What I'm Binge-Watching - 1 July 2021

What I'm Binge-Watching is a weekly meme to document all of our favorite binging obsessions. Follow along and let me know what you've been binge-watching lately!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted for a couple weeks because I haven't been watching anything new-new but I have a special movie series to share with you this week as well as a few new shows I'm watching.

Current Episode: Season 1 Episode 4 - Birds of a Feather

Finally finished my last watching and I've started from the beginning. I always love the 2-part series premiere, The Murder of Sherlock Holmes and the episode I'm to now, Birds of a Feather is a fun one too. 

Current Episode: Season 2, Episode 2 - Family Dinner

I decided to give this show a second chance and I'm really liking it now!

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Current Episode - Season 2, Episode 1: Nothing But the Blood

I just finished rewatching season 1 of True Blood. I both enjoyed it, and at times found it a little boring. I forgot how much I loved Lafayette but my lust for Jason Stackhouse has cooled considerably since I first watched this show.

Fear Street 3-Part Horror Movie Trilogy 

Netflix is airing a three-part horror movie series this month inspired R.L. Stine's classic Fear Street novels. I was lucky enough to win an early screening of Part One: 1994 in an Instagram Giveaway and got to watch it Tuesday night. It was great! Scream meets Goosebumps vibes with a slight amount of gore. Part One premieres on Netflix tomorrow (July 2nd!) with Part Two: 1978 premiering July 9th and Part Three: 1666 premiering on July 16th!

There are a few shows I need to catch up on next week and a few I've tried this week to mention...

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 11 Episode 20 - Another Killing in Cork

Only one more season to binge after this!  

Current Episode: Season 3, Episode 3 - Daredevils!

Two of my favorite episodes are coming up this season and I can't wait to get to them.

 Current Episode - Season 62, Episode 111 

I got behind on Corrie again so I'm going to have to catch up next week. 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Current Episode - Season 1, Episode 4 - Escape

I was really looking forward to this but I'm not sure if I want to keep watching. You've got the main character who has a depressing home life who joins the game after her (white trash crack whore is what I think of her) mother steals $5600 of her money that she was saving to go on to school. Her best female friend who I wouldn't trust as far as I can throw her. The one hot guy (played by Jack Nicholson's son) who I can't tell if he's secretly good or truly bad. The other semi-attractive guy who's out for revenge. And the geeky African American guy who the main character is best friends with and secretly crushing on who I think might be a judge. It's not exactly unique. And the dares or whatever you want to call them are kind of stupid. Did I mention all of the teens on this show look at least 30?!

Current Episode - Season 1, Episode 5 

My mom started watching this on her own on Monday and we all spent Tuesday night binging the first 5 episodes. It's pretty good if I make myself forget that there is a British show called Broadchurch which is basically the same show even with the same lead actor, David Tennet. But it's holding my interest.

Just Added to My Watchlist

Current Episode: Season 1, Episode 1 - Strange Love

I've been wanting to rewatch True Blood recently. I never did see the last two seasons of the show.

What I'm Binge-Watching - 27 May 2021

What I'm Binge-Watching is a weekly meme to document all of our favorite binging obsessions. Follow along and let me know what you've been binge-watching lately!

Last weekend I binged almost all of a really great show on Paramount+ then Monday I caught up on one of my soaps that I've been really behind on...

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 10 Episode 17 - The Dying Game

I'm getting to the point where there are more episodes I don't like than I do like in this show, but once I get to the end I can go back and start from the beginning... or I could make that list I've been wanting to of my favorite episodes and just watch those.   

Current Episode: Season 2, Episode 11 - There's Something About Mira

I'm alternating between watching this and a few other shows before bed at night when I'm not reading or listening to an audiobook. 

 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Current Episode - Season 1 Complete

 My mom and I started watching the first season Sunday, finished it Monday and I'm hooked! It's witty, and dark and overall addictive to watch. I think season 2 will be a whole new cast and if it's as good as season 1 I'm excited. It kept me guessing what was to come.

Current Episode - Season 62, Episode 109 

I took a break from watching Corrie after Seb got killed off on May 7th. I just needed a break. But Monday I got caught up and out of all of it, it was hardest watching Nina. She's still my favorite character but watching Abi break into her and blame her that Seb died because of how Nina looks just broke my heart. I know Abi is grieving but it was still uncalled for.

Premiering May 28, 2021!

This is based on a book by Lauren Oliver, and while I have not read this one yet it's been on my TBR. If it holds all the twists of Broken Things then I think I'll really enjoy the show!

What I'm Binge-Watching is a weekly meme to document all of our favorite binging obsessions. Follow along and let me know what you've been binge-watching lately!

I have a few shows I need to catch up on and binge over the weekend as well as a mini-series I'd like to rewatch. Other than that, I'm still watching the same shows over and over again...

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 10 Episode 8 - Love and Hate in Cabot Cove

Yep, still watching. 

Current Episode: Season 6, Episode 2 - Gypsy Sisters Bridal Brawl

My mom and I have been rewatching this when we have spare time and we're down to the last few episodes. 

 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Current Episode - Season 2 Episode 3 - Psy vs. Pay

I'm back to watching Psych! I love this show and it's on my rotation of shows I regularly rewatch. 

Just Added to My Watchlist / Just Gave it A Try

Current Episode: Season 1, Episode 3 - Don't Worry, It's His Sister

I gave this show a try because every seems to have been raving about it forever and there's a book coming out this summer that sounds amazing and has Schitt's Creek vibes so I thought I'd see what the show is about. Honestly, I'm not sure I get the appeal. But I have a weird sense of humor and this just isn't hitting it.

Current Episode: Season 7, Episode 1 - The Party

I'm trying to figure out if the Hallmark Movies Now app has Good Witch on it because I need to see Season 7! Wish me luck!

