TV Time

I am the biggest advocate for reading and not spending too much time in front of a screen. However, I know first hand that there are times where you just want to get lost in a show. Here’s a list of shows I enjoyed marathon watching and deemed worthy of hours in front of the screen.

1. Grey’s Anatomy: While yes, it can get pretty crazy and weird at times, I started this show late in the game. In about a year I was able to watched 8 seasons and finally catch  up to the current season (at that point it was season 9). I haven’t stopped watching since, and there are so many plot twists and character developments that you just have to keep going. Confession: I’ve watched seasons 1-9 twice and I’m not ashamed!​​

2. Gilmore Girls: This is not for the ‘I don’t want to pay too much attention to the screen’ people. Gilmore Girls is a show you have to pay attention to or you’ll miss the witty puns that make the show what it is. I have now seen the entire series twice, once when it was airing on TV and again very recently and loved every minute of it.

3. Westworld: While this is a new one, the episodes are long and intricate, so before they announce another season I suggest you catch up on this one here. If you need a debrief afterwards, don’t worry -- we all did.

4. Bob’s Burgers: Not your typical binge show (since you can pick up at any moment throughout the show), sometimes we need a break from all of the drama tv. Louise, Gene, Bob, Tina and Linda will have you laughing and ready for the next adventure.

5. Power: This show is dirty, suspenseful, sexy and beautifully shot. It took me a while to sit down and watch it but once I started I couldn’t stop. If you’re looking for something with some grit, hop on the Power bandwagon there’s plenty of room for more.

What are your favorite shows to watch back to back? ​
