TV recs

[mirabelle]

For those up feeding in motn or under a sleepy baby during the day or just watching more tv in general a few suggestions from me on Netflix (I have not watched this much tv in a long time):

-I binged a show called “Stay Here” with Genevieve Gorder and it’s like a twist on home makeover... I could not stop watching. She renos properties all over the US. I finished the whole thing in one sitting and this can be watched with other littles running around
-Season 2 of Atypical is out, this show is about a family with a teenage son who is autistic.. I loved season 1 the writing is witty and relateable for me
-Season 2 of Ozark, loves season 1 because I have a girl crush on Laura Linney.

There’s a new show on NBC coming out called New Amsterdam, looks like maybe a modern version of ER.. hoping to get into this.

Does anyone have any show or movie recommendations or fall tv you are looking forward to?

Correction Atypical Season 2 does not come out until 9/7/18

Ozark for sure! It's filmed here and I've passed them a few times when they've been filming.

Orange is the new black

Seven Seconds

Everything Sucks

Girl Boss

The Let Down

Stranger Things (also filmed here)

Santa Clarita Diet

The Sinner

Black Mirror

Glow

Glitch

Between

End of the Fucking World

I'm also a sucker for all of the fun cooking shows

I can’t wait to catch up on Call the Midwife during leave.

Wonder when the crown and stranger things come out?

I think postpartum will NOT be a good time to watch the Handmaid’s Tale- fans, what say you?

That's cool about Ozark pixiepink24! I'm excited that season 2 for that has come out. We'll binge that soon.

getdownplease have you watched any of Handmaid's? If you've seen season 1 and know what the show can look like, then you might be ok. I managed Season 2 while pregnant. But then I've had to turn off episodes of Call the Midwife this pregnancy.

I’m loving these recs! During DD’s newborn phase I binged Mad Men, Downton Abbey, and Nashville. It was glorious. This go round I’m thinking The Crown, and maybe something medical that I’ve never seen all the way through like Grey’s, House, or ER.

I’m also a major sucker for all reality TV, especially shows like Survivor, Master Chef, Amazing Race, ANTM, Project Runway, etc. I love to download old seasons of these that I missed and binge them.

So excited for all the TV!

I've heard that they are actually waiting to release the new stranger things until next year....
They are still filming and have been filming for a while. I know that the practically run down mall next to my moms house is where they filmed Steve's job this season and I was just there last weekend and signs were still up.

I have a lot on my DVR I haven't had a chance to catch up on so I'll be watching the rest of the ER repeats I taped, Young Sheldon, and Seal Team (no idea if it was good but it stars David Boreanaz so I have to give it a shot!).

[pixiepink24]

We only have Netflix here so that's what I binge on. I remember before DD came, I watched the entire Series of Sons of Anarchy in its entirety. I really loved that show. I wish I had tv so I could watch the new Mayans Show on FX, though I'm sure it will eventually make its way to Netflix.

mirabelle I watched some of Stay Here last night since I don’t sleep very well through the night and enjoyed it. We often stay at rental properties when we travel now so it was fun to see some behind the scenes ways people set their homes up for rentals.

With DD I watched Gilmore Girls, Breaking Bad and a few movies while on maternity leave. I’m glad you guys are generating a list because the binge watching is real those first few weeks!

New season of Great British Baking Show just dropped on Netflix this morning! If you haven't seen it, it's a lovely show, I greatly enjoy how positive and kind everyone is. In the same vein, I also recommend the new Queer Eye and Nailed It as my other happy-place shows. Other positive reality type shows I love: Love Your Garden (british gardening expert designs and builds gorgeous gardens for people who need some beauty in their lives), Zumbo's Just Desserts (Australian bakers make crazy cool Willy Wonka type desserts), and Sugar Rush.

My last maternity leave, I watched an enormous number of X-Files episodes. Might have to do a rewatch of another favorite series this time around...

Nymeria we really liked Seal Team! David Boreanaz is a definitely bonus

Yes to all the baking shows!!! They really are so nice. I've binge watched all of those already. I need to save some for when this baby comes. Lol!

Great to hear!! The eye candy would have been worth it but even better that you enjoyed the show!!

Bumping this to say I just binge watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I'm obsessed. If you have access to Amazon Prime i highly recommend it.

Oh good, I’ll try that after I finish this last season of Call the Midwife! I tried Ozark today, then DH wanted me to wait for him to watch it. So I tried Maniac but it might be too weird and intense for me right now...
