Binge Watching Anonymous

Hello, my name is Ashley and I am a binge watcher. 

I am obsessed with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and binge watching all the shows!!! I decided I wanted to start sharing my addiction with you. Hopefully opening your eyes to some things and getting suggestions from you! I'm going to start this post with shows that I turn on to binge watch in the background while I'm doing other things around the house. Brace yourselves, this is surprisingly long haha.

1. Once Upon a Time

I am so in love with this show. I have rewatched the episodes on Netflix SOOO many times. It's probably unhealthy, but I don't care! And I mean, see evidence below. Captain Hook. Oh Captain Hook.


2. The Office

The Office is one of those shows that my husband and I watch EVERYDAY. We bonded over it when we first started dating. At that time I believe the first two seasons were available on Netflix, oh so long ago. Oh the end of that second season. I also found that I could relate the most ridiculous work situations with something from The Office. And I hear quotes in my head during certain situations and laugh to myself. Then people think I'm crazy. I don't care if it's over #theoffice4lyfe.


3. Parks and Recreation

Oh Parks and Recreation, how do I love thee? Let me count thy ways! I first started watching Parks and Rec during it's first season because I was working for our city's Parks and Recreation department. I couldn't get into the first season much (if you start watching it, you'll see why they changed characters around, don't give up after the first season!). My husband then made me rewatch the show after the second season came on Netflix. I have never seen a show with so many lovable characters. I have said many times that goal in life is to be the perfect mix between Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson and April Ludgate.


If you need happiness in your life, you need this show.

P.S. I often put this GIF into my presentations at work. If you work in IT for any educational venue, my guess is, you will get the significance of this.


4. The Walking Dead

I love this show, but honestly, I don't know why! It's so draining and gloomy, but I CAN'T. STOP. WATCHING! You keep holding on to hope and then *fart noise*. And I ended up getting my dad hooked on it, who then got my mom hooked on it. Can anyone else explain why it's so addicting?

Seriously though, if they kill Darryl, we riot.



Sorry for the feels! 

5. Community

Accidental segway into my next favorite. This is yet another show that my husband got me addicted to (it's really all his fault). As a person who has always been obsessed with TV and movies, the many, many references in this show make my heart happy.

See below for a perfect example of what I mean:


It's such an intelligent, well thought out comedy (IMO). I hate that it kind of fell apart. I'm getting ready to watch the sixth season on Yahoo!

6. The League

Oh The League. The League is a very vulgar, full of disgusting humor TV show. And I love it. I know. #dontjudgeme

And my favorite character is Rafi. Again... #dontjudgeme


7. Vampire Diaries

Another one of my guilt pleasures. I read the first book in high school because it was about a blonde haired, blue eyed girl living on Maple Street in small town Virginia. Seriously. My life. How do you not read that? The book was one of the most terrible books I have ever read. I had to force myself to get through. Thankfully, the show doesn't really go by the books and the characters actually have substance. This show sucks you in and you just have to keep watching. I started watching it while Jon was deployed. So, here I am, pregnant, fatigued, unable to drink caffeine and I'm staying up until 2 to 3 in the morning because I HAD TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. I did that for the 5 seasons of the show. That's 22 45 minute episodes per season. I think I finished it in a week. That's how addicting this damn show is. Plus, everyone is so ridiculously beautiful. Like, really? 


Personally, my crush is on Alaric. That's how you know you're old, when your crush on the teenage drama is the "older" mentor.


I also got really excited when they showed this map:


It's the little things.

Okay, I had way too much fun writing this post. I'm going to go watch all the shows now! K. Thanks. Bye!

Don't forget to tell me your favorite shows!!!
