I'm embarrassed at how giddy I was during the opening scenes of A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV. If you're not following it, HGTV bought the original Brady Bunch house in Studio City, California. It was only ever used for exterior scenes, but HGTV's top designers are remodeling it to match the show's original sets. They're doing it with the help of the cast members, and people all over the country who searched their attics and garages for furniture and knickknacks from the time period. I can't believe how much I'm enjoying it! LOL
I hear season 2 of Mindhunter is good on Netflix, but it's hard to go from feel-good decorating fluff right to serial killers.
My husband and I are LOVING Mindhunter Season 2.
We are also watching the last season of Orange is the New Black. It's VERY political. Lots of commentary on the jail system.
We are also watching Arrested Development and The Fosters on Netflix.
Parenthood just got released on Prime TV so we started that as well.
The Breaking Bad movie El Camino on Netflix made me so very happy. It's definitely not a stand-alone movie, more like a two-hour episode. To get two more hours of my favorite show was a gift! I may watch it again.
I just got into watching Evil on CBS. I don’t watch a lot of network dramas these days, but it’s just fun, and riffs on one of my personally favorite topics (rational explanations for crazy occurrences vs supernatural ones).
And I finished season 3 of Atypical . Loved it, though I think season 2 was stronger. But it all came together wonderfully, and I do hope they return for another run.
It was a long haul but I FINALLY finished Pretty Little Liars. I wanted to give up on it a few times at the end. It started taking some weird twists and plot lines that I didn't really like. Honestly, after watching the whole thing, I feel very strongly that they should have ended it at least two seasons before they actually did.
I have one more episode of Suits to watch. My husband and I originally started watching it together a while ago. When it started getting too unrealistic, as most shows do, my husband abandoned it and I started watching it on my own. I don't love where it's gone, but I also don't hate it. I'm glad but also sad that there is only one episode left to watch.
I don't know if I already knew that the 3rd season of The Amazing Mrs. Maisel was out or not. I feel like it must have been mentioned at least once or twice here. Anyway, I saw it on prime earlier this week and got super excited about it. I'm about 3 episodes in and laughing my head off all through the episodes.
Does anyone else still watch Grey's Anatomy? I still really like that show. There have been times when I've wished they'd end it, but they always make up for it with a great show or something and I get sucked right back in.
i love Grey’s Anatomy. I may have missed the latest season but I’m going to go check now. I was pretty attached to the original cast of characters, but I still enjoy the latter episodes too. Also, I agreed on Pretty Little Liars.
I wrote in my own journal a bit, but the shows I recently finished being hooked on are Black Mirror, Atypical, and The Good Place. Oh, and I finished the first season of Sex Education. Some of it was slightly over the top, but there were also parts that made me laugh out loud and cry.
we love Black Mirror for the most part. Every once in a while they have an episode that's just "meh" for us, but overall, we love it.
We are also big fans of Atypical. We really liked the most recent season.
We really like Sex Education. We are on the most recent season (Season 2 I think?).
I'm not sure how old or new it is, but has anyone watched The Stranger? I found it on Netflix and the first few episodes have been great, I'm totally hooked.
I totally binge-watched the entire thing in just a few days, and I loved it until the very end. Relationship drama+psych thriller/mystery are my genres of choice so it was perfect for me, but if you didn't get into it right away maybe it's not worth it for you!
and @melissa.stokes I don't easily get hooked on TV shows very often, but The Stranger totally did me in! I normally never watch TV without my husband but I went off into abandonment with this one. :-D Harlan Coben also did the TV show "Safe," which was a similar style and equally as good.
The one show I gave up on was the second season of You. It was a total snooze fest for me even though everyone said to keep watching. Now I'm enjoying "Cheer" and the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Did anyone watch Schitt’s Creek? I’d forgotten about it but I just watched the 4th and 5th seasons. I don’t want to spoil anything just in case, but I actually cried at the engagement that happened at the end of season 5. I find all the main characters really engaging and endearing, and I appreciate the way they all have quirks and issues but care for each other despite, like a weirdly good concept of how family and friends should work.

I watched the first episode the other day, but it didn’t grip me so I wasn’t going to keep watching. Do you think it’s worth continuing?

I love Schitt's Creek! I'm only on season 2, though :)
We also love Schitt's Creek. It's hilarious!
