BINGE WORTHY TV SHOWS

Hello everyone! For today's post i thought i would do something a little different and talk about all things tv shows, especially the ones i have been loving recently/been loving for quite some time. I mean come on let's face it we all love it when we find a binge-worthy tv show, perfect for either the evenings at home or at the weekend, don't we? Before i get into the shows, i thought i would just mention when it comes to tv shows i love a wide range of different genres (which i guess is the Gemini in me ha ha).


So i thought i would kick things off with hands down my favourite show at the moment, which is The Bold Type and it is currently in its first season (mid-way through). It usually takes me one or two episodes to get into a show, but with this show i was hooked from the start. I love how this show is a current day almost "sex and the city" vibed show, focused around three modern girls (and a magazine) in their 20's. This show is full of laughs, cry's, friendship, driven women and relationships, a perfect show which every episode fly's by super fast.

2. victoria and the crown (period dramas)
Next i thought i would share with you the show i am currently binge-watching and loving, as i am a season late on starting the period drama (which season 2 just started back on ITV). As i mentioned i love a variety of different show genres, period dramas and even more so now this one as fun fact i always love anything to do with Queen Victoria and her life. Sticking with the period drama theme, another show i was obsessed with this time a Netflix original series called The Crown. The Crown is all about the early days when Queen Elizabeth came to the thrown, you can binge watch season one on Netflix before season two which is coming this December.

3. teen wolf, shadowhunters and midnight texas (supernatural)
Moving onto the more "supernatural" tv shows i am obsessed with and are total binge worthy shows, kicking things off with Teen Wolf which is sadly on it's last remaining episodes but 100% a must watch show if you have never indulged before. You might think oh Teen Wolf that sounds light, which couldn't be further from the truth as the show always has you on the edge of your seat and your heart in your mouth from start to finish. Shadowhunters has a similar theme to it but this time featuring, shadowhunters and downworlders (aka werewolf, vampires, warlocks and faeries). Finally we have Midnight Texas, which for me has kind of filled the True Blood void (which i also recommend as it is from the same author) full of dark, southern supernatural-ness.

For me The Handmaid's Tale was one of those shows where i started to watch but was so confused about what was happening to begin with, yet i couldn't stop watching it and i was left feeling like i needed more after one episode had finished. This show is set in a society where not all the world is like this, yet they currently have no way out of it (the handmaid's that is) yet the main character Offred is determined to get out and you see her journey through her eyes, along side the other characters life's before this all happened. 

5. power
Moving onto Power which is coming to the end of it's forth season and is the best crime/drama show i have seen in a long-time (a perfect binge watch show at that). The main character Ghost is a successful night club owner who in-fact moonlights as a drug dealer and is a show where two different worlds a more upper class lifestyle mixes with a lesser class lifestyle. Each episode has new twists and turns, keeping you hooked every week. With the show being a crime drama show, a little warning there are one or two violent/gory scenes, especially one scene in-particular this season involving one of my favourite characters.

6. grey's anatomy and scandal (tgit shows)
Next is two shows that if you have never seen before i highly recommend you binge-watch them both, Grey's Anatomy is about to start it's fourteenth season at the end of next month yet it is a show that has yet to get boring or same-y each week, it is a show that will make you feel all the feels each week. Scandal which is going to be starting it's seventh and final season in a couple of months, but definitely one not to miss out on especially if you are a fan of shows such as house of cards and designated survivor (similar genre). I was five seasons late to the Scandal party and it ended up being a show i binge watched hard, which i am not ashamed to admit.  

Finally a type of reality tv that is my total guilty pleasure, in the form of The Bachelor and not just the regular Bachelor, i am talking The Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, The Bachelor AU, NZ all of them i just can't get enough and i am not even ashamed to admit it. I love everything about it, from the drama between the either guys or girls in the mansion, the cute guy/s and the kind of comedy element it has to it. I love to play a guessing game with who is going to get a rose or not, you can usually guess easily but sometimes it takes you by surprise.
