One of my favourite things is to curl up on the sofa with an extra large fleecy blanket, boyfriend and a big mug of something hot and delicious to watch TV. I have a serious addiction to mostly American TV series' and I've been known to go through entire seasons in two days. At any one time I have a lot of series' on the go, feel like I've lost a personal friend when they end for the season or forever (I cried at the finale of Gossip Girl - for God's sake) and really, I get a bit too invested.
At the moment I'm watching Dexter, Supernatural, Game Of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Big Bang Theory, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Bones, Castle, The Walking Dead, Hannibal, Homeland, The Following and I'm just starting Bates Motel. That is not counting the TV shows I want to watch but don't have time for and the series' that I have loved and ended. I'm the same with films but that's an entirely new story.
So I stream a lot of TV shows and I love Netflix a little too much. I prefer the US version to the UK version and I have both through both my big shiny TV and laptop. Sadly my battered MacBook can't keep up with much anymore but but it does for the time being and watching things in HD? A whole new world.
With all time favourite shows like Buffy, Charmed, Firefly and Gossip Girl to keep me company it feels like revisiting friends, even if it's only on in the background while I'm doing something else. I'm aware I should be outside or doing something much more healthy than watching fictional characters play out written lives but I just can't help myself and with TV getting so much better now (don't get me wrong - there are still a lot of bad shows) I can't tear myself away for a few hours a week!
Are you unhealthily obsessed with one particular TV show/multiple shows? Let me know because I definitely need more TV in my life...
Ah I know exactly how you feel! I'm obsessed with Breaking Bad at the moment. It's an amazing show. I also watch The Walking Dead as well, and Castle and Hannibal are on my list to watch - I can't bring myself to start anything new until Breaking Bad is over because it's just too incredible, I'm slightly worried every other TV show ever is going to pale in comparison...x
ReplyDeleteI'm so obsessed too!! I'm a complete e4 girl! How I met your mother, Big Bang theory, new girl, 2 broke girls, vampire diaries, 90210, rules of engagement!! It's a never ending list!!!x
ReplyDeleteI know this feeling. I didn't have a lot to do during my first year of university so I became all too fond with TV shows I'd already watched a few times over. I love Supernatural, The Walking Dead, BBT, New Girl, Doctor Who, True Blood, New Tricks, Friends, Gavin & Stacey and the list goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I should be outside or doing something productive too, but it's so much fun watching episode after episode. I think I've lost the ability to be patient when it comes to the next episode!

I love a good box set! I'm in love with Dexter and can't believe it's finishing soon, what will I do??

I'm this person too. Absolutely. I broke my heart (and break my heart again when I re-watch) at the end of SATC, Lost, Gossip Girl and more. I feel like I'm losing friends or something. I'm currently obsessed with Breaking Bad. I have also been hooked on Dexter, Smash, Modern Family, New Girl...there must be others. I have the same problem with the Harry Potter and Twilight series (even though I know that Twilight is actually pretty crap). Boxsets are sort of a hobby.
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly getting more obsessed with TV programmes to the point where I'm binging them. I only started Gossip Girl maybe two months ago, and I'm already near the end of Season 4. I watched all of Orange Is The New Black in three days. Orphan Black starts on Friday and it's premiere is amazing. I need to figure out how to get US Netflix!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with you really. I watch a ton of shows and I always start new ones like it isn't enough! Right now my favorite will have to be The Walking Dead. I just can't wait for it to start :)

I think we all have an unheathy tv addiction. Every now and then I re-watch One Tree Hill, The OC and Gilmore Girls. I started watching Grey's Anatomy a few weeks ago and completely finished it all! I'd highly recommend those shows.
ReplyDeleteWe have such similar taste in TV shows! I'm currently watching Bones, Criminal Minds, 2 Broke Girls, Girls, New Girl, Game of Thrones, Gossip Girl and Big Bang Theory. Total TV addict here! I'm way too afraid that if I start a new series, I'll never see the light of day again! xx
ReplyDeleteHave you watched Orange is the new black? YOU HAVE TO!!!!! It is amazingggggg! Like so amazing x
ReplyDeleteI'm tv crazy! New Girl is back tonight and I am SO EXCITED! Other than what you have mentioned, I've been watching Pretty Little Liars and Hemlock Grove on Netflix! I also love The Vampire Diaries and it's starting back soon!
ReplyDeleteYay to awesome tv series!!...and Netflix lol :)
