Have you watched Watchmen on HBO with Regina King. Puzzling to put the pieces together, but I’m hooked!
Have you watched Schitt’s Creek on Netflix? Love, love that show! It’s definitely binge worthy!
Old HBO series “The Night of” wish they would do another with detective and prosecutor!
All I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have watched some of these but have been looking for a list of shows to binge. Look out couch here I come! (sad but perfect for snowy weekend)
Thanks for all the great suggestions for binge watching! Can’t wait to check them out. One of our favorites I didn’t see on your list is Episodes. It’s hilarious. Not for younger audiences!
I just started watching The Newsroom. It’s amazing!!
Miranda and Kim’s Convenience are my top full face bust a smile from your toes inducers
Have you watched Goliath on Amazon Prime! It’s amazing!
Schitt’s Creek on Netflix! One of the funniest shows I’ve even seen..the current season is on Pop TV.
I loved the Docuseries Cheer
Succession
The Outsiders
Killing Eve
Judging from your must watch TV list, you’re in for a treat with Killing Eve. I second Chrissie’s recommendation. Thanks for the other rec’s!
If you liked Sons of Anarchy, then you must watch Justified. As well, The Shield was a ground-breaking drama series in its day. Broke all the usual rules before The Sopranos hit the airwaves. Am currently enjoying Sneaky Pete, which has a lot of the same production/writing staff and actors as Justified. Good to have binge-worthy shows to watch while self-isolatin/social distancing at home.
Yes, yes, yes re: Justified!
What is the beautiful dish at the top of this article?
hummus!! https://dev.afterhoursagency.com/wgc/loaded-hummus/
Gaby,
What is that delicious dish at the top of this post? Humus with chick peas, kidney beans and pomegranate?
Justified!!! Was originally on FX, available now on Hulu.
Another great show is You. Also Catastrophe
Gabby, that’s quite a list of recommendations for binge watching. Honestly trying to get out for a long walk daily. I fear we’re all gonna be packing on the pounds testing your great recipes. Since you enjoyed Dear John, listen to podcast by same producers: Dr Death. It’s currently being made into a limited series (for new Peacock Network.)
I love Grace and Frankie ❤️
Little Fires Everywhere
May I suggest SUCCESSION?!!! I would def agree with your top suggestions. But give this one a try – it is Incredible. Like can’t stop watching, can’t look away, don’t want it to end, still thinking about the last episode you watched days later!!!
You should try The Kominsky Method on Netflix. It stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin and has so many great cameo roles! It is written well and is light hearted and enjoyable from start to finish.
Oh and Catastrophe on Amazon Prime and After Life with Ricky Gervais on Netflix!
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark on HBO (docuseries). So so good. It’s about more than what the reviews say it is. So amazing.
I agree, so good!
Watch IN THE DARK on Netflix! You will love it! It’s about a young, beautiful blind woman who finds her friend dead. What happens next is just totally addictive to watch! Trust me!
Everything looks delicious! Love your choices of shows or series to watch. I did watch Good girls revolt, from your suggestion, a few others to.
Thank you!
Some other ones to check out.
Grace and Frankie
Last Tango in Paris
Anything wit( Olivia Colman
Gavin and Stacey (British comedy James Corden)
Watching Transparent now, interesting to say the least.
Dead to me
Atypical
Just to name a few.
I made a booboo,
It’s Last Tango in Halifax, lol
Have you seen Younger on Hulu? There’s 6 season and it’s my all time fav! From the same creators as Emily in Paris. You’ve got to watch it!!!
Gaby Girl have you seen the Night Manager??? Gooooood!
Yes! The Night Manager!
I second that!
Love this! You missed The Undoing. So good!
Absentia is really good, didn’t see that on your list. May be Anazon Prime, just released a 3rd season. Love your list, we have similar taste as I have seen many of the ones you listed.
You’ve got to watch (both on Acorn TV)
Balthazar
Shetland
So so good.
Offspring is a show from Australia, it’s on Netflix, I’m obsessed with it, so so so funny!!!
I love this one too!
FYI If you enjoyed Dear John podcast, by same podcasters, listen to Dr Death. True crime & about to be a limited series currently filming.
Great lists, great food! What more could a person want?
I’d add –
Sherlock
Justified
If you liked Bodyguard and BBC dramas, I think you’ll love Line of Duty! It’s made by the same people and there are multiple seasons. A favorite!
Yellowstone!
Dead to Me
Call the Midwife
The Great British Baking Show
The Chef Show
The Undoing
The Flight Attendant
Away
Dr. Foster
Very impressive list! Another incredible show to watch is The Wire. One of the best shows ever on television.
What about little fires everywhere or the undoing?
Omg THANK YOU for boosting Money Heist!!! By far my favorite show that I discovered in quarantine!!
Can we have your top movie recommendations too, please? Say even only your best films of the past 2 years to make it easier… Or even just since lockdown!!
ooooooo good idea – give me a few weeks to make a list
Wow Gaby, this is quite a list! Plus the appetizers are delicious.
Thank you,
Lucy
