Over the years I've grown to love binge watching. Whether it's an old show that’s been off the air for years or a new one that I’ve been meaning to check out, it’s so much fun. I dive into a new show, normally with the Huz, and for a month or two that's what we watch whenever we have time.
Our latest binge is Friday Night Lights and we just finished it this week. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved it. I've waited to watch this one for years because I thought it was going to be just about football… and I'm not the biggest sports fan. But it was about so much more than football. Landry, Tami, Matt's grandma, there are so many great characters that I’m going to miss. Sure there are cheesy plot lines and annoying people as well, but overall it was so good! It reminded me why I love being able to sink into a show and lose myself for hours in excellent story writing and character development.
Ana wrote a great post on the show at Things Mean A Lot that was one of the reasons I finally decided to give it a shot.
Here’s a few of the shows that I’ve binged…
House of Cards, Doctor Who, The Bletchley Circle, Game of
Thrones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Orange Is the New Black, Scandal, Orphan
Black, Sons of Anarchy, True Detective, Dollhouse, Bones, Sports Night, Drunk
History, Firefly, The Wire, Sopranos, Call the Midwife, and Luther.
So, what shows and my missing? What do I
still need to binge? I tried Battlestar Galactica, got three seasons in and
then Netflix dropped it! I've also got The West Wing, Supernatural, Boardwalk
Empire and Damages on my list, but what am I missing?
P.S. If I haven't mentioned it before on this blog, I
kind a love TV. But only a couple weeks ago we finally pulled the plug and have
no cable. We’re currently using Netflix and debating whether we should get Hulu
Plus or Amazon Prime too.
P.P.S. There a few notable shows that I've never binged
like, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Parks and Rec, Parenthood, Fargo, Gilmore Girls,
Walking Dead, Downtown Abbey, and Scrubs, but that's only because I watch the
shows from the very beginning and I've
loved them all the way through.
