GTKY: TV shows to binge watch

[bruunk]

So as I get this whole small human who depends on me thing down, I've been indulging in Netflix binge watching! I am currently watching Private Practice. I watched about 4 seasons of Grey's before I got annoyed with the story line and these story lines are just as silly and soap opera like - and I love it!! Thinking I need to redo Grey's after this. Anyone else binge watching something? Has anyone figured out how to read and bf? I would feel better about reading.

I read all the time. I think it's easier on my kindle or kindle app on my phone. Especially at night. But I did just finish watching Hart of Dixie and I need to find a new show. Especially since DH will be out of town next week.

Finished watching Parenthood and had ALL THE FEELS. OITNB. Once upon a time (season 4). Sense8. Now watching Lost Girl.

Also reading on my iPad.

I've been alternating between a few shows, but I'm getting kind of tired of TV. We switch between The Office, Call the Midwives and Baby Daddy depending on my mood. I binge watched Greys a lot while I was pregnant and got tired of it, but I think I'm also ready to watch that again.

My kindle! Duh - if I can knit and read on that, I should be able to bf and read using my kindle. Guys - sleep deprivation is really screwy on your brain!!

Parks and rec, the good wife, greys anatomy, and parenthood.

Scandal, oitnb, & friends are my go tos

Private Practice and Grey's are both faves! We're watching The Following and Orphan Black. Both awesome but kinda heavy. For MOTN I'm re-watching 30 Rock. Liz Lemon makes me giggle even at 4am.

I haven't been watching that much TV unless you count shows that DS watches like Thomas the train, cat n the hat etc.

A few weeks ago when LO was sleeping all day I read a Robert Crais murder mystery book called Suspect from start to finish in one day. I also just finished Tina Feys book bossy pants. She has a whole chapter making fun of moms that brag about everything they are doing right and then the last chapter is hilarious about her conflicts regarding if she will have a 2nd child or not after 40. Highly recommend it!

Next I'm going to read another murder mystery called into the woods

[bendherova]

reading is doable electronically. I got my kindle bc of breastfeeding DS1. I read a lot then!

tv shows: white collar, suits, justified, gilmore girls, castle, call the midwives

[billyhorrible]

I watched the whole first season of Skin Wars earlier this week and am caught up on the current season.

My recs for other series:

Sherlock
Coupling (British version only)
Being Human (British version only)
Firefly
Galavant
Pretty Little Liars (I did this one during my first pregnancy)
Forever
Psych

If you like magazines, I can't recommend next issue enough. $10-15 a month and all the magazines you can read. I read a lot of tabloids in the middle of the night!

Shows I binge on: friends, parks and Rec, 30 rock. I'm burning through inside any schumer now.

[bruunk]

Wow - you guys all have great taste in TV shows and reading material I knew I liked you ladies!!

[laurenlou83]

I binge watched Orange is the New Black, all 3 seasons.
I am now indulging in Parenthood and it is fantastic.
I recommend both!

[wormgerm]

Currently on season 3 of Parks and Rec. If you like Call The Midwife husband and I also liked Bomb Girls and Land Girls on Netflix. Not as good but still entertaining. We loved Parenthood when it was on so another vote for that. Of course we're all obsessed with OITNB so we got through this season really fast. Pre-baby we did the seasons of American Horror Story but that graphic stuff messes with my anxiety so none of that for a good long while now.

[stinybean]

bruunk have you thought about audio books?

[kemdupuis]

I've been doing this too! Great thread- I needed new show suggestions!

Here's what I've been watching:
OITNB
Bloodline
The Office

[ravinraven216]

I've watched all of Firefly and The White Queen. Currently I'm watching Mr. Selfridge, which is about the first department store in Lomdon, which was opened by an American businessman in 1909. It's much better than my description makes it sound. DH watched Angel and Dollhouse, so I've caught several episodes of those.

I watched mr selfridge too and really enjoyed it. I never ended up watching the last episode though so I need to find it and finish it

I'm not a huge fan of them, but do have several queued up - but if the reader isn't a good reader it just annoys me!!

[purpledaisy923]

I've been watching OITNB, House MD, and Supernatural on Netflix.

[txngrl31]

I'm surprised so many of y'all watch Parenthood! Like budders, I cried during every episode. I eventually stopped watching because it became too heavy for me.

I'm also reading a lot on my Kindle- good for those MOTN feedings.

TV shows I recommend:
Homeland : ( seasons 2 and 3 get slow, but season four is amazing!)
The Office
True Blood
Game of Thrones
The Good Wife
New Girl
The Middle
Modern Family
The Tyrant
American Odyssey ( DH and I are currently watching this)

[bruunk]

I'm going to have to give Parenthood a chance. I wanted to love it when it came out, especially since it's set in Berkeley, my hometown, but had a hard time with some of the shots that are obviously NOT Berkeley ... Very silly

[pghtruelove]

I'm a huge Psych fan(hence why we named our daughter Juliet and are calling her Jules) so my SO is making me watch The Mentalist. So far I like it well enough.

[gilder40]

We just started season two of The Walking Dead. Love it so far. I'm going to start OITNB soon. I need something to watch while hubbins sleeps during the day.
