Hello guys! How are you? Is 2018 treating you well? Did you spend a great first month? Mine was fine, a bit busy with work.
I’m happy to be back today with a topic dear to my heart : TV SHOWS! When I’m not reading, I adore watching series! I’m more of a comedy and romance kind of gal : FRIENDS, The OC, Jane The Virgin, Revenge…, just to name a few. Lately, I’ve been looking for new stuff to watch and I need to thank the wonderful Kat @ Life & Others Disasters who’s just awesome at recommending series! So here’s what I’ve been watching, I hope you’ll add all of them on your to-watch list.
1. Dynasty
> The trials and tribulations of the Carringtons, an oil rich family in Denver. Soapy, fun and full of betrayals : a glamorous and addictive guilty pleasure! Cannot wait to uncover all the secrets of Fallon’s personality.
2. Younger
> 40-year-old Liza passes herself off as 26 to land a job in publishing. Now she has to make sure no one discovers her secret. Charismatic, sweet, witty, in all : highly watchable. Plus I adore Hilary Duff’s character!
3. The Wrong Girl
> This Australian contemporary drama revolves around the adventures of 29-year-old producer on a morning tv show Lily Woodward. It’s about love and friendship, and the hard balance between a fulfilling romance and a dynamic career. It’s light and amusing with relatable characters and very true to the chaos that is life.
4. The Good Place
Genre : Comedy – Format : 20 min.
> With Kristen Bell starring in it, I needed to give this quite original show a try. Due to an error, self-absorbed Eleanor arrives at the Good Place after her death. Determined to stay, she tries to become a better person. Funny situations, lovable characters : an entertaining show. I’m really curious where it will take us…
5. Modern Family
> I know I know it’s not brand new but it’s still airing right? I currently finished season 5 (yes, I’m late…) and I’m HOOKED! In this “mockumentary”, we follow the everyday life of three different related families. It’s funny as hell and when you had a bad day, it’s just the perfect remedy! Got a soft spot for Phil, what about you?!
Did you watch any of these shows? Did you enjoy them?
What are you watching lately? Any recommendations for me?
Let’s chat in comments ?
How have I not heard of The Good Place, need to check that out lol. Thanks
Yeeees, you definitely should! Hope you’ll enjoy it ??
The Good Place and Modern Family are two of my favourites. Great shows to help you unwind and make you laugh. I have been wanted to watch Younger!
Yeees, EXACTLY! Those shows are perfect ? You should check it out, it’s really good ?
I’ve recently binge watched The Good Place and it’s become one of my new favourite shows! I’m so scared to watch the season finale though!
Same here, it was weird at first and now I’m hooked! Don’t be, the season finale was AH-MA-ZING ?
Oh yes, I love TV! I’m a bigger fan of TV than I am of movies and I think it’s because I can stay attached to certain characters over a longer period of time vs movies where I’m only with them for two hours tops. Right now, I’m obsessed with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, This is Us, The Crown, and Rashida Jones’ character in Angie Tribeca. I definitely know what you mean about comedy and romance, though, because the two put together is my favorite 🙂
YEEES, same here! You can watch the characters really grow, I love it ? I’ve been hearing good stuff about the Crown, maybe I’ll check it out one day! Thanks for stopping by ?
The Wrong Girl sounds quite good. I’ve been watching Wanted which is a Netflix show set in Australia. Two women end up on the run after witnessing a murder. It’s a great show.
It really is, you should give it a try ? That sounds promising, maybe I’ll check it out!
YES THE GOOD PLACE YESSS. Just curious are you all caught up? Or are you still on Season 1???
I’m all caught up, just watched season 2 finale yesterday! It was REALLY REALLY GOOD! Can’t wait to see what happens next ??
Always at your service *bows* Recommending TV shows is literally the ONE thing I am continuously good at hahaha also YAS for someone finally watching The Wrong Girl. Far too few people know about it.
I bet you’re good at plenty other stuff too ? Yes, you’re right! Nobody is watching that show, that’s such a shame! LOVED it ?
Thanks, Nyx! Maaaaaybe there’s other things but this is really my specialty haha
Obviously haha! ?
I love the good place. We quite literally laugh out loud watching that show.
