- I love Brooklyn 99 @Sarnicad! So very funny. Keep your eyes on the SBS channels as they repeat the earlier series quite often.
- @Sister @CarmelS. OMG Derry girls is hysterical particularly if you’ve grown up Irish catholic.
The holiday house we stayed in recently had Netflix and I binge watched a few series.
IT crowd early episodes
started Brooklyn 99
arrested development (that was more hubby but I do find it funny - particularly the Mexican wall episodes)
monty python movies - life of Brian and the meaning of life
hubby is a tight arse so won’t get on subscribing but I’m pretty happy that Brooklyn 99 is coming to sbs very soon so I will be able to continue my obsession with it shortly - Oh I forgot - The Bletchley Circle and Broadchurch
- Some movies and series that I have watched over the last 2 years when I've been post-op.
Lucifer (Netflix)
Most of the Marvel series - Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, etc
Gotham
Shetland
Victoria
The Crown
Grace and Frankie
The Good Place
The Sinner
The Ranch
Bad Moms 1 & 2
Love Actually
Thor
The Avengers
Wonder woman
Shawkshank Redemption
The Green Mile
The Handmaids Tale ( and read the book too)
Call the Midwife (series 7 is on BBCfirst - Foxtel)
Daddy's home 1 & 2
Jumanji
I had a lot of time sitting around - not being able to drive etc but I did read a lot of books as well. The Shetland series is much better in book form than TV (my husband is from the Shetlands). - The Wife - Glenn Close is amazeballs :#
- For anyone who likes the bizarre a series on Stan called The Circus which has been following politics in USA since 2016 - has been a real eye opener.4th series starts in 2 weeks .
- Ooh my goodness I just watched the last Derry girls this morning very funny, but also liked the last few minutes of “real life”.
Husband of mine watches things like Travellers, Touch, Designated Survivor & has just started on Limitless. He likes sci-fi & time travel stuff.
Carmel - I found an hilarious series on Netflix: Derry Girls. It might only suit some and the Irish accents can be hard to understand at times but good fun.
- Great suggestions. I watched lots of Great British Bake-off and Great Australian Bake-off. Have found The Crown on Netflix pleasant and slow. Also old episodes of Seinfeld.
