I never watch TV anymore.  I suppose that is not unusual among those with young children.  However, Netflix, ah Netflix.  I watch more Netflix than I cared to when I was pregnant and not feeling well.  Then I used it to pass the time when I was nursing B around the clock.  Now, H and I are finally finding some time in the evenings to watch TV together.  H likes nature shows and action flicks.  I prefer dramas.  The only thing we can both agree on are British cop shows.  We’ve made our way through what is, in my opinion, pretty much the best TV show ever, Inspector Lewis.  We tried a few other candidates, but we’ve settled on two very different, but both enjoyable, British cop shows.  First, Hinterland.  This one is based in Wales and, interestingly, was filmed twice – once in Welsh and once in English.  It requires paying very close attention, but all the main characters are interesting and likable, and the plot is well-developed and fairly unpredictable.  Our second favorite is Death In Paradise.  This one is comedy meets cop show.  It’s easy to follow and lighthearted, a bit more predictable than its Welsh cousin, but overall also a good watch.

My personal favorite drama these days is Bloodline.  I started watching it only because Friday Night LIghts is my favorite television show ever, with the possible exception of Inspector Lewis, and Kyle Chandler stars in both shows.  Bloodline started slow, but it built nicely, and if you enjoy a good drama, I recommend it.
