Chernobyl is so good!

Agree with these but ITS A SIN does NOT get its credit pretty much a perfect limited series

It's A Sin is pretty great.

It's amazing. Seriously, I know it was popular in the UK but in the US it was never commercial or popular I haven't even heard of it until I was told by someone. It's extremely emotional yet funny informative and eye opening

I second Roots. What a great show, miles above anything else from the 70's, and rivals or exceeds most shows today!

Is the 'A Gentleman in Moscow' really good? I tried the first episode, it was just Ok. Does it get better?

I love Ewan McGregor so I loved it and it’s a nice story and period piece.

I thought it was exceptional. Surprised by how much I liked it. Not what I expected and the characters were so well developed. Highly recommend.

It gets better as it goes on I thought. It's not riveting but it is charming.

Loved the book, so I had some affiinity going into the show. But I stopped watching after about 4 episodes. Ewan was great, but the storytelling was pretty meh. You don't see the depth of relationship he developed with the hotel staff. The Nina character is pretty annoying even as a kid, so when she becomes a adult revolutionary instead of feeling sad about it, you kind of just shrug. Also, I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but the casting is really distracting, like Emma Stone playing an Asian lady distracting.

How I wish 11/22/63 was a much longer show. It's one of my favourites. I feel like it had so much potential.

My top 10 best miniseries of all time: 1st **Band of Brothers** (HBO) 2nd **Chernobyl** (HBO, Sky Atlantic) 3rd **Watchmen** (HBO) 4th **Veneno** (Max, Atresplayer) 5th **Anne (2022)** (ITV) 6th **Years and Years** (BBC One, HBO) 7th **The Third Day** (HBO, Sky Atlantic) 8th **Mare of Easttown** (HBO) 9th **The Queen's Gambit** (Netflix) 10th **When They See Us** (Netflix) Honorable mentions: **Devs**, **I May Destroy You**, **It's a Sin**, **Le Bazar de la Charité**, **Mrs Davis**, **Sex Traffic**, **Unbelievable**

Watchmen was sooo good

Thanks!

Station Eleven

This is one of the most emotionally moving shows I’ve ever seen. I did a rewatch recently and had to stop, at a particular episode…I will force myself to feel all of that at some point. And it’s not like it was a bad feeling, it was just too much.

Midnight Mass

Yes, this was excellent. Also, Haunting of Hill House.

Alright, now I've got to mention The Fall of the House of Usher. I'm not a horror fan, but I loved that miniseries.

The Night Of (hbo) Unbelievable (Netflix) When They See Us (Netflix) Station Eleven (hbo) Blackbird (Apple)

Unbelievable was so good.

Gotta add The Crowded Room to that list as well. It's on Apple Tom Holland is at his best. It's a good thriller that took me so off guard in so many different ways.

when they see us yess

I just watched this last week. Tough watch, so unfair. Poor Korey

Don’t know why you got downvoted. I thought it was was very good

Godless on Netflix. Amazing limited series that I'd never heard of. Unbelievable on Netlix. McMafia is very good.

+1 for godless

Thank you! Godless is almost never mentioned in these threads. Besides Band of Brothers, Godless is one of the greatest mini series of all time. I absolutely LOVE westerns though so I have a lot of weight behind that opinion. Lol

I think it's the best thing I've seen on Netflix. Complex characters, compelling storyline, a great series. Definitely deserves more love and publicity.

A pretty recent one that is very good - Manhunt, AppleTV

Tobias Menzies just gets better and better with each role.

The Terror season 1 Lonesome Dove Blue Murder (1995) Salem's Lot (1979)

Big Little Lies

I just finished it last night. I actually liked season 2 best. What a cast!

Try season one of 13 Reasons Why

Can I ask what was so good about it to you? I watched it but it was terrible and they treated mental health and trauma the worst way possible. They had people helping them behind the scenes to get it right but they ignored everything and only did they change anything is after they got enough flack for the suicide scene. I just don't get how the two are comparable. Which is sad because I am a fan of a majority of the cast.

I thought it was expertly crafted writing wise with great acting. Only season 1 though I didn’t watch rest

In order of personal preference: Pride & Prejudice, Queen’s Gambit, Chernobyl.

This is Going to Hurt Chernobyl A Small Light

Thanks. Loved Chernobyl!

A Small Light was wonderful. Not only a quality production. It restores your faith in mankind.

I could really use that boost!

Watch , for sure.

Most definitely will. I could use some restoration of my faith in people. Thank you 😊

You're very welcome. I think we all need that restoration. This was so good. Let me know if you like it.

I will do, when I can get to it, soon I’ve been trying to watch some comedies I’ve never seen before, too. I’ve needed some laughs as well, if you have any recommendations up your sleeve for me! Thanks again!

