What Are You in the Mood to Watch?

I am not sure if these recommendations were already posted so apologies if they’re repeats: Heartland, Longmire, Schitt’s Creek, Shooter, Queen Sono, Family Reunion, and I’m Sorry, on Netflix; Bosch, Psych, Goliath, Expanse, and Victoria on Amazon Prime; Living Single, Single Parents, Fargo, Last Man Standing, Malcolm in the Middle, and Golden Girls on Hulu; and 800 Words on Acorn TV,

Brooklyn 99! We also never watched the Great British Baking Show and I’m so glad because we are watching it now. Honestly, I started a practice of not reading any news or social media after dinner and we watch a few eps of GGBS and it’s like it washes my brain with images of charming, everyday people baking in an English Garden. The stakes are only as high as the peaks of a scrummy meringue. It’s just what we need these days!

Late to comment but if you are like me you will come back to COJ for advice.
Epix has a great spy thriller, Berlin Station. The scenery is excellent and strong female roles (Ashley Judd). I also am into Sandition and James Town for period pieces. If I need to veg and watch something mindless it’s HGTV for me. Have you laughed yet… Shrill with Aidy Bryant and Pen13 is awesome and my 14 year old and I love Project Runway which just completed its 17th season. Going back and watching the older ones is fun too. I just heard that Christian Seriano a previous winner and now the show mentor just converted his fashion production line to making surgical masks for NYC!!

Always Be My Maybe! (Netflix)
The Office
Catastrophe (Amazon)
I’m sorry (Netflix)
Friends from college (Netflix)

I just want to laugh these days too.

Travel shows. Food shows. When you don’t leave your home, and you have to cook for yourself – suddenly you picture yourself as a world traveler eating something deeply exotic. Its much more romantic than a woman – in leggings – on the same couch – again – eating meatball based comfort foods – again.

Currently watching Scott & Bailey on Netflix. It’s a British police show, and the main characters are 3 (THREE!) women OVER the age of 35, like it’s no big deal.
I love British crime shows because there’s a lot less violence and sensationalism, less make-up and false hair, and more interesting characters and good dialogue. I finished Line of Duty and loved it.

Schitt’s Creek!
One tree hill.
Lady Bird, Booksmart, On the basis of sex, The man from uncle, Lost in translation, Call me by your name.

I recommend “This Way Up” especially if you like “Catastrophe” and “Fleabag.”

Gilmore Girls. Schitts Creek. Virgin River. Modern Family. Modern Love. Kids Baking Championship. Little Big Shots. The Happiness Project. Jeff Goldblum. Also, the new Little Women!
*Everyone in the family can watch almost all of these.

my 2 re-watch shows are The Office and E.R., I’m currently watching E.R. again, and its so nostalgic and comforting, the actors are complex and i love the energy and the charactures. <3

For me, hands down it MTM! (Mary Tyler Moore). Her 70’s show is now on Hulu-and yes, Rhoda does get a lot of the good lines, but the cast of characters just doesn’t get old for me. Did I mention the clothes? So fun to see what was “in fashion” back then. Totally groovy.

The colin firth “Pride and Prejudice”. All six hours of glorious period costumes and Colin Firth. And the realization that I thought Colin Firth was okay when I was a teenager, but Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, striding in a tailed coat across the country side, is making me FEEL things as an adult and now I get it.

I really recommend Lovesick on Netflix.
It’s a rom-com with Jonny Flynn.
I also recommend Love is blind.
When I’m stressed or very depressed, I normally Outlander or Scandal.

Perfect timing! My husband and I were just trying to find something funny to watch last night as a bit of relief at the end of what feel like heavy days right now, and we were struggling to find something we’d both enjoy. These suggestions are so helpful. Grace & Frankie is also light, entertaining, and short eps!

My husband and I have been really in to Sex Education on Netflix lately!

Love island!!! The perfect trashy reality show to take your mind off everything.

Call my agent on Netflix! It’s french, have all the movie stars play themselves (e.g. Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau), and funny stories about the movie business.

Also watching a Chinese show Joy of life on YouTube. Really cute and funny. I’m amazed at all the free Chinese TV drama on YouTube that have English subtitles. I get to catch up on a show my friends back in China raved about and my boyfriend get to watch and learn Chinese, haha.

We just started Feel Good last night–it’s great so far!

My husband and I just started watching Dave (about rapper Lil Dicky) on Hulu and it is both hilarious and painfully cringeworthy at the same time!!! New episodes come out every Thursday and there are four out so far – we blew through them in a night!

Also love Victoria (a masterpiece classic, but available on Prime) and for the most part it’s kid-appropriate. My nieces (8 and 5) watched the whole thing. Also provides endless dress-up and make-believe play ideas! My niece always asks for a Victoria hair style when she wants to feel fancy :)
