Let's be serious, I watched A LOT of shows during my first two months of maternity leave. Between my recovery, a follow-up surgery due to some complications during my labor, and the countless hours of nursing, I found myself sitting on the couch for hours at a time holding Greta. Here are several shows I (binge) watched while holding my sleeping baby.
The Great British Baking Show: You guys, this is how all reality television should be. Every weekend on The Great British Baking Show amateur bakers come to the tent to complete in three challenges: the signature bake, the technical challenge, and the showstopper. The contestants are polite, charismatic, and entertaining. What I love most is that after each episode they return to their normal lives. There is NO drama between the bakers. In fact, they often help each other during their baking crises! We are currently halfway through the third season. The most challenging thing about watching this show is resisting the temptation to eat baked goods constantly. Brian has made several trips to our favorite local bakery after watching episodes to pick up cookies and cakes! We also now feel like we are experts on sponge, layers, and meringue.
Master of None: Aziz Ansari is pure genius. I plowed through the two seasons of Master of None and was so sad when it was over! I especially loved the first episode of Season 2 and the Thanksgiving episode. Master of None also showcases so many beautiful moments in New York City. I think I am already ready to re-watch it all. I miss Dev!
Friends: Brian and I have watched all ten seasons of Friends more times than we can count. It is one of our all-times favorites! During the week leading up to my surgery we had it on constantly. It's hard to be in a bad mood when watching this show.
Bachelorette: Yes, I am a member of Bachelor Nation. I liked Rachel's season, although it was a little less drama filled than usual. Anyone have a prediction for who the next bachelor will be?
World of Dance: I danced for 12 years growing up, so dance competition shows always appeal to me. I liked World of Dance because they only showed the best of the best from the very beginning. I am never a fan of the audition shows, so I was happy to see that this was not included in the series. I was disappointed with who ended up winning the show, but I still loved watching it all.
The Office: This is another series that I have watched again and again. No matter how many times I watch, the episodes always make me laugh out loud! One of my all-time favorite scenes is the
opening scene in the episode Stress Relief where Dwight starts a fire. I almost pee my pants every time I watch Angela throw her cat into the ceiling and watch Oscar's legs fall through as he tries to escape.
The Sinner: Three of the eight episodes in this close-ended series have aired. Some scenes have been difficult to watch for me, but after the first episode I was hooked. I am so intrigued by what will happen to Cora!
Any recommendations for what I should watch during my third month of maternity leave?
