While I could write about something to do with Christmas, I've decided to go the simple route - NETFLIX!
Binge watching shows on Netflix is something that has become
much of a fad. Because it’s often difficult to find the time to sit down and
watch a show live, and even though DVR is something we can use – not every
person has it.
While it may take some time for your favorite show to appear
– or the next season to crop up – Netflix is a fast way to catch up. You can
easily catch up on a season – pause it where you leave off and easily pick up
where you left off with it. It tracks where you are with it, and there’s no
judging. (Though I have heard that Netflix will often ask if you are still alive
if you watch for too long – it hasn’t happened to me yet. Fingers Crossed.)
It’s a way to sit down and relax after a day of work,
school, both of them – and give you a reprieve from the world at large.
Some of the shows currently on (and on my To Watch and
Re-Watch list) that you may enjoy too are (in no specific order or favorite
ranking):
Once Upon A Time
This is a fantastic ABC show that takes everyone from the
Disney verse and sets them all together in Storybrooke, Maine. It follows Emma
Swan, daughter of Snow white and Prince Charming, whose son Henry is currently
being parented by the Evil Queen. Currently on its Sixth season (with the
possibility of more) you have five seasons to watch. Gold! (No pun intended.)
Supergirl
DC is having a fierce time with hit shows on the CW. I’m
only two episodes in, but it is definitely something to keep tabs on. This show
will also be tying in with The Flash and Arrow. So stay tuned!
Merlin
This show has been around for a few years
(coughsince2005ish). There are only five seasons it’ll be a quick get through
if you binge with earnest intent! And Author and Merlin – what more could a
history buff want?
Stranger Things
Granted there’s only one season so far (season two has been
promised and will coming soon!), but each episode is completely worth it. It’s
a unique take on the 1980’s genre, coupled with Dungeons & Dragons, a
mystery, and spooky thriller. Take a peek on it – it’s worth the watch!
Penny Dreadful
This one took me by surprise. I first watched it on a plane
to Alaska (got through five and a half episodes before reaching Seattle for the
transfer, but that’s still a record). It takes the old Penny Dreadful stories
(no pun intended), adds a bit of Mary Shelly, Oscar Wilde, and Bram Stoker (so
far). This isn’t a series for the faint of heart though, as battling any sort
of monster fight comes with its fair share of blood and gore. So be warned of
anyone under 18.
The Pinkerton's
I have yet to delve into this one, but just hear me out. The
Pinkerton's are to America what Scotland Yard is to England. This will be a
fantastic show to watch through – so keep it booked.
Fuller House
Hear me out – this is based off of Full House, only the
girls are grown up and living in their old house. The shenanigans involved with
the three single woman is a fun comedy to watch through.
Supernatural
I would be a terrible person if I didn’t include this on the
list. While I am not up to date with the current season (I’m still on Season
five, sue me). There’s a reason why this show has lasted this long. Currently
on season eleven, it’s full of everything you could want in a show. Take a look
at it – there’s quite a few seasons to catch up on – all of them worth it.
Galavant
While it’s sad this only lasted two seasons – each episode
it only twenty minutes. The trick: they’re all musicals. The singers are
spectacular, and we fans would love to see the return of this. Netflix said it
might just happen if enough people watch it on Netflix – so GO WATCH IT!
