Recommend a show for late nights with a newbirn

[Anonymous]

This is child #2 and I want something that’ll make me want to stay up and watch it despite needing to keep up with DS #1. We have Hulu, amazon, Netflix and HBO go. Things I’ve seen and enjoyed: Breaking Bad, West World, True Detective, Call the Midwife, Divorce, Stranger Things, True Blood, Mad Men, Parenthood (etc),

I hate myself for misspelling newborn

I watched all of The Good Wife.

It's been a while but even at the worst of the newborn stage, I don't remember a lot of time to watch tv.

Outlander, Ozark, Big Little Lies, Ballers or Entourage (lighter than the others, but also shorter -- sometimes I like to have a 30 minute show to mix in if I know I don't want to be up a full hour from the start time).

I thought OP meant while up at night feeding the baby. That's when I watched tv.

OP, I love all the shows you mentioned and also have a newborn! I’m working my way through Shut Eye on Hulu. It’s pretty good! Also the next season of Black Mirror is online tomorrow!

OP here - that’s what I meant. Specifically the time when DW has finished nursing and I want her to catch a 2-3 hour window of good sleep. I used to sleep with DS1 while holding him on the sofa but feel more paranoid about doing that this time around and want something to keep me awake.

OP here - are you my DW? We are watching Shut Eye and she’s really psyched about the new black mirror.

Dexter and game of thrones?

Good Wife, Big Love, Grand Designs. But really, OP, I basically slept and fed my second because I was so exhausted. With #1, I was up for hours during the night feeling not that bad. Not the same with #2. I'd maybe read if I were you since youwon't have that much time to read later.

Halt and catch fire. All 4 seasons on Netflix.

I always nursed in bed, scrolled Facebook/dcum and then laid the baby immediately in the bassinet. I never watched tv or left my bed (unless there was a blowout or baby wouldn't nurse back to sleep).

OP has a baby already. She's familiar with the mechanics of nursing. She posted in Entertainment/Pop Culture not Teach Me How To Mom.
