What are you watching at the moment?

I like sbs and abc iview

@Arizona @Gwynn

Do you have ABC iView? I like watching backroads and Australian stuff.

can you name me one or 2 series you did enjoy so i can get an idea of what you like? I used to love house and Californication.

Pretty topical actually. I'm in cartoon mode. "Rick and Morty" is going very well. Maybe one of the best shows of our time. Reminds me of how I felt when "The Simpsons" first came out.

I'm a bit torn over the new "He-Man". It's a bit game of thrones this time round. I was also torn watching new She-Ra. Things were taken away (like Bow's moustache) but given back in other forms (i.e. the classic Bow moustache was on one Bow's dads.) All in all, She-Ra was totally worth it but I'm still torn over being half-way through He-Man. Cast is steller, animation is nice and kind of classic and they're about to off another favourite character of mine and there's nothing I can do to stop them.

Hi, thanks very much for your replies.

@AussieRecharger I think I can watch ABC iView online (without a TV). I will tell you what shows I have liked in the past...

The Supervet

The Crown

Midsomer Murders

All Creatures Great and Small (original)

Pride and Prejudice

The Bill

The Sopranos

Seinfeld

Seachange

My mind has gone blank. I can't think of anything else.

Hi there @Arizona as some of your shows match with things I like to watch thought I'd add a few you might be able to access through IView and Netflix. Some shows finish their run, then come back again after a few months too.

Currently on iView that I enjoyed -

Mystery Road (Australian) and there's a prequel movie, Goldstone, that available on iView too- I didn't find it until after watching MR, which might have made it more interesting than if I'd seen it first. Aaron Pederson will be in a new show about Australia - Back to Nature - coming in August.

Smother was okay,

South Solitary - movie - quirky interesting

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries - Australian - love it, Essie Davis is brilliant, as are so many of the cast.

Fisk is quite a good comedy - I like Kitty Flannagan, also, Mad as Hell & Hard Quiz.

You Can't Ask That - I like to watch these when they come around, some are hard to watch so maybe be aware of the subject for each one.

Harrow (Australian- Brisbane)

Hinterland (Welsh)

Vera (UK)

The Brokenwood Mysteries (NZ)

The Silence (UK)

There's a way to watch stuff through libraries too, I can't remember what it's called and don't have the link right now. I thought it was a different one from Kanopy, but I might be confusing it with something else.

Netflix

You might like

Virgin River

Midnight Diner - subtitled as is in Japanese - lovely stories about people meeting in a Japanese diner that open at Midnight - feel good stuff.

Marcella - police detective

Longmire - American, but not loud and smashy, lead actor is an Aussie, Katee Sackhoff is great (Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica) I almost cried when it finished as I enjoyed it so much.

The Witcher

The Dig

There's probably more, but that's what I found in a bit of a look through. Hopefully, you might find something in there that's entertaining.

Hi @Last-Lament

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. I will have a look at the shows you mentioned. They sound interesting. I haven't watched television for years so I'm out of touch with what's on. I made a conscious choice to stop watching television and using social media. But then the coronavirus happened and I found myself in lockdown.

Hi @Arizona On B.i.n.g.e streaming tv 10 dollars a month is a series called Mr Inbetween

lit an Aussie make low budget, and it's naughty

just different than most the stuff out there atm

hope this helps

@Arizona I ditched Netflix and Prime and replaced with Britbox which is all British TV and LOVE it. SBS is also a good standby.

I also have a subscription to a small UK based channel called History Hit because I love history, and some of their shows are just vidoes of lectures, not "produced" television. The also have podcasts.
