I have recently sustained a spine injury and am on bed rest for at least a week (probably much longer) need recommendations of what to watch, for context I've watched, and enjoyed walking dead, end of us, Emily in Paris, gunny and Georgia, prison break, virgin River, black mirror, greys, new amsterdam, most police dramas...! Have access to Netflix, prime and disney

Also, anyone that has been in the same position, how to keep myself occupied! I have a kindle so I am reading, I cant knit or crochet! But do enjoy crafting.

Have a great support system around me but will be alone for school hours!

Many thanks

Channel 4 now has all five series of Rake, which is an Australian, which is a bit of a hidden gem ( unless you're an Aussie and probably know it already). It's about a dysfunctional defence barrister, his cases and his life. It's funny, and dark and really moving at times too. It's really quite different to most TV, adult and complicated and slightly juvenile at the same time.

Oh will have a look, no not an aus, a brit.

Dept Q is brilliant (Netflix)
bit niche but the Fred and rose west thing is an interesting watch (Netflix)
Clarksons farm is actually a good watch and I’m not a hugh Jeremy Clarkson fan. (Prime)
The four seasons is an easy watch (Netflix)
scandal (Disney)
only murders in the building (Disney)

Dept Q on Netflix - you’ll binge in a few days.

Oh this a police drama?

Have just binged The Four Seasons. Highly recommend it.
Ted Lasso is fantastic, as is The Good Place.
Lianne Moriarty adaptations tend to be good - currently watching the Last Anniversary.
