I watched it a while ago, I could watch it again. I'll consider it.

cougaman

1/24/21 10:39pm

Have you done person of interest?

(Private)

1/24/21 10:40pm

I watched that one, but lost interest (no pun intended) after a few seasons.

cougaman

1/24/21 10:41pm

Burn notice?

(Private)

1/24/21 10:52pm

I've seen that one. Liked it. Don't think it's my wife's type of show.

cougaman

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

WhirleyPop

1/24/21 10:37pm

We already watch that one

cougaman

1/24/21 10:39pm

How would you rate that one?

(Private)

1/24/21 10:41pm

recommend it 9/10. A lot of swearing though.

cougaman

1/24/21 10:44pm

Ripper Street. A British period piece meets police procedural with murders and drama.

YIsForBrigham

1/24/21 10:37pm

How intense does it get?

cougaman

1/24/21 10:40pm

I’ve been watching Grimm at the recommendation of one of my young men...

blueaussie

1/24/21 10:42pm

Is that a CW show?

cougaman

1/24/21 10:48pm

It’s on Amazon prime. Strangely addicting for me.

blueaussie

Succession on HBO

Tare

1/24/21 10:43pm

Psych? The office? Stranger things? Game show seasons Amazing race/survivor?

I'll run these by my wife, we tried B99 a few episodes when it first came out,

cougaman

1/24/21 10:52pm

Its been a while since I watched it all, I enjoyed all of it for the most part

BYUFootballisBack

1/24/21 11:01pm

Downton Abbey is very good

BYUFootballisBack

1/24/21 11:02pm

She's seen every episode at least 4 times probably.

cougaman

1/24/21 11:07pm

The Mentalist.

Cheap Seats

1/24/21 10:54pm

Very good show.

LifeLongLakerFan

1/24/21 10:59pm

Also, Sherlock. The BBC version. Very good.

LifeLongLakerFan

1/24/21 11:00pm

Very good but doubt it fits his wife's criteria

BYUFootballisBack

1/24/21 11:01pm

she actually liked that one...

cougaman

1/24/21 11:08pm

Nice I would consider many of the episodes to be very intense haha

BYUFootballisBack

1/24/21 11:20pm

Its right up her alley!

Tricky

1/24/21 11:10pm

Have you watched Foyle's War? She'll probably like it, but you might like the

Tricky

1/24/21 10:55pm

The Crown...I’ve been surprised how much I enjoy the show.

Housemartin

1/24/21 10:56pm

Yeah, she burns through those too fast for me to watch with her. I work evenings

cougaman

1/24/21 10:58pm

Poldark. British period show, so she'll like it, but surprisingly

LifeLongLakerFan

1/24/21 10:58pm

My wife already watched it. I saw a few episodes with her.

cougaman

1/25/21 9:02am

I enjoyed it too. Maybe I have a thing for strong-willed redheads.

British: Sherlock, Foyle's War, Lewis. American: Psych, Monk, Chuck, West Wing

CapitalCougar

1/24/21 11:00pm

Try Luther too. British police procedural but its got some of what you like in

Tricky

1/24/21 11:07pm

Endeavor is a good option. I loved Luther, but she didn't keep watching.

cougaman

1/24/21 11:09pm

Same here with Luther. I figured you'd like it given your other likes. My wife

Tricky

1/24/21 11:12pm

That reminds me, I need to watch the latest season

cougaman

1/24/21 11:13pm

Check out Shetland. Another amazing UK cop show. Maybe a bit intense for her

Tricky

1/24/21 11:14pm

Didn't suggest Endeavor cuz it's gritty, but it you like Luther, try Whitechapel

CapitalCougar

1/25/21 12:26am

And its time for me to start watching The West Wing again. Such a great show.

Tricky

Murdoch Mysteries. Doc Martin.

I love Doc Martin. It's a "comfort food" show for me.

Sneaky Pete or imposters. A recommendation for you is You on netflix.

fldnstrm

1/25/21 8:13am

I've seen sneaky Pete (are they doing a 4th season). I saw Imposter on Netflix,

cougaman

1/25/21 9:00am

Imposters is kind of in the same vein as sneaky pete, not quite as good but we enjoyed it.

fldnstrm

1/25/21 9:05am

The Detectorists sounds perfect for your mix.
