Shows I'm Currently Loving

Even though our lives can get super busy and being a student should mean that I use my free time to study and read books. Doesn't mean I shouldn't find time to chill with a good tv show or sleep. I don't think I have mentioned yet just how much I love being in bed or sleeping. It's definitely in my top 5 favourite things to do. One of my other favourite things to do is to get all cozy in bed and stick on a good show to watch.

Anyways... I thought I would create a short list of some of the tv shows I absolutely love at the moment.

Outlander

I started watching this just over a year ago when my mum got me the first season on dvd for Christmas. I didn't have Amazon Prime back then. I watched the second season whilst I was staying in New Zealand for a month with my best friend and her family. In a strange way it made me homesick even though it was set in a completely different time. It still reminds me of home. The third season has just started back and I'm excited to see what is going to happen. I haven't read the books...yet but I did just purchase the first one. I'm so excited to start reading it... if I don't fall victim to banishing it to the To Be Read Pile. Ooops.
A lot of it is actually filmed in Scotland which just adds to the scenery, amazing storyline and characters. The scenery is just beautiful. Their studio is also in my hometown which is pretty damn cool.

Victoria

I'm an absolute sucker for period dramas. When Downton Abbey ended this became a sort of replacement. I really do enjoy it and do see some similarities when you have the stories of Queen Victoria upstairs and then her staff downstairs. Plus I have a soft spot for Jenna Coleman since she had been in Doctor Who. I think she plays the Queen beautifully.

Game of Thrones

I can't believe this started back in 2011. I remember showing my best friend this on the laptop. We're past 7 seasons and impatiently waiting for the last season to air. Season 7 still has me stopping and thinking about some of the things that happened. 

Also I will take this time to show my love for Sansa. I've had to endure conversations of people calling her boring and I'm like "hold the fuck up!!"

The Flash

 I'm really into my superhero shows and movies but this possibly has to be my favourite out of the bunch. I've fallen a little behind on it and need to catch up before season 4 starts. It's so cheesy but so good.

House of Cards

Literally just started this last week. As I type this I am on season 2. I didn't think it was going to be something I enjoyed but oh boy I have been sucked right in. How amazing and beautiful is Robin Wright? Kevin Spacey is also an incredible actor in this and they are both such a power force and incredible to watch.
Without trying to spoil too much but I thought I was angry about what happened to Peter Russo but then what happened to Zoe Barnes had me gasping like I haven't done at a tv show in a while. Can't wait to watch more of this.

Edit: 18/11/2017 I thought after everything that has gone on with Kevin Spacey I'd put in a little edit. I will keep what I said before. But thought it would be appropriate to do this. I have had trouble watching any more of this show since the news broke. So I'm still stuck on season 2 not knowing if I will continue. It's hard to separate person from the art. And I might take back what I said about him being an incredible actor because it seems like he was an awful person in real life too. I feel like they should write him out of the show and do the final season on Robin Wright. 

Shows I'm looking forward to returning

Black Mirror, Stranger Things, Riverdale and Criminal Minds.

Other honourable mentions:
Lost, Orphan Black, Sons of Anarchy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, and loads more that I'd be here all day listing them.
