10 Netflix series to watch when you're laid up
During treatment, I spent hours, days even, laying in bed watching Netflix since I didn’t have the energy or strength to do much more surrounding the treatment dates. The pattern usually looked like me getting treatment on a Friday, and staying in bed on and off through Sunday -getting up for walks, for etc….
That meant I watched a LOT of Netflix!! So I thought a succinct little recommendation review might be helpful if YOU are laid up too :) Below are some of my favorite shows (some I watched during and others I just love), a short description, and of course…how many seasons you can count on!
Cheers
Follow the life of Sam Malone - a bar tender and womanizer, as he goes through life and love. Funny, and relatable, you’ll feel like you know all the “regulars”. There are a 11 seasons.
Frasier
Frasier was a regular character on cheers so I obviously had to start this series a well. Turns, out, this series is even better. Frasier is a goofy psychiatrist who blunders his way through romantic relationships, lives with his Dad and his Dad’s physical therapist, and has humorous conversations with his brother Niles, another psychiatrist. There are 11 seasons.
Jane the virgin
Jane is a virgin who get artificially inseminated by accident! This starts her life on a path she never would have chosen, but would also never change. Get to know her family in this comedy-drama! There are 5 seasons.
Royal Pains
Follow a concierge doctor and his brother through the hamptons as the treat the wealthy. There are 8 seasons.
Friends
Believe it or not, it was only in the past 2 years or so that I finally watched this series!!! Follow a group of friends as they navigate living, working and dating in NYC. There are 10 seasons.
The Good Witch
Very Hallmark-esque :) Cassie always seems to know exactly how to help her friends and neighbors find just what they need in her shop. She is a pillar in the community helping everyone she can. There are 4 seasons.
When Calls the Heart
A young school teacher from a wealthy family, decides to rough is as a one room schoolteacher in an old western town. It soon becomes her home and where she falls in love. There are 5 seasons on Netflix.
Sherlock
Benedict Cumberbatch makes this a MUST see series. He adds a neurotic yet lovable touch to the ever popular Sherlock Holmes. Sadly there are only 4 seasons, but another one is on it’s way! Drama, excitement and humor - all in one!
The Good Place
A group of humans finds themselves accidentally in heaven. A funny perspective on the afterlife and how you might react if you were meant for…the other place. There are 3 seasons.
New Girl
Funny and kind of inappropriate at times, this is a modern spin of friends. Follow a group of friends, help together by Jess, as they navigate life, and love in NYC. Funny, ironic, laugh out loud. There are 7 seasons.
I hope you enjoy these 10 series! Many of them are laugh out loud which we know comes with it’s own health benefits making it even better to prioritize when you’re sick!
