Our house is riddled with covid atm 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need something to binge. Just finished colony on Netflix. Saving the new handmaids tale until all eps are on.

Whats your recent binge worthy shows?

I’m binging This Way UP currently on channel 4. I loved Motherland too.

PoptartPoptart · 16/07/2021 15:02

Outlander on Amazon Prime.
I cannot recommend it enough.

Schitts Creek
Outlander
The Good Doctor
30 Rock
Cable Girls (remember to put on the English language options as it’s in Spanish)

AgathaX · 16/07/2021 15:13

Keeping Faith
Line of Duty (so good it's mentioned lots Grin)

Rosebud21 · 16/07/2021 15:18

One week trial of NowTV, Mare of Easttown & The Affair

AlwaysaLittleBitTired · 16/07/2021 15:20

For properly lightweight entertainment, I binged The Bold Type. It's probably aimed at people 25 years younger than I, but I loved it Grin

Another big vote for Working Mom's here too - it's almost like The Bold Type all grown up.
Grace and Frankie and The Good Place too, if you haven't already seen them.

Throughabushbackwards · 16/07/2021 15:21

Watch The Leftovers, stick with it through to seasons 2 and 3 though as the first season is kind of dark.

AlwaysaLittleBitTired · 16/07/2021 15:22

Sorry for my misplaced apostrophe Blush

ASpoolofBlueThread · 16/07/2021 15:23

I started watching working moms (whilst doing ironing Halo) today too!

NashvilleQueen · 16/07/2021 15:23

Have you seen Shtisel? It's quite slow paced but I loved it.

Crowsaregreat · 16/07/2021 15:24

I loved Call My Agent on Netflix. It's in French so unless you're bilingual you have to watch the subtitles, which is actually quite relaxing as it stops you fiddling with your phone etc. It's very funny and makes you feel like a glamorous Parisian.

@NashvilleQueen

Have you seen Shtisel? It's quite slow paced but I loved it.
I also second Shtisel!
Pebbledashery · 16/07/2021 15:28

Orange is the new black! I'm binging on it at the moment! it's bloody great.

TanyaLoves · 16/07/2021 15:52

Dynasty, modern family and good girls are all worth binge watching!

msssm · 16/07/2021 16:02

Mare of Easttown was brilliant.
I loved Manifest and am going to start bingeing the second series tonight as just released!

ChequerBoard · 16/07/2021 16:57

Fort Salem - it follow a group of young women called up to join the witch army, commencing their training at Fort Salem. We all really enjoyed this in our house, can't wait for season 2 to come over to the UK.

It's on iPlayer.

ArabellaPilkington · 16/07/2021 16:59

Below Deck for trash
The West Wing which is old but has dated well
Only one season so far but Bloods is hilarious

My standout of the last few years tho is......

Succession

I've watched them all twice and could easily go a third. It's bloody brilliant

Bodgers · 16/07/2021 17:03

YES to pp Below Deck recommendation, it will get everyone eventually, such a good trash binge watch!

Ozark
Narcos
Better Call Saul
Motherland
I’ve just watched all of The Parisian Agency, french version of Selling Sunset
