One of my favorite things to do is binge watch TV series with my husband. We’re always on the lookout for which show we should be watching next.
Of the ones we’ve watched so far, my very favorite is ‘LOST’. In my opinion, it’s the greatest show ever made and I do not think any show out there will ever top it. When we watched LOST, we would stay up on the weekends until 3am, just glued to the TV, it was THAT addicting!! I remember feeling sad when LOST ended, I was so hooked. 🙁
Although, I haven’t found anything better than LOST yet, I’ve found some other shows that have been great and entertaining! I really enjoyed ‘Breaking Bad’. It’s funny, because during the first episode, when Walter White is standing in his tighty whities next to an RV in a desert, I thought ‘nope, I’m going to hate this.’ I was wrong, it was such an amazing show!
After Breaking Bad, it was ‘Orange Is The New Black’. We liked it, but not enough to keep us hooked, we only got into the first season and eventually lost interest and moved on.
This time, we moved on to two separate shows! My husband is super into ‘The Walking Dead’, while I cannot be bothered. He says it’s because I didn’t give it a chance. I say it’s because ‘every time I look up at the screen, someone is getting an ax to the head!’ No thanks!
While he took up The Walking Dead, I took on ‘Nashville’. What a fabulous show! If you’re thinking ‘yeah, well, I don’t like country music…so I won’t like it.’ Not true, my friend! Yes, it takes place in Nashville, Tennessee, but the show is much more than just country music. It’s about love, loss, real life situations, the show has true feeling and it’s magnificent. I’m in love with that show and feel like I know the characters in real life. That show has me wrapped in a nice warm blanket, that I never want to get up from. I laugh, I cry, I relate. It’s wonderful, I never want that show to end.
While we simultaneously watch ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Nashville’ respectively, we also decided to take on a new show to watch together again. This time we chose ‘House Of Cards’. Choosing a series to watch together is weird. You can’t always choose based on your interests, because you will miss out on so much! I never thought I’d be interested in a school teacher that made and sold meth, but ‘Breaking Bad’ was incredible!
We basically were scrolling through Netflix and ‘House of Cards’ came up…and my husband said ‘I want to watch that’ and I said ‘ok’ and that’s how we picked! The first episode was ok, but I am a big Kevin Spacey fan, so I decided to give it more than just one episode to make up my mind. Last night, we watched four more episodes! If you haven’t seen ‘House of Cards’, it’s about what goes on behind the scenes in the political world in Washington, D.C. You see how dirty deals are made, and what people do when lots of money and power are involved. It’s a very good show, and I’m glad I decided to give it a chance. However, looks like there are only 4 seasons, and season 5 won’t start up until 2017…so, what show do we take up when we finish ‘House of Cards’?? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
