What TV series' is everyone watching these days? Anything got you hooked? My boyfriend and I just finished up Game of Thrones and are excited for the next and final season but have to wait until 2019! What?!
 
I loved Orphan Black season 1 & 2 waiting for the 3rd season to come out on netflix but not sure it will here in oz.
Watched all the seasons on the Unbreakable Kimmy Scmidt while I was down with the flu, was pretty good, Also enjoying Santa Clarita Diet, only a few episodes in as I don't watch tv much at the moment
 
We're totally into all the "Chicago" series (Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Chicago PD). We also like Designated Survivor.
 
LOVE Heartland, even hubs asks when the new season is coming out. We actually got hooked on Gotham on Netflix, really out there especially for hubby, but weirdly fascinating. I love ARROW and looking forward to Bosch new season on Amazon. Hawaii 5O, mainly for Hawaii :cry
 
We are into all the superhero chows on the CW. There are so many now, it's crazy! The Food Network and HGTV are other favorite channels.
 
I binge watch TV shows on Amazon, Netflix and Hulu all the time. I love Castle, Bones and Nashville for the American shows, but my true guilty pleasure is the English murder mysteries.
  1. Foyles War (my favourite I think!)
  2. Inspector Lewis, Inspector Morse, Endeavour (which are sort of related)
  3. Midsomer Murders
  4. Vera
  5. Inspector Gently
  6. Father Brown (the new one, although the old one is good, it feels dated)
  7. Murdoch Mysteries (set in Canada late 1800s, fabulous)
  8. Miss Fisher Mysteries (set in 1920s Australia)
  9. The Crown (Netflix drama)
  10. Victoria (Masterpiece Theatre)
  11. Poldark (Masterpiece Theatre)

I became totally addicted to Nashville. Someone was buying the seasons on my Amazon Account and I could not figure out who for years and kept forgetting to try and trace it down. Turned out it was my son in England. So I started watching it and got totally addicted. Great music and wonderful soap opera-y drama!

I have also enjoyed "Once Upon A Time."

I only watch TV When I am doing something else at the same time, but it is amazing how much television I can watch while I'm doing something else. Plus when I broke my shoulder and ankle I was laid up in my chair for 6 weeks and totally binge watched!!
 
I am a fan of most TV shows from England Lynnie (I admit to being a bit deaf and struggle with accents but the British accent is easy on my Aussie ears:)). I loved Downton Abbey (and am currently re-watching it on DVD from the library), I loved loved Poldark (Ross is so EASY on the eye), also enjoyed Victoria, Doc Martin, Call the Midwives, Grantchester and many more whose names I cannot recall just now. I'm watching more TV at the moment as I am struggling to find any importance in the things I used to do. TV is providing a veg out distraction for me.
 
I'm watching Supergirl, The Flash, Supernaturals, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow, Riverdale, NCIS, NCIS New Orleans, NCIS Los Angeles, Bull, McGyver, Blue Blood, Hawaii Five-O, SWAT, Agent of Shield.

I just finished re-watching Smallville after a month and a half. Right now I am re-watching Bones.

I make sure to watch when I have the time to multitask, vacuuming while watching or cooking while watching, folding clothes while watching. As long as my husband and daughter are out. :)

I'm taking note of some of these that I haven't seen before. I love some British murder mysteries! Broadchurch is really good too, if you haven't seen that yet. Miss Fisher is a really fun book series too. :)

Oh Nashville... I can't watch it because it makes me shout at the TV. My husband does his Jen impression whenever anyone brings up that show "Nobody records albums in Murphresborough! Nobody!" :yell (Though Nashville has changed so much since I lived there that maybe they do record albums in Murphresborough now LOL)

I am a huge fan of those, too. If you have Netflix or Amazon there is a series called ****ensian, which merges all the characters from various ****ens novels into one seamless story. It is remarkable. I loved reading ****ens, so this series delighted me. It all centered around the concept that Jacob Marley was murdered and one of the characters from various ****ens novels was the guilty party :) It only stayed on for one season, but the characters and the costumes were delightful. (since the site is bleeping it out - he is the author of Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, amongst others)

I watch a lot of programs on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. I have no patience for television ads, so that is the only way I can watch. I also multi-task. I very seldom just sit and watch, unless I am trying to use it as a distraction, or a way of bonding with my grandson without having to make too much conversation (which is hard because he is on the autism spectrum).

Such an opposite set of programs to mine! I have the old McGyver on DVD and am binge watching Bones right now, but will have to try some of the other ones.

That is too funny. I got hooked on Nashville accidentally. I didn't think I would like it, but I do. I only started at the 3rd season, I think, because that was all my son had purchased, so I missed a bit at the beginning. Still, it is basically a country & western soap opera, so you can pick it up at any point and sort it out. There are a lot of characters on there, though!!

I am a HUGE fan of British television. It is mostly all I watch, although there are a few American shows I enjoy. Interestingly enough, I listen to a lot of audio books when I am driving and I can only listen to ones where the reader is English and does the accents. I have a few that are not, but I don't enjoy them anywhere near as much.

Just started watching Timeless... well, I am now on the second season. Son in England recommended it and am really enjoying it. Not an English show, though.

Santa Clarita Diet was entertaining but some parts were a little too gory for me lol! The husband is funny! Drew Barrymore does an awesome job also!
 
I don't watch any TV at all really, except the Aussie season of Master Chef and the Aussie season of The Voice (but only the blind auditions then I stop watching!) and I only like those because the judges are so encouraging! I'd sooner scrapbook or read! :) Having lived in Africa for several years I got out of the habit and when we returned was horrified at how much was on there that I didn't value...and that was just the ads. Hee hee! I'm glad you guys enjoy it but I don't get much scrapping done if I've got the TV on so I rarely watch anything. :)

I get so much more done when it is off - but I do find myself turning it on way too often when I am working on long projects. I think the noise helps me think, oddly enough, but only when it is noise I choose :)
 
With a toddler and a baby, we really can't afford anything serious and that would require concentration, so for now, we're reduced to watching Impractical Jokers. The guys are funny, though.
