    I think I'll start watching Broadchurch! Sounds like it'll be a great follow-up to Safe

    It's better IMO. It's a slower burn than Safe.

    Nice, I like that... Safe was enjoyable, but I thought it lacked depth. It was also tough for me at first because I was a huge Dexter fan so I've typecasted Michael C Hall a little bit.

    One episode left to go in Narcos season 3. A little less enjoyable than season's one and two but fun regardless. Solid 8/10. If you don't like subtitles and having to read the screen 90% of the time, you won't enjoy any season.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Luther also has one of my all-time favourite on-screen characters. (No it isn't the lead - if you've seen it you know who it is).

    Another great British show is Happy Valley - same level of quality across the board. If you like Broadchurch and Luther, I highly recommend this one.

    Another good one is Spotless - but it's got more of a Breaking Bad feel to it in terms of dark humour (but still serious as hell).

    I checked out Safe. Pretty good. I agree on Michael C Hall. He makes a better Dexter.

    You will really enjoy Broadchurch.

    Happy Valley is excellent. James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce is evil. Set in Northern England.

    The Fall. Leading male Jamie Dornan as Paul Spector is pure evil. Set in Northern Ireland.

    Wallender. Set in Sweden. Novels written by Henning Mankel. Excellent series.

    Shetland. Set in Scotland. Excellent novels by Ann Cleeves.

    The Bridge. Set between Sweden and Denmark. Sub titles. Sofia Helin as Saga Noren will be the best female detective lead you have watched.

    If you like any of the above you will definitely like them all. Very well written. Excellent casting and good character depth.

    Enjoy.

    Enjoy.
    I enjoyed both of those series as well. Overall, I like the gritty, murder shows set in Europe.

    I agree 100% . The European shows are mostly fantastic.

    Then you will really enjoy The Fall and The Bridge.
    Oh ya, Hinterland, set in Scotland.

    There is another one set in Finland. Very good. Just can’t recall the name right now.

    Agree with you on Hinterland. While it's an Australian show, I really enjoyed Dr. Blake's Mysteries. The show is set in 50's and is a great period piece. Besides murder shows I LOVED IT Crowd and greatly enjoyed WIA. Give it WIA some time. The absurdity of the show really grew on me.

    I finally caved and watched Cobra Kai. I went in with low expectations and was thinking it would be cheese filled. Also, being a YouTube original, I wasn’t thinking it would be credible. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was well written and a fresh take on the franchise. It was believable and paid homage to the original well.

    If you have never signed up for YouTube Red, you can get it for 3 months for free. So, you could sign up and watch the series, and then cancel before you are billed. I do watch a lot of YouTube, and I like the idea of ad free viewing, so I may keep my subscription.

    Excellent series. Sofia Helin as Saga Noren is fantastic. One of the best female lead actors in a crime drama series I have ever seen.
    I have attached the Wikipedia excerpt about the series below.


    The Bridge (Danish: Broen; Swedish: Bron) is a Scandinavian noir crime television series created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt. A joint creative and financed production between Sweden's Sveriges Television and Denmark's DR, it has been shown in more than 100 countries.[1]
    The first series begins with the discovery of a dead body exactly on the centre of the Oresund Bridge, which links Malmo with Copenhagen, necessitating a joint investigation. Sofia Helin, as the Swedish police detective Saga Noren, stars in all four series.

    After being recommended "Safe" on this board, Netflix told me to watch "Marcella." Fantastic recommendation; even better than Safe, IMO. Gritty, crime drama. Keeps you guessing.

    I have watched all but 2 or 3 of Season 1 of Cobra Kai and really enjoyed it. Definitely cheering for the "bad" guy!

    For those of you who enjoyed Safe, check out Harlen's Coban's series from 2016- The Five. I enjoyed it more than Safe. Very powerful.