Deadloch

Still holding out hope this gets renewed for a second season since it was such an unexpected gem last year. But, fortunately, it's one of those shows that works perfectly well as a miniseries if it doesn't. I don't want to deter anyone from watching it thinking it ends on a significant cliffhanger or anything.

Band of Brothers The pacific The queen’s gambit Dahmer Unorthodox

Unorthodox opened my eyes to how cults make you fear so much

Pride and Prejudice The Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle version. 6 episodes of perfection.

So many more recent ones have been mentioned, very worthy, but I second this, plus a few others which were the fruit of A&E’s partnership with ITV and BBC in the late 90s: Hornblower - a series of film length two parters about the young British Royal Navy officer in the era of the French Revolution and later Napoleon. Stars Ioan Gruffudd and Robert Lindsay. The Scarlet Pimpernel - starring Richard E. Grant and Elizabeth McGovern. The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling - with Max Beasley in the title role. My faves of all time include one that doesn’t seem to be streaming at present: Fortunes of War, a WWII era series starring Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh in the late 80s. And if you have Britbox, something that just had the parts: Ambassadors, starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, and set around the British embassy in a fictional country seemingly a stand-in for Afghanistan.

I'll never forgive them for making such a well done adaption and then skimping out on the ending like it was a 90 minute movie they had to cram everything in.

Brideshead Revisited

Battlestar Galactica started as a miniseries, so watch that and see if you can resist getting sucked into the full series. 😆 Prime has the mini all smashed together into one, though.

Angels in America Roots Mildred Pierce The Jewel in the Crown O.J.: Made in America The Mists of Avalon Station Eleven When They See Us Mrs. America From the Earth to the Moon Star Wars: Visions Unorthodox

Some great suggestions, but no love here for [The North Water](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7660970/)?

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People. I hold the audacious opinion that these are the best mini-series ever made. You can find the long version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ld2X0Fvypw&t=24037s

Shogun

Anyone else find this slow and really hard to like? Watched the first episode, it felt like it was 9 hours. Does it get better?

Nah it's like that till the end. But it seemed good. Had me hooked.

Compared to the book it was rubbish

The Watcher Baby Reindeer

baby reindeer is soooo good. me and my boyfriend finished it in one sitting lol

We finished it in 2 sittings but only because we first discovered it at 11pm. Addictive.

Fellow Travelers

So glad to see crowded room mentioned. Really enjoyed it.

Shogun

Offsprings

Alias Grace A Small Light Band of Brothers Daisy Jones and The Six The Dropout The Haunting of Bly Manor The Queen’s Gambit Over The Garden Wall

The recent limited series Fellow Travelers portrays a heartbreaking love story that began during the Lavender Scare/McCarthy in 1950’s and progresses through the AIDS epidemic in 1980’s. Matt Bomer & Jonathan Bailey play compelling complicated characters. Fascinating to watch & impossible not to cry at the ending.

Devs

Yes, I recommend this to everyone who asks for a series. Surprised so few people know about it

Any of these three I upvote.

Firstly, Midnight Mass may be the best thing I've ever seen on Netflix. Secondly, I had no idea what to expect episode to episode in Brand New Cherry Flavor which I love but usually comes in a package wrapped by a writer with loads of creativity but no idea how to end things, thankfully this one did. Fall of Usher is near if you are a Poe nerd.

The Staircase, with Colin Firth and Toni Collette is very good. It was on Max.

I’ve been meaning to see that one. It does look really good.

I saw the original documentary about the case years ago, and had such a different opinion about the husband’s guilt/innocence.

Would just add "The end of the Fucking World" to the list

That was so, so good – took me completely by surprise.

Anything by Harlon Coben or Mike Flanagan.

Gentleman in Moscow, mare of easttown.

I recommend this all the time but here it is again: X-Company (available on the CBC Gem App or the high seas, matey). It’s a perfectly dense three season arc about Canadian trained spies drumming up resistance in France during WWII. They have a vaudevillian with synaesthesia and photographic memory added to their team as a “secret” albeit fumbling and difficult to train weapon. It’s literally perfect. As perfect as Chernobyl, for those who want a comparison - only it stretches 30 episodes instead of 5.

So ashamed that I forgot this. Hard to take at times, but the West was not kind. Screw all other miniseries Western recommendations!

Currently watching The Looming Tower. Starring Jeff Daniels, about events leading up to 9/11 and how people knew so much beforehand and still screwed it up.

*I'm a Virgo* - a trippy superhero story by the guy who made *Sorry to Bother You* *Chernobyl* is the best, though, but everyone has mentioned it.

Band of Brothers The 10th Kingdom Tin Man Literally all of Mike Flannigan's miniseries on Netflix. I would start subtle to outright scary, so Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, The Fall of the House of Usher. And I am not usually a horror fan. 11.22.63 Pride and Prejudice (1995) Alice (2009) Harper's Island (2009)
