Off work for a week sick - tv / film / podcast recs please!

[forloves]

I've had a minor operation and can't leave home for a week. I can't do much other than a couple hours a day of pottering. Thought I might try to shred some paperwork, declutter a couple drawers, make a photobook and watch tv. I need your recommendations! Also, how would you spend the week if you were in my position?

I’m coming with my recommendation but also to steal your recommendations! I’m on long term sick and particularly interested in podcasts.
I think your plan for the week sounds great - if I were to achieve half that in a week I’d be happy! The only thing is can you get outside at all? Maybe sit outside every day with a cup of tea? Fresh air is always good for recovery and will stop you feeling cooped up.

I’d recommend ‘I’m not a monster’ - BBC podcasts. There are 2 series, the first follows an American woman who joined ISIS and the second Shamima Begum.

I love podcasts - what genre do you like?

True Crime

• the lady vanished
• foul play - my aunt and the hitman

Comedy

• off menu
• shagged married annoyed

I also love taskmaster and the taskmaster podcast once I have watched an episode

I would also have some puzzle books (sudoku, crosswords etc) and reading books if you enjoy them.

Which streaming services do you have?

Podcast Betwixt the sheets. Go on Global player-free. Hope u r better soon.

I love true crime! So any recs for true crime podcasts very welcome!

Partners in crime is great.

I also like parenting hell.

I'm just watching the Twelve on itv which is quite good.

I also just finished Hebburn on iPlayer

I've finished the Stephanie Slater podcast on BBC Sounds.

The Gold about John Palmer and the Brinks Mat robbery

And I like Red-handed podcast too.

Just started the Shamima Begun podcast also on BBC sounds

We’ve just watched witness number 3 on My5 which was a good 4 part series x

Thanks for the recs. I binged The Lady Vanishes today whilst decluttering my entire bedroom. Very productive day!

Diary of a CEO podcast.

I also enjoy Making the Cut podcast with Davina McCall and her boyfriend.

ITVX has a new series on, redemption it's called
The new season of Grace starts soon
Parole series is interesting if you haven't seen it

I’m sniggering my way through Not Going Out on iPlayer

I’ve only recently got into podcasts ( had iPods for Christmas ) so copying the recommendations

Workin Moms on Netflix. Pilot episode isn’t great but gets better!! Short episodes and the plot really develops as you get to know the characters

Teachers pet is a great podcast, listen to that then listen to the teachers trail.

I also loved the lady vanishes

Real killer is a good one, as is British Scandal

Also recommend......

Paper ghosts
The wonderland murders
Deep cover... never seen again
What happened to Daniel Morgan

All interesting!

Oh and

Fairy meadow
The Fake heiress

Are also good

True crime podcasts I like are:
RedHanded
All Killa no Filla
Crime Junkie
They walk among us

I was just coming on to recomend All Killa No Filla but I see @Hohofortherobbers has got there before me!

Unsolved mysteries is a great podcast

I'm enjoying Daisy Jones and The Six on Prime - the last 2 episodes are Friday so a nice end to the week. I loved the audio book and the tv series is a really good adaptation - with the added benefit of music!

I've been watching Poldark on netflix, it's really good, I think there's five seasons but only four on netflix, you can also watch all seasons on Prime, I'm on season 2, I'm hooked, well worth a watch

Dopesick on Disney + - with Michael Keaton. Based on the extraordinary story of how the Sackler company pushed opioids on poor States in the US. It's dark but brilliant.

The White Lotus Hotel on Amazon prime. Light hearted funny but clever 'who dunnit' - really well written. Two series of which the second is really brilliant (but you need to see series 1 to get series 2) with the amazing Jennifer Coolidge. Loved, loved, loved it. Fab locations - ultra rich people in posh hotels, multi-layered stories.

The Murdaugh Murders - Netflix true crime. And you can see the court footage on YouTube. It's quite unbelievable. Deep South family who owned the town linked to up to 5 deaths.

Alias Grace Netflix. Brilliant atmospheric historic drama with mystery and whodunnit.
