With all the new TV series starting up soon, this week we are looking at binge-worthy shows. I have some favorites that I can't wait to share with you and I'll start with my all-time favorite go-to show..............
GILMORE GIRLS - I feel in love with this show years ago and rarely a month goes by that I don't catch some episodes on Netflix.
SUPERNATURAL - Although I've fallen behind and really want to start at the beginning, with 13 seasons on Netflix, this would be for the die-hard binge watcher. Also, many people love Sam and Dean by Castiel has always been my favorite.
BLACK LAKE - This is a Scandinavian thriller I stumbled across on Shudder and I really enjoy it a lot and highly recommend it.
THE WALKING DEAD - I do believe the first few seasons are the best, but the show remains pretty entertaining (okay, Daryl remains pretty entertaining). There are currently 8 seasons available on Netflix and season 9 starts on AMC in October!
GAMES OF THRONES - Do I really need to say anything?
YOUNGER - This comedy/drama centers around a publishing firm in New York and I think most book lovers would find it pretty interesting.
LAW & ORDER SVU - When there is nothing else on TV, you'll usually find this playing in the background at our house, especially because USA Network shows it so often. Currently starting its 20th season, it will provide hours of entertainment.
MR. MERCEDES - I know a lot of people haven't been able to get this show, but I do know the DVD of Season 1 was just released. If you can get your hands on it somehow, I highly recommend it.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY - I find this show hit or miss. Certain seasons have been great and others have been "meh." However, it's always like watching a train wreck - it's hard to look away. Plus it has featured some awesome actors.
BANSHEE - This show ran for 4 seasons on Cinemax and I loved it. Definitely watch it if you get a chance.
So there you have it. Are you hooked on these and do you have any new ones to recommend?
I'm already discussing theories with my dad for the final series of Game of Thrones! I can't wait! I really need to catch up with Supernatural. I've only seen 5 episodes of season one but loved it and I'm WAY behind! I'm in two minds about continuing with The Walking Dead. From the spoilers I've been unable to avoid, almost all my favourites seem to have been murdered for the sake of it and it sounds as if it's more about gangs than zombies now.
ReplyDeleteI think we actually watched up through season 7 of Supernatural on TV and then kind of dropped off. I won't lie, 13 seasons is kind of an intimidating watch. If you don't continue The Walking Dead, I could fully understand. I think the only reason I continue to watch it is because I've invested so much time in it already.
DeleteMy daughter likes American Horror Story. I have been curious about it cause I see all the celebrities that make appearances in it. Yes of course to GoT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked Season 3 - Coven the best and also the season with Lady Gaga was pretty good - Hotel I think. This last year kind of completely lost me. I will still watch it though I'm sure.
DeleteI love Younger! I haven't watched past the first season, though. I'd love to catch up😊
ReplyDeleteYou need to - it only gets better.
Deleteoh yay I love this post! I needed some fresh TV ideas! I sooo agree about AMERICAN HORROR STORY! I used to LOVE the first seasons and then I fell out!
ReplyDeleteYep, seems it gets crazier and crazier each year.
DeleteI've never heard of Banshee, but I'm very intrigued!
ReplyDeleteCheck it. It's a lot of fun and the character "Jobe" is the best!
DeleteSo believe it or not I have only watch SVU and a few episodes of American Horror Story and that is it out of your list!!
ReplyDeleteGeesh, there's some on here you need to check out then.
DeleteYay for The Walking Dead (the first few seasons anyway). And Black Lake looks like something I'd like. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very well done and quite atmospheric, especially if you like cold winter settings.
DeleteWith Andrew Lincoln leaving the show I'm not sure how The Walking Dead will go. Can't wait for the finale of GOT. And I watched all of thee episodes of American Horror Story earlier this summer. I hope to find some new shows soon. I did start watching Ozark. An edge of your sitter mess. LOL
ReplyDeleteYea, I almost wish they would wrap The Walking Dead up. It seems to be declining yet I know as long as they produce it, I'll end up watching. They've had a good run.
DeleteSupernatural is on my list too I have been binge watching that one on my Fridays off. :-) I love Law & Order SVU. I need to start watching that again.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen all the Law & Order SVU episodes 2-3 times if not more.
DeleteI do enjoy TWD and am currently working my way through GOT. I really need to check out some of the other shows you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteYep, you might find some more to watch!
DeleteI feel the same way about American Horror Story. I loved the first three seasons, then I hated Freak Show, and Hotel and Roanoke were just mediocre for me. I haven't watched Cult yet so hopefully I'll enjoy that one more.
ReplyDelete- Louise
You're right. Freak Show is kind of where it lost me. Hotel was fine and Roanoke okay, but Cult was weird. I still like Coven the best.
DeleteYESSSS! You have so many of my faves on here! There are a few that I'm going to have to check out as well! Great list!
ReplyDeleteCool. Maybe you'll find something new to watch. I figured we shared some common likes with TV too as much as we do with books.
DeleteBarb I do EXACTLY the same thing when it comes to SVU! It's weirdly comforting hearing the theme music and those familiar voices!
ReplyDeleteI know right? I feel like Liv and Stabler are old friends. I've even gotten used to the new cast too.
DeleteMy friend has been trying to get me to watch Younger for weeks now! I'm currently stuck on an AHS binge. I'm really enjoying Coven currently. :)
ReplyDeleteCoven has Stevie Nicks in it and she is my favorite female singer. She's like my female Prince obsession. I think she's making an appearance in the new season too which is said to tie in with Coven. We'll see.
DeleteSupernatural is easily one of my favorite shows!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT and my plans for Fall Bookish Bingo
Sam and Dean are awesome!
DeleteAhhh Gilmore Girls and SVU. Yes, those are ones I'd binged at one point or another, too :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE American Horror Story! I missed the first season of Mr. Mercedes, but, thank goodness it reran and I've got the whole thing on DVR so I can watch season two! :D
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more about American Horror - I've loved some episodes but not so much others but then at the same time I'm kind of glued to it.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
