Exactly.

My preferences are documentaries, period drama (Foyle's War, The Crown), or (occasionally) something such as Star Trek.
I like anything that is an escape from reality.
Game of Thrones, sci fi, fantasy, but I also watch football and stand up or other comedy’s.
The news.

I can’t stand soaps or reality TV. That’s a no in our house.
[doublepost=1549564149][/doublepost]Oh and some of the excellent nature programs on the BBC and other channels.

Agreed that soaps and reality TV are awful.

Not in my house, either.

Okay, current affairs, (but that is not a TV series), is another thing I will watch, and yes, absolutely, BBC nature programmes/documentaries (and history documentaries).

The past few weeks we finished S01 of Babylon Berlin.

Bloody brilliant!

If you can, see it in the original German with subtitles. The English dubbing is just so-so…

Weimar, 1929…

Here's a taster.

Just finished the second season of Mars on National Geographic Channel. While I enjoyed it, I found it a bit tedious at times with all of the global warming/climate change preaching.

I liked the first season but then we switched cable companies and don’t get Nat Geo. Guess I have to wait for the dvds. Do you know if there will be a third season? I hate to google it myself because the results sometimes have spoilers right in the headlines.

Catching up on British crime series; 'Wire in the Blood' is providing a interesting concept, and alternating it with 'Inspector George Gently'.

The Sweeney? That takes me back.
Television was more open up until the late 1990s. Can you imagine The Fast Show today making the same gags they did then or more daring ones? There's few shows that challenge authority but they're all so very late at night.

"Sex Education"
first episode was rough not as expected. Watched the whole season and it was sweet loving for the most part.
