I'm in bed after an op - what shall I watch on telly?

[Growingboys]

I'm in bed for the week after a minor op - please can you recommend me good telly or films?

I have Netflix and Prime, not Sky.

Don't like fantasy. Am enjoying The Stranger and also howling with laughter at This Country. Also loved crime docs eg The Staircase.

Please tell me what you've loved recently!

I’m watching old films.

Yesterday was Three Coins in a Fountain (recorded from tv last week).

Perfect viewing.

Crazy Ex Girlfriend is the only possible answer to this question

New Amsterdam on Prime. Love it

The GoneShow on BB1 was good. Some episodes were better than others.

This Is Us, you won't need anything else. It's the best series I have ever seen. Totally enthralling.
The Affair, brilliant

If you haven't seen them already:

Line of Duty (I wish I could binge watch them again for the first time)
After Life
Happy Valley
Royle Family

Yes otterses! I am jealous of people who get to watch it for the first time! Still listen to the songs when I’m cleaning

OP, I think we have similar tastes. If you haven't yet watched This Is Us (as recommended by PP), do that!

@FaithInfinity

SAME! You've made me feel so much more normal.

I just started to watch Virgin river on Netflix and that is quite good.

Friends is on Netflix

Also Workin Moms is great

Agree with above PP's recommendation of This is us!

Loving CEG is like being part of a special club. Not everyone appreciates the magic but some of us will love it forever! I’m sad that it’s over but the ending was exactly what I thought it should be.

These are all AMAZING!

Thank you so much - shall begin on this list today!

I am so excited by these. Might have to fake a relapse soon can watch them all before I go back to work.

And thanks for the podcast rec too - will look it up!

Netflix
Umbrella academy
Special
Fargo (series and film)

Prime
The boys
Quantico

Line of Duty

Line of Duty
Unforgotten
Cheer
The Split
White House Farm
ER
Silent Witness (lots of series on iplayer)
Cold Feet

Brooklyn 99. Completely inaccurate on the NYPD, but incredibly funny. Andre Braugher does a brilliant turn as Captain Holt, the ultra civilised gay precinct commander: "look at me drinking Beaujolais from a Sauternes glass like an animal".

Santa Clarita diet ( bit gory, but funny) on netflix or sex education. Or Anne with an e.

The Split, series 1 and 2, all on iPlayer.

Amazon Prime - New Amsterdam

We just started watching 'the stranger' on netflix

Also
Abducted in plain sight
Breaking bad
60 days inside
Power

Gomorrah

I'm in a similar situation as you OP and thank you for whoever recommended 'This is Us' I'm absolutely loving it!

Different genre to those (excellent) ones above but I love Million Dollar Listing: LA (ITVBe currently on ITV Hub).
