So we got Netflix a little over a year ago.....but we really rarely ever watched TV so we never really took advantage of it....however, I have more free time on my hands lately which is being consumed by Netflix binge watching and this stupid game on my phone Cooking Fever (don't even get me started, it's a problem!)
So I'm YEARS behind on Netflix....but I'm going to give you my opinion on what I have been watching!
1. Stranger Things.....I really like this show and Winona Rider is in it!! Love that it was only 3 seasons so fairly easy for me to get caught up on! I love the girls Eleven on this show and the kid with the curly big hair! Season 3 was a little OUT THERE for me though. I know this is sci-fi....however, it just became too much at the end. I will probably tune in for the next season just to see what happens.
2. Riverdale...….I love all the pretty people on this show! And I love the original season of solving the death of a classmate. I love Luke Perry and Skeet Ulrich in this...I do NOT like Molly Ringwald, I just don't think she is a very good actress. Now, I do like the show and the overall mystery and darkness....why are these teenagers doing SO many things that normal teenagers really don't do? (Or maybe I am totally sheltered?!) But the amount of drinking and sex....breaking people out of jail, c. oering up murders, running clubs and underground casinos?! It's just a little too much. But I will continue to watch this also...looks like season 4 was just released, so might have to get caught up.
3. Virgin River....only 1 season and very super cute! Highly recommend for a good rom-com!
4. Orange is the New Black....now.... this is like 7 seasons, that is a little daunting. I've heard mixed reviews on the later seasons but I haven't even finished season 1. I do like it and I like all the funky characters and story lines...I just am not sure how you have 7 seasons of story lines involved. Maybe I'll find out.
5. YOU.....OMG!!!! MY FAVORITE!! If you like psychological thrillers, please watch this. It started out as a book and surprisingly I have NOT read it. A friend recommended this to me about a year ago
and I actually watched it and loved it. Season 2 came out a couple months ago, so I rewatched season 1 before watching season 2....and I totally would watch them all over again! Season 3 is coming out in 20
6. Cheer....The cheerleading documentary. I know, I thought the same thing before I started hearing about it. Everyone I talked to said it was good. I watching it. It was good! I really enjoyed it and was shocked at what these people do to their bodies for cheerleading where they cannot go on to be professional in this sport. After college, there is no where for these kids to go with this type of cheerleading. I highly recommend this show.....and I love Jerry! LOVE him!
7. Dead to Me....Christina Applegate.....this is a light comedy, murder show. Funny and mysterious. Only 1 season but it is good for those who can't deal with the real, serious murder shows!
8. Taylor Swift: Miss Americana....I really liked this show. Gave a really good insight to her history and her music making. Her path of success, what has worked and backfired for her. I wish I had more of her creativity and determination!
9. Aaron Hernandez documentary....only 3 episodes thankfully! Some people feel sorry for Aaron after watching this and hearing about his background and issues that he faced. I didn't. Yes, I think the whole story is sad, but I think some people put themselves in bad situations over and over again....and that is the problem. Learn from your mistakes, make good decisions. I am glad I watching this b/c I didn't know the full story originally.
10. Making a Murderer...I know I'm so many years behind on these shows. But wow! This is the stuff that I really do love but I do think there are so many more corrupt systems out there (police, FBI, politicians, lawyers) and that is what is scary. You don't know who you can really trust. I normally see the best in people and I know that is one of my downfalls even after being a fan of true crime and psychological thrillers, I still have a hard time believing people are this crazy! At one time I wanted to be a criminal psychologist and I still think that would be super interesting. Maybe I should go back to school.
11. Hannah....I really liked this show! A little sci-fi with a badass female. Some mystery, action...only 1 season, but I'm looking forward to seeing more!
12. Modern Love....little love stories, all different! I liked some and some were okay. Overall this was very cute and I really like the whole idea of all these different relationships. B/c every relationship in real live is SO different and no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors. Highly recommend!
13. American Son....OMG, please watch this! So good, so suspenseful, so mysterious and so frustrating! I hated this way this movie made me feel. I wanted to scream numerous times with the mother in this movie. Very good and very good acting in this movie also!
I have a couple shows I started a while ago, but don't quite remember like I want to (13 Reasons Why and Mind Hunters) so I want to start them over. There are so many shows that have been suggested to me that I want to watch also (Ozarks being one of them) so stay tuned!! Even though most of you have probably watched these shows WAY before I have! :)
