Full disclosure: stole this from another board

What are you/have you been bingewatching that's been good? Recommendations???

Kind of out of things to binge watch, but we did recently watch through all of Grey's Anatomy (and not for the first time which is particularly sad) when my husband had to take medical leave for a blown ear drum and lolololol the first season is fun but the recent seasons are hilariously bad. 

We're watching and enjoying White Lotus

DH is making me watch Big Brother which feels like a binge. I've only seen one season before this, and he makes me watch these youtube videos about it -_-

Everyone’s probably seen this one already, but I just finishing going through the whole Schitt’s Creek series again and it’s so great!! 

Following for binge ideas from people 😊

FishyMom

I love Big Brother!! 

We recently watched The Hills: Reboot and Yellowstone. 

We are looking for a new show to binge? We started MadMen, but not sure we want to stick with it. Any suggestions? Anyone seen OuterBanks?

@FishyMom I ADORE madmen. One of my favorite shows ever. 

The Boys on Amazon Prime is so good. Currently watching Doctor Foster on Netflix. 

doxiemoxie212

Mad Men is good, though if I remember correctly (it's been a while) it *is* slow to get into. 

loveanddatadriven

@monstera13 we wanted to like Schitt’s Creek and chuckled while watching, but it just didn’t stick for us! Love their gif memes, though.

Schmigadoon on Apple TV is really fun. Currently watching The Walking Dead.

@fishymom I watched the first season of Outer Banks after my students (high school) convinced me I was missing out. I actually did enjoy season 1, but I'm having such a hard time getting into season 2.

@doxiemoxie212 I love Big Brother! It's my favorite guilty pleasure (I watch a lot of reality TV, mostly Bravo though). I'm actually really enjoying this season (the gameplay), but I'm not watching any YouTube videos lol


Right now I'm watching Heist on Netflix. It's a documentary-style short series about people who *almost* got away with huge robberies

queenklau

@fameonmain2, if you like the Heist, you would like Lupin (Netflix), it’s a French series about a magician also stealing/deceiving people. Really good.

@doxiemoxie212, during my maternity leave with my first & re-watched the whole greys anatomy! It was more of background TV, so I kind of agree that it gets pretty ridiculous.

We loved Schitts Creek, but I know many people that couldn’t get into it. 

I have been all about the Olympics and watching replays, I watched artistic swimming last night. I plan on trying to watch as many events as I can before they take them all down. Already did gymnastics, swimming and track and field, of course!

@FishyMom are you looking for comedy or drama? Some of our binge/rewatches that we have on repeat are things like Parks & Rec and Community. 
@monstera13 I really want to do a rewatch of Schitt's Creek. I loved it. 
@queenklau I've seen a few trailers for Lupin. I may need to check that out. 

I feel like I'm in the middle of watching a bunch of things. 

Recently we finished Ted Lasso on Apple TV, so good, I know season 2 started but we're waiting until we can binge several eps at a time. It is so great.

Happy Endings is now on Netflix (with the episodes in the correct order)and it just makes me laugh I'm in the middle of a rewatch. 

For drama, I just found and finished Criminal: UK on Netflix

 

shlecks

@loveanddatadriven Schmigadoon is fun!!  I've watched like 3 or 4 of the episodes. 
@Avrilmai LOVE Ted Lasso!

So yeah- Ted Lasso is one of our FAVORITES!  We kinda slept on it and then decided to watch before season 2 started and fell in LOVE.  

We've been watching Dexter- it's my first time, my husband has seen it - I love it.  

I just feel like I constantly have this backlog of stuff to watch.  IT NEVER ENDS

winterviolethope

I love most Real Housewives franchises -- especially NYC, the OC and New Jersey 
I watch BH but fell off of it 

Anyone love 90 day fiance and all their spinoffs? I'm obsessed and I just found out someone I work with worked on the show all summer so I'm DYING to pick his brain for the inside scoop.

I've also been watching Kevin Can F**K Himself which is really good and I love Annie Murphy (for all the Schitts Creek fans on here)

And The Bachelorette just ended but we were watching that too... hated it without Chris Harrison, but holding out hope for David Spade hosting BiP. An old co-worker of mine is also a producer on the franchise and our old receptionist is a contestant on BiP this year so should be fun to watch. 

I also love most Bravo shows -- Southern Charm, Summer House, etc. -- their seasons are over but I'm looking forward to Winter House coming out! I also know someone on that show too-- haha! 

queenklau

@winterviolethope, OMG I am with you on the 90-day fiance franchise! So trashy but amazing! Some couples crack me up, some I just fast forward. What do you think of Angela????

