As of late, I've been struggling to find some good old me time, something we all need - especially after running round like headless chickens most of the week (or is it just me?) When I do get an hour or so to myself magically, I usually watch some of my favourite tv programmes, which I've included below. Some tv shows have a hype around them, others that are equally as deserving don't so I thought showing a few favourites in a post like this would be useful as I love finding new shows & getting gripped on each episode!
1. Broadchurch. I was seriously late on the bandwagon with this one, it was well loved all last year when it was shown and had everyone gripped but I didn't have the time to watch it from the start and didn't want to start mid season so I binge watched Season 1 online, before the second began (which was probably a better idea) so I was up to date and it was just as amazing! If you enjoy itv dramas, this is perfect or even just a good old who done it murder, without the gore and blood - definitely a must see!
2. The Walking Dead. Its amazing to see how popular this has become, I remember watching season one way back in the day and no one had really heard of it. If you like zombies, this is ideal, its also way more enjoyable than just zombies as you grow to love the characters and it has a focused plot as well instead of just guts and beheading the undead like some!
3. Awkward. This is definitely one of the less talked about shows but its a light hearted and humurous American show for teens that you can relate to, boys and girls. Its also a lot easier if you do struggle to find the time to sit down as the episode are roughly twenty five minutes compared to the usual 45 minute long programs and trust me, twenty minutes makes all the difference!
4. Gossip girl. An old favourite! I own series' 1-6 on dvd and recently I've been watching an episode or two before bed when I can or just if I'm feeling an early night - it never gets old! I love all of the characters to bits especially Blair and Chuck, they were just meant to be from the beginning, plus the fashion side of things in the show are always so on point! If you haven't watched any of these, you need to open up a new tab and do so now!
5. Pretty Little Liars. If anyone hasn't watched this, you've at least heard about it? (unless you live under a rock that is, its always twitter trending which speculations about A). Its basically four girls are manipulated and blackmailed by an anonymous 'A' after their best friend is kidnapped and to their knowledge killed and this mystery person seems to know all of their secrets & holds them all against them. Theres also some paranoia, cute male leads, love storys, the usual teenage drama and trying to keep themselves out of jail whilst trying to unveil who A is. Its almost the end of season 5 now and its getting oh so dramatic so I'd definitely give it a watch!
6. Revenge. Now I haven't watched the most recent series because if I'm honest I didn't know it was back on my screen (well technically American screens, I'm in time with them) but now that I know, I'm going to be setting aside time and binge watching them all. It basically focuses around the theme of revenge and all the lies and conspiracies that unravel in the process, with of course the odd love triangle here and there.
So thats the lot, thanks for reading, Jenny xo

Our taste in TV shows is pretty much identical! I love love love Broadchurch and Gossip Girl and I'm currently watching PLL - I can't wait to find out who A is! Once I've finished PLL I've got my Revenge box sets ready to start and watch. I also love a good comedy so will definitely add Awkward to my list of things to watch xo

Aw really? thats so cool, usually theres just a few of these that people have heard of! I can't wait for the new season of Broadchurch, it couldn't come round quick enough! Revenge is sooo good as well, definitely add it :) its a nice change x
DeleteI absolutely love the Walking Dead, the plot recently in Season 5 is getting so interesting! At the moment I'm watching Dance Moms but when I've finished it I think I'll start Pretty Little Liars or Gossip Girl because I hear people talking about them so often :) Really interesting post, I love reading lifestyle sorts of posts! x
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Sorry if I'm spoiling but that place they're at is too good to be true, somethings bound to go wrong, its just too perfect! I haven't see that is it any good? Yes, I definitely recommend those two, they're amazing :) thank you, I might make them a little more regular! x
DeleteWalking Dead is my favourite TV show ever. I love that it's way more than just zombies and it's so addictive. I'm on season 4 of Pretty Little Liars and I have been loving it so far, there's a cliffhanger at the end of every episode and I HAVE to watch the next one straight away! I did a post just like this not too long ago :)

It's one of the best definitely, yeah I like the way you love the characters and find out their stories etc! Oohh wait until season 5, then things start heating up even more! I know, I'm at the stage where I'm so up to date I have to wait a week before the next and it kills me a little! I'll pop on over and have a read :) x

From the ones you've said I watch Pretty Little Liars (one of my faves) and Awkward, I've seen Broadchurch season 1 and The Walking Dead and Gossip Girl are on my to-watch-someday list though I've seen a few episodes of both hahah And I've never seen Revenge, might add it to my list too haha And I watch A LOT of other tv shows because I have no life...
