Give me some good box sets to watch whilst I’m laid up

[sweetkitty]

I’ve broken my sternum and have to rest up and can’t do much.

What box sets should I watch? Already watched
Narcos
Line of Duty
House of Cards

Killing Eve
Informer
Luther
The series about the gettys on iplayer(can’t remember what it’s called but it’s really good)
Delicious

Also this is us

Big little lies
Viking’s

One season wonders 10 or so episodes long:

Netflix - House on haunted hill (loved this, but if you scare easily like me you'll need to watch through your fingers

Netflix: Dark - German mystery sci-fi where people dissappear in the woods and is a total mind fuck

Amazon - Trapped (isolated town in a Iceland gets snowed in with a murderer on the loose.)
Black Spot (a reviewer likened it to 'Twin Peak's strange French cousin' and I'd agree)

Luther
Cold Feet

Forgot to say that sounds terribly painful and wish you a speedy recovery - or at least till you get through all the box sets on here

I was going to suggest Cold Feet
Real Housewives of Cheshire because it’s so bad it’s good!

Life in pieces
Scandal
Madam Secretary
Gilmore Girls

Criminal minds
9-1-1
Blue Bloods
Billions
Big Little Lies
This is Us
Breaking Bad
Better call Saul
Ozark
Grace & Frankie
House of Cards
Stranger Things
The Crown
The Good Wife
Catastrophe

The Kominsky Method.. funny,dark and moving. Loved it.

Black mirror on Netflix

I just watched the whole season (7episodes) of Big little lies yesterday, how did I miss this when it was first on

Scandal, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Luther, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, How to Get Away with Murder

No idea what sort of thing you like!
Try: Luther
Homeland
Strikeback
Forgotten
The Wire (I had to put subtitles on)
Hope you manage to get comfortable. How did you do it? My friend broke her sternum falling onto the corner of her chest of drawers, ouch! X

Tom Clamcey’s Jack Ryan on Amazon prime. Really good plot with lots of unexpected twists.

The Kominsky Method (really wish there was a 2nd series! Made us cry but also really charming)

Kidding (Jim Carrey - don't usually like him, but this was great, moving, funny, dark)

Currently binging Mad Men - wasn't sure to start with, but its grown on me and I'm somehow 7 seasons in!

Crazy Ex Girlfriend - first 2 series were hilarious, went a bit weird after that, but still worth a watch for series 1 alone.

OMG - This is Us - yes.

Ozark again, first season was brilliant. Second also good.

Big Little Lies, amazing cast of awesome female actors. Season 2 coming soon.

I’ve watched 6 episodes of Man Men today!

I’m not getting it, I know what it’s about but there’s no real
story to follow, will persevere

Yeah, I think it's more character development than story tbh - I started watching it once before and all the smoking pissed me off and I just didn't get it! But when I watched it again the second time I'm pretty sure I was hooked by ep 6 so maybe it just isn't for you?

Definitely try a couple of the shorter ones - The Kominsky Method and Kidding, were both one series each, both dark and sad in ways but funny and quirky too.

How are you feeling?

Outlander
Haunting of Hill House
Vikings
Last kingdom
Jack Ryan
Game of thrones

Did you watch the first six episodes from the first series? If so, you should have picked up on the narrative arc that traces across the whole of Mad Men regarding Don's identity. It's one of the most skillful examples of story telling you'll see as it is so far reaching and so cleverly designed and developed across the decades the series cover.
However, I agree that Mad Men doesn't often give instant gratification although there are plenty of turns that will shock you to the core. And the realisation of how much things have changed in just a few decades I find fascinating, like the pregnant women chain smoking.
Hope you start to enjoy it!

The Last Kingdom
Vikings
The White Queen

Sons of anarchy

I’m enjoying Power on Netflix.
