TV for a new Mama

grobag

My evening TV companion ;)

While I always love watching a bit of TV, the odd show or movie, since Mr Vega was born I’ve watched a tonne. Before, I used the evenings to work once the girls were in bed. Since his arrival, he usually demands my attention in the evening {plus by then I’m so tired I can barely string two words together}. Netlix has proved to be a huge lifesaver. When the girlies were babies, we only had terrestrial TV… meaning we had to make do with whatver rubbish happened to be on. We haven’t actually had normal TV for 6 years now, and have had a Netflix subscription for the last 4, meaning we can watch what we want, when we want. Ooooh so modern :p

Anyway, I digress… evenings with a baby mean no work so I’ve been popping the TV on for a little entertainment in between nappy changes, bathtime, and booby feeds…. here’s a list of what I {and Mr V} have been watching these past four months:

Call the Midwife – I’ve watched them all before, but they were the perfect post-birth watching, though many episodes made me sob uncontrollably!

The Good Wife – I’m well behind the times on this one, but after hearing so many people rave about it, I finally gave in and have binge watched all that Netflix had to offer! It’s so good {and with Chris Noth gives me a little eye candy!}

Peep Show – after a brief stint sharing a house with 4 boys when the husband and I first got together, I quite like me a little boy humour… it’s been years since I watched the Peep Show, but it still made me giggle quite a bit

House – I watched the first couple of episodes ages ago, but have been re-watching this lately {mainly for more eye candy!}

Unbreakable kimmy schmidt – I’ve only watched the first two episodes so far, but it’s fab! I love Ellie Kemper {from The Office} and think I’m going to love this series!

What have you been watching recently?

I’m a member of the Netflix Stream Team, but I really have watched all of these and am a big Netflix fan ;)

    We’ve started the Gotham series which is ok on an evening when we can’t be bothered to do anything. When husband is out I get into Downton Abbey which my parents bought me the boxset of. The kids are actually watching less and less TV these days. I need to catch up on the Call The Midwife series, can’t remember where I’m up to but I love it!

    I’m waiting for my arrival – due in 2 days :) and have. Just started watching Downton. Was never keen on it before but it’s sucking me in. Good job Sky have the whole box set on demand!

    I love Mad Men too, and True Detective was amazing.

    Loving a box set. Peep show is brilliant x
