There’s really nothing better than curling up on the couch and watching some good TV when it’s frigid & snowing outside! I wanted to share a few of the shows that Gary and I have watched, binged & loved!! After getting a new TV for the living room, we’re finally able to stream Amazon and can I just say they are rivaling Netflix in their original series’ and offerings!

Binge-worthy Shows
Binge-worthy Shows
Here’s the thing with binge-worthy shows – you get hooked and need to finish the season right then. That’s partly why if we get hooked on a show it has to be on Netflix or Amazon so that we can watch it on our own time & in one weekend if need be <– don’t judge!
- The Night Manager || Tom Hiddelston, formerly Hiddelswift, works as a night manager of a luxury hotel in Cairo. He gets involved with a woman who presents him with information about the sale of illegal items by a high powered British businessman. We went into this show blind & it was so good! There are only 6 episodes – what is it with the BBC and only giving us 6 episodes per season (cough cough The Fall)?! Regardless, if you’re a fan of suspense, Mission Impossible & Jason Bourne type movies, then you’ll really like this! You can watch this on AMC, Netflix or Amazon. P.S. Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie won Golden Globes for their performances!
- Schitt’s Creek || You can read about my thoughts on Schitt’s Creek here – it’s hilarious and you should watch it!
- The Crown || Are you royal family obsessed & a fan of Downton Abbey – then you should absolutely watch The Crown on Netflix. Gary and I finished the entire season in one weekend #noshame & it was worth it! Claire Foy won for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II and for good reason! How accurate is the show…well that’s up for debate, but since the Queen has reigned for 63 years I’m willing to bet we’re in for at least a few more seasons of this show!
- House of Cards || No list of binge-worthy shows is complete without House of Cards – I honestly think this is the one that started it all. If you haven’t watched this political drama yet, I’m so jealous because I wish I could start it all over. The official release date of Season 5 hasn’t been announced, but I’m anticipating it’ll be late Feb to early March!!
- Homeland || Gary and I have Showtime specifically for this show, that’s how much we both enjoy it. Season 6 of Homeland starts this Sunday after what feels like a really long time between seasons. I have to admit, this is the only role I’ve ever really liked Claire Danes in, she has played a bi-polar CIA agent Carrie so well that you can almost feel everything she is trying to convey in the show! Honestly at times this show is eerily scary with what it is going on in the world now, but that doesn’t take away from it being amazing.
- Breaking Bad || For years everyone was telling us to watch Breaking Bad and we didn’t listen! Then it came out on Netflix and we gave it a go – after about 30 minutes into the first season I said – NOPE – turn it off. A few month’s passed & we were looking for a show so we gave BB another go – thankfully this time I stuck with it and what ensued was the most epic bingeathon ever! Such an incredible show and the relationship between Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul was so interesting to watch.
- Baby Daddy & Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt|| If you just want to have a good laugh – these shows will do the trick and the best part is that they are about 25 minutes each so you fly through the seasons!
- The Fall || Definitely a thriller and if you’re anything like me, you’ll have your hands in front of you face for half of each episode. The only thing I would change about this show is that I wish there was more of it to watch. So far all 3 seasons are on Netflix…and Jamie Dornan although the bad guy is just way too cute…
Happy marathoning!! Now it’s your turn – I want to know binge-worthy shows you’ve watched and loved!!
You know me and the Mr. Love our binge series watching. We too have Showtime just for Homeland, lol. I must say Breaking Bad is my favorite if all time. Another fav that is a short 8 episodes is Goliath from Amazon. Billy Bob Thorton won a Golden Globe Sunday for the lead. I am bookmarking this because I have my eye on some now from your list!! Plus you look darling all cozied up!
I will definitely be binge watching The Crown the next time I get a day to do nothing! And I'm so glad to hear you didn't like Breaking Bad at first either but then got into it. I watched the first episode and was done and haven't turned it back on since. I guess I'll give it another go! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Friday Night Lights, Chuck and Game of Thrones are all binge-worthy shows for me!
I loved The Crown! Also The Man in the High Castle is amazing, I just finished season one. Travelers on Netflix is a total binge watch, as is The OA. Stranger Things was also really good, and I am just waiting for Game of Thrones and the Walking Dead to be back on.
So far I've watched the first episode of The Crown and really enjoyed it! I just have to make more time for tv shows like that. And ever since the GG, I've kept The Night Manager on my list, so I'm glad to know it's good!

