Binge Watching Television
 

So now that our society is reduced to factory farmed human commodities drowning the sorrows of their impoverished isolated lives in front of screens for 72 hours in a row shovelling junk food in their mouths and developing serious back problems, what tv shows do you like to binge watch?

The ones everyone knows:

The Wire
Breaking Bad
True Blood
Sopranos
Battlestar Galactica
Homeland
Dexter
Walking Dead
Mad Men


What else is good?

Game of Thrones
Homicide Life on The Street
Twin Peaks (first 12 or so episodes)
Buffy & Angel
Generation Kill
X Files
24

Only shows I have binge watched.

Deep Space 9
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones


I argue with my wife about this all the time. I actually prefer to watch an episode and then let time pass, to absorb it, and to ruminate on it, and then watch another episode. watching shows back to back to back, even great shows, tends to blur the story arc in ways I do not like. All TV is episodic, some more than others, but this "break" between episodes I think makes the shows better.

Masterchef
Keeping Up Appearances
The Wire
Twin Peaks
Louie

didnt know the binge watch expression.


my top 3 hasnt changed.
twin peaks (the 1st time wasnt binge watched)
buffy
six feet under (first 3 seasons not binge watched).


will come back when i think about the next top 3s
perhaps i dont have next top 3s
but i surely agree with your intro on the subject :(

ah black mirror was genius - but not binge watch material.



from last year, i liked 'the americans', 'game of thrones' of course, 'the killing', 'bron/broen',

Agreed.

Of the comedy shows I re-watch often Alan Partridge's Knowing Me Knowing You takes the top spot. I wouldn't say I watch that much TV though. Even with films I'll go through phases of watching tons and then nothing for a while or just 1 or 2 in a month.

noted.

(ill keep editing previous post).

i dont watch the telly either, but i do spend tons of hours on series and although i feel bad about it -should watch interesting and inspiring movies instead- i m a lazy bastard and dont do much to fix this.
lately im binge (binge-binge-binge!) watching big bang theory on the side, because it makes me laugh and it relaxes me before i go to sleep.
also cant wait to watch arrested development 4. hope its brilliant as the previous seasons.

arrested development, theres another one to d/l

Let me add to what has been already said:
Samurai champloo
Curb your enthusiasm
Boardwalk empire
Deadwood (first two seasons)
Early sons of anarchy (has turned to shit)
THE SHIELD <---this!

xavier renegade angel
sealab 2021
red dwarf
peep show

Sanjivani
OZ
Holby City

masterchef? holby city? stop trolling.

Yeah Oz, but it turned shit after a few series

I have never developed proper good taste in TV shows. Trust me if I say I'm sparing you the worst of what I watch and enjoy on TV sometimes.

Oh yeah The wife and I binged on

Peep Show
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

Bad Girls

I watched that entire series many times in the past. Summer Heights High too.

I could watch this all day.

i just started season 2 of sopranos.

Tthere's only two showed I've watched the series entirely....(Xavier and Champloo) and both were awesome.
