United Kingdom - TV SHOWS & MOVIES

Did you watch No Offence? We also enjoyed that. There is so much good stuff on Acorn.

Yes, I love No Offence!

One more "for your consideration", should it come your way: The Long Song, an adaptation (shown here in three hour-long episodes) of Andrea Levy's novel based around the end of slavery in Jamaica. I found it deeply involving and moving.

Roz,
This is super helpful information. I had no idea Acorn specialized in British programming! As I said, all I have is Netflix and it's a struggle for me to find anything worth watching. I adore British shows. Even the bad ones are still better than almost anything else, in my opinion.

I will check out the free trial.

I used to get Netflix to watch House of Cards, but after seeing the first episode of this (final) season, I'm not even going to bother. Maybe if a new season of Grace and Frankie comes out......

Oh, but The Great British Baking Show is on Netflix!

I agree; PU on House of Cards. I did like Travelers, Liked the first season of Designated Survivor, but it's getting long in the tooth. Lost in Space is kind of interesting. there are some older ones I thought were worthy like that Donal Sutherland in the Hague (can't recall the name)......I forgot about Acorn. Need to get it.

We watched the whole season but I did not like it. We should not have bothered.

I recorded it. I read one of her books (Small Island, I think) and really liked it. I have a lot of stuff recorded that we are making our way through.
