I swear, all I want to do after the hubbub of the holidays and before the first warm days of spring is to hunker down under blankets in front of the TV.
Like many of you (as I gather from Instagram), I’m positively giddy about the return of Downton. I love that Edith is coming into her own but worry about Lord G. Daisy and Mr Carson are driving my crazy. And I still adore the Dowager. I am in a sort of denial that it’s the last season. Sigh.
Also on PBS, I’m counting down to the series premier of Mercy Street. (Based on real events, Mercy Street goes beyond the front lines of the Civil War and into the chaotic world of the Mansion House Hospital in Union-occupied Alexandria, Virginia.) It starts 1/17!
I’m currently in the throes of Making a Murderer on Netflix. I don’t have an opinion yet. If you aren’t watching, give it a go. It’s good but I might be in the small slice of America that doesn’t LOVE it. I honestly find it quite sad. As a total aside, my very favorite true crime story is that of Adnan Syed. You can find out more on my post about podcasts here!
As far as my regular shows, I’m catching up on some and waiting on others to come back. These are my faves…
Vampire Diaries – comes back late this month. I can’t stop won’t stop my young adult shows.
Pretty Little Liars – the girls have hit the five-year fast forward button so now it’s not so odd that I love this show. Oh wait… yes it is.
Reign – rounding out my teen drama trio, this show actually got me to obsessively google and learn all about the real Queen Mary. That’s pretty impressive for the girl that nearly failed history in college.
Once Upon a Time – I watch this one with John now. He thinks he’s a big kid and I love any excuse to snuggle with him in my bed once a week.
Stitchers – the other show I watch with John. We blew through season 1 and loved it! It seems it’s been renewed and we are both looking forward to it.
How to Get Away with Murder – this one is back next month. A rare show Honey and I both enjoy!
Speaking of Honey and TV, I have asked him to write a little post for y’all about cutting the cord on cable and how he has us set up to watch all these shows. Stay tuned!
And, before I get a bunch of questions about when I have time to watch TV, here it is… I binge watch TV just like I binge read. When the urge strikes, I stay up late and watch a whole bunch. I’m very rarely current on any show (other than Downton and Once Upon a Time since I watch that with John). I usually do one season of one show at a time. Sometimes it takes a week and sometimes it takes months to get through.
Now, what are y’all watching???? (As if I need one more thing to add to the lineup.)
