So I got a one-week #Britbox trial on Amazon to watch the #BBC M.R. James Ghost Stories for Christmas adaptations. What else should I watch while I have access to this? #CoSoFilm #CoSoMovies #TV #Television
@Apocryphiliac
All the Miss Marple
All the Hercule Poirot
All the Hyacinth BOOKay
All the Are You Being Served...
Oh and maybe that one with the British cop who goes to the Caribbean, wears a suit, and complains the whole time.
I love Britbox. π
@janallmac British Cop in the Caribbean? Hmm.
I know next to nothing about British TV/movies, tbh. It's a huge blind spot for me.
@Apocryphiliac
I think it's called Death in Paradise...
@janallmac Yep, I found it! Thanks for the suggestions. π
@Apocryphiliac
You're welcome! My taste runs toward murder mysteries and cheesy sitcoms, apparently, but I enjoy them. I hope you do too.
Just an fyi, but if you subscribe do it directly through BritBox. The Amazon option has a more limited offering.
@Agatha Ah, thanks for the heads up.
@Apocryphiliac Download Freevee and watch The Detectorists.
Time with Sean Bean was awesome, but harrowing
the new version of Why Didn't They Ask Evans with Lucy Boynton & Will Poulter was very cute
Luther was awesome, but prob not possible to knock out in 7 days
@opie Sounds good, I love Sean Bean. I actually own Luther digitally. Bought it bc I like Elba so much, but tbh could not get into it after a few episodes. I don't remember why, though.
the series as a whole takes a pretty wild turn into awesomeness after the first few episodes (which are basically pretty standard "crime of the week" procedurals)...the Ruth Wilson character (Alice Morgan) becomes a major part of the show in a very compelling way...
@Apocryphiliac The Mayor of Casterbridge starrng Claran Hinds is only available on Britbox. Saw it a few yrs ago. Terrific. Highly recommend.
@Jacki Noted, thank you!
@Apocryphiliac I just binge Agatha Christie, because Poirot and Marple are comfort watches.
Has anyone watched River, or Pembrokeshire Murders, or Barking Murders? (What can I say, I'm a sucker for murders.)
