What can I watch? (Bored on maternity leave)

[Penguinandminipenguin]

Still 3 1/2 weeks until EDD, and I'm boooored! Can anyone recommend any boxsets/baby programmes to watch to keep me entertained? :)

Laughing at the memory of being in the same position before my DS arrived, I ended up buying canvases from Hobbycraft and having a go at painting animals for the nursery just to pass the time! not what you asked for sorry

If you have Amazon prime I recommend Outlander.

Breaking Bad
Fargo
True Detective
The Following
Scandal

Just a few to keep you going haha I've been off since March and due on Wednesday so had a lot of time to kill!!

Suits. Loved the first three series!

Luther!

Again if you have amazon prime, I'm enjoying Turn. I didn't like outlander though.

american horror story
luther
greys anatomy
game of thrones
true detective
hannibal

i have watched all these but shall be lurking to see if anyone can inspire me into comitting to a new programme 33+1 and nothing is inspiring me to watch it

Netflix? Orange is the new black, breaking bad, buffy hangs head in shame

Blacklist is very good, nothing to do with babies though.

Luther
Orange is the new black
Shameless
Person of interest
True blood

I've wasted many an afternoon with these :)

Invest in netflix

Thanks everyone! Hopefully these suggestions will keep me occupied for a while :)

Halt and Catch Fire, free on Amazon Prime. Premise sounds quite dull but it's very good.

Hannibal is an epic show, if your into your mythical stuff penny dreadful is good and so is American horror story.

I'm not due to leave till start of December so I'm trying to hold out on all my boxsets till then.

Hope everything ends up going well for you :) x

I'm watching Hannibal now, it's very good but very very gory, which you might not be in the mood for .

Pushing Daisies is lovely, funny, quirky and sweet.

Sons of Anarchy! Jackson is sooooooooo hot!

Don't what the story is about though

So far on mat leave I've got through walking dead, breaking bad, prison break and bones (time to get back to work haha!)

Madam secretary on sky (twaddle but with a sassy female lead)
Spiral (gritty french drama - like the wire but with a female lead)
B/feeding -say yes to the dress (all I could cope with due to sleeplessness)

Modern Family
Broadchurch (1&2)

This film, if you need a break from gritty dramas.

Babies, Filmmaker Thomas Balmès criss-crosses the globe to observe and record the first two years in the lives of four infants and their families. Ponijao is the youngest of nine children and lives in a village in Namibia. Bayarjargal's family lives in Mongolia. Hattie is a San Francisco couple's first.....

These are the box sets with new series that I'm carefully saving until my mat leave starts in August:

• Blacklist
• House of Cards

In the meantime, I am re-watching all of House M.D., West Wing and Gilmore Girls and keeping up with Madame Secretary on Sky!

Can't wait for August! Enjoy!

Luther
Strike Back
Chicago Fire
The Last Ship (this is so bad its good)

Veep
House of Cards

Get a Netflix free trial and watch House of Cards.
