What’s on the box – what’s on my watch-list

Now it’s light a little later and it’s not quite so cold {apart from yesterday when we had hail and SNOW!!}, I’ve not been tucking myself up in bed with a hot water bottle as soon as the kiddos are all in bed! Meaning I have a little bit of time in an evening for some grown-up TV – as opposed to watching whatever the kiddos choose. I’ve been browsing Netflix for some new show ideas, a show or two are as much as I can manage in an evening and I’m finding it less of a commitment than a movie as if I’m exhausted I can wathc a half hour show and then go to bed.

Here are a few of the shows I’ve been watching or have added to my watch list

1| Jane the Virgin – a Netflix Original, starring Gina Rodriguez as Jane Villaneuva who had vowed to remain chaste until she got married -then found herself pregnant due to a medical slip-up. Perfectly camp and quirky – and oh so funny!

2| Absolutely Fabulous – I loved this so much as a teenager. and not having seen it for years was so excited to see it was on Netflix! Also fun to realise I can still quote most episodes word-for-word!!

3| The Grand Budapest Hotel – somehow I’ve managed to miss seeing this until now – this is on my list to watch on one of those nights I get Beastie to bed early{ish}

4| Love in a Cold Climate – I think I saw the first episode of this when it was originally aired, but never the second – so it’s time to rectify that.

5| The Duchess – I read the book a couple of years ago, and stumbled across this last week, I do love a bit of historical drama!