I got a bit behind on one of my CBS shows so I caught up on that this week, while last weekend I mostly binged horror and lifetime movies with my mom. 

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 9 Episode 22 - Love's Deadly Desire

I'm almost done with season 9. There were some episodes I liked, some I only watched to get past them. Someday I'll have to compile a list of my favorite episodes... 

 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Bob Hearts Abishola - Season 2 Episode 18 - God Accepts Venmo

Including this week's episode, I was 5 episodes behind. I love this show but sometimes it's not on every week and I forget to check (since we don't have cable it's not as simple as turning the channel on Monday night at 7:30 to check.). This show always makes me laugh, I can't get enough of it. 

Current Episode: Season 62, Episode 97
This isn't really a binge-watch, I watch Corrie as it airs but I have to include it this week. Between the writing and the acting, the current storyline deserves some sort of award. (I live in the US so I don't know if the UK has some version of The Emmys). My heart broke for Nina and Seb and their families and friends over the past week. 

Just Added to My Watchlist

Current Episode: Series 1, Episode 1

I'm planning to rewatch this soon. My mom has never seen it and I really think she should!

Last week a major show I was looking forward to premiered on Netflix. I binged it earlier this week along with my other weekly binging.

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 9 Episode 1 - Murder In Milan

I'm looking forward to watching this episode tonight, it's one of the later episodes I really like. (Last season brought me The Witch's Curse, one of my favorites). This one guest stars Cesar Romero!

Shadow and Bone - Season 1 (FINISHED)

Was this show everything I was hoping it would be? Eh, that's a hard question to answer. The first 2 1/2 episodes kind of dragged for me before picking up at the end of the third episode then I could get into it. But honestly one of the major factors that kept me watching is the hotness that is Ben Barnes 😍 But I also really loved Jesper and Inej though. 

Current Episode: Series 1, Episode 3 -  Daguerreotype

I started watching this last week. I'm not loving it, but it's not bad. 

Just Added to My Watchlist

Current Episode: Series 1, Episode 1

I remember seeing previews for this when it first went on Acorn and I think I'll watch it after I finish watching Dead Still. Add it to my nightly rotation in between Midsomer Murders on Tuesdays, Corrie on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays, and adding Agatha Raisin back in on some day... perhaps Thursday.

Current Episode: Season 8 Episode 1 - Bite the Big Apple

Finally getting to season 8 and honestly I'm considering just going back to the beginning and watching earlier episodes but there are still a few episodes I love toward the end of the series that I want to watch. Season 8 is where Jessica gets an apartment in New York City and things kind of go downhill from there episode-wise. I prefer her in Cabot Cove over New York.

Current Episode: Season 5, Episode 9 - Care for Bear

We're back to watching this on the weekends when there isn't anything else to watch. They're interesting to watch, especially seeing all the weird things that pets eat, but sometimes you watch too many episodes at once so we have to take a break.

 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

The Disappearance of Maura Murray

I kept seeing this when I turned on the Peacock App to watch Murder, She Wrote and my mom and I binged it last Friday and Saturday. Since it is "the disappearance of" and not "the murder of" we're of course left with no resolution but it was interesting stuff. I honestly think Maura is alive out there not wanting to be found. She seemed to have quite a few legal issues and probably just wanted to start over somewhere else. But who knows?

Current Episode: Season 1, Episode 9 - The Long Shot

How well do you know me? Do you know that I'm a huge Alfred Hitchcock fan? Well I am! I've known about this show but it wasn't streaming on any of the streaming services that I use... until I started watching the Peacock app. I finally was able to watch a few episodes last weekend... and I'm a little underwhelmed. Some of the episodes are good, like Breakdown with one of my favorite actors from that time, Joseph Cotten while others, like the dreadful cowboy episode, Triggers in Leash were just plain boring. I'll probably continue watching when I don't have anything else to watch. And maybe plan a Hitchcock movie marathon day soon!

Just Added to My Watchlist/Waiting on Watching

Current Episode: Series 1, Episode 1 - Photochemistry

So I broke down and did a free trial month of Acorn TV. I was using FilmRise to watch Midsomer Murders but the commercials - that were skippy and never played right - were often spliced into random parts of the show, even mid-sentence which was driving me nuts! I've had Acorn before and always meant to watch Dead Still when I had it before so I think I'll give it a try this weekend. There's definitely more to offer on Acorn than BritBox so I might commit to a whole year subscription once my free trial ends!

Current Episode: Season 7 Episode 2 - Deadly Misunderstanding

I made it to season 7 but there are a still a few episodes in other people's perspectives. I might skip over those. 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

Current Episode: Season 4, Episode 1 - A Little Miracle

We haven't watched this for a while and we were uninspired with our tv binging last weekend so we spent all weekend binging the end of season 2 and all of season 3. 

Ed Gein: The Real Psycho

This was a one-off on Discovery+ but as a Wisconsinite I had to watch. Less than 70 miles from where I live Ed Gein lived and killed. He had two known victims, both women, and he also dug people up and used their skin to make furniture. This was an interesting documentary but I wasn't expecting it to have a ghost-hunting angle to it. It didn't take away from it, I just wasn't expecting it. 

Just Added to My Watchlist/Waiting on Watching

Current Episode: Series 1, Episode 3 - The Language of Flowers

So they took Midsomer Murders off BritBox (except seasons 19-21) but I have a year's subscription to the app that is non-refundable. I watch Coronation Street on it but it only airs 3 times a week and I'm all caught up. Oh - don't worry - I did find another app to watch older episodes of Midsomer Murders. Anyway, so I had this show on my watchlist. It's not bad. I've only watched a couple episodes so far. I still have a hard time not seeing Pam Ferris as Miss Trunchbull from Matilda though! 😂