We just started the Crown and we love it. We also loved Stranger Things and we are eagerly awaiting season 2. I was so excited to see both of the shows represented at the Golden Globes.

We loved Breaking Bad! So good! We are watching Cheers on Netflix and having fun reliving all the episodes we watched as kids with our parents ๐
I've heard great things about all of these shows… I just don't want to get pulled in to more TV! Trying so hard to read more and watch less, but at the end of the day, I just want to shut brain off!!
I watched all the Breaking Bad episodes when they were on tv and couldn't get enough… It's such an intense show, glad you gave it another shot! I need to check out the others ๐

Great recommendations! I totally want to watch The Night Manager, adding it to my list!
I hear such wonderful things about Breaking bad! my boyfriend binged it all in one month! I feel like I totally need to catch up with it! Such great picks! And you look so cute!

We were sort of the same way with Breaking Bad at first but once we got past the first 2 or 3 episodes we were so hooked! I'm convinced it might be the best show of all time! Have you watched The Killing?? Steven and I just started it and really like it! Very suspenseful!

I love when bloggers recommend shows!! Just started the Crown – excited to continue watching it ๐
I love reading about what shows everyone is watching! I will definitely have to try out Night Manager. That sounds really good! I'm with you on House of Cards! And I just finished The Crown over the weekend. Love that too! You should try out Bloodline on Netflix, Bosch on Amazon and I recently got into Divorce starring SJP on HBO (which we get through Amazon Prime).
Oh, thank you so much for these – I'll have to check them out. I'm always looking for good new shows to watch!
Amanda Kids and Cabernet
LOL… I haven't seen a single episode of any of these. WHO AM I. I'm hopelessly out of date on the shows I watch… which is currently Frazier. I don't even know why…
I want to live in the world of Kimmy Schmidt ๐
I cant believe as royal obsessed as I am that I havent seen The Crown yet.
OMG I must get Netflix and Amazon…don't have either! I am the only person in the world without Netflix! I have to wonder where you even find the time to watch TV? You are so busy! Also, you didn't list "This Is Us"……love it! xoxo catchatwithcarenandcody
I just finished The Crown last night, and already can't wait for season 2. I've been going through serious Downton Abbey withdrawals! I also can't wait for House of Cards to return next month, and we were thinking about re-watching Breaking Bad – so good! <3

I love a good binge-worthy show, but just haven't had the time to really binge watch anything. I haven't watched any of these shows! Definitely have to check them out — I did start watching Breaking Bad over the summer but haven't finished it.

First off, I LOVE your coach and pillows!!! The gold looks so beautiful against that shade of green and I'm also loving your marble tray, too! As for the shows, all of these sound like such great suggestions! We generally stick to Criminal Minds and Shark Tank, but I'm open to others and House of Cards sounds great, I've heard so much about it, but never watched, I have to! Thanks for sharing, beauty, these suggestions will definitely come handy, especially since they're saying it's supposed to snow again on Saturday? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far!
XO,

I have a lot of these on my to watch list! Especially the fall. I love a good thriller to overwork my mind. lol Perhaps I'll start this weekend!
ok I'm reallllly contemplating starting House of Cards and I think you just convinced me!
What a great list of shows! We watched the first two seasons of House of Cards and haven't had the time to catch up on the remaining seasons. It's a great show though. And I've heard to many good things about The Crown. Will have to add that to the list too!

The Night Manager is on our list– we're finishing up American Crime right now and want to watch the rest of the shows that have been nominated for the limited series. I'm soo ready for House of Cards to come back with a new season!
Ah I've been watching so much TV this winter – totally not like me but I just got addicted to West World { if you're into sci-fi/ futuristic shows it's soooo good!} Great post, lady!

Okay, I've got to watch The Night Manager now! I've heard so many people talk about it. Also, we set Homeland aside after watching several seasons, but I'm thinking we need to pick it back up again! Thanks for the list!
Definitely adding The Night Manager to our list, and we've been wanting to watch Homeland forever! Glad to know it's good. Oh The Fall … it was so good until the ending!
Nice post!!

