Alone after break up - what to watch

lionobserving · 24/08/2024 15:51

In the very early stage of a break up, and DS is with ex this weekend. I've been non-stop and keeping busy, but this weekend I just want to mope.

Looking for a series or something I can really get stuck into.

Not into too much action, sci fi or period dramas. I like crime, mystery or even just easy watch trashy stuff - just anything to just really lose myself in for the weekend.

What's your best binge watch series to keep me company this weekend, please?!

Ted Lasso for comedy. Reacher for action/mystery/not too dumb dumb fun.

Whatever you choose make sure there's good snacks and a takeaway. Hope you're doing ok - I know how tough this is.

Kin on iplayer is brilliant!!

Barrenfieldoffucks · 24/08/2024 16:07

It Crowd
Schitts Creek

loropianalover · 24/08/2024 16:16

For trashy stuff, the first 2 seasons of Vanderpump Rules.

bevelino · 24/08/2024 16:24

Emily in Paris is an easy watch.

Mysa74 · 24/08/2024 16:25

Sorry to hear that oo...
I've you have Netflix I'd go for suits or Lucifer...

IceCreamWoes · 24/08/2024 16:30

Fosse/Verdon on Disney+ is brilliant. Michelle Williams is amazing in it. 5 stars! You'll cain it this weekend, is my bet.

Freefie · 24/08/2024 16:37

Sorry about the break up 😔

Shrinking on Apple TV is good for an easy watch.
You on Netflix for a long binge watch

Cas112 · 24/08/2024 17:32

Gilmore girls, the vampire diaries, greys anatomy. Bingey trashy guilty pleasure shows that you can lose yourself in but also an easy watch

alrightluv · 24/08/2024 17:34

I agree with Ted Lasso
The Detectorists
Ghosts

Shibr · 24/08/2024 17:35

Ted Lasso
Parks and Recreation

DysonSphere · 24/08/2024 17:38

I second Grey's Anatomy plenty, plenty seasons to binge.

Also Scandal is a quick draw in and you definitely can't take it seriously.

Ted Lasso is great too!

Bad Sisters - absolutely loved it

PureBoggin · 24/08/2024 18:47

Funny/Heart Warming/quirky:
Ted Lasso
Schitts Creek
The Change
Loudermilk
Shrinking

Thriller/Mystery:
Cormoran Strike
Dexter
The Bridge
The Killing

PureBoggin · 24/08/2024 18:49

Oh and of course if you're into medical dramas then Greys Anatomy is classic (although gets weaker as the seasons go on), but New Amsterdam, and The Good Doctor are both good too. But none of them are as good as my absolute favourite of all time....

I agree. I almost gave up but mumsnetters got me to persevere. Same with ghosts.

butterbeansauce · 24/08/2024 18:55

Bosch is great if you like crime. Really good dialogue and performances.

Love Ted Lasso and Shrinking.

Tara336 · 24/08/2024 18:58

Sons of Anarchy (actually has some brilliant humour in it)
Emily in Paris
Yellowstone

Tara336 · 24/08/2024 18:59

Oh and Virgin River

So bad for my blood pressure! Shouting JUST DIE YOU BASTARD!!! at the screen every few minutes. Claes Bang was superbly revolting.

There's a second series out this autumn.

OP, did you watch Race Across The World this year? That's got loads of lovely stuff and nothing too taxing for a weary soul.

Enjoy snacks and telly and a wallow

stayathomer · 24/08/2024 19:00
