I don't think I saw a single episode of The Office when it was on TV, so I am enjoying having it on my Netflix rotation when I need a half hour of mindless entertainment (when Cliff isn't in the room--he doesn't care for it). I am four episodes into re-watching The West Wing, and enjoying revisiting it. I need to have shows available when I want to play solitaire on my Kindle and can "half listen" -- British crime dramas are no good for that, the accent alone requires my full attention!
I finished Deadwind last week. Made sure to put everything down and watch in the early evening so I could give the subtitles my full attention (it's in Finnish) -- that was a good show too. And I stumbled on Case, which has a rather irritating voice over describing all the action in addition to English dubbing of the Norwegian ("Red letters appear on a white background, Netflix. A blonde girl watches a boy crossing the street toward her"). I discovered that once I watched an episode of Case, the weird voice over carried into other foreign shows. The only way I could disconnect the voice over from River was to watch an American show, and then go back to it.
I am taking a short break from Queen of the South (thank you to the person up thread that recommended it) and Outlander because of drugs and violence in the one, and violence and a bit slow moving in the other. Seems like a good time to try Frost.

River was one of the most interesting and riveting series we have watched.
I recommended it here on TUG a while back.
And looking back at the many ones we've enjoyed over the past 2-3 years, it still stands out as one of the very best.
Matter of fact, it may be my personal favorite.
Lately we've been watching Frost, and we like it a lot----will be sad when it's over.
