Binge watching Bingo
-
Over the past few weeks I have been doing some binge watching of various series. That is what winter is for.
Just wondered what people thought of these:
Fargo, the Series. Season One
Orange is the New Black. Season One
Unforgettable.
Dracula. The NBC series starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
The Bridge
The Walking Dead, 4th season
Orphan Black
House of Cards
Homeland, Season 3
My wife and I also watch a lot of English mysteries:
DCI Banks
Poirot
Broadchurch
Midsomer Murders Series 23
Wallander...Swedish series (subtitle)
Miss Marple
Ripper Street
Bletchley Circle
Endeavour
Vera
There may be a few others.
What other good shows are out there to binge watch? (Generally I do not do sitcoms)

Can't help you, Gip. Sorry.
I don't watch a whole lot of TV but, when I do, I either watch reruns of Seinfeld or Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen.
I watch a fair amount of American Pickers, Pawn Stars, and Hard Core Pawn. I like them because I like to dabble a bit.
I confess that I am a channel flipper and, sometimes, come across something that makes me stop and watch. Flipping last night, I came across a movie starring Jennifer Beals. I knew today would be Monday 'snow day' #3 in a row so I allowed myself to get caught up in the lame movie on Lifetime.
If I do get involved in 'Binge' watching, it is usually when my kids are home from school and they get me interested in certain series. Nothing recent, though.

Try the Americans on FX about KGB illegal spies living as Americans. Excellent series. If you have on Demand you can watch the first two from this year.

That is one that I want to see....and honestly, the series that I get usually I get the DVDs from the library. I can always order something like that. Has the first season come out on DVD yet?
(The one series that I always purchase the DVD sets for is GOT)

I watch the Pickers and Pawn Stars a lot myself. Not so much the Hard Core Pawn.....too hard core for me.

Orange is the new black is pretty decent. It points a rather lighthearted view of prison though. I've never been there and never will but I guarantee the problems in men's prison are a lot more rape-y.
-
I like pawn stars and pickers and as an added bonus it puts the kids to sleep like a charm.

Damages is really addictive.
Susan mike homeland more than I do but we've seen it through season 4.
Through six episodes of Boardwalk Empire and really like it.
Breaking Bad was excellent.
Love the Riches but it was killed midseason by the writers strike.
Tried the Americans but we're almost bored to death by the first episode. Might try it again...
I watched a few episodes of Bates Motel and couldn't get into it.
We love house of cards. Have never seen alpha house.
Justified is pretty good.
As for sitcoms episodes is excellent. Bob Martin turned me onto it.
I like Gotham so far.
The Following gets a little shaky in season 2 and season three starts soon.

Breaking Bad was excellent. Of course, but that has been done for a while.
Love the Riches but it was killed midseason by the writers strike. Have not heard of it.

I watched a few episodes of Bates Motel and couldn't get into it. Saw it at library.....have veered away so far.
We love house of cards. The original British version was good as well
Have never seen alpha house. Nor I
Justified is pretty good. It is.

Waiting for the DVD
The Following gets a little shaky in season 2 and season three starts soon.
I thought it was shaky in Season 1.

Also....I think I need to the The Vikings. Did not watch it when on TV
-
Ah yes! I really liked Vikings. I think there is a new season underway. Did you take a chance on Sons of Liberty? I think its just a 3 episode series.

Standard Game of Thrones response aside, there don't seem to be as many 'live' shows of such great quality as a few years ago with Breaking Bad, the wire and things like that. I binged on Nashville for a bit, but it wasn't great - just background noise while working. Same with 'Black Sails' I've just started - not great, though lots of sex.

I have finished the first season of Vikings.
-
So far better call Saul is excellent
-
I also saw True Detective first season. Loved it.
-
Yeah true detective was pretty sweet
-
I didn't love true detective but I liked it pretty well. I'm waiting until I have more episodes of better call Saul before I start. Sucks having to wait a week...

I have seen the first two seasons of The Americans and both my wife and I like it a lot.

The Wife and I watched the "First season" of The Dig. I liked it, she couldn't take her eyes off of it.
Am in the middle of the second season of DaVinci's Demons.
First season was good. Second season is pretty weird....it has DaVinci going to South America.....uh, no.
In the last few weeks we have seen the first 3 Seasons of Lovejoy.....yes, it comes from the early 90s....but we still like it, and we hear there is going to be a revival of it soon. In case you don't know, it is a light comedy/mystery starring Ian McShane as a somewhat ne'er do well antiques dealer.
Am also about to embark on the Final Season of Justified. Enjoyed it all the way through.
