What to Watch....?
I have a 'To Watch' list that is beginning to catch up with my 'to read' list....which is saying something. Some things have been on it for years and may never get watched unless someone literally throws the DVDs in my direction (Friends, Game of Thrones) and some stuff I'm just waiting for the ideal time to watch (I can't wait to start Marvel's the Defenders, though I think I'll have to soldier through Iron Fist first). I often chastise myself for going with something familiar on Netflix, rather than taking the plunge and committing to a new series.
How about you guys? Are you better at actually watching things than me? Or do you have a lengthy list of your own? Are there any new shows that have shot to the top of it?

Re: What to Watch....?
Oh, man. So many TV shoes to watch, so little time. Luckily, most of the TV shows I watch religiously are currently on break until Fall season (late September, early October), so I have some time to catch up on "to watch" list. Currently on it are (in no particular order):
- American Gods
- The Pacific
- Band of Brothers
- Law & Order: SVU - latest season
- American Horror Story: Hotel - rest of season
- Legion
- Lost
- Iron Fist
- Persons Unknown
- Blacklist - latest season
- Sleeper Cell
- The Wire
- The Young Pope
- The Handmaiden's Tale
- Chicago Med - second season
...also a platonic soulmate and a hot mess of a human being.
Re: What to Watch....?
I became a Tv show watcher not long ago, but I have watched many of them already.
My favouriteS are:
*absolutely Game of thrones (everyone is watching it, I think)
*Merlin; I was watching this show some years ago and I am planning on repeating it. This was so marvelous and interesting (and full of magic)
*Then my third one; Once upon a time- I was shocked when I saw the first episode and some months ago I started watching it from season 1 to season 6. Now in october there is season 7 coming out. Can´t wait!

Re: What to Watch....?
Oddly, I was never the biggest tv person...and then I found Netflix. Consequently, I have (at long last) joined the ranks of people who enjoy their daily television fix. Granted, some of these are years old, but I'm enjoying them, so I guess that's what matters in the end.
Currently, I'm watching
The Crown
Ripper Street
Criminal Minds
One Day at a Time
I'm still debating on a few others, but so far that's a good start.

This is a topic I'm constantly stuck on, so I get your trouble. Currently, I am watching Saved By the Bell on Netflix! It is an amazing sitcom and a good comfort show! I really recommend it!!

Some shows I recommend watching are Green Arrow, Umbrella Academy. I also would watch NCIS it is really good if you like to watch crime type shows.

I never have time to watch TV or stream much, and it's not encouraged in my family, but when I do watch anything, I enjoy watching the Marvel shows on Disney+ and even some kid shows with my little sisters like Brain Games and Gabby Duran and the Unsittables.

Re: What to Watch....?
I'm really looking forward to The Winchesters, which is like a prequel to Supernatural. I'm also looking forward to binge watching House of the Dragon, which I still haven't started.

On my watch list for the term:

- The Owl House
- Thor: The Dark World
- The Rear Window
I'm watching most of these because a friend or family member has suggested them to me.

Re: What to Watch....?
I've a few shows that I religiously watch every time they drop on TV or streaming services, but those are so rare. I've got a few on my to watch list either because I don't have time to watch them, I've not decided whether they're worth my time or I'm waiting on them to get better-synced subtitles.
House of the Dragon and the latest season of The Umbrella Academy are certainly on my "as soon as I've the time" watch list.

Re: What to Watch....?
I just started watching Wednesday (the newest addition to The Addams Family universe) and I am loving it! The acting by Jenna Ortega (who plays Wednesday) is quite good; she really nails the "dead stare" that Wednesday often gives. Two of my all time favourite movies are The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993), so I was really nervous that this new show wouldn't live up to my expectations. Luckily, it did, and exceeded them! Definitely worth the watch.

I've finished watching Wednesday. I enjoyed it and I hope they decide to make a second season. It seemed to stay true to the spirit of the Addams family and the characters personalities.

Re: What to Watch....?
I might be biased because I'm so happy with the representation, but I do recommend anyone who can watch Marvel's Echo.
It's shorter than any other series, with only 5 episodes, but I think that counts as a positive because it doesn't seem bloated. Its action is very well choreographed and I love that they used an actress who is Deaf and an amputee. So many times you see able-bodied actors and actresses playing disabled people and while their intentions might be well-meaning, the reality is far different as presented in the shows. At least for the deafness, I think they portrayed it extremely well and I just love how people around her slip into sign language without much fanfare or groaning.
Even though Echo is a bit sluggish at times and some of its aspects might have used more time to develop properly, the show's strengths align with the best aspects of superhero storylines.
It's not a perfect show, I think it suffers from problems other Marvel shows have, but I think it's worth seeing past these flaws and enjoying this show!
General warning: The show is appropriate for people in their later teens onward, due to violence and some mature themes.
