Ah, Friday… The start of the weekend. Any plans? In the UK, it’s getting colder and wetter—perfect weather to curl up with a mug of tea, a slice of cheesecake and a bit of Netflix viewing. I’m new to Netflix. So far I’ve only used it to watch Matt Smith’s Doctor Who and a David Tennant film that’s not available in the US.
Today, I’m sharing some amazing, diverse
series that I love watching. This list started off much bigger, until I
realised how underrepresented British TV is on US Netflix. (Such a same, we
have loads of US series.) I hope you enjoy checking out this selection.
1.
Black Mirror: very dark British
humour set in the near future. Individual stories, so if you don’t like one,
you might love the next.

3.
Merlin: a brilliant
family-friendly drama reimagining of the King Arthur stories. The first series
started off light and humorous, but it gets a lot darker as you work through
it.

Besides being a pro at getting healthy, Annalisa Crawford is a multi-published author of literary fiction and dark, psychological suspense. She lives near the beach in Cornwall, UK with her musician husband, her two boys, and some furry critters. Check out Annalisa's work HERE.
*********************************
Thanks for stopping by Annalisa! I always find it fun to weed out the differences in our very similar cultures.
I never realized Brits used scales over cups when cooking- I suppose that saves on dirty dishes.
I also get a kick out of digestive crackers from her mum's cheesecake recipe. I imagine a wafer made by Pepto Bismol. Annalisa promises if she ever flies to the States, she'll bring me some. She also assures me a cracker is a cookie. As we all know, I'm all about the cookies, so I'm eagerly awaiting Annalisa's visit.
And I certainly didn't know they have access to so many awesome shows that we can't get. It's like they have their very own, secret Netflix. What's up with that?

Huge thanks to you, Elizabeth and Tara, for having me visit for the whole week. I've really enjoyed it. I will definitely be bringing a whole suitcase of digestives for you - then you'll know why they're the PERFECT cheesecake base :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm holding you to that! Not because I'm dying to get digestives, but because I'd love to finally get to hang out with you in real life!
DeleteI remember that digestive cracker/cookie discussion on the FB!
ReplyDeleteThese shows look very interesting.

They are very diverse shows - I like to mix up my viewing :-)
DeleteI've watched all the Black Mirror shows on Netflix already. Loved them. I watch a lot of shows on BBC. I like the British sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteThey are so well written, I wish I could come up with plots like that!
