How about some television talk? I used to never watch television. Since my day job has gotten increasingly more irritating, I now find it as a way to unwind. But I am terribly picky about what I will watch. Have any suggestions on what I should watch? I'd love to hear them. Here are a few of the shows I've been watching (in no particular order):
Dexter: I was addicted to this show and so excited when the new season was coming. I mean, I had waited FOREVER!
Then slow start.
Then it seemed like it was going ok.
Then the ending :( May I just say I would have done a completely different ending and there would have been several more seasons. (How much trouble would I get in if I rewrote it?)
For Dexter fans, definitely have to watch -- it won't go the way you want, though.
You: One of my favorite creepy stalker, serial killers. No lie. I have been dying for the next season. I discovered it right before season 3 started. I watched season 1 and season 2 during a 3 day weekend.
All of it.
Every episode.
Yes, he's a bit creepy. But his twisted ways make for an interesting season. However, it seems 2 years are lapsing before a new season is available.
If you don't mind a bit of stalker creepy stuff - this show is for you.
Hightown: Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Amaury Nolasco is in this and I enjoyed his character from Prison Break (yes, binge watch that regularly as well). There are a lot of human people -- faulted people -- no happily ever after with perfect people everywhere. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the over-sexualized content with all the drinking and drugs -- but I love it. Finally, a show that shows people being people and not striving to be perfect. They go with the flow, make mistakes, suffer losses, and are imperfectly perfect. (Rumor is this is the final season)
Dahmer: Definitely creepy. But also really good. I binge-watched this over a weekend. The first episode (talk of smells and the icky mattress, dirty apartment, etc) was a bit gross and I wondered if I wanted to continue. I also know that I have seen on social media - more than a few times - that many didn't make it more than watching only the first episode. My opinion? Give it a try. Once those first few are over, it is really good.
Yellowstone: This is kind of a guilty pleasure -- being a ranch girl myself. I would work that show for free just to be able to ride horses in those beautiful open spaces again. If I'm being honest, I was late coming over to the Yellowstone hype. Four seasons were over when I got on board. What got me? 1883! Even after I waited weeks before jumping into Season 1. Now I'm dying for season 5. Rumor is season 6 is a go also. Have you watched?
Chicago Fire: I watched this the first 2 or 3 season and got annoyed with all the perfect people, all the understanding of how things just don't always work and pure acceptance of it. There is little fall out, though they do play the "hard to get people to stay together" line all too much. Case in point: Casey and Dawson, Casey and Brett. Need the relaxation and brain escape due to work, I did start over from season 1 and caught up and am watching season 11 as it comes out. Team Severide? Team Stella? Team Casey? Team Herrmann?
Witcher: I was ate to this show as well and honestly - f it ends like the video game (thanks to my boys for that spoiler) or the books (thanks Google), I won't watch the whole how. Season 3 - which I've waited forever for - is due some time in 2023. I do like Henry Cavill in this show (with the long locks) which is surprising since I'm not normally a fan. CAN'T. STAND. CIRI. But anyway, still a good show.
Seal Team: I've watched this since day 1. My guilty pleasure? I seem to be a die hard David Boreanaz fan girl. I loved him in Angel, loved him in Buffy, loved him in Bones (even watched that one horrible movie he was in where he was with a billion and two different girls). When word got out that Bones was in its final season I panicked. Once I knew about Seal Team, I was on board and have been watching all the seasons...which currently the season is going! Check it out (note: you will cry some too). (Rumor is the upcoming season is the last. Wondering what Breanaz will do next.)
Criminal Minds: I was super (and I mean SUPER) late getting on board with this one. I am at season 3. I just started binge watching this in September. Can I admit something? Spencer Reid's character is so incredibly smart that it actually makes him attractive. How odd is that? I have honestly never experienced that. Not ever. I find I am deeply involved in the show )other than Elle and Emily - ugh! just can't get into their characters, they annoy me) and each episode and try to solve before they do. How is the new season? I have quite a few episodes to go before I get there. I did kind of jump off the wagon here. I know so many are leaving. I think I'm on season 8 or 9.
Fire Country: I am now two seasons in (well 3 episodes into the second season) and I still don't know exactly how I feel about this show. The main character, I just really have a hard time liking him. For the record, I had the same issue trying to like him in Seal Team.
Chicago PD: It took me forever to get on board with this one because I have a strong dislike for all the main female characters they have, other than Platt. In the end (if you sang that - Linkin Park - we can be friends), I started binge-watching and I'm now on Season 10, Episode 11. I wish Burgess would go away. I'll just take Adam and toughen him up a bit.
As always I'd love to hear your thoughts. Leave a comment! Did you feel differently about a show I love? Do you have a watch suggestion for me? Do you have a topic idea for me for an upcoming post here? Let me know --let's discuss.
