What shall I watch on mat leave?

[hopinghopefullyagain]

I've previously not been much of a TV person but the thought of hunkering down with a series / box set is appealing. In the past, I've enjoyed Corrie, Scott and Bailey, Broad church, Bad Girls. Happy to branch out a bit. Definitely don't want horror or anything that takes much concentration.
All suggestions greatly received.

When I had DD1 I watched all of Desperate Housewives. DD2 was The Good Wife.

I'm working my way through West Wing. Never seen it before and I don't know why! I'm loving it. First time round I watched ER.

Call the Midwife and (obviously) Endeavour, Morse and Lewis :D

If you have sky would thoroughly recommend scandal

Yes to Gilmore girls!!!!

Must watch The Jinx, The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, if you do feel like something serious, chilling and brilliant! Best documentary I have watched in years.

Pretty little liars if you want something a little trashy but something interesting at the same time!
Orange is the new black very funny but also quite heartbreaking at points!
How to get away with murder but it's a series you do need to concentrate on as otherwise it'll be confusing

Quite old now but Skins I recently became obsessed again,a very good series

Breaking Bad
Dexter
Orange is the New Black

Probably watch these early on in maternity leave when child will be asleep most of the time/not notice or, if later, do it when child naps as they are quite violent/bad language etc. Highly recommend, they are soooo good!

House, medical, comedy.
Bones, crime/mystery, with lots of funny bits.
Grey's Anatomy, medical romance/drama.
Orange is the New Black, comedy, prison drama.
Prison Break, drama, thriller.
Game of Thrones, epic fantasy, fantastic story
Breaking Bad, chemist makes drugs to help with cancer bills.

Sci-fi/ Fantasy lovers:
Sanctuary, helping weird creatures to survive and hide them.
Firefly, short, fantastic characters.
Stargate: SG1, going to alien worlds to discover new places/people.
Stargate Atlantis, same as above.
Star Trek: Deep Space 9, what life would be like in space.
Charmed, about three witches fighting bad guys with their powers.
Orphan Black, about clones.

Murder, a bit more graphic:
Dexter, serial killer vigilante, a bit bloody.
Hannibal, serial killer mystery, sometimes a little bit graphic.
Walking Dead, zombie apocalypse, with good characters.

I have a whole list of things I want to sit and binge watch when I finally get pregnant.

Prisoner Cell Block H (almost finished this, about 100 episodes to go!)
Tenko
Birds of a Feather
On the Buses
Last man on Earth
The Watching
Big Bang Theory
Lucky Fella
Red Dwarf
Absolutely Fabulous
American Horror Story
Peep Show

I have loads!

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions. Off to make a list. Not sure I have time for a baby - too much TV to watch 😁

Love all the medical shows, especially House, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Bodies. Just bought Cardiac Arrest to rewatch.
Also like crime dramas - love Morse, & Lewis. Spooks. Breaking Bad. Life on Mars.
Love a good comedy -Allo Allo, Vicar of Dibley, Royle Family, Jeeves & Wooster.
At a loose end, we found something called Mad Dogs (British cast) - a few gory bits but it was really funny.

Wentworth - amazing! Full of OMG moments
Greys Anatomy
Breaking bad

I watched all of downton abbey on this mat leave as tamer with a 3 year old around! Unlike when I was in mat leave with him and watched all of breaking bad!

Friday Night Lights. Don't let the American Football theme put you off. It's really about people and is wonderful.

I watched 'Lie To Me' twice I enjoyed it that much and 'The Walking Dead.' Can highly recommend both

Also, congratulations!

Whitechapel

I have loved
Desperate housewives
Prison break
Revenge
Greys anatomy
Wentworth

Outlander.
Can't be beaten.

Well, perhaps Once Upon a Time equals it and Sanctuary is good too but the amount of green screen in Sanctuary annoyed me a bit.

Doc Martin, greys anatomy, Sherlock and Whitechapel are all well worth a watch!

The Good Wife (9 Series)
Elementary
Sherlock
Downton Abbey

OITNB, Good Wife, Mad Men and my recent fave Don't Trust the B* in apartment 23 . I like strong women.

For crime dramas: The Missing, Luther, Sherlock, Happy Valley, Breaking Bad

For more light hearted stuff: Jonathan Creek, Sex And The City, Father Ted, Peep Show, One Foot In The Grave

I watched Buffy start to finish - awesome!
