Just spent an hour looking at whats on TV, I seem to have used up all the decent dramas so what now?
Nothing on Terrestrial apart from some remake of predator starting at 9pm which will probably be awful.
BBC iPlayer, I have watched everything that appeals
Amazon Prime, I got fed up with trawling through **** TV and Films so cancelled my subscription.
So here I am posting out of frustration
 
I only recently subscribed to Netflix and was amazed at how many great films and series there are on it.
I subscribed ages ago but got fed up and switched to Prime, I could try Netflix again but it annoys me I cant seem to see what they have to watch prior to subscribing like you can with Prime
 
I find with Netflix and Prime is that you need to watch a few things so it knows what you like and it becomes earlier to find things to your taste.
 
WW1: The Last Tommies is on tonight on BB4.

A series of interviews of veterans from WW1.
 
+1 for Netflix.
It's crazy over here with the number of options that are free if you don't mind a normal amount of commercials. I have no idea what you have or don't have. @Chippy_Tea mentioned Netflix so I know you have that and there are no commercials.
 
I very rarely watch terrestrial telly - just about everything we watch is on Netflix/Amazon/Disney+

I entirely agree. I've been watching Dark - which is German with English subtitles but it really is very worth it. I'm most of the way through series three. It is a bit .... erm dark.. as in don't expect smiles and laughs but crikey it's clever, and well acted. Away from subscription TV and if drama or documentary are your thing then the All4 player for channel 4 has a vast collection of both all for free.
 
I have watched a lot on Netflix and Amazon more recently, perhaps I am too fussy but many modern films turn me off, I can't stand too much CGI in a film. I did watch The Fall recently on BBC iPlayer which I enjoyed. All4 has some stuff on but most of it seems very dated.

Watched the first season of that, was very good, similar to Stranger things but more grown up.. SHould really get back into that
 
People in work go on about series this series that...Breaking Bad,Vikings,something about zombies...I really don't have the time to sit all day watching telly. I like a film now and then or a random documentary plus I'll watch cooking programmes but that's it. We got Sky and Netflix but its used mostly by the kids. When I flick through the listing I think it's mostly rubbish.
