Great TV Series

I have watched these as they ran on cable. They are good, but... I get frustrated at how many times they have this whole "draining away" segment. It's like a dozen times per episode. Everyone knows that they are not physically doing this, so why keep harping on about it? Do it once at the beginning, to justify the series title, then just accept that this is done by remote imaging...

Since I've watched everything on Netflix and Prime, I had to look elsewhere, and I found National Geographic through Disney+. I've been watching the series "Drain the Oceans." That ran for two seasons, and then they have other "Drain" series.

If you don't have Britbox & Acorn then you haven't seen them all Jerry....great series on those outlets, drama, travel, scientific, etc.

Jerry, speaking about the drain series, I've been watching "Drain the Putt" on the Golf Channel.
How about “DRAIN-in-Spain?”....RJM

You mean you watched all 23 seasons of "Silent Witness?"
Have you checked out Britbox? Lots of good British mysteries there, more Vera, more Morse, more Silent Witness, etc. And no subplots about deadbeat brothers, angst filled teenage children, drug addict sisters, alcoholic fathers, and/or convicted felon mothers! Hooray!
Whenever a series introduces a person with "issues" that is a family member of one of the main characters, I figure the writers and producers have run out of ideas.

I remember a show about a fellow who had a uncle from there.
Didn't his neighbor on one side have a talking horse while the neighbor on the other side, right across from Mrs. Kravitz, was a cute woman who twitched her nose from time to time?

Simple! They just "pull the plug," and down it goes. 
That might work to put out the volcanos.

I recently added Britbox to my Prime tv, and I am splurging... Almost finished Vera - although there are 2 seasons which are only on Acorn... Up to series 3 of Silent Witness... Other good ones on there are "Inspector Frost", Taggart (although you may have problems with the Glasgow accents!), Unforgotten, and a whole bunch more. A real good one is "Our Girl", although I am not sure if that is Britbox or just Prime itself. About a young girl who joins the army as a medic. With one or two small exceptions, the military stuff is done correctly - they wear the uniforms properly, stuff like that.

I grew up in Mars.Graduated from Mars schools so we don't need things sent to Mars. We have always been self sufficient.

Sorry, the above should read "A Touch of Frost", and not Inspector Frost...