I'm loving the Crown and we started the Night Manager and looks like a winner! I cannot wait until Game of Thrones starts again, I started loving that show through a binge watch. Chuck was one of my favorites as well as the OC, I need to add those to my list to watch again! You look so snuggly on the couch!
If you have Amazon you need to start Goliath! We're totally hooked!
I just watched the first episode of the crown! I am excited to start it.

The Crown is on our list and I'm so excited! I still have to finish Gilmore Girls, though!
I have one more recommendation for binge worthy . . . Travelers (it's Netflix series) It is sooo addicting! Totally not judging I hate waiting for shows esp when they are really good and leave you hanging.

I've heard about The Fall, but we haven't gotten around to watch it yet! I love James Dornan so I have a feeling that I'd love to watch it just for him! I remember seeing previews for The Night Manager, but we didn't set it up to record. I'll need to check it out since it's really that good!
Old news but I'm a big GG, The Good Wife, Madam Secretary, Downton Abbey and NCIS fan.
The Crown and The Fall were my 2016 favourites too ๐
The Affair didn't make the list? ๐ I CANNOT WAIT for Homeland to come back on! Quinn!!!!!! I am definitely adding some of these to our list!
Ooh The Night Manager sounds good!
I really want to see The Night Manager. Hubby and I just started watching GOT and we love it!

I love The Fall.
The Affair, House of Cards, Broadchurch!
I love cuddling up on the couch and getting lost in a series! I will definitely be checking these out. And, your living room looks nice and cozy. Loving your throw pillows! xo Beautifully Candid
I just recently got Netflix again, so I'm going to watch a bunch of these! I especially want to see The Crown and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
I am very excited for the return of Homeland….and also Scandal!!!!
Some great shows. I just watched the first episode of The Crown last night and I'm definitely hooked.
We have Amazon and Netflix and I never take advantage of the TV perks. I really want to start watching The Crown. My husband absolutely loved Breaking Bad and Homeland so I watch some episodes but can't keep up with all. Great shows to binge on!
Kimmy Schmidt is one of my favourites! It's such an easy show to watch. We have been loving Last Man of Earth and Blackish. I definitely want to watch The Crown when I have some extra time!
Evelina @ Fortunate House
Definitely adding these all to my list! we just started Orphan Black and I can't stop watching!

I was in love with House of Cards! Adding the rest to my list!
such a good list! you know i love the crown. and schitt's creek is SO funny. house of cards of course. you should add black mirror – i am addicted to that crazy show! you just need to watch something light after bc it's so mind bending ๐
xoxo cheshire kat
I've seen a few of these but not all of them! We are forecasted to get a foot of snow this weekend so I just might end up binging one of two of your favorite picks!
The Adored Life
I need to get back into The Night Manager–I watched one ep while blogging, so I wasn't able to really get into it, so I want to try again!
If you like Baby Daddy, then you've got to watch Young and Hungry! It's laugh out loud funny. I also love New Girl (even though I watch it on Hulu for current episodes)…and I LOVE Timeless on Hulu. I look forward to watching it every week with a glass of wine. I used my snow day to read and catch up on some books…it was SO nice. I'm so bummed we aren't getting any more snow in Boston soon. ๐
I spy some shows I have in my queue- The Night Manager and House of Cards, most definitely!

I'm guilty for not watching any TV shows (except the Bachelor of course) but these all sound like great suggestions! I've heard This is Us is a good one too?!
I love binge-watching shows! In fact, it's hard to go back to the old way. The Affair is really good & A Place to Call Home. I loved The Crown!!! Hope all is well with you. We've been MIA for a while now but hoping to get into the swing of things.

Oh I really want to watch the Fall now. I will add it to my list. Love House of Cards and Breaking Bad!
You just gave me some great shows to add… I am House of Cards OBSESSED. I can't wait for season 5. xx, I'm Fixin' To
House of Cards and Breaking Bad were so good!!! I haven't seen the others so I will have to check them out. Right now I'm binging Gilmore Girls from the beginning. I'm almost done with the 5th season. I wanted to watch them all before the revival because I missed a lot when it originally aired.
Lately I have been watching season 6 and 7 of Parks and Rec and season 3 of TVland's Younger
Such a fun post!
If you know my love of TV, you know I love this post ๐ I sadly abandoned House of Cards AND Homeland and I really, really need to get back into it – a binge is the perfect way to do it!
I am 2 episodes into The Crown and love it too!
