If you like British crime dramas (like I do) there’s a really good show on Peacock called Departure. Two six-episode seasons. I binged it this weekend while cleaning out my closet. Totally recommend. There are a few actors you’d probably know, like Christopher Plummer and Claire Forlani. The main character is an actress I know from another show but she’s not too well known, Archie Panjabi.
Anyway, if you just got premium and are looking for something other than Days, I liked this a lot.

Thank you for this thread. What a wonderful idea!
I recommend Wolf Like Me. It's a comedy/drama with 6 episodes so far. It has been renewed for a Season 2, coming next year I believe. The acting is wonderful. I don't want to spoil the plot, but the name is obviously a hint at part of the content. It's an incredibly unique show and there is a very wonderful love story at the heart of it.

Girls5eva is one of my faves. Before I caved and subscribed to Peacock, when I was catsitting for a friend I used her subscription to watch it. Knocked it out in about a day and a half. It's my kind of humor (I don't know if Tina Fey is a writer or just a producer on it but she's definitely involved) and the casting is great. I didn't think I could love Sara Bareilles more, and then I watched her in this scene from s1. Anyway, I definitely recommend. wendylou I haven't heard of that show but I loved Archie on The Good Wife! She was awesome on The Fall, too.  |

If you like classic TV, there are a lot of old shows on Peacock. I watched an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents the other night that starred Macdonald Carey and Peggy McCay!
I am also watching a Spanish drama about the search for a missing girl, ¿Dondé Está Elisa? I'm watching with English subtitles but there's an English dubbed version on the site too under the title Kidnapped at the Club.

One of my favorite-favorite sitcoms came to Peacock and you all have to check it out. It's called The Middle. It's super funny and never takes itself too seriously. It's just fun! Give it a look-see & let me know what you think |

Give it a look-see & let me know what you think  I love the Middle! I enjoyed it during its original run. Neil Flynn was also great on Scrubs as the Janitor. |

Peacock also carries “Greatest American Hero”. I watched it back in the day - 80s maybe. A high school teacher finds a costume which turns him into a bumbling super hero. Stars - William Katt, Robert Culp and Connie Selleca.

Anyone remember the original Quantum Leap with Scott Bakula? I loved that show and it's on Peacock. I just watched my favorite episode. It's called Catch a Falling Star and it's Season 2 Episode 10. They basically reenact Man of La Mancha as Sam leaps into an understudy role for Don Quixote. So good.

Kpatch are you excited about the new version of Quantum Leap? I think it premiers next week. I like the original and am interested to see the update.

Funny you should mention that, Kpatch, a friend of mine started showing me Quantum Leap a couple months ago, and we just recently watched the episode you’re talking about. It was awesome! I’m excited for the new season! |

There are a lot of movies on Peacock. We really like Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2 and Shrek. Breakfast Club is there too.
