Call The Midwife, UK series, set in the late fifties in London,low income area, bit special to me as I did mine in the early sixties and it was the same situation low income area in Yorkshire, it brought back so many vivid memories but aaprt form the personal aspect it is a thundering good series.
 

The 1971 series, "Elizabeth R" starring Glenda Jackson. We 've watched it a few times over the years and have always enjoyed it. My wife recently purchased the series "The 6 wives of Henry VIII" but we have yet to watch it. IMHO the various British series are much preferable to most of those produced here in the US.
 
My wife and I have gotten hooked on a new series on TNT called "Good Behavior" starring Michelle Dockery as Letty(for those that don't recognize the name, she played Lady Mary on Downton Abbey) and Juan Diego Botto as Javier (an Argentine-Spanish star). We've seen three episodes (who knew that one could write an effective script built around whether a stolen Tesla with two bodies in the trunk, will make it to a charging station before running out of power?) It's fun and the chemistry between Letty and Javier is electric. She's very good and so is he. Two very different personalities that accidently come together. Oh, and my wife thinks Javier is hot.....so there's that. Some adult scenes and language. Some sexual situations. Violence is limited (thus far at least).

Here's the premise:

Letty Dobesh (Dockery), a thief and con artist, is released from prison. She is faced with a restraining order of protection that restricts her ability to see her 10-year-old son, who is being raised by her mother, Estelle. She regularly sees her parole officer, Christian, who is exasperated by her attitude and actions. During a hotel room robbery Letty, hiding in the closet, overhears a hitman (Botto) being hired to kill a man's wife and sets out to prevent it, which puts her on a collision course with the killer to the point of involvement in subsequent "hits" and starting a relationship with him.[SUP][1]

Really like that show also. It's actually based on a book.
 

Another vote for "The Fall" on Netflix. We're into season 2 now and really enjoying this thriller with Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan. Good stuff. Very tense.
 
Butterfly, did you know there is a full length Doc Martin movie. I don't think it has ever been on TV over here, I could be wrong though. I have the series up to 6, then the movie which is called On the Edge,91 minutes Doc Martin is held hostage
