Gilmore girls I've watched it about a million times lol. If I'm in a binge mood that's what I put on x

FuckBrussel · 07/01/2019 16:08

@AlBeGa - another shamefaced Naked Attraction watcher here! There's something cringingly addictive about the whole thing.

And Jeremy Kyle. I know, shoot me now.

Currently addicted to YOU & Wanted on Netflix, loved Miss Maisel on Prime too. When I was on mat leave I was addicted to the Kardashians (of all damn things), also have been watching seven seconds on Netflix but it's very dark...not something you want to watch if you are feeling fed up. Kimmy Schmidt as well - it's awful but good

@Kookey

Yes to mobwifes, possibly the worst programme I have ever watched but I just love watching it. My dp had to leave the room when it's on!
TOWIE, I feel so ashamed!

MamaLovesMango · 07/01/2019 16:13

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures!

Made in Chelsea
Eastenders although I get fed up and can go weeks without watching.
Gilmore Girls is a comfort watch for me so naturally I love Mrs Maisel. Even DH loves Mrs Maisel.
Recently rewatched all of Downton Abbey - another comfort watch. As soon as the credits started rolling, it was like putting on a fluffy dressing gown.
Glee. Although I feel a little uncomfortable watching the early series these days....

MamaLovesMango · 07/01/2019 16:14

Oh I forgot! Queer eye!

Rarfy · 07/01/2019 16:14

Watched the first couple of series of breaking amish @JaneJeffer loved it.

I'm a hugggeee jersey shore fan and not even ashamed of that haha! Cabs r heeerreee.

OhFlipMama · 07/01/2019 16:23

Also LOVED Pretty Little Liars! I'm your age OP. I really quite like that horse drama too, British but I can't think of the name - clearly aimed at children really!

Sausagefingers9 · 07/01/2019 16:25

Also really embarrassingly enjoying YOU on Netflix.
Dan from gossip girl is so frigging annoying, I have no idea why I’m watching it.

DarlingNikita · 07/01/2019 16:26

Some of these aren't shaming at all. I openly watch and love Downton (RIP), Secret Life of the Holiday Resort and Queer Eye.

MyFamily, is that Monty D thing Big Dreams Small Spaces? He turns people's desolate back yards into lovely stylish gardens. I love it (and quite fancy Monty) but I fear it isn't coming back. It's been ages since there was a new series. Sad

I also loved his series Around the World in 80 Gardens.

And there's a thing on the BBC called Farmers' Country Showdown –they follow a different farming family every week as they prepare to take their cows/goats/sheepdogs/honey to a country show and compete for the winning rosette.

I'm only 44. I suspect these shows are not really aimed at my demographic Grin

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 16:31

@Rarfy "yeah buddy!" Grin

God I love Pauly D!

Wateringhole · 07/01/2019 16:34

I'm thirty-something, on maternity leave with my second child and currently rewatching 90210 Blush

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 07/01/2019 16:35

Vanderpump Rules.Addictive trash

April2020mom · 07/01/2019 16:35

The Good Place

MamaLovesMango · 07/01/2019 16:38

Empire. 100% absolute trash. Love it. Although sometimes I find it a bit much.
Nashville. 100% absolute trash but love it and could carry on watching it forever.

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 16:42

I watched the first episode of Lindsey Lohan's beach club last week. That's shaping up nicely to provide some car crash TV.

Yutes · 07/01/2019 16:44

Naked Attraction.

I know. I know. It’s vile. Blush

KaliforniaDreamz · 07/01/2019 16:46

Come Dine With Me

Highly underrated show

MrsJayy · 07/01/2019 16:47

Lindsay Lohan on telly you say @CarolDanvers where can i find this Grin I watched her first reality show a few years back she is a total loon

KaliforniaDreamz · 07/01/2019 16:48

You was a great book - is the show any good?

DarlingNikita · 07/01/2019 16:49

Mama, I LOVE Empire too! I don't think it's 100% trash –maybe about 70% trash? Grin Taraji P. Henson's performance as Cookie is a tour de force. I think a lot of the music is genuinely good too. And I love the clobber and the interiors.

MamaLovesMango · 07/01/2019 16:58

You’re right there @darlingnikita, the music to both Empire and Nashville is fantastic.

Mulberry72 · 07/01/2019 17:05

Vanderpump Rules
Housewives of Beverley Hills.

One of my siblings lives in LA and we’ve eaten at SUR and I loved it! I nearly fell off my chair when LVP walked in, she’s amazing!
