We watched it a couple of nights ago and enjoyed it, even the change of pace from our usual US cop dramas. Thanks for the recommendations. Keep 'em coming.....

Just watched the dig, very enjoyable. Just in case you didn't know, it's about the Sutton Hoo Anglo Saxon treasure find in 1939

Just watched two episodes of this, good storyline, only problem is, I had to put the sub titles on, thick Ulster accents.

I've just been recommended this one:
Available on TVOD March 9, 2021 - Starring Harvey Keitel And Malcolm McDowell

Based on actual events, “Blood On The Crown” presents the concealed account of how Maltese citizens fought for their independence against England in 1919. Immediately following the end of World War I, in a plea for their country’s independence, Maltese people from all different walks of life, united to lead an uprising against the British. The Army was sent to quell the riots. Blood flowed when unarmed protestors were brutally killed by the British army. Due to its cover up by the British government in the years following, the revolution is not documented and not widely known. The large number of casualties was an embarrassment to the British army. Over 115 Maltese citizens, mostly teenagers, were blamed for the violence and sentenced to life in jail. “Blood On The Crown” is Malta’s long-awaited triumph to share with the world how a small Mediterranean island took on the British Empire.

“Blood On The Crown” is produced and written by Jean-Pierre Magro (“Bulgarian Rhapsody”), produced by Pedja Miletic, Aaron Briffa and directed by Davide Ferrario (“After Midnight,” “We All Fall Down”). Roland Joffe and Shayne Putzlocher serve as Executive Producers.
