I'm writing a roundup of the best new shows (3 seasons or less) to watch on maternity leave or just for fun!
A new show that I really enjoyed was Aziz Ansari's Master of None!
-
This Is Us!
-
Black-ish!
-
Jane the Virgin
-
I'm also really liking this is us!
-
This is Us, Billions, Better Call Saul.
-
Designated Survivor
-
I saw one episode of "Divorce" (Sarah Jessica Parker) on HBO and I really liked it. It was funny. Too bad I don't have HBO.
Other than that, I like Secrets and Lies (ABC), Younger (TV Land), This is Us (NBC), Timeless (NBC), The Good Place (NBC), American Housewife (ABC).
-
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The Grinder (both on Netflix), Catastrophe (Amazon), Silicon Valley (HBO)
-
Odd Mom Out on Bravo. Hilarious.
-
Another vote for This Is Us!
The Night Of (HBO) was really good as well, though it's only one season.
-
I only watched the pilot so far but American Housewife was really funny. My cousin is on the production staff so I am hoping that one stays around for a bit.
We also really like speechless. Two of my sons best buds are non verbal kids with Cerebral Palsy and both of their moms were interviewed by the writers and have helped develop the script. It is a great show and the interaction between JJ and his assistant is hilarious. Mini Driver plays the mom and she is fantastic.
We have also been watching Stranger things and Penny Dreadful. I love how they integrate all the old classic monsters.
-
Odd Mom Out and Girlfriends Guide to Divorce are both hilarious. I like This is Us too. Maternity leave does provide some good binge tv watching!
-
UnReal!
-
I really enjoyed Preacher and I have enjoyed the first two episodes of Westworld. Stranger Things was awesome. I'm watching Marvel's Agent Carter right now and it's entertaining.
-
Trying to add ones that have not already been mentioned...
The Real O'Neals
UndergroundThese two shows are not new, but make for some serious week long binging.

This is Us - best new series in my opinion
How to Get Away with Murder - just started 3rd season
Grace and Frankie - I LOVE THIS SHOW. Frankie is my spirit animal.
Better Call Saul - it's good on it's own but I feel like you'd love it more if you were a Breaking Bad fan -
i've been watching westworld too. I'm drawn to it but then its so dark
-
This year I've loved the following:
Catastrophe
Transparent
Billions
This Is Us
Divorce (only one episode in so far) -
@YogiRunner: That show is frightening ... but good!
-
@Mrs. Marshmallow: yes to gracie and frankie!!!!
-
This is us
The good place
Stranger things
How to get away with murderI need to see Westworld!
-
Westworld.
UN. FREAKING. BELIEVABLE.
So far one of my favorite shows, ever.
-
@hummusgirl: every single one of those, except I haven't seen Grinder. Catastrophe is some of the best tv I've seen so far. The writer/actress of Catastrophe is also producing SJP's Divorce, and the first episode of that was great. Love Crazy Ex Girlfriend. My husband is obsessed with Silicon Valley, so we watch all of those, too.
We also love the Million Dollar Listing shows, haha
-
@Anagram: You should check out The Grinder! It stars Rob Lowe as a guy who played a lawyer on a TV show and after it ends, goes back to live with his brother (Fred Savage) who's an actual lawyer. A fast (20-min episodes) and easy watch!
-
@Anagram: I LOVE Catastrophe. It's going to be a long wait for season 3.
