FTA-TV Uk cop shows - shadow line, top boy and more

[djrossie16]

Just finished watching season 5 of Love/Hate

Brilliant stuff!

We are on the fifth season of Spiral now, and it's great stuff. Definitely my TV highlight of the week.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Apparently, it's out right now. At least, just aired in Ireland.

Seen The Missing and The Fall Season 2 at the end of last year. Both worth watching, but I rate Happy Valley and Line of Duty with better plots .

Righto I have 1 month to 'acquire' as many TV shows as I can even if I have watched them. Hit me up with essentials from here. Have watched Top Boy and Luther etc but they will be on but haven't been following this thread like I use to.

flight23 help a brother out.

Line of Duty - 2 seasons very good stuff
Happy Valley
Peaky Blinders
shadow line
good cop
Spiral/Engrenages - its french but a bunch of us have been down the rabbit hole, its pretty amazing
Strike Back if you want a 24 type ride
The Honourable woman - excellent series from last year

not sure what you've seen, but thats a pretty decent snapshot

The Fall could be slotted into this category.

Season six is actually on now. But only in France. No subbies are kicking around.

Just watched the game (from 2014). British m15 spy thriller. Was excellent.

going to give Line of Duty & Good Cop a go, seen the rest, any other new ones floating about anyone recommends?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Not many new UK crime dramas.
Is love/hate getting a another season?

 

[Cookie]

Not all cop shows but crime related and worth a look none the less. The Poms are good at making short series.

Accused
The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies
Code of a Killer
Jimmy Rose
Prey
The Jury
Southcliffe
What Remains

Looking forward to
Unforgotten
From Darkness

 

[rocker_oz33]

Code of a killer looks good.

 

[Troubadour]

Started From Darkness and Unforgotten - prefer Unforgotten at this stage.

Waiting to watch The River

Enjoyed Good Cop, pity they didn't flesh it out a little more.

I'm enjoying Unforgotten. Stellar cast too.

 

[Troubadour]

I'm enjoying Unforgotten. Stellar cast too.

It's strange how more engaging a pretty standard cop show can be in the hands of the British vs the Americans. I'm a little confused though as I thought all female cops also looked and dressed like models ;-)

Hahaha.... yes, refreshingly free of the stupid tropes and stereotypical casting.

Agree, been good so far

Yeah, other than the odd exception, the Poms do cop shows better than anyone & real life characters probably has a lot to do with it.

Also it was good to see Bricktop make an appearance as well, hasn't aged a day

 

[rumply]

Watched a few ep's of Accused, it's pretty grim but very well done I reckon.

 

[Gasometer]

Any news on Happy Valley S02?

 

[Cookie]

You should like Christopher Jefferies as it was based on a true story.

One that I left off my list is Common. Only one episode but quite disturbing.

Babylon getting much love on here?


I have a huge thing for Brit Marling.
