We love sharing a round-up of our favourite tv programmes each month. It’s rubbish when you can’t find something good to watch isn’t it!? Hopefully, you will get some ideas from our list, whether it is on Netflix, Sky or Prime Video, I’m sure there will be something worth a watch!
The Handmaid’s Tale
Love this! I have been pretty much hooked on this series right from the first episode. I didn’t think much was going on the start of season 3 and was a little disappointed, but things are really starting to get going now over the course of the last couple of episodes.
Chernobyl
This miniseries is one of the best things I’ve watched in a long while. It shows the tragic disaster of Chernobyl from many perspectives. The workers are at the mercy of their boss who totally denies the severity of the explosion of reactor 4, putting them all at risk of certain death. It really does open your eyes as to what really happened and how it was dealt with. Very gripping but quite sad at the same time.
Bad Blood
We are about halfway through this series. I instantly recognised one of my favourite Sons of Anarchy actors in this (Kim Coates) and of course Anthony LaPaglia who you may have seen in Riviera. If you like your crime drama then you will most probably enjoy this mafia based series. I don’t really want to give too much away but there are a lot of twists in the story that I was definitely not expecting!
Movies We’ve Watched
The Meg
A bit of a fun modern version of Jaws I think, only with a much bigger predator! A group of scientists exploring Marianas Trench discover the Megladon. Jason Statham plays the main part, not that this amazingly fit actor influenced my decision to watch it………moving on!
Night School
I think Kevin Hart is bloody hilarious so I enjoy watching all of his movies. Kevin plays a guy called Teddy who didn’t do so well at school. As he gets older he gets in a situation where he needs a certain qualification for a job to keep up his rich appearance to his wealthy other half. This sees him going back to night school. Teddy discovers an old school acquaintance (that he bullied) is now the headteacher! And there are plenty more fun and frolics along the way!
This gave us a bit of a giggle as I knew it would.
What have you been watching?
I loved Chernobyl and I’m well and truly hooked on The Handmaid’s Tale.
Ahh! I love a bit of Jason Statham too. hehehe
Great selection – Chernobyl is one im looking forward to seeing
So glad I read this, I’d completely forgotten about Night School and its now on my list of things to watch when I get a moment when the kids aren’t using the TV!
Cherbobyl was one of the best programmes ever
Need to up my TV game, literally not seen any of those. Not enough time with the baby. Night School’s on my list though.
i’m also glad i stuck with season 3 of handmaids tale…….its getting good!!!
Love seeing what others are watching. I need to a) read and b) catch up with Handmaids Tale. Thought Chernobyl was one of the best/most harrowing thing that has been on for ages. We have been watching Catch 22 on Channel 4, and Year of the Rabbit with Matt Berry for some light relief. #MMBC
Comedies is what we seem to enjoy most. I suppose we need some endorphins, and they do say that laughter is the best medicine. Still Game :- Hilarious.
Some great ideas to add to my list to watch. It’s nice binge watching on netflix when getting into the series rather than having to wait a week 🙂
I saw “The Meg” and found it quite entertaining. I like Jason Statham too!
Not watched any of those! At the moment we’re watching game of thrones, love island, big little lies and stranger things!
I’ve heard so many good things about Chernobyl but I don’t know if I can bring myself to watch it! It sounds like you’ve had a great month of TV x
Sound like a lot of fun and some serious stuff too. #MMBC
I couldn’t bring myself to watch Handmaiden’s tale. I loved the book. Couldn’t put it down and read it through the night. I might do the same for the series. We’re behind everyone else and watching Lucifer at the moment. #MMBC
I have Chernobyl Diaries, a movie released a number of years ago now, and plan to watch that when I get the boxset of the new Chernobyl series
I absolutely love Chernobyl, I have had a fascination with significant events in history and this show really is interesting to watch! Kevin Hart cracks me up too but I haven’t got round to watching Night School yet!
Handmaid’s Tale season 3 is amazing, I didn’t think it could get better but it’s just as riveting!
Fun read 🙂
Chernobyl was AMAZING! I watched it over two days and just loved it. The cast were great and according to my friend who went there, it’s extremely accurate. I remembered it being on the news when I was about 6 and it was really interesting to find out exactly what happened all these years later.
Chernobyl has been amazing… such an important part of history, i agree it has been very gripping and interesting yet so emotional xx
I was just looking for some suggestions of shows to watch – Chernobyl sounds really interesting. I have watched some Handmaid’s Tale and yes, it’s great!!
Thanks for sharing Jayne.
