During some TV binges, there is a specific moment when you just know for sure you’re on board. While watching Sense8, that moment came for me in episode four. One character begins singing karaoke—specifically, “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. As he sings, we see seven other characters, located over the world, begin to sing the … More TV Binge Report: Sense8
Now, this is quite an ambitious binge. I say “is” rather than “was” because I am still working on it—I am currently around the middle of season 11, meaning I have spent roughly a full week of my life (spread out over a few months) watching this show. That’s not at all disturbing, but I … More TV Binge Report: Grey’s Anatomy
Girl meets boy. Girl and boy have a lot of issues. Girl and boy treat each other like crap for a while and dance around their feelings. Maybe girl and/or boy learns something from this dysfunctional experience. This formula is more and more apparent in modern day television (and, unfortunately, modern day relationships). You’re the … More TV Binge Report: Love on Netflix
After months of everyone consistently telling me Fargo is one of the best shows currently on TV, I finally listened and checked it out. I should preface this by saying that I have not actually seen the movie that inspired it. As it turns out, everyone was right, because this show is a gem with … More TV Binge Report: Fargo
About halfway into the first episode of Broad City, I realized it is everything I wanted Girls to be. While it may be a much more cynical look at 20-something life (and female friendship) in New York City, it’s also in many ways a much more realistic—and FAR more hilarious—one. The premise of the show is ridiculously … More TV Binge Report: Broad City
Hilariously, the day after finishing season one of Jane The Virgin I started Catastrophe. While both shows kick off with an unexpected pregnancy, that is where the similarities end. Catastrophe is a British sitcom that is available in the US exclusively through Amazon Prime Instant Video. The first season, or, as the Brits say, “series,” consists … More TV Binge Report: Catastrophe
I’ll admit it—when Jane the Virgin was first announced, I was among its most outspoken detractors. “Accidental virgin insemination while at a gynecologist appointment? That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! I could never take such a show seriously,” I scoffed. But, after bingeing all of season one, it’s time for me to … More TV Binge Report: Jane the Virgin
There is nothing fancy or complicated about the premise of HBO’s Togetherness, which has aired one 8-episode season thus far and has been renewed for a second. It is simply about four thirty-something people living under one roof while they each navigate their version of a mid-life crisis. Created by Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass, and Steve Zissis (the … More TV Binge Report: Togetherness
So, I finished Friends a couple of weeks ago, and I’m not gonna lie—I’ve been a bit lost since. For five months, this show was my go-to when I needed a laugh or had some spare time. No longer can I say there are episodes of Friends I haven’t seen. It’s very bittersweet. Also bittersweet were some … More My Top 5 Favorite Episodes from Friends Seasons 9-10
Last week I went through numbers 10-5 on my list of the top 10 episodes of Friends season 1-4. With no further ado, the rest of my favorites! 5) “The One at the Beach” (Episode 3×25) If I was in charge of titling the episodes, this would have been “The One With the Strip Happy … More My Top 10 Episodes from Friends Seasons 1-4 (Part Two)
