Sorry, another TV one - what would be a good lockdown watch?

[OrangeBananaFish]

So last March I discovered This Is Us on Amazon Prime which I loved. I am now looking for something similar to keep me amused over the evenings when I would usually be at running club or bootcamp.

I am ideally wanting something that's had a few seasons (4-5 ish possibly) and really easy to watch.

My favourites in the past are:

Revenge
This Is Us
Pretty Little Liars
Gossip Girl
Emily in Paris
Jane The Virgin
Heartland
Chesopeke (sp?) Shores

So something that's not too thinky. I did try to watch Friends from the beginning, but the laughter (canned or audience) just annoyed me so preferably without that.

I have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky boxsets so a few platforms there.

Eutopia

Based on you liking Jane the virgin I recommend Crazy ex girlfriend. Lots of series so should last you all of Lockdown!

Oh and Gilmore Girls is fab but it’s not 90s. Started in 2000 and ran for 7 years. That’s one to get into from the beginning.

Yes Utopia and Crazy Ex Girlfriend

Crazy Ex is massively underrated

Good suggestions...

I did know that season 5 of This is us was on, but waiting for the whole season as I prefer to binge watch.

Still lots more to check out. Thank you everyone

If you haven’t already seen it, the US Office and Parks & Recreation.

The US Office first episode is crap - a remake of the British pilot basically. The rest of S1 (only 6 episodes) is better, but from the start of S2 it’s fantastic.

30 Rock is one of my other favourite comedies, I think it’s on All4.

And even though it’s not an easy watch, I have to to recommend The Shield on every TV recommendation thread because it’s so brilliant. Pretty sure it’s still on All4.

Just coming in to say Crazy Ex Girlfried. Give yourself a couple of episodes to get into it though. It's fantastic.

We also loved The Good Place and Parks and Recreation.

If you don’t mind subtitles do watch “Call my Agent” on Netflix. Three seasons, all quality.

Might make you want to start smoking though

I’ll second whoever said Brothers and Sisters (Rob Lowe 😍)
Scandal
Steel Magnolias
Greys Anatomy
Madam Secretary
9-1-1

Good summary of the US Office above - it's actually much sweeter and quite wry. Hugely likeable characters. Very funny.

Schitts Creek. All 6 series are on Netflix. Stick with it, it will be worth it.

Greenleaf. It is addictive!
The first episode isn't the best, but if you stick with it you'll soon be hooked! There are five seasons.

I loved Hart of Dixie too but not sure where you can watch it

Stranger things, 60 days in

How to Get Away with Murder is good, on Amazon I think.

Power is also good on Netflix and if BBC iplayer still has Pose available it’s superb.

Line of duty
Bloody brilliant
And I don’t like police dramas

Prison break..excellent

Schitts Creek, its absolutely fantastic
Special
Umbrella academy
Please like me

YY Hart of Dixie. Apart from the last episode which felt rushed I really really enjoyed that. I knew people would suggest things that I forgot about. Virgin River is very similar (even having the same guy playing a similar role - Can't remember who he is, but he was the doctor in Hart of Dixie that was Lemon and Magnolia's dad)

Oooh more suggestions. Thank you everyone

Harlots.

I've just binge watched all 3 seasons, loved it!

Yes!
