That's it really. I enjoy a good binge watch every so often. DC all all school / nursery. I've done all house work, have dinner on the go.
Now I want to lounge on the sofa with tea and biscuits, and indulge in good telly.
I liked GoT, Dexter (first half only) , Desperate Housewives, Prison Break, Walking Dead as examples.

What should I watch MNetters?

Do you have Netflix? We've just watched Stranger Things which was brilliant. I splurged on the ER box set not too long ago and have yet to have enough spare time to actually watch it, I can't wait though. That'll take me years to plough through

American Horror Story is good (apart from the newest season).

Have you seen Breaking Bad?

Ally McBeal if you like a throwback.

Footballers wives is cheesy and fun.

Orphan Black is gripping.

The Affair for a slightly shorter binge watch - 2 seasons, 12 eps I think
The Night Of - only one season

Body of Proof
Elementary
latter two having a wee bit more humour!!

Halt and Catch Fire, all three seasons on Amazon Prime.

And Pushing Daisies is an oldy but a goody, only two seasons, but two seasons of joy and quirkiness.

Both star Lee Pace which has absolutely nothing to do with why I love them, oh no.

If you have Netflix, the expanse is really good. Plus series one of Poldark is on there now.

Justified (Boxset on BlinkBox) is a fantastic show too.

The good wife is fab!

Offspring on Netflix is amazing Smile the characters build so nicely, like Friends did.

Dedicated survived is also great.

Pushing Daisies I think you'd have to buy on dvd as its quite old. I think you can get some tasters on YouTube.

The Killing is very good. I'm watching the US version but I've heard the Danish version is also good.
