I'm having an operation tomorrow with a 2 week recovery. I'm going to be in bed for most of it, so I'm looking for suggestions on things I can watch.

I have SkyQ, Prine, Netflix and all the catch up channels. Open to anything, box sets, series, docs or films.

I've already seen
OITNB
After life
Workin' mums
13 reasons why
Ted Bundy tapes
Abducted in plain sight
Sex Education

Also any recommendations for books?

Thank you!

Books:
Fantasy/romance/mystery - Alanea Alder’s Bewitched and Bewildered series, J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Military romance - Susan Stoker’s Books, she has a few series based on different military teams
Comedy romance - Penny Reid’s Knitting in the city series and if you want to try an Irish comedy/drama L.A.Casey’s Slater Brothers books are great
If you like action/mystery without the romance, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher is fantastic.

Tv:
Making a murderer - documentary
Community - comedy series
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia- Dark comedy, not for everyone!

I hope your op goes to plan and you have a speedy recovery 💐

Definitely The Crown and Line of Duty, there’s a film called Edie on Netflix that’s brilliant.

Books - anything by Fiona Barton, especially The Suspect, Shadow Sister by Diane Chamberlain, anything by Susan Hill.

I find Alexander McCall Smith hilarious

Also like the dancing in this

Recently gave Friday Night Dinner another go after being totally unimpressed the first time and it's my new thing I'm recommending all over the place

Good luck with the op!

Power is amazing if you’re not offended by sex, drugs and violence.

The Last Kingdon is also fab.

It was on Sky, we don’t have any Sky Channels, some of it is/was on Amazon Prime, otherwise I get the DVDs - also from Amazon, very cheap. There’s about 55 episodes over 6 or 7 series.
