Binge Watching - Hits and Misses

[ronandannette]

Now that the network shows have pretty much wrapped up for the season I've got a little time in my tv watching schedule. I've got pretty much every on-demand and streaming service available and there are 100's of shows I never knew existed and I love a good binge. What are you watching this summer?

Hits:
The Big C (3/4 through the first season and LOVING it)
Spring Baking Championship
Intervention Canada
Imposters

Misses (shows I've watched an episode or two of and just can't get into):
Dead to Me
The Kominsky Method
Jailbirds
Enemy of the State

My most recent Binge watches have been
The Expanse- dh pressured me to watch and I did end up liking it
Colony- Season 3 didn't like it as much as 1&2 but I'm still a fan
Dead To Me- loved loved loved it!
The Rain- I had to rewatch season 1 before watching season 2. I really liked 1 but 2 is a let down.


Next on my list is
Riverdale
Black Mirror Season 5
Stranger Things Season 3

There are a few I've been meaning to start but haven't gotten around to it
Orange is the new black, Jessica Jones, Shameless
I hear good things from everyone, I don't know why I don't seem to be interested.

Binging on Blacklist right now, on season 3. What a shocker in season 3 when a major star is killed off. Maybe this person was leaving the show, but I was not aware of this, so WOW.

Blacklist

This prompted me to say out loud "hey, what about that movie" I google it, saw the trailer that was released yesterday and movie opens in September.

My latest binge watches that I have enjoyed:

Dead to Me
Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries.
Most Beautiful things ( Brazilian but I watch a lot of foreign so I don’t mind the subtitles)

Currently watching Fleabag season 2 on Amazon.

I can’t get back into the second season of Handmaids Tale.

Yup I just wish they were bringing the series back instead of just a movie.

Currently watching in my free time:

• The Society
• Northern Rescue
• Adam Ruins Everything (rewatching as it's a good laugh)

Plan to watch this summer:

• Riverdale- season 3
• Sabrina- season 2

Grace & Frankie

I finally decided to give it a go and OMG it is so funny. I legitimately have laughed out loud so many times.

But, it’s crass, so I don’t think you’d enjoy it.

I can’t think of anything else to contribute

Tried to binge Glee and got kinda sick of it halfway through season 3.

I've seen all but the current season - some episodes are better/worse than others but yeah, it's got a lot of "laugh out loud" moments. Lily Tomlin is sublime as Frankie.

That's about where I gave up watching Glee on tv when it was broadcast. How many seasons did it finally end up having?

6...I was a big fan but agree that the first seasons were that best.

I also really liked season 1 of the rain but season 2 has been very boring imo.
