Soooo usually I love thriller type shows. Dexter was my all time favorite ever. I starting watching the new season of True Blood and I had the worst nightmares for days!! I also tried watching another show and the violence made me queasy.
Any shows you love that are not bloody/scary/gory/violent? Pregnancy seems to have changed my tolerance.
I'm giving a Parenthood and Hart of Dixie a try. I like them but they are both SO cheesy.
I loved Downton Abbey.

@youboots: I love Breaking Bad! Some episodes are a little violent, but most aren't.

Do they need to be current? If not Friday Night Lights, Scandal, Orange is the New Black, Pretty Little Liars (some thrill but it's a teen show so not scary), Revenge.

I'll add to your list: Orphan Black, Doctor Who, Castle, Defiance, Rookie Blue, Bones (although the first scene of Bones is usually gory when they find the remains, so... just a warning), Sherlock

@youboots: stick with Parenthood, it definitely isn't cheesy as you go on!
Also second @LuLu Mom: recommendations of Friday Night Lights and Orange is the New Black.
Also, Call the Midwife is great if you liked Downton Abbey.

@lawbee11 I'm one of those rare people who did not like BB, I quit watching after season 1.
@lulu mom no need to be current at all great suggestions. I love Scandal.
@adira I'm looking some of these up. Thank you.
Ps I have watched all of Battlestar Galactica & Caprica, nerd alert. I could rewatch those.

@youboots: do NOT watch The Killing! What about Homeland (a little violent but not crazy) or The Newsroom? Scandal and Call the Midwife are excellent recommendations too!

I love The Killing.
It's a thriller, but not gory or violent.
I also like House of Cards.

@plantains M likes it more than I do so I'll think we will stick with it. There was so much yelling/bickering in the first season. We are on season 2.
Thanks @cmomma17 good ideas.
Ok for sure on my list:
Call the Midwife
The Newsroom

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I love it too but it's so hard to watch as a parent and I think it is a bad mix with pregnancy hormones!

@youboots: Oh good, you're a sci-fi fan? Than I'll also suggest Farscape and Firefly if you haven't seen them! And Stargate SG-1 (note: season 1 is TERRIBLE, but it gets AMAZING) and Stargate Atlantis.

@adira yes! We are already watching Defiance. I've heard of firefly.
I loooooved Jericho, which also had a small cult following. I tried Twin Peaks but it instantly made M fall asleep, like within 5 minutes at 8pm.

@youboots: Oh, also Lost Girl and Continuum are awesome. Season 1 of Bitten was good so far. Helix was cool, but definitely scary/gory. Spartacus was AMAZING but very violent and bloody (although it's dramatized bloody, so it didn't bother me as much as Tru Blood). Oh, and Merlin was a fun show!

@youboots: You have to watch Orphan Black if you like Sci Fi. Trust me:)

@Adira: I haven't tried Continuum yet but have wanted to. Will be giving it a go now, thanks for the rec!

@plantains: I hope you like it! I feel like each season is even better than the last!

Stick with Parenthood! It IS a little cheesy, but it's so sweet! I love it!

Parenthood and Hart of Dixie are two of my favorites. Hart of Dixie especially is soooo cheesy! But I think that might be part of the reason I love it so much. And Parenthood is really good. This is the last season.
