Child free evening - what to watch so I dont cry?

[OldLace]

I am a single parent to two kids with Autism.
Their Dad, my exH has taken them to his (allowed under Covid rules)
so I've a child free evening for the first time in about 3 years
(exH is a twat of the first order)

I feel really tearful (as I've been holding it together and it needs out)
but...

I've a glass of red, some pistachios, something nice in the oven
and the chance to watch something that will take my mind of things - but, rather pathetically I'm overwhelmed by the chance / choice
WHAT do I watch??? (never watch TV so no idea - I DO have Netflix)

Dumplin? Is cute and easy to watch

Or Marriage story is great but might make you cry - although instead I actually laughed out loud at some parts which reminded me of my exh!

Tiger King! You'll be hooked.

Enjoy your evening.

I love dinner ladies for something gentle. Or Friday Night Dinner to make me laugh.

I was about to say Friday Night Dinner.

Easy viewing and a silly giggle.

Enjoy your evening

‘The Nest’ on BBC iplayer is good

I really loved marriage story too. I second that

ooh, thanks, off to have a scoot round those

I like the sound of Marriage story?

if not, i guess it will be Fleabag and more wine :)

Last night I watched Phantom of the Opera on youtube. It's the recording of the show at the Albert Hall from a few years ago. I've never seen the show before and was blown away by the music. Enjoy!

Vicar of Dibley for me.

I second Dumplin for a great feel good film with a glass of wine!

Is Marriage Story on Netflix/Prime?

The nest is good. It’s 5 parts, you’ll get it on catch up.

Another vote for Marriage Story from me. It is good and definitely not something you can keep track of and properly appreciate with kids around. It’s on Netflix.

Lucifer

I mean, I'm pretty sure it made me cry in places but if you start at the beginning you'll be nowhere near that point by the time the kids get back

Thanks, @Midnightmusing — I missed it in the cinema, and didn’t realise it was on Netflix.

So what did you choose?

Marriage Story made me cry...

I’m kind of at a loss as to why PP are recommending Marriage Story. It’s not exactly feel good!

Tiger King all the way
