wondered if it would be useful to others to have a list of recommended TV, this is just some ideas, based on what I have watched recently, if it’s popular, it could be added as a Sticky, keeping this post at the top, I have added the word ( Caution) to some titles where there is some violence, which may not be suitable for everyone. Maybe if anyone adds some, can use the post title to show the film or series name, will make it easier, with details in the post.
comments invited if this is something we want, thanks

Lately, I've been hooked on shows from Netflix and Amazon Prime. They have such a diverse range of genres and amazing original content. It's the perfect way to unwind after a long day. I'll definitely be checking out some of the suggestions you've shared here.
Also, just wanted to add something to the mix. Recently, I stumbled upon a helpful guide on how to watch fuboTV from any location, even if you're in Mexico! It's a cool way to access more shows and channels. Here's the link to the guide: https://onlinetvcast.com/guides/how-to-watch-fubotv-in-mexico. Thought it might be useful for fellow TV enthusiasts.
