Something good to watch as DP is out.

[SummerHouse]

I would love an uplifting film or series like the Holiday, This is us, Call the midwife type thing. But everything on netflix is a bit rubbish film wise. DP is out two nights and I don't want to be channel hopping watching bits and bobs of rubbish. Any suggestions?

Have you seen A Star is Born? Can't say it's uplifting but it's a fantastic film.

Afterlife, the new Ricky Gervais series on Netflix. Watched it last weekend and loved it.

Definitely uplifting, meant to add.

not sure if its your cup of tea, but i really enjoyed a series called 'Great News' on netflix x

Grace and Frankie.

Dumplin on Netflix is meant to be good although I haven't watched it

makeawhish I think you have solved it. I have wanted to see that but forgot about it and it is exactly the sort of thing DP would NOT want to watch. Solved in the first post. It's a Mumsnet record. I love Mumsnet except when everyone is being mean

Afterlife is earmarked to watch with DP as we are short on things having watched Luther from the start in about a month.

Grace and Frankie I do like. I am behind a couple of series so will definitely have an episode of two.

I just started The Durrells today while painting the living room! I laughed out loud a lot which I didn’t expect.

Dumplin IS good yeah!

I like the looks of Great News @sleepismysuperpower1 it's on the list.
Thank you lovely Mnetters.

Just looked up Dumplin and it's right up my street.
The Durrell's is in @BendydickCuminsnatch
Someone with your username knows what's funny!

Just watched series 1 of Derry Girls and thought it was hilarious!

Isn't It Romantic is an easy watch!

One day at a time
Grace and frankie

Crazy Ex Girlfriend it's fantastic. Though a series rather than a film.

Was a bit late to start A Star is Born so just watched 2 episodes of the Durrell's. I loved it. Very funny and very uplifting. Just what I was after. Thank you all for these. I am going to watch all of your suggestions!

@SummerHouse I hope you get a chance to watch A Star is Born - I've seen it 3 times (when DP has been out) and I've sobbed all three times - quite cathartic actually!

We have just watched Turn Up Charlie with Idris Alba. What’s not to like?! Worth watching.

It was on Netflix.

@MakeAWhish I definitely will. Looking forward to DP going out again! I am pretty sure I will love it. It's right up my street. Just need to get those pesky kids in bed on time. Snacks and tissue at the ready.

Wonder is on Netflix! Absolutely brilliant and uplifting 😁

It's lovely! (for next time OP)
