Calling all Netflix bingers...

I am a TV junkie… that includes all of the reality shows. I just can’t get enough of them. It’s one of the ways I just relax. When everything is crazy in my life, I can turn the TV on and become whoever I want to be. A surgeon (Grey’s), a member of a biker gang (SOA), a chemist (Breaking Bad), or even a woman in prison (OITNB). There are so many shows out there that you almost HAVE to have a DVR to live. (Dramatic much?) I mean who doesn’t? I find myself staying up WAY too late catching up on my favorites… so starting in July I have decided to detox myself and NOT have satellite anymore. I know people are probably gasping right now thinking NO WAY! I’m not even sure if I can do this without getting the itch of withdrawal, but I’m going to try. I’m going to keep Netflix though…. Come on! I can’t quit cold turkey! I enlisted in my family and friends to give me suggestions of shows to watch while James is away to keep me busy. Several of the shows I have seen or am currently watching.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS – Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Parenthood (My ALL time Fav), Grey’s Anatomy, Weeds, Big Brother, Amazing Race, Orange is the New Black, Switched at Birth, The Foster’s, Friends, Dexter, House of Cards, Homeland, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead. I also watch any and all Documentaries. I have probably seen every single one about prison! Ha!

If you are looking for a new show check some of these out. I decided against compiling them into one list because you’ll get to see just how many people are suggesting it.

Up in my queue for deployment: Hart of Dixie, Scandal, Sex in the City, Downton Abbey, Pretty Little Liars, and Once Upon a Time, Glee and Modern Family.

Here’s what my friends are saying!

Victoria – Grey’s anatomy and Friends!!!!

Kristin - Grey's, Parenthood, Desperate housewives, Criminal minds (although I can't watch that one alone!), Revenge, Scandal.

Zachary - Friends, archer, supernatural, parks and rec, bob's burgers, Family guy, American Dad, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Arrow, S.h.i.e.l.d., and Heroes.

Courtney - Scandal is a good show!

Nicole - Revenge, Scandal, Hart of Dixie, Nashville

Kayla - I started once upon a time when Chris left... House of Cards, Californication, Orange is the new Black, Revenge I love too.

Holli - I've noticed that anytime Dave is away for anything, I watch a lot of The Unit. Love that show!

Cathryn - Breaking Bad and Arrow.

Paula - Revenge and Nights in Rodante!!

Heather - Dexter, Once Upon a Time, Raising Hope, and Hart of Dixie. I usually try to stick to light hearted shows while James is away. Sherlock is a good one too.

Tasha - Supernatural. I'm stuck on those right now hahaha.

Chelsea - Once Upon a Time, Hart of Dixie, The Foster’s, Melissa and Joey, Breaking Bad, and Switched at Birth.

Brittney - I caught up on Once Upon a Time, Grey’s, and Walking Dead. We have watched Weeds and Jericho too. I love the foodie stuff too.

Ashley S - Loved breaking bad, the following, house of cards, orange is the new black. Netflix binges are my guilty pleasure! Oh, definitely The Walking Dead if you don't already watch. And trust me, I am NOT a zombie show person at all. It is soooo good! Seriously.

Deana - Dexter, Once Upon A Time, Bones, Walking Dead, The Following, House of Cards, Haven, Vampire Diaries!

Kathryn - When Joey was deployed I would binge watch anything that made me laugh.

Suki - Revenge, Scandal, Hart of Dixie, Nashville, Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Fire, Bones, Parenthood, Walking Dead, SOA, Breaking Bad, and Private Practice.

Meggan - Orange is the new black, House of Cards, Scandal, Revenge, Glee (don't laugh), Breaking Bad, and Dexter.

Elizabeth - Definitely Scandal! And Game of Thrones! Okay, stop right now - if you haven't watched Sex and the City do that first!

Adrianna - Documentaries...oodles and oodles of Ken Burns, PBS, Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey...

Anna - Sex and the City, Friends, Grey’s, Desperate Housewives, Good Wife, Bachelor, Survivor, and Parenthood. Oh, Game of Thrones too, and Vikings!

Jennifer G - Sons of Anarchy is my favorite show ever! Breaking Bad is really good too, but now that I think about it, you probably want something happy to watch. If you haven't seen Sex in the City, watch those! Or Modern Family and The Middle are both hilarious. Watch Modern Family when he's gone! It will make you smile and laugh. So super funny! Promise!

Jennifer C - I watched all of One Tree Hill while in Korea it was good, Dawson's creek, and Sex and the City.

Summer – Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Scandal, Private Practice, Sex and the City, and I’m trying to get brave for the walking dead!!

Kristin - State of Affairs. Madam Secretary. Any of the Gypsy shows on TLC. Dance Moms. Sister Wives. Cutthroat Kitchen. Guy's Grocery Games. Survivor. The Amazing Race. Hardcore Pawn. Impractical Jokers. Lockup on MSNBC. Shipping Wars. Allegiance. The list goes on and maybe I need to rethink how much TV I watch!

Sharon – We watch all of the NCIS shows, Bones, Castle, Grimm, Scorpion, The Voice, So You Think You Can Dance, and Don watches all of the crime shows. I also like all the “feel good” movies on Hallmark and Life Time.
