Battle of the Binge

[Philpug]

What are soem of your favorite shows to binge watch? Thanks to channels like Netflix we have the chance to binge watch countless shows. Right now we are foing back and watching The West Wing (we just watched Sports Night), yeah we are Sorkin fans. Other shows that I have binge watched...

Shameless
Orange is the new Black
Weeds
Daredevil
Sopranos
Dexter
Six Feet Under
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
The Newsroom
Big Love

Shows I never got into that I hear are great:
Game of Thrones
The Wire
Breaking Bad (watched the first season, lost interest)

What are some of yours?

The Tudors was excellent if you like historicals. And it dovetails with the thread on How much risk is too much.

 

[Don in Morrison]

Only binge I tried was several years ago with Jim Henson's The Storyteller. Got about halfway through it and then life intervened. When I finally got around to trying again, Netflix didn't have it any more.

My wife is binge watching Jane the Virgin. But for us that means about 2 episodes a night.

I have kept up with game of thrones and Dr. Who.

 

[markojp]

'The Last Kingdom' on Netflix.

 

[markojp]

Euro crime dramas... MI-5 is great! There's another one with Helen Mirren "Prime Suspect", the Swedish series 'Wallender", and the French series "Spiral".

 

[fatbob]

Hope you watched the original Shameless not the William H Macey one. Good though Macey is I could never get over it being him acting compared to David Threlfall who is Frank Gallagher.

Silicon Valley is very good. Kinda got into Ray Donovan recently as was suffering Game of Thrones withdrawal. Billions was a good not too serious watch.

 

[Jerez]

Foyle's War.

 

[Jerez]

Have to confess to currently watching Brain Dead. Now we have an ant infestation that's so bad it looks as though it snowed in our bedroom from the "fraz" or micro sawdust. Coincidence??? Akkk.

 

[Josh Matta]

Stranger Things


Hands down the best show of this year.


Arrested Development "I blue myself"
Firefly
best Theme song ever
Buffy
Battlestar Gallatic
South Park
Star Wars "the clone wars" hands down the best political shows ever written.


I would go so far to say that the clone wars cartoon series is better than any of the movies including 4,5 and 6.

Rebels is good but for sure a younger audience than "The Clone Wars"
Initial D - best car geeks cartoon ever.

Avatar "the Last airbender" ... need to watch the sequel.
Doctor Who Eccelston is by far the best.


Currently binging Parks and Rec

We've randomly hit upon a Netflix series called iZombie. It's more entertaining than you'd think. We've only seen like 3 episodes, though.

 

[Philpug]

Oh, Top Gear.

Dexter is the ultimate binge watch.

I couldn't get into Game of Thrones either. But Breaking Bad! Best ending to a series ever. Just right. Not too hot, not too cold. Dramatic, but right. Just right.

Marco Polo
Sense8
Gran Hotel (Spanish w/ Subtitles)
Spiral (French w/ Subtitles)
Orange is
House of Cards

Just discovered Alpha House. Silly, but more entertaining than reality in this election year.

House of Cards too, but U.S. one

Best end of a series? Newhart Show
Worst end? Sopranos.

 

[bbinder]

Star Trek Voyageur

Star Trek Voyageur

I was more of a Next Generation fan, I never really bought Janeway.

 

[markojp]

House of Cards too, but U.S. one

Best end of a series? Newhart Show
Worst end? Sopranos.

Newhart ending was a classic... maybe the best ever.

Newhart ending was a classic... maybe the best ever.

I just watched it again. I was shocked to see who played Michael & Stephanie's 5 year old daughter..shocked I say, shocked.

 

[Tricia]

@Philpug , you forgot Rescue Me.

 

[TexasStout]

Would echo these already mentioned:
Breaking Bad (got better each season, IMO)
Sopranos
Daredevil

add:
Band of Brothers
Mad Men
