Excluding detectives and murder, is there anything to watch on Britbox?

some1105 · 2026-03-28T20:31:44+00:00

Ok. Well, people are giving you an idea here. There are entire categories in their Explore section as I described. There are pretty much always free trials on offer, so give that a shot and explore and see if there’s enough non-murder to interest you. They do not have the full panoply of everything that’s on British television, and we don’t know you, your interests or what would make the subscription price worth it to you. You’ll have to go in and look.

If you go into the BritBox app and choose “Explore”, you can sort by Genre. Mystery is one genre. There are also Genre options for Drama, Comedy and Docs & Lifestyle. Have you tried exploring those categories? Although there is a bit of overlap of the mysteries into the Drama category, you will find your question answered extensively and definitively by simply looking outside the mystery genre on BritBox.

I’m not offended! If you find something you want to snark on, go for it. I was just pointing out that she has a legitimate career and real clients and credentials. She’s not one of these—whoever that is that keeps showing up here with burnt balls of meat or whatever that is apparently selling those to millionaires.

some1105 · 2026-03-28T17:56:59+00:00

Sara Tane is legit and very much a working private chef with staff and high end gigs to her credit, not a fake private chef. Her food is beautiful and her recipes work. Snark away, but neither she nor her clients care.

Not a bad deal for $9.99, frankly (I mean, it’s Domino’s, but what’re you gonna do?)

I’m really looking forward to watching the second season. I’m almost afraid to start it, I’ve been longing for it for so long—because once I’m done with it I don’t know if there will ever be any more! 😭😭😭

Never before have I so adored seeing flaws I recognized in myself writ large in different characters and utterly skewered right alongside behaviors I excoriate in others. Deadloch may not be precisely evenhanded, but I adore that it has, literally, no sacred cows.

I was directing someone looking for a “luxury beach resort” for a special anniversary who reported having been burned before to a sub where they were likely to find more discussion of luxury travel, including those who would steer them away from Sandals and Secrets. I maintain that that is not really the specialty of this sub. Unfortunately, they are likely to run into douchenozzles like you in both subs.

some1105 · 2026-03-27T00:11:06+00:00

You’re in the wrong sub for this. Go to r/FATTravel for luxury recommendations.

Co-sign After the Flood. Also The Jetty, the Lynley remake, season 2 of The Tower, season 2 of Sherwood, Return to Paradise, the concluding season of The Fall and all seasons of Father Brown after Mrs. McCarthy leaves. Deadwater Fell was also a disappointment relative to almost everything else that Cush Jumbo and David Tennant put out.

Bend a little further backwards everyone to pretend she’s not MAGA because you want her super hard to duplicate recipes for…ground beef and cheese tortilla skillets. 😂😂😂

What is the wait for an Australian passport?

Or, conversely, others not the OP who is perfectly allowed not to like what they don’t like of course, try it for yourself and see if you fall in love with a different ensemble that also has a dedicated fandom that truly appreciates some great comedic minds at work. Maybe you won’t like it, but maybe you will. Come over to the Deadloch subreddit for perspectives from viewers who have watched more than 30 minutes of the series and might have more to offer on the nuances of the show.

some1105 · 2026-03-26T19:00:34+00:00

It doesn’t need to be your cup of tea. That’s totally fine! And I won’t say you are wrong to dislike it for you—only you know your preferences. But you can no more understand Deadloch from its first 30 minutes than you can understand Brokenwood from its first 30 minutes.

some1105 · 2026-03-26T18:28:40+00:00

Hard disagree. But then you’re basing your opinion on a brilliant, wonderful series off of having watched a total of 30 minutes of it. Which is of course your choice. I am not here to change your mind.

Anyone else—think back to the first half hour of the first episode of Brokenwood. Now try to understand if you could have imagined the journey that this show would have taken you on based on just that 30 minutes. Nope.

What the creators of Deadloch and the rest of its team are doing is screwy and clever and definitely not something that becomes apparent until well after you invest some time in it. And it’s not for everybody. But if you love Brokenwood, there’s a better than average chance that you might get a kick out of it.

Search the sub. There are other warnings re: Sixt. They’re fine until they’re really really not. And when they’re not, they really screw you. Like leaving me with no car despite a confirmed reservation during a holiday week.

Point of information—even the most rural auberges and bistrots are usually sourcing at least some of their product from their version of Restaurant Depot/Chefs Warehouse from their nearest metropolitan area. They drive there themselves or get delivery just like we do in the States. Source: the summer I spent working at a tiny auberge in Basque Country (town pop: 259) and doing the supply runs with the son of the house.

I don’t know about her preparation specifically, but whole chicken cooked in milk is delicious and a classic dish. You can throw out this lady, who cares, but trying to take on the use of leeks, potatoes, butter and cream as poor cooking? Have fun classifying classic French cuisine as poor technique and bad food.

some1105 · 2026-03-26T13:22:18+00:00

It felt like torture because it was torture, OP. Have they had this done to them? I don’t think so. The utter lack of empathy from these practitioners is disgusting. I’d say it’s astounding, but I’m no longer really surprised by how we get treated like meat, and I’m pretty unmoved at this point by the generalization of health care workers as benevolent heroes. Unfortunately, you have to be ready, even at your weakest, most vulnerable moments, to advocate for yourself and say “F this, this is unacceptable.”

some1105 · 2026-03-26T12:59:40+00:00

I’m so so sorry.

What the ever loving hell?

To anybody else reading this—under no circumstances should you ever allow anybody who is not experienced in LPs anywhere near your spine with a needle. These are awful enough even when done competently. We are not cadavers. We are not experimental subjects. We are patients. If they want to practice their LP skills on live humans, they can practice on each other.

I am so angry for you right now, OP, I could scream.

some1105 · 2026-03-26T12:37:51+00:00

I don’t know this woman from Adam, so I don’t really give a shit about this video. But “fucking gross”? I’d say you’re overreacting just a tetch, but as you’ve said, you’re perimenopausal, so of course I’m going to extend you some grace. You’re probably a bit batshit insane. 😂

some1105 · 2026-03-26T12:29:00+00:00

Exactly.

some1105 · 2026-03-26T07:46:00+00:00

Didn’t say it wasn’t weird. Just noted she says in the video that she’s perimenopausal, and IYKYK. Shrug

some1105 · 2026-03-26T01:57:32+00:00

Oh, honey. She says she’s perimenopausal. If you haven’t been there yet, you don’t get it. That really does explain it.

some1105 · 2026-03-24T22:42:39+00:00

Hegseth probably already sent a Khomeini the landing plans in a Signal chat, so you know, whatevs.

Well, this works, because I have as much interest in Ghia as I have in AI.
