Ambulance (2016– )

Ambulance - an amazing show

[10/10 · 3 September 2022]

I love this show. It's so well made and highlights the amazing work of the ambulance crews and the emergencies every day people are going through. The Geordie series is the best yet. Really shows the whit and kindness of Geordies in general.

It's clearly such a hard job for the crews. I don't know how they get through each day. Makes me appreciate them all the more after watching this.

Heart wrenching stuff. I'd highly recommend this as a must watch.

Well done to the BBC. It just gets better and better. Hope it continues for more series. Can't wait for the next episode.

The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe (2022)

Great leading actors

[7/10 · 18 April 2022]

Being from Newcastle I'm very impressed with the 2 leading actors doing Hartlepool accents. I'm always amazed when anyone can do convincing regional accents. Well done.

When the Dust Settles (2020)

Amongst one of the best Danish shows I've seen

[10/10 · 24 January 2022]

It was so cleverly written and thoroughly absorbing. I'm sad it's over and I'm having to move on to something new.

I would highly recommend it if you like Scandinavian shows like The Killing, Borgen, Trapped, Bordertown and Modus.

The Secret Life of Us (2001–2006)

Rating for series 1, 2 and 3.

[8/10 · 17 July 2021]

I loved the first 3 series. Series 4 was a disappointment. It felt like a different show as most of the original characters were gone.

Time (2021– )

Brilliant

[10/10 · 7 June 2021]

Fabulous from start to finish with perfect casting, great acting and a good storyline. Can't recommend it highly enough.

In the Flesh (2013–2014)

What a brilliant show

[9/10 · 3 March 2021]

I'm late to the party finding this gem and I'm shocked to see the BBC cancelled this after 2 series. Gutted is putting it mildly.

Traitors (2019)

Enjoyable series

[8/10 · 24 February 2019]

I've watched all 6 episodes and I wasn't bored at all. In fact I hope there's a second series.

New Blood (2016)

I loved this show

[8/10 · 30 January 2019]

Re-run is available on Netflix for those that missed it. I've no idea why there hasn't been a second series. I'm very disappointed about that.
