What I'm Binge-Watching - 10 June 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!

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.

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!

What I'm Binge-Watching - 29 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!

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!

 

New Obsessions & Recent Binges

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.

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!

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! 😂

As new shows come on Discovery+ and I get back into watching some old favorites, I've had a really eclectic array of shows I've been binging lately...

Continuing

Current Episode: Season 6 Episode 15 - Fixer Upper

I love Murder, She Wrote. I watched it in reruns with my grandmother when I was a kid and I just never stopped. I stopped watching it for a while after my grandmother passed away in December but I recently dove back in where I left off. Season 6 isn't one of my favorites because this is the season where Jessica narrates some of the episodes, they're not really about her solving crimes and I find those episodes really boring, but I should be getting to season 7 soon!

Current Episode: Season 1, Episode 3 - Royal Beginnings

So... weird fact: my mom loves pigs. We have a pot-bellied pig along with the Saint Bernard and our four cats. So when we saw the ad for this show she definitely wanted to watch it. We've watched 2 out of 3 episodes and I really hope they make more episodes. It's kind of like Toddlers and Tiaras with pigs. 🤣

Current Episode: Season 1, Episode 11

Who doesn't love the 90 Day Fiancé world? When I saw this spin-off, The Single Life, I decided to check it out. Most of the cast are past people on the show I couldn't stand (Danielle, Colt, and Brittany I'm looking at you) but it's still interesting to watch. 

Just Added to My Watchlist/Waiting on Watching

Premieres: April 23, 2021

Only 2 weeks until Shadow and Bone premieres on Netflix! I've read the books and I'm nervous/excited to see them come to life on Netflix!

Season 4 Premiere Date: April 28, 2021

I have about 3 more episodes to catch up on before season 4 premieres on Hulu. I'm both looking forward to and kind of sick of this show. I wish we would be moving toward some kind of conclusion.
