As the title says really, any top TV or movie recommendations to get stuck into over our lockdown Christmas?

I'll start with:

  • Line of Duty
  • Prison Break
  • The Walking Dead
  • Dr Dolittle (New version)
  • 1917
  • Bad Moms

Gone fishing with Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer. Hilarious relaxing perfection

Bridgerton! Frothy, frock laden nonsense that has cheered me right up! Quite raunchy in places too!

Gilmore Girls.
Sweet Magnolias.

Money Heist on Netflix - the only thing both DH and I can agree is properly brilliant viewing!

Here’s some recommendations from The Guardian:

I second The Queen’s Gambit and Normal People bit am surprised the Italian drama didn’t get a mention (the Elena Ferrante one on Sky...) Looking forward to watching Unorthodox next...

My Brilliant Friend on Sky Atlantic (the Elena Ferrente drama...just gorgeous)

On Netflix
Alice in borderland - a Japanese show, friends find themselves in an “alternate” Tokyo where they have to play games or die!
Sweet Home - a Korean show where people are stuck in an apartment block and lots of people have turned into some very creative monsters.

Very belatedly watched Game of Thrones which we were utterly hooked on. Also loved Outlander and Chuck which was free on Prime but now annoyingly isn't.

Now watching Bridgerton which is utterly ridiculous but very enjoyable and Schitts Creek.
