Heartland. Family story, beautiful setting

Along the line of Heartland, I'm loving McLeod's Daughters.

2 sisters and other women run a ranch (called stations) in Australia. Australian dialogue of course, so you may want to turn on CC. It's on Tubi, but it may also be on Netflix.

Derry Girls! So funny and so much fun.

Watched the movie "The Dig" last night. I lìked it and thought it was well done. Reminded me of a Masterpiece type of movie. Sometimes hard to understand because of the accents, or my old ears. DH thought it moved a little slow. Nice change from car chases, fight scenes, sex and swearing.

We've been watching quite a few shows that were filmed in Europe and dubbed in English. I'm very picky because if the dubbing is bad, I can't watch the shows.

We watched both seasons of Signs yesterday. A Polish drama police mystery show. 8 episodes in two seasons.

Capatani is a German made police/drama show that was also well done.

Tribes of Europa is a dystopian type show. Not sure where it was filmed. So far just one season has uploaded and we are looking forward to the next. There is a lot of violence in this one.

The Crew is a comedy and just one season so far. American race car crew staring Kevin James It's really funny and worth the watch. Looking forward to season two but it'll be another year if Netflix renews it.

Snowpiercer is another dystopian television series. Although American, it's filmed in Canada (my sister has worked on it). Very good show with some violence but not as much as Tribes of Europa. Season 1 is uploaded and Season 2 is airing now, with one new episode each week.

My Octopus Teacher.....I strongly recommend it.

Oh, my goodness, My Octopus Teacher was amazing! An absolute surprise that it was so riveting and incredibly beautiful.

We enjoyed Call My Agent, in French with subtitles. About a talent agency in Paris, actual French actors play themselves, and Sigourney Weaver even features in an episode. The only thing that puzzled us was that each season, even though the cast stayed the same, it seemed new writers and costume/hair people were involved, because the characters seemed to change Inexplicably, not like they developed, more like, “I’m writing for this character now and here’s how he will behave”

I loved Last Tango in Halifax, I watched it Twice! Virgin River, Rectify, Call the Midwife, Dolly Parton's Heart strings, A man with a plan, The Sinner, I care a lot.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I have a list now, so we will eventually give them a try. Yes, we enjoy the European ones, too.

Another vote for Lupin and Call my Agent, as well as Babylon Berlin and Charité, both German productions.

The Irish Pub was an interesting look into a cultural aspect of Ireland. I also enjoyed The Dig, also set in Ireland.

It was actually set in East Anglia in England. Really good movie, and the treasures uncovered at Sutton Hoo are spectacular. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sutton-hoo

I just started Annie with a E, it has lots of recommendations on that one.

Anne with an E is definitely a different take on Anne Shirley.

See if The Fundamentals of Caring is still available. It is a fantastic movie with Paul Rudd.

I learned about Longmire here at the KT. Loved that show! It's about a sheriff of a small county in Wyoming. Great characters to care about, and layered, thoughtful plots. A friend told me when she finished the series she went back and started over again. I can understand why!

Right now I'm watching Gilmore Girls, an old series I always wanted to see. I'm really enjoying it.

Sometimes hard to understand because of the accents, or my old ears.

That's why I always use close captioning for British shows

I watched "I Care A Lot" last night. Everyone needs to see this movie. It was the best Netflix movie that I have seen up to this point in time.

Terezosa, what a good idea! I watched half of an episode of "Hinterland" recently, and the rapid speech with Welsh accents left me clueless as to what they were doing. What is this building? Why are they here? What did he see? LOL I'll try it again with captioning--thanks!

I also have a problem with foreign accents. I use a Roku that has the option of plugging ear plugs into the remote. That mutes the TV but I can understand everything being said with no problem at all. The sound is 100% better then listening to the TV speakers.

Behind Her Eyes was really hard to understand because of their Scottish and British accents.

Wow! This is more than I imagined. We really appreciate good advice. Thank you.

I have used Close Captioning but I end up being focused on reading instead of the acting. I miss getting totaly involved in the show.

I just heard a riveting review of the series, Behind Her Eyes, by David Bianculli on Fresh Air. It sounds wonderfully suspenseful and dark. Bianculli warns listeners not to look for spoilers if they have not already read the book the series is based on.

The Stranger is a British mystery series. First season was very entertaining. Loved how all the characters were interlinked at the end of the series

The Stranger is based on a Harlan Coben book. It was very interesting and as 5 hole pointed out - the characters are intertwined. After all the plots twists I thought the ending was a little disappointing - but that was me. My kids loved it.

