Trying to decide on a new tv series to watch. I don’t get around to seeing much these days, so it needs to be something worth investing my time in!

Recent series I’ve enjoyed:

#Wednesday
#EgyptByTrain - Prof Alice Roberts
#TheChange - Bridget Christie
#DerryGirls
#JonathanRossMythsAndLegends

Interests: history (particularly 20th century), US and UK politics, comedy, gender curious

Any recommendations?

@JugglingWithEggs We've just finished watching The Bear, and it's good. It doesn't match *any* of the series you mention though!
@OpinionatedGeek what’s it about? Honestly, I mostly live in a cave when it comes to tv, so I haven’t heard of it!

@JugglingWithEggs Kindof: 'A chef who worked at one of the top places in the world goes back to Chicago to run his family's restaurant.'

It's mostly about the interactions between the people though.

@OpinionatedGeek this is suddenly ringing bells…maybe I have read about it!
@JugglingWithEggs Maybe! It gets a thumbs-up from here anyway. For some reason, I like half-half-hour shows - even if I binge watch them for hours. (Maybe the half hour format forces the writers to focus it get to the point quicker?)
@OpinionatedGeek there is much to be said for that format…it’s normally late by the time I get to watch anything, so shorter things stand a better chance of getting watched by me!
@JugglingWithEggs This just in: I don't know if this will encourage or discourage you, but someone has put together a playlist of all the songs that were in Season 2: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7rqTga25VWJpEW52RQSLAC?si=24d21cd7b7044003 - might give you more of a feel for the show.
