I always love a good period piece, especially one that is (loosely) based on true events. The empress of the Austrian Hungarian Empire was a unique human being and so is her story.

It’s shocking that this is true.

In this miniseries, an apparently perfect British Politician unexpectedly finds himself in a scandal. Nothing new in the plot but the cast is excellent. Hard to stop watching.

Another miniseries based on real events. It fascinates me how long people can get away with things, especially of this magnitude. We see what we want to believe.

This one is very dark. Not usually my style, but if you are into thrillers, you might enjoy. The gist of it is crimes, detectives and drama.

A small town in Norway boosts their hockey team by bringing in a famous hockey player as head coach. Things go a bit sideways and drama ensues.

A man is charged for a crime he claims he did not commit. The mini series tracks how he defends himself in court.

A fun portrayal of the rise and fall of American designer Halston.

A young Hasidic Jew flees her marriage in Brooklyn in search of freedom.

This miniseries chronicles the investigation of the Submarine Case that happened in 2017 in the Copenhagen harbour. There is no gore, it is purely focused on the investigation. And is very well done.

An orphaned chess prodigy sets out to become the best in the world.

Belgian series about the 12 jury members in a murder trial. Intense but well done.

This is the true story of Isreal’s most prominent spy.

Tom Hardy at his best. It is gritty, well acted and hard to stop watching.

Detectives chasing criminals…

British Royalty in bright lights. Another excellent production from writing, to casting and set design you will not be disappointed. And not to worry, this isn’t a Royalty fan show, this will give you a deep look at what goes on behind the veneer.

Deutchland 83/85/89 follows the decline of East Germany. It is riveting and interesting snippet of history. This is a 3 season show with different directors for each season. My favourite was by far the first season.

Another (excellent) spy show.

The whole series from start to finish is done to perfection. Great acting, perfect set and costume design and riveting story line.

A pot dealer in New York City and all the adventures he gets him into during his deliveries.

I had to. Just go back to the beginning and watch if you haven’t for a while. It’s worth your time. Avoid the movies and definitely avoid the latest iteration And Just Like That.

I am a sucker for a well executed period piece and this one is definitely on point. Perfect casting, perfect set design and perfect costume design. You will get carried away with the story. Maggie Smith steals the show in my opinion. Her one liners will make you giggle. If haven’t seen and you like a good period piece, this is binge worthy.
