I am home alone for a week!! Don’t know what to do with myself 😂

What series do you watch when you’re by yourself, that your OH wouldn’t be interested in? I would love some recommendations.

I've just finished Under The Bridge- true crime series in 8 parts. Would recommend and my OH wouldn't watch with me.

Thank you - however, I think my DH would like that 😁

Sorry, I should have been a bit more specific - no crime, murder, mystery etc, as we do watch stuff like that together! I’m thinking of something easy to watch that most men would dismiss as women’s crap 😂

We were liars on Prime. Blew my mind

Lol - my own husband hates the crime stuff I enjoy!

Have you seen The Rivals on Disney? Or Wednesday (Netflix)? Second series has just been released.

Yes I have seen Rivals, massive Jilly Cooper fan! And waiting for DH’s return to watch Wednesday 😂

Mix Tape on BBC iplayer. It's perfect to watch alone ☺️

GoodVibesHere · 07/08/2025 23:29

Virgin River on Netflix

Superstore - currently rewatching/bingeing, still good!
Sweet Magnolias
The Sandman (although my DH loves it and I’d have to wait for him)
A place in the Sun

Following, as I’m also sans DH (although just for tonight)

mrschocolatte · 08/08/2025 06:56

How about The Gilded Age or Buccaneers on Apple. The latter is all quite frothy nonsense but enjoyable nonetheless. I also quite liked Tell Me Lies on Disney. All three shows are guilty pleasures when DH is not around, but I do spend a lot of time shouting at the screen at some of the daft decisions people make on these shows. Adds to the fun!

Pashazade · 08/08/2025 08:04

Schmigadoon and Schmicago on Apple. 😁

springbabydays · 08/08/2025 09:41

The Crown, Downton Abbey, Handmaid's Tale, Dawsons Creek, the Beckham and Schwartzenegger documentaries were all things my DP chose to avoid.

Lovewine1975 · 08/08/2025 09:43

Joining this thread as my DH is away for the weekend as well! Looking for some good tv recs

Weatherwax · 08/08/2025 09:50

I loved Emily in Paris on Netflix. It was like reading a glossy travel magazine combined with a chick lit book. DH wouldn't tolerate it.

Member984815 · 08/08/2025 10:33

We were liars is quite good, I like to watch trash reality on my own. Secret life of Mormon wives , or a real housewives

Skissors · 08/08/2025 10:41

A Good Girls Guide to Murder
Nobody Wants This - a rom com
One Day
White Lotus - there are 3 seasons
Nyad - a film with Annette Beyning and Jodie Foster
Fleishman is in Trouble - fab
Ghosts

Ludwig - hed seen the ads and hadn't sounded at all interested but then he said he did want to watch it. So maybe not Ludwig.

DiscoBeat · 08/08/2025 10:58

Dexter
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
You

NewToThisOne · 09/08/2025 18:52

I’ve just binge watched Why Women Kill and really enjoyed it

burnoutbabe · 09/08/2025 19:36

I am in sane position so have picked we are liars.
sirens was on Netflix and is glitzy glossy women’s drama. Or the perfect couple one with Nicole Kidman.

AiryFairy1 · 10/08/2025 22:22

I’m enjoying We were Liars, thanks for the rec. Predictably, DH watched about 15 mins of ep 2, and stomped off to bed 😅

But the ads on Prime - I thought the whole of paid streaming platforms was to avoid ads 😤

Most streamers you have to pay extra to get rid, I pay £2.99 a month for this on Prime.
