Movies or Netflix shows to pass the time.

I don't know about you guys but, I feel overwhelmed and love to destress with a movie or an engaging tv series.

I'm supposed to take it easy and would love some recommendations.

Seen anything good lately?

    I've been told to rest as much as possible and keep my feet up and am looking for something good to watch too. I'm re-watching Big Bang theory right now and the ultimate fighter but I still have 4+ weeks of this and could use some ideas too.

    The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix is fun. Master of None is new on Netflix and I've only seen a few episodes but was enjoying it. The earlier seasons of house of cards are good. I am always cycling through 30 Rock, the office and arrested development.

    Jane the Virgin! It's comically dramatic and deals with pregnancy, careers, love triangles, the works. It's excellent.

    Lurker from Feb 16 but I second Jane the Virgin. It's hilarious and totally relatable right now. The whole first season is on Netflix.

    I've gotten into The 100 and Arrow on Netflix. When my daughter is awake she asks for "the cat show" which is the kids movie Going Home with an alien and a little girl (and her cat). Otherwise I may rewatch How I met your mother, just not the last season :)

    I have been wanting to start a thread for movies and my app won't let me! Glad somebody did!
    As for movies, I've mostly been watching kids' movies. But when I was pregnant with my son, I watched Dirty Dancing, literally every day.
    For shows, I've never had Netflix or Hulu, so excuse my lack of knowledge, but I an completely hooked on:
    How to Get Away With Murder
    Blindspot
    Code Black

    I'm really into The Great British Baking Show, it's drama free and just fun to watch. There's one season on Netflix right now.

    I second "Reign." It's totally a "teen" show, but it's set in medieval France. The story revolves around Mary Queen of Scots and Francis, King of France. It's SO cheesy and dramatic, but I'm a sucker for anything historical (despite the fact that basically NONE of the history is accurate). 
    I also second "How to Get Away With Murder." It's about a group of law students who are studying criminal law and find themselves in the middle of a murder that they have to cover up. Not my typical show, but SO well done.
    I'm also into Spanish soap operas right now (don't ask why...couldn't tell you), and I LOVE Velvet. It's set in a 1950's department store in Spain. Lots of hunky Spanish dudes, and pretty costumes.
    Another show I'm obsessed with is "Orphan Black." I can't remember if it's on Hulu or Amazon Prime, but if you have either of those, check it out. The story starts with a woman, named Sarah, witnessing the suicide of another woman who looks like she could be her twin. She then gets pulled into the dead woman's world, and everything takes off from there. 
    Ooooh, and "Peaky Blinders." It's about a 1920's gang in Birmingham, England, and stars Cillian Murphy. It's wild and crazy, and SO good.
    I know I'm going overboard here, but I also love "Call the Midwife." It follows the story of a group of East London midwives in the 1950's. 
    Some of my other faves: Downton Abbey, Fixer Upper, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...this list could go on.

    The Great British Baking Show is super interesting, but mellow. It's on Netflix.
    If you can access Youtube on your BluRay/TV, all episodes of Designing Women and Punky Brewster are available.

    If you like campy, lighthearted mysteries, I recommend "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries." She's so sassy. And who doesn't like the Roaring 20's?

    Echoing a lot of PPs...also if you have Hulu:
    For fun I like to pick shows based on my hormones/feelings :)

    For general reality show binging:
    Project Runway
    America's Next Top Model
    If you want to feel empowered/sexy
    The Good Wife

    If you're feeling sappy/lovey/excited about family:
    Gilmore Girls
    Parenthood


    And if you have great taste and maybe are feeling a little ragey .. Fargo. Especially if you liked Breaking Bad. It's entertaining, funny, dark, violent, everything.

    I second the how to get away with murder. The first season is on netflix and the second is in progress on Hulu. Also Quantico on Hulu is good. I've just starting watching all of the seasons of entourage on amazon prime. I'm on the third season and love it.

    How has no one mentioned Downton Abbey or Orange is the New Black yet????

    Downton Abbey was my lifesaver when I was recovering from jaw surgery. I love that show. The new season hits in January so if you're due later in the month you'll get to see it. :)

    I just watched season 1 and 2 of Downton Abbey this weekend. Clearly, I've been binge watching.  I highly recommend it!

    If you know how to find shows online (not Netflix or Hulu) then I would definitely recommend Desperate Housewives. I'm such a junkie for that show, but it was taken off Netflix several months ago. Community is also a good one to search online.

    But as for stuff on Netflix, I also agree that you should try American Horror Story, The Office, and Master of None.

    Man, Jericho was such a good show. I was so sad when it was cancelled.

    If you like SciFi, I love Doctor Who (I'm quite obsessed and have a quote from the show inside my wedding band). 

    I have to admit my guilty pleasure has been 16 and Pregnant. I don't usually do reality TV but this show is really entertaining to me for some reason. Though I do find myself becoming pretty irate with the teenage fathers.

    My mom is in her late 40s and enjoys 16 and pregnant/teen mom and even I have to admit it's strangely entertaining.

    Also, OP, watch Sons of Anarchy!!

    Also mine and my moms guilty pleasure. I could binge watch it for days! Sometimes it makes me feel a little better, like okay I have my life together better than these girls, it'll all be okay.

    I don't have Netflix, but a show I got hooked on was Playing House. And, we're obsessed with Modern Family.

    Thanks everyone!! I'm adding these to my queue!!

    Nice selection, some things for when feeling one way, others for when I can't take drama or whatever. Great work!

    I watched Twinsters the other day and really liked it for some reason.
