I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.
Fans of the series will probably be aware of it already but in case there are any who aren't, the final series of Engrenages (Spiral), starts on BBC4 tomorrow evening.
Recently started watching Series 1(2005) of Spiral on iPlayer and have 8 series to plough through to get to 2020 😀 Really enjoying it, very gritty and gruesome at times and apparently it gets better.
Some great recommendations on this thread, we really are spoilt for choice right now. Kingdom (South Korean Zombies) and How to get away with murder (US Drama series) are next on my list.
I finally got round to watching Des yesterday. David Tennant is remarkably good in it, and the look of it is spot on, but I found the detective dull and was surprised there wasn't more attention given to the families of the victims, though they may have held back from the investigation for their own reasons.
Nearly finished Industry which has a bit of a modern day This Life vibe. Enjoyable and making me feel nostalgic for nights out while working in central London.
Now moving on to Animal Kingdom on Amazon (few episodes in and good so far) and Your Honor (only seen the first episode but wow!) which is a new crime series starring Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad).
Marcella is back on ITV in a few weeks (think it's 26th January), full series will be available on the ITV Hub that day if you can't wait. i got to see it through work and Is pretty good, she goes under cover in an Irish crime family

It's here in Oz at the moment and is dreadful. I liked the other series. Lupin is very good. On Netflix here.
I'm late to the party, but I don't think it's been mentioned before
Staged on BBC David Tennant & Michael Sheen rehearsing for a play filmed during lockdown, as if on a zoom call. Only four episodes in, but two actors at the top of their game. Great cameo by Samuel Jackson. Very very clever
Finished off Vikings this weekend. Sad times now it's finished. Also polished off the rest of Tehran. Excellent stuff, looking forward to the next series.

yes also finished off Vikings
Kingdom worth a go on Netflix if your into historical Korean Zombie epics.
Spiral - I've watched the previous 7 series, and I'm 1/2 way through the final series, so I obviously enjoy it, but I have to say that there is always at least one completely implausible event that takes place (often involving Gilou) that is completely and utterly daft, out of character or just wouldn't happen in a million years.
Fantastic to see JP getting half-a-dozen lines in the final series. He normally just stands around in the background, and pops up on a scooter or motorbike towards the end of the final episode, where he says something like, "Okay" in response to an order. This time around, I feel his character has been allowed to develop and we really know him now. I bet my wife 50p that JP would have more than 5 lines in this series, so it's been a nice little earner too.

One entirely believable feature of the new series is that the children's home is a shabby old barracks, the cops are in a tin shed on a trading estate, and the lawyers have a gleaming new marble tower.
The new series isn't doing much for the French hotel industry.

But has it ever? I’ve always thought that Spiral was like the reverse of an advert for tourism to Paris.

I've been watching it too this lockdown following recommendations on here. It's win-win as I can kid myself it's educational too as I'm remembering some French from back in the day. Although i think I'm learning more swear words than actually revising the language of Proust. Putain.