Watched I Care A lot tonight and liked the ending.

"Elizabeth William" is known to edit posts to add spam.

Escape to the Country is wonderful to watch. I have escaped to the country since! :-)

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. WWII movie. Very true to the book.

We always have closed captions on our tvs and it is especially helpful for foreign accents.

I loved Firefly Lane. I binged it one Sunday.

I watched a couple of episodes of Locke and Key but couldn't get into it as much as I'd hoped. I loved The Umbrella Academy and I think it's along those lines.

I am hooked on Grey's Anatomy. This is my first time watching it, I can't get enough of it, I'm on season 15. I hardly watched any holiday movies this year, Greys took over.

I like Grey's Anatomy too.

Anyone up for a grim Russian film? Try "Sunstroke".

We don't use Netflix but stream from Amazon Prime. Using our Masterpiece link there, we recently enjoyed Season One of "All Creatures Great & Small". We'll wait until Season Two has concluded so that we can watch an episode a day all at once.

Today we saw the final episode of "The Passing Bells", a WWI commemorative by the BBC in 2014.

I'm just started watching The Stranger tonite. It's one of Harlan Cohen's shows. Another one of his I watched was The Nest. Both thrillers.

Jasdip, his latest is Stay Close. I haven't watched it yet. I enjoyed The Stranger. Not so much Safe. I'm not familiar with The Nest.

Judi, Yes! Stay close is on my list after I'm done the stranger.

We just watched two episodes of the new Queer Eye, filmed in Austin Texas. Fabulous!

My Octopus Teacher is a fascinating documentary. The Queen's Gambit is superb. Check out Ozark, too. The new season starts soon. Netflix has really gone woke and a lot of the new stuff isn't very appealing to our demographic, but there are some hidden gems. The nice thing about most of the streaming apps is that there's no contract so you can cancel/rejoin anytime.

Netflix has really gone woke

What does this mean?

Maybe a bit late to help the OP but... a good way to train your Netflix is to look up shows/movies you know you like and have watched. Load them up then scan to the end to it registers as watched. Netflix will then make suggestions based off that.

My Octopus Teacher was wonderful!

Thanks for the heads up on season 4 of Ozark.

Penguin Town was an unexpected little gem.

Third and final season of After Life starts on the 14th.

Yes - After Life new season starts Friday 😊

Never Have I Ever has an upcoming new season too - that's a sweet show I liked a lot.

Started watching the Joan Didion doc today and it's really good.

Also watching Don't Look Up, but I can only take it in short bursts, since it's a bit nerve wracking, and also densely packed with imagery. If I look away for a moment, I miss a lot.

And I think you can simply add things to your watch list to show Netflix what type of stuff you prefer.

Judi- Thanks for the thumbs up on Penguin Town. That sounds like something we'll enjoy.

I watched Don't Look Up a few weeks ago and liked it. I am eagerly awaiting Ozark. The Queen's Gambit was great as is The Crown. My Octopus Teacher was beyond sweet.

Judi I'm watching Stay Close now. Richard Armitage is in this one as well as Stranger. He must regularly star in Harlan Coben's shows. I like him.

Thank you for all of the updated suggestions! We generally watch these shows only in the winter, so it was perfect timing. We recently began watching Downton Abbey and are enjoying it. We loved The Crown and My Octopus Teacher. We will look into some of these others. If all else fails I will watch The Holiday again, and again…….

I'm still hooked on Grey's Anatomy.

Not Netflix, but a new DVD that my DH brought home from the library: "Many Saints of Newark". It's a look at Tony Soprano as a kid, growing up in his mob family. We watched the first half yesterday and will finish it today. Michael GAndolfini plays young Tony, the character that made his late father, James, famous in "The Sopranos". It's harsh, violent and crude, as you'd expect, and more so due to the timing -- the eruption of race riots in Newark.

Adding: Don't skip the credits or you'll miss hearing the beautiful song, "Calling All Angels". (I don't care much for the lyrics, but it's a beautiful sentiment and melody, and is beautifully sung.)

Started watching the Joan Didion documentary, after my sister recommended it, and it's very good. I didn't realize she was related by marriage to Griffin Dunne and his family.

We enjoyed "The Tender Bar", George Clooney's 2021 production. A smart kid grows up living with single mom in the crowded home of her aged parents (without deadbeat radio- personality father). Mother's brother helps parent the boy from behind the neighborhood bar he owns. Uncle and the 'regulars' at The Dickens Bar lend life lessons and encourage the boy to winning a scholarship to Yale, and post-graduation snags with career and lovelife. 3 Stars.
