I have a single day home tomorrow to myself without DH or DC, 39 weeks pregnant and having c section on Wednesday. I intend to do nothing but watch movies and eat all the food (before I have to fast 😔) I need GUARANTEED switch-off time. No special genre, just not subtitled as I will fall asleep 😂

Chernobyl. Four hour long episodes

SillyUnMurphy · 06/01/2020 10:46

Sorry there should have been a comma between four and hour Grin

Was gonna say chernobyl also

vikkimoog · 06/01/2020 10:49

Waco 6 x 45 minutes. as good as Chernobyl

user1494055864 · 06/01/2020 10:50

Chernobyl is a bit depressing!
The mist was really good. I binge watched that in 2 days.
The I land was also good.

I just finished Le Bazar de la Charité which is a French Netflix original. I know it is on U.K. Netflix but my SIL (lives in U.K.) said it is called Bonfire of Destiny with English subtitles.
It is a miniseries and I enjoyed it very much. After a devastating fire in 1897 Paris, three women see their destinies turned upside down by forbidden love, identity theft, betrayal and emancipation.
Here is a link to the trailer

We just finished Bonfire of Destiny and also the Witcher. Now watching The Haunting of Hill House.

CakeandCustard28 · 06/01/2020 11:11

Lost in space on Netflix. Or the marvellous Mrs Maisel, amazing comedy and well worth the watch.

Tini17 · 06/01/2020 11:11

The Witcher was ok. And Cardinal Row.
I would line up things for post-section recovery too though OP.
Hope all goes well Wednesday :)

“You” on Netflix

unkindnessofravens · 06/01/2020 11:30

Upright, on Sky Box Sets. You won't regret it, it's amazing

SisterSistine · 06/01/2020 11:31

Have you seen Derry Girls? Season 1 is on Netflix and it is so funny. Season 2 might be on Channel 4 catch up.

Heismyopendoor · 06/01/2020 11:31

Virgin river only has one season out now and I enjoyed it. I think it’s only 8 episodes

QuentinWinters · 06/01/2020 11:31

Unbelievable on netflix

RuggerHug · 06/01/2020 11:32

Upright on Sky is amazing. Chernobyl too as said upthread but if you don't know what to expect it could be depressing. That said I watched Das Boot and Threads when I was overdue on DS so can't really comment on depressing viewing..

QuentinWinters · 06/01/2020 11:32

Oh and a simple favour which is a quirky but trashy film. I enjoyed it

Honeybee85 · 06/01/2020 11:33

Unbelievable
The Irishman
The Good Wife - has several seasons but most episodes are very individual

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 06/01/2020 11:34

Russian Doll
Unbelievable
Umbrella Academy

GiveHerHellFromUs · 06/01/2020 11:41

The Witcher is good. 8 episodes.

We've been watching The Mandalorian which is also very good (although not sure if it's on Netflix).

Alternatively, try Black Mirror. There are quite a few episodes but they don't really link into one another.

Or go old school and watch Sherlock.
The first series is 4 episodes about 90 minutes each (so a little over your time quota but good fun).

Living with yourself on Netflix
