To ask for bingeworthy TV recommendations

[LAgeDeRaisin]

Amazon Prime, Netflix, wherever. I need something to get us through the rest of winter because my work is depressing, my baby is exhausting, my cat won't leave me alone, and lockdown is forever.

The Gilmore Girls on Netflix. There are 153 episodes. I haven't many left. Great writing. So witty.

Bridgerton
Handmaids tale
Breaking bad
Better call Saul
Orange is the new black
The Fall
Line of duty
The Bodyguard
Hinterland
Unforgotten
Game of thrones again!

I’m going to start It’s a sin and it’s reminding me of UKs Queer as folk might rewatch that again!

Loads of great recommendations there- we also liked
Emily in Paris
The Umbrella Academy
Fresh Meat ( old but hilarious)

Lockdown 1 - I watched quite a lot of Spooks on iPlayer - OK except any episodes that focussed on germ warfare! I'd seen a few of the early series, but found them harder to follow in between missing episodes and more complex plots as the series moved on.

More recently I enjoyed a series called London Kills, also on iPlayer; it's a police drama, originally created for the US, so the intros are a bit of a love letter to London with the sights etc.

There are also some real gems on BBC sounds - recovering from covid, watching stuff was a bit of a challenge at times.

Ted Lasso - amazing.
Bridgerton - thoroughly entertaining
Locke & Key - Netflix
Discovery of Witches
Sex Education
Anne with an E
Ozark
Harlots
Schitt's Creek
Outlander

I watch too much tv...

Marcella, 3 seasons, ITV hub. I binged season 3 today. Yes, I am lazy moo.

Cobra Kai
Ozark
Battle star Galactica

Unbelievable. Just binged it over two days. It's a crime drama based on a true story.

It's a Sin is an excellent series!

How to get away with murder
Shadowhunters
A discovery of witches
Atypical
Virgin river
High Seas

Another recommendation for This is us, I binge watched the whole lot in a week and half

Is it just me or do you end up crying at every episode of This is Us? Do love it tho

@PurplePansy05

It's a Sin is an excellent series!

Heartbreaking

@Earlybird00

Is it just me or do you end up crying at every episode of This is Us? Do love it tho

Yes, every single episode. Watched the most recent one last night, that was tough! It's brilliant though. I also cry during every episode of After Life.

Lots of great recommendations there, but two bing sessions that stood out for me were:

• Unorthodox
• Unbelievable

Both based on true stores, each just a few episodes, very focused. I watch each series over 2 days. Couldn't stop!

Started This Is Us on the recommendation of this thread on Thursday. On episode 15 series one. Addicted

bling empire. plotless and fabulous. makes real housewives look like paupers

american version of the office. have just got into it. fabulous.

Unbelievable was heartbreaking but so worth watching. Needs a trigger warning (it's about rape)

Ditto When They See Us about the Central Park Five. (Fuck Trump with his full page ads)

For something girly, gritty and addictive try Big Little Lies (series 1&2- Sky Atlantic i think) or Little Fires Everywhere (Prime). Both with Reiss Witherspoon 👍 I loved both.

Also one your DP might enjoy more than you (mine did) is The Boys (Prime). I enjoyed it though.

Going to start This Is Us after reading all these recommendations 😊

Is it just me or do you end up crying at every episode of This is Us? Do love it tho

Yes, but then I cry a t anything, I think the next episode is in Tuesday, I can’t wait

All times favourites some new and some are quite old but you might still be able to find them:

Sharp Objects with Amy Adams who’s freakin’ awesome in it (think it was Sky Atlantic)
Damages with Glen Close
Succession (We watched it on Amazon I think)
Witnesses (French with subtitles but amazing, first series better than second)
Line of Duty on BBC
Love Life on with Anna Kendrick on BBC IPlayer
This is Us on Amazon - watch from beg, this 6th series isn’t as good
Normal People on IPlayer
The Crown on Netflix
The Sinner on Netflix series one is the best
Little Fires Everywhere with Reese Wetherspoon - Amazon I think
Night Manager on IPlayer

Started watching "this is us" today. Lying up in hospital. Thank you mumsnet

Snowpiercer on Netflix, it’s seriously good and binge worthy

It sounds crap, last remaining humans on a train as the world has frozen over. But on that train is the world, crime, passion, control, class warfare, it’s really addictive.

Its a sin is wonderful. channel 4/All4 to binge. 5 episodes
