Any recommendations? I have pretty much all of the streaming platforms.

I’m suffering with terrible period pain today and just need to hibernate

Want something that’s an easy watch but addictive, otherwise I’ll just roll over and go to sleep.

Loved Selling Sunset, Hills Revisited, Love is Blind etc.

Project Runway and Below Deck have filled my idle moments recently. Of the two Below Deck is the more addictive.

Detectorists - it's gentle and funny and just lovely.

TheNarwhalBalloon · 25/09/2021 11:47

The Circle. Such absorbing trash!

I think the originals are better than Mediterranean or sailing, start at the beginning.

Love Island USA is pretty good.

I started watching Alma’s Not Normal last night and it made me laugh. I also love Motherland for the dry sarcastic wit but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea!
Sorry to hear you’re feeling shitty, hope you pick up after a day of comfort telly and relaxing Flowers

Thanks all. Lots of great recs.

My period pain is excruciating. I’ve taken strong painkillers but they just make me drowsy so tbh I haven’t watched anything yet, just been sleeping. I often can’t sleep at night though during time of the month so I’ve plenty to browse / watch now

You guys are the best Cake

Some seasons of America's Next Top Model are on Prime now!!

It's my guilty pleasure. I've loved it for years.

Ooh is that the MLM scam one? I think I’d like that.

I am ashamed to admit I loved Below Deck too. Compelling but such trash! Grin

Iheartbaby · 25/09/2021 18:34

Real housewives of New York or Beverly Hills on Netflix

Yes definitely and a similar newer show called Making the Cut
CatsForLife · 25/09/2021 19:16

Married at First Sight UK (All4)

Noshowwithoutpunch · 25/09/2021 19:17

'Glow up' had me transfixed.

Mol1628 · 25/09/2021 19:19

Virgin river on Netflix. Trashy, easy watching and binge worthy.

DragonMamma · 25/09/2021 19:19

Another Below Deck fan.

My other guilty pleasure is The Block on Prime (start with the later series). I check back most days to see whether any further series have been added because I know they’ve been filmed Blush
