So I was down with some funky bug this past week which meant that my productivity took a nosedive
but my TV watching increased exponentially. For most of the evenings, I posted up on the sofa with a big fleece blanket and the pups and caught up on a ton of shows that came out this fall.
Overall impressions:
I know this show gets flack sometimes because it went through a decidedly unfunny period but the end of last season and the beginning of this season (so far) are as good as the series in its prime! Besides, truthfully, I never stopped loving this show. I've got a thing for crazy, quirky families.
I'm admittedly a BBC fan girl and have been watching the Doctor Who reboot for a few years now. I found the first few seasons on Netflix and it's spiraled into the obsession it is today. I
love how sassy this new Doctor is though this season has sort of thrown me for a loop. I have faith in Peter Capaldi, though. You show those aliens who's boss!
GUYS. This show. In the spring, I went through a rough time and my friends decided I needed a distraction. Enter Empire. It was perfect because it was out-of-this-world dramatic and addicting at the same time. Season 2 has not disappointed. Plus the songs are pretty catchy, too!
Another accidentally-found-it-on-Hulu-now-I've-finished-the-season-what-is-life type shows. It's hilarious and adorable :) A rare combination for the CW. 10/10
I still need to catch up on the last season, so I haven't started watching this one, but the need to know what is happening with the great Olivia Pope is eating at me. For those of you who have seen this season so far, how is it??
Shows I'm Keeping Tabs On:
Heroes Reborn, Scream Queens, and Fresh off the Boat. I'm planning on catching up (or starting in some cases) on these as soon as more free time opens up.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions to add to my TV watching queue! I'm always on the lookout for new shows to take on :)
I love Modern Family! Oh my gosh I have been debating whether to get into Empire and you have most definitely convinced me - so excited to watch it now! :D

I do too! I can't wait to see what happens with all of the characters! And I would recommend it :) It's definitely outrageous as far as shows go but it's got such good music and it's so addictive!
DeleteI'm a bit of a tv fanatic so I've been spending the past couple of weeks catching up on my favorite shows. Scream Queens is hysterical!

Ah, that's so good to hear! I keep seeing it advertised on my Hulu and I've been wondering if I should just block off an evening and watch. I'll definitely check it out!
DeleteI have to watch Scream Queens when my husband is gone. It is hilarious but he sits there and rolls his eyes the whole time......softball nights are my catchup tv time ;-)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, I don't think J would like it very much either but I've heard such good things about it, I'm excited to watch!
DeleteI just started watching Jane The Virgin on Netflix! I'm on episode 10 or so. I had no idea what a good show it would be! It's so cute.
ReplyDeleteI loved Heroes, so I'm watching Heroes Reborn-but, I dunno how I feel about it yet. Kind of meh...
Still loving Once Upon A Time and The Flash is great too if you like Superheroes! Oh, and Quantico has my attention! It's been really twisty so far.
I always say I don't have time for TV, but write this out made me realize just how many shows I make time for!

I had no idea when I first started watching it either! It's so dramatic but it also has precious moments :) I'm with you on Heroes Reborn. Jury's definitely still out on that.
DeleteI'll definitely check those out! My friend's always raving about Once Upon a Time and I love Grant Gustin so both of those shows sound right up my alley!
They filmed Scream Queens at my college (Tulane) but I cannot get into it! I am LOVING Quanitco, but I'm into like FBI/Crime shows so its right in my wheelhouse. I really need to start Empire, everyone has told me I would LOVE it but for some reason I haven't started it! I'm a Netflix movies or watch an entire series of a no-longer-on-the-air-TV-show person I def don't keep with as much current stuff as I probably should.

That's awesome! Is it crazy seeing all of the places you recognize decked out a la slasher film?? I've seen the commercials for Quantico but I couldn't really understand what it was. I've heard good things about it though and I love crime shows so it sounds perfect!
DeleteI love watching series that are over because I don't have to wait for new releases :) I definitely watched all of 30 Rock that way. Let me know how you like Empire!
