Before Netflix (before I had it at least) I would have said I was a TV addict. I do love TV shows, but I have always been awful and remembering times and channels. So often I will see an advert for something I want to watch and I never remember. I have fallen into a comfortable routine of having a lot of choice any time I want. I use Netflix and Now TV for different shows. These players have built it into my brain that one is not enough. I love to binge watch. There are a few select shows I watch as they come out on both platforms week by week, but if I'm looking for a new show I'm looking for one with a couple of seasons and plenty of episodes to sink my teeth into. There are movies and TV shows for any occasion. In my case there are a few that I have to watch with my partner. Shows like 'How to get away with Murder' or Game of Thrones'. If Luke watched one of these without me it's likely I would throw a fit.
Having two Xboxs is
amazing. Now I have even more obsessions because I can sit downstairs
and binge watch all kinds of series that are a bit to girly for Luke
to be interested in. There are too many to tell you them all but I
thought I would share some of the series I like to watch by myself
with a nice cup of coffee all on my lonesome.
Charmed
This is a go to when
I have nothing new to watch. Charmed first came out in 1998, and its
hard for me to believe I was only seven years old at the time. I
probably didn’t start watching until I was somewhere in my teens,
so I had only ever seen a few seasons and then picked up an episode
or two on TV in the last few years. Finding this got me seriously
excited for some binge watching. It's one of those shows that I can
even watch when I'm having problems concentrating. I put this on when
I'm pottering about cleaning the living room (WARNING: This will make
you procrastinate when trying to do chores.)
Love
When I originally saw Netflix advertising this when it first came out
I thought what a load of S**t. It didn't look appealing to me at all.
Cheap and s**t. A couple of weeks ago the PMS left me in a flood of
tears for no reason...the hangover didn't help much either. This is
when I decided to give it a watch. When you’re feeling gross and
gloomy what better than something about Love to make you more
miserable, right? But it wasn’t what I expected, not mushy at all.
Love is so witty and easy to watch. I finished the entire series over
the weekend.
Reign
I love Period Dramas. I started watching Reign for this reason, plus
there was already 2 and a half series on Netflix just waiting to be
binge watched. However at first I wasn't to keen. It is clearly aimed
at for a teenage audience(especially in the first season) I'm not to
sure some of the costumes are 100% historically correct but I can't
deny I have fallen for this show. As the seasons have gone on I no
longer feel like it is aimed at such a young audience...or maybe I am
still 15 at heart! The second half of the third series is currently
being added week by week so the binge watching has come to an end for
this one, but it seeing as it has been renewed for a fourth season it
will stay as a firm favourite.
Call the Midwife
I watched the first season while I was at university and then just
forgot this show existed. I go through long phases of being quite
obsessed by the 50s, the hair, the fashion, everything. This is
another one of those relaxing shows I can watch when I'm finding it
hard to concentrate but it's also one that has you desperate to watch
another episode! There are currently three seasons on Netflix
although I think four may have been released. (This is probably one
of my only gripes with Netflix!)
