    anyone watching anything?
    I started watching Mozart in the Jungle and loved it so much we watched the whole series 1 in 3 days!!!
    I'm almost finished with Extant series 1 and like it but nothing to die for-
    Started Constantine and after seeing Keanu Reeves playing him in a movie, this guy in the series (and the writing/plots) didn't do it for me so I stopped-

    anything you guys are loving and recommend?

    We've been rewatching Parks and Rec on Amazon.

    That's really about it right now.

    I've found that I can watch YouTube videos through the Roku on the big TV and that is probably 90% of my screen time right now. We watch a lot of instructional videos, board game reviews (gearing up for a boardgaming convention this week and want to go in having a good idea of the games we want to play), battle reports for tabletop mini gaming and I've been watching a lot about decluttering and organizing lately. LOL our recommended videos section definitely shows the diversity in what we're watching..everything from gardening, to raising livestock, to scrapbooking (of course), diy decor, cooking and baking. That's just the stuff I'm watching..add DH and DD's interests and it gets really crazy...lol you name it, it seems we've watched something on it.

    Oh and lots of tours of tiny houses...it's intriguing to me. Some of the storage solutions that people who live in <200 sf come up with are absolutely ingenious.

    I watched Bloodline because of the actors/actresses, great ensemble cast...got totally hooked. I hope they continue more seasons. I also recently watched Surface (2005 sci-fi series) which I enjoyed, I don't know how I missed it if it was ever on TV.

    I just added this to my list--I love Kyle Chandler.

    I have also heard good things about Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

    I am still watching current shows, but those are all going to end soon and summertime is when I normally really start watching Netflix series--I plan to start a show called The Paradise then.

    We loved Transparent, it was awesome. We are holding out for season 3 of Orange Is The New Black to stream on Netflix, since they didn't release season 2 onto disc.

    We binged thru Parenthood during the winter break this year. . Still waiting for the final season to show up somewhere. . We liked seasons 1 and 2 of House of Cards, but season 3 was kind of a letdown. We just started Orphan Black on Amazon and are really liking it so far.. We also liked The Fall and The Killing on Netflix, but they're both pretty dark, so fair warning there. We've also started re-watching Alias and are finding it kind of entertaining to go back in time to see what "spy shows" could get away with in the early 2000s that totally wouldn't fly now. Oh, and West Wing is another we're wanting to go back to. . Phew!

    I just binged on the newest season of Royal Pains and Longmire on Netflix. I'm bummed I have to wait so long for the 4th season of Longmire. I binged on Drop Dead Diva's last season and I'm okay with that being over. The last season was not that good. Waiting patiently for Doc Martin to get another season in the can (they only make them everyother year). My husband and I watched The Office (U.S.) all the way through AGAIN. I wish Monk would come back on Netflix.

    I looooooved The Paradise!! So sad it only got 2 seasons.

    Burn Notice is a perennial fave for me (all 7 seasons are streaming on Netflix). Also love Doctor Who, MacGyver, and Firefly.

    I'm totally addicted to Netflix... it's only just launched here in Australia and I think it's the best thing since sliced bread! LOL I don't think we have the same shows as USA, which I'm slightly disappointed in but it's still awesome!

    As a family we are watching the new doctor who series (seven seasons) but I LOVE anything that is crime/thriller/syfy so what have I been watching:

    * currently watching The Bletchley Circle
    * loved Line of Duty
    * Luther
    * The Fall

    Now I'm going to search for all the ones you lovely ladies have shared!

    Went through all 7 seasons of Gilmore Girls over the past couple months. watching the newest season of Longmire now. My DH and I also watched the first season of Turn about espionage during the revolutionary war. pretty interesting.

    our family just finished Lost. really enjoyed that, but it took quite a while to plow through, only being able to watch 1 or 2 days a week.

    now the boys want to start The Walking Dead, since they've never seen it. So I guess that might be our summer series.

    My current binge watching show is The X-files. I too think it's totally interesting to watch now because it started in 1992 when cell phones were very new, computers were NOTHING like they are now and there were no digital cameras, etc.

    I just binge watched Hell on Wheels (loved it!), before that Ripper Street. Also Suits and Drop Dead Diva. Gutted that series 5 and 6 of DDD aren't available in the UK even on dvd :(

    Just started Constantine which I'm enjoying apart from John's accent which apparently is meant to be Liverpudlian. Hmmmm ...

    I actually joined Prime to watch The Walking Dead - I had series 1 from the library - just not got around to watching any more yet.

    Is there anything recommended for a bit of light entertainment like Drop Dead Diva? I started watching Weeds and wasn't enthralled at all.

    Me too!!! Since the X-Files is coming back (for 6 episodes in January, and I couldn't be more excited), I started back on Season 1 and am on Season 2 now. I'm glad I'm re-watching because I assumed I'd seen them all, but that was back before binge-watching, so I'm finding a lot of episodes I'd never seen. :)
