The Great Binge Watch: I mean...Maternity Leave

Being home all day is rather lonely, so you can assume the TV is on most of the day. This isn't my first rodeo with intense binge watching. We did go through quarantine, then I had a COVID baby and now here we are again. Honestly, over the last year any time someone told me to watch a show or a new season of something I watch without Phil came out, I put it on a list in my phone and saved it...exactly for this time.

This post serves needs of everyone (not just new moms) because we all are here for a good binge watch from time to time. Here's a list of everything I've watched so far and my review. I still have 6.5 weeks left of leave so if you have any recommendations send them my way. As I type this, I started watching Alert on FOX about the Missing Persons Unit...it's got me interested so far. But it's on TV now so I can't binge it. Send recs.

​SHOW	NETWORK	OPINION
Workin' Moms (new season)	Netflix	I think this show is so funny and relatable even if you don't have kids.
Tell Me Lies	Hulu	Lots of sex and not a lot of story but will watch season 2.
Do Revenge (movie)	Netflix	Not what I was expecting, would recommend for girly viewing pleasure.
Dead to Me (new season)	Netflix	Not as good as season 1 but better than season 2.
Manifest (new season)	Netflix	This show is weird but I had to know how it ended. If you're into that WTF but still hooked type of show - watch this.
Welcome to Chippendales	Hulu	Having seen the Chippendales, this show was interesting. It's about how it started and the story behind it. Would recommend.
Sex Lives of College Girls (new season)	HBO Max	I love this show. Everyone who watches it loves this show - watch it.
Firefly Lane (new season)	Netflix	I didn't remember liking season 1 so much, but I really liked this season. A lot happened!
Wednesday	Netflix	Wasn't sure I'd like this...but I did! It has Riverdale vibes but like, makes sense? Unlike the later seasons of Riverdale that are just so unrealistic.
Never Have I Ever (newest season)	Netflix	This show also makes me LOL.
Abbot Elementary (all until what's live)	Hulu	I have mixed feelings about this because some of it is SO accurate and some of it is so INaccurate of daily school business. I still watch.
Emily in Paris (new season)	Netflix	LOVE. IDC if you think it's lame. LOVE.
Ginny and Georgia (new season)	Netflix	Same as above. The 2nd season was so good!
The White Lotus	HBO Max	Don't come at me on this...I don't get the hype. If people didn't amp this up so much I don't think I would have even given it a chance. It kept my interest because I wanted to know what the hype was about, but it wasn't my favorite.
Chicago PD (too many seasons to count)	Peacock	Like the Law & Order shows, you don't really have to pay attention because it follows the same format each episode. Hence why I've 'watched' a lot of this...more like watch 1 and let 4 episodes play in the background.
