NPR: Favorite shows/need recommendations for binge watching

MrsSarahRenee · April 2014

I have April vacation! Wahoo! I just finished Bones binge watching on my last break and I need a new show...

I watched the first episode of House of Cards and hated it...

I am thinking orange is the new black? Other recommendations?

OITNB is fantastic!! I tried House of Cards-couldn't do it ha

I thought the first season of Helix was pretty good, its a syfy show.

I am currently watching Royal Pain on Netflix. I was not sure of it, but it kinda reminds me of a blend of Gray's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls.

Also, once up on a time and if u like pbs type shows- call the midwife

Suits is awesome!
Weeds or Dexter if they appeal to you (I love both)
United states of Tara was good
And if there's a teenage girl inside you, pretty little liars or secret life of the american teenager

Orange is the new black and Grey's Anatomy!

femail · April 2014

Orange is the new black, weeds & breaking bad!

Maggie6424 · April 2014

Oh and walking dead. I am addicted to that show!

MrsSarahRenee · April 2014

@Sockgnome78‌ Those are my two favorites!!!! Oooh!!

You all have such great ideas! Now how to choose

)) thanks all!

MUBride23 · April 2014

Orange is the new Black

The Good Wife

melszum · April 2014

Orange is the new black is the best!!!!

sharksfan · April 2014

Justified.

The first four seasons are free on Amazon Prime, and Timothy Olyphant is HOT!

@Maggie6424‌ I am so guilty of watching PLL!!!

MrsSarahRenee · April 2014

@ladolcevita25‌ @Maggie6424‌
Is it entirely pathetic that I had to stop watching that show cause it gage me nightmares???
So clearly Walking Dead is out too...

ladolcevita25 · April 2014

@MrsSarahRenee‌ oh gosh!! Sleep is high priority at this time!! It's ok you can skip finding out who A is LOL. I actually got nightmares from the first season of American Horror Story and would bug out if I was home alone LOL.

DaniW1984 · April 2014

Agree with Orange, would also second Suits, also The Good Wife & Lost (old but on netflix).

MrsSarahRenee · April 2014

@ladolcevita25‌ yeah the title of that one kept me from ever attempting it... American HORROR yeah no thanks!

I might go back to PLL now that DH is home at night. Creepy noises in the night might not make me as upset...

persephonerose · April 2014

Don't watch Helix if you get creeped out easily. I didn't watch AHS at all because of that.

White collar was fun and Matt Bomer is nice to look at.

AlphaSierra · April 2014

Revenge!!!! I've never gotten so hardcore addicted to a show like I did to Revenge!!

rosalie12 · April 2014

Just started watching Parenthood & I love it so far! Also try Scandal!

pushgal84 · April 2014

I second pretty much everything PP have said

Esp The Wire, OITNB, True Blood, Breaking Bad, Downton Abby and Weeds.

I'll also add Firefly, Mad Men, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

If you're looking for something quirky and into British shows, give Peep Show a try. There's several seasons on Netflix streaming. I've watched the entire series twice (very unlike me to watch anything more than once). Once by myself, then all over again with DH after he caught a few of the episodes I was watching and wanted to watch it too. Really funny.