Happy to discuss further  

winterviolethope

@queenklau Angela is a piece of work hahaa
I'm looking forward to the spinoff with Big Ed! 
I also am very interested in how much Mike and Natalie seem to absolutely despise each other 

sarah0985

@doxiemoxie212 I love big brother!!!! My h hates it!!!

I love schitts creek as well. I’ve watched it probably 4-5 times. I just started one tree hill on Hulu. 

robbenson

I love reality TV to binge but I just finished The Sinner. It starts kinda slow but it is so good.
I've been watching Modern Family because it's funny and has a lot of episodes.
My husband and I did rewatch all of the Marvel movies in order so that helped kill a lot of time.
@winterviolethope I love the Real Housewives and 90 day fiance!

fameonmain2

@winterviolethope I watch just about everything Bravo! BH is my favorite on right now.

queenklau

@fameonmain2, sorry for being completely out of it but what is BH??? I feel super old.

fameonmain2

@queenklau haha no worries! I was referring to one of the Real Housewives franchises, Beverly Hills

shlecks

@winterviolethope YES THE BACHELOR FRANCHISE  I didn't even think to mention that.  I was and still am so confused by how this season ended.  Womp womp  But I live for BiP!  It's hilarious and I cannot wait.  The hosts they got are going to make it interesting.  I'm with you on missing ol' Chris though.  It won't ever be the same without him.

monstera13

Want to know my claim to fame? I want to college with Tayshia! I mean, we were just acquaintances, not besties or anything, but I still think that make me famous 💁🏼‍♀️ 😂😂

minnie_yoga_mama

If anyone hasn’t binged Survivor, I HIGHLY recommend! I had never even seen it before and hubs and I decided to start it from season 1. I don’t typically go for these kinds of shows, but girls, this one’s got me totally hooked!!! 😂 40 seasons will last you a while, and hubs and I love strategizing right along with the players!

Besides my obsession with Survivor, we typically go for reruns that make us laugh, like New Girl, Friends, Community, Chuck, or sometimes even something like Futurama.

Avrilmai

@minniecat Chuck! I need to put that on my re-watch list. 

sarah0985

@minniecat I love survivor! I binged it in the beginning of the pandemic. It’s so good. It’s on Hulu if anyone wants to watch 

doxiemoxie212

Oh yeah, very into Bachelor nation as well. I mean, I hate watch it. But I love to hate watch it. This season was so weird. I honestly feel like the seasons since Elan (executive producer) left have been really weird. Like they're always a little weird, but it seems like the goal isn't even to really have people fall in love at all anymore? It's almost more to torture them??

rbflei

Netflix: "Never have I Ever." Hilarious. I love that the narrator for the girl is John McEnroe. I never thought as an adult I'd laugh so hard about teenage angst. The new season is out and I devoured it. The creator Mindy Kaling is awesome.

HBO: The White lotus: that show was dark but equal parts compelling. I like borrowed my daughter's I pad so I could finish watching it with ear buds in so I could get to the end before bedtime. One season with resolution so be prepared for 6 hours to fly by.

Disney +: Loki. First off, I am not a super Marvel fan but I really enjoyed this series lots of twists it surprised me a few times.

fameonmain2

@rbflei I loved never have I ever!! 

MH and I are now watching Turn, soooo good. We are hooked 

miss_lynn9

@doxiemoxie212 I used to love Grey's until the original show writer left. Now I agree that it's horrible. 

 @monstera13 l could not get into schitts Creek. I did t find it funny at all. 

@shlecks   I love Dexter! I re-watched it after DD was born. 

@robbenson

I really liked sinner season 1. I keep trying to watch the 2nd season and haven't been able to get into it. 

Previous bindges: Money heist is definitely one of my faves. Workin mom's is so damn good. Dead to me, animal kingdom and life in pieces. Can you tell I don't like reality TV lol

My current bindge is blind spot. I just started season 3 and it got a little weird so we will see how it goes. 

SmashJam

H and I are currently binge watching The Boys. We just started Season 2 so when we're done we'll probably pick another super hero show, like Wandavision or Loki. We are LOVING The Boys. 

I've tried to convince H to binge Dexter because of the new one coming but he's not having it. 

Past binges have been You, Bridgerton, and I do love a trashy teen show like Reign and Pretty Little Liars. I need to do the Gossip Girl reboot, and possibly the rest of Pretty Little Liars. I stopped after they discovered who A was but I hear there's more now! 

Blondesweety444

I'm currently binge watching a documentary called Wild Wild Country. I'm not done with it yet, so TBD if I'd actually recommend it. So far it has captured my interest, but it is very very weird.

It's about a religious group (cult?) that took over a town in Oregon in the 80's and tried to work their way into taking over the state. Things get really really crazy. That's about all I've got for now though.

robbenson

@Blondesweety444 I watched that one. It's pretty good but gets weird in some weird ways.
