What I'm Binge-Watching - 22 April 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!

Continuing


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!

What are you currently binge-watching? Will you be watching Shadow and Bone when it premieres tomorrow? What are some of your latest obsessions that you couldn't get enough of? Let me know in the comments!
Happy binging!
