Just realised that this week I have watched all the episodes of Dinnerladies again. Somehow I find it comforting and love watching Victoria Wood as Brenda with Julie Walters as her mum. It's not challenging and has a feel good message. Wondered whether anyone else has a go to tv or film series when you feel a bit low ?
i started watching holby city online with the drama channel a few years ago, i am now at the 2018 episodes, it is on every day on the tv channel so i let it build up then binge watch 4/5 hours in a row...sad i know but it helps with my depression.
I’m still trying to get through Mafia Dolls 60 episodes Season and the same for Season 2. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I just want to know the ending. Currently on episode 26 of the second Season
Call the Midwife for me….takes me straight back to the 50’s/60’s……. which weren’t ‘better’ times but were ‘gentler ‘times. And Doc Martin got the laugh the pompous man gives me!
Just remembered one of my all time favourites was Mr Selfridge which was just wonderful! I love anything with a fabulous plot, engaging characters, beautiful costumes and scenery. Google says it's free on ITV Hub so that's now on my list but only for one episode a night. That is my definition of binge watching.
I like Grantchester too, but only with James Norton. I'll watch almost anything that isn't scary or spooky. Love Lewis, Morse and Endeavor, in fact any detective series though I've seen just about everything. Pretty indiscriminate in my viewing habits, but mainly British series rather than US though I loved Instinct and The Mentallist. I'm not keen on Paltrow or self-satisfied women in general!
After all the recommendations I must try Virgin River. The only thing I’ve binge watched recently couldn’t be called comfort viewing but it is riveting and I would say definitely give it a go, it’s an eye opener into life in Russia both during the soviet era and afterwards, it’s called 1985-1999 Traumazone and is available on BBC IPlayer.
