I know that I binge watching TV shows is about the only way I do it any more. After moving into the new house for the summer, the fact that classes haven't started, and still being on a job hunt, I've had a lot of free time in the evenings. Downton Abbey is probably the most addicting show I've seen in a very long time.
I have a strange collection of shows that I like to watch, mostly a lot of BBC, hence why I stumbled upon Downton. I was turned on to it by a friend who watched all three seasons that were out when she was sick one week. That level of binge watching is pretty impressive, but oh so deserved with this show.
It follows a royal family back in the nineteen teen's, and their servants, who lead almost more interesting lives than the elites. It has everything you need good guys, bad guys, lovers, family feuds, a snarky grandmother (played by Maggie Smith no less), charming young men, debutantes, and a dog. The level of plots and subplots going on is astounding, but I guess it's needed with over 15 main characters.
The best part? They seem to end every single episode with some kind of plot twist that makes you jump straight to the next episode without even allowing yourself to go get another cup of tea. I think that has to be one of my favorite things, no matter what is going on, someone has something that you can't wait to find out what's going to happen. I know that once I'm finally caught up, waiting a whole week for the next episode might kill me.
Are there any TV shows that you just can't stop watching recently?
