It's time for Let's Look... with Shay and Erika . This topic is very near and dear to my heart, LOL.... My favourite binge shows.
Here are my criteria for binge worthy shows.
+It has to be light
+ has to have little to no gore
+ can't involve too much grey matter as I watch it in the background while I'm in the kitchen, doing household stuff, in the gym or on the computer.
Also, I have the binge watching tastes of someone in their early twenties.#dontjudge
Some of my faves have included:
Downton Abbey
Oh I love Lady Mary and the gang... and was also infuriated by them. I got sucked into the pomp, circumstance, rituals and family sagas. It was such a different time!! Sidenote, we intend to re-watch this, this time with the girls when they get older.
Jane & The Virgin
Such a light, laugh out loud dramedy/telenovela about the three Villanueva women. I binged on this until Season 4 on Netflix - when a key character returned from the dead- then I waited for it to come out every week. Team Michael until Season 5 when I switched!
The Fosters
This was a wonderful family drama about the members of the Foster family, led by a lesbian couple raising 5 children. Not a light hearted show by any means but very current dealing with a lot of issues going on right now.
Parenthood
Can you tell I love the family comedy/dramas... The Bravermans are my favourites! Loved all the big family fun, the stories of each of the grandkids and kids and all those awesome family dinners.
Brothers & Sisters
Are you going to tell me stop already?! Loved this the first time around and really enjoyed it back on Prime Video again.
Honorable mention goes to Gilmore Girls, Party of Five and Call the Midwife (until season 3).
Sidenote, D loves Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, House of Cards and Dexter-- talk about opposites attracting, LOL!
So now that you know my viewing patterns, any shows to recommend? Do you prefer D's shows or mine?!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Parenthood is our favorite of all time. Bet we’d like The Foster’s too.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm with your husband when it comes to TV (except Downton!), not a big fan of those family shows from network TV. There are so many good things out there right now, it's hard to keep up with it all (and we don't even have Amazon Prime, I can't add more options).
ReplyDeleteI love The Fosters! Did you also watch the spin off, Good Trouble? It just had a season finale last week. I also loved Parenthood and Gabbie watched Jane the Virgin and says that I should watch it too.
ReplyDeleteOh how I LOOOOOVE Downton Abbey! I was SO sad when it ended, and am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a reunion or movie... something! <3

I prefer light and fun shows too. I just LOVED Downton and Parenthood. I am in the midst of Brothers and Sisters right now and really enjoy it. Have you tried Hart of Dixie?
