I have a habit of binge watching shows once I start on Netflix and Hulu. I especially enjoy The Walking Dead, Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Med, Salem, Hotel Hell and Kitchen Nightmares (I love listening to Gordon when he gets mad), Weeds, Empire, just finished Nurse Jackie and I did enjoy An American Horror Story but season four and five kind of disappointed me. I watched the entire first season of Orange is the New Black and was very impressed, I knew it was based on a true story, so I immediately bought the book on Amazon. I was so disappointed. The only thing that was similar was the fact that a woman went to jail for drugs. All of the other drama that went on in the show was completely made up, it seemed. I was so disappointed.

I enjoy many TV shows, at the moment i'm re-watching Gilmore girls on Netflix. i often find that i watch a TV show on the TV if its an action show as i want to be caught up in the moment and if other friends watch the same show we can discuss it in detail the next day

Not many to be truthful. I watch more movies than anything.

I have a terrible trash TV habit but besides that I follow Orphan Black. I am also a Gilmore Girls fan like the poster above and I can't wait for the November release. You might have picked that up from the username too...

i prefer not to be tied to a particular time for anything except people. so most of the television shows i watch are in the past. there are some current ones i will watch online, but usually past their prime. however, i have been a fan of Once Upon a Time since i caught it on an airplane back from europe! it has incredible writing, incredible stories and the characters are superb!

We do not watch much network tv, although we do watch network shows but on Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. Hubby and I both love to watch British and Australian shows. Sadly we don't watch enough movies and we really should because we have access to a lot of them.

I follow a lot, currently I just finished the latest season of Black Mirror. Watching that show is akin to reading an enthralling book.

Call the Midwife is one of the BEST shows I have ever seen- I was in tears with the latest season dealing with thalidomide.

Some of the series that I have been following over the past few years include Outlander, Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, The Arrow, and Supernatural. I typical watch shows that are either on Netflix or on movie channels because I do not enjoy commercials. Of these some are based on book series. I have read all of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and have read the first three books in the Game of Thrones series. I was saddened to see Penny Dreadful end after just three seasons. With all the paranormal characters such as Dracula, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll, Dorian Gray, vampires, and werewolves, and witches, and incarnations of the Devil himself, Penny Dreadful was a great series.

I am a huge Grey's Anatomy fan and an even bigger Game of Thrones fan. I was a True Blood fan until they cut the series off unexpectedly (to me anyway). I've actually said repeatedly that if I had watched Grey's when I was younger, I would've ended up a surgeon.