Haha, YEES! ? Thanks for stopping by ?
I haven’t watched any of these yet, but I’ve been meaning to start Younger! I do love Hilary Duff plus this show just sounds like so much fun. I noticed The Good Place on Netflix earlier and I love Kristen Bell so I’ll have to check that one out too 🙂
Oh yes, Younger is really fun! I’m sure you’ll love it. ? The Good Place was a bit weird at first but now I’m hooked. It’s hilarious! ?
Dynasty is one of my guilty pleasures ? and The Good Place is hilarious!
Me too, I enjoy the drama so much ?? YEEES! ? Thanks for stopping by ?
I love love love Modern Family. Definitely one of my favorite shows ever!
YEEES, me too! It’s so funny and every character is special is their own way, I love it ?
Ooooh, Dynasty looks so goooooood! Also, I LOVE The Good Place and Modern Family – they’re such laugh out loud programmes! These are really good picks! 😀
You definitely should check it out if you’re into drama! ?? Yees, exactly! They put you in such a good mood ?
I’m not usually a fan of comedies, but omg, Younger sounds reeeeally cute? Haha, I might have to investigate and see where I can watch it 🙂 Ordinarily, I watch crime shows (for some reason I love watching the FBI), but I know my husband gets sick of that after awhile, so it’s good to branch out.
It really is, hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do! ? Yeah, it’s good to try watching new things, otherwise it can get boring ?
? OMG! DynastyLOOKS SO GOOD!???Love Younger, I can relate to her since I’m in my 30’s and somethings that the MC goes through is things that I, unfortunately, have gone through.??The Wrong Girl Looks amazing as well, I love quirky kind of shows and this one looks perfect! I watch The Good Place, it’s pretty funny, definitely a good one, along with Modern Family! Hope you enjoy your new shows and thanks for helping me discover two new ones. Hope you have a great week ahead.
-Always Helena ?
YEEES, if you enjoy drama Dynasty is the perfect show for you ? Oh, life can be hard sometimes! And yees The Wrong Girl is really quirky and funny, I bet you’ll love it! ? Yes, both put me in such a good mood everytime I watch them ? Thank you so much, I’m really happy you discovered new shows thanks to my list! Happy watching and have a great week ??
I feel like everyone but me loves Modern Family…. :'( BUT I have watched the first episode of The Good Place per your recommendation and shall be watching more in the near future. Oh, and I will keep notice of the other shows recommended too! Thanks for the recs list x
My recent post: http://oliviascatastrophe.com/2018/01/life-lately-december-january/
Oh but the world would be boring if we all liked the same stuff! ? That’s awesome, so glad you like it and really happy I gave you some new shows to watch ? Thanks for you sweet words ?
I heard so many good things about Dynasty!! 😀 MUAHA me love me some drama. Great post I love it!
Well…if you love drama, you’re going to LOVE it! ?? Thank you so much ?
I’ve seen Younger pass by a lot the last year but.. I’m simply not much of a tv-person when I can easily lose myself in books? I really should check it out sometime though. Here’s fingers crossed I’ll actually do that one night instead of picking up a book, haha!
I totally get it, I’m always torn between watching an episode or picking up my book! ? Well… if sometimes you want to watch somehing, you definitely should give Younger a try ?
Understandable, haha! Lately I’ve been wanting to play some Sims again? That’ll be bad for my reading time as well. 😛
I’m going to try and keep watching television for when my boyfriend has the late shift! Then I can binge all I want. 😀 [Aka: next week!]
Oh my, yees THE SIMS! It’s been SO long since I’ve played, I used to love it! ? Excellent idea, happy watching ??
I played it pretty much all evening yesterday.. I am HOOKED, again.. oops.. Byebye reading.. for now, haha. :’)
Hahaha! I want to play again now, thank you haha ??
You’re very welcome, haha! 😛 I started with only one Sim yesterday and right before I went to sleep, she married and got a kid so now I’m all eager to play again today.. I shouldn’t have let those things happen.. :’D
This game is pure evil hahaha ?
It. is. And yet, I cannot stop.
I even went as far as checking when Sims 5 is coming out but I can’t find any decent date on it. Like it’s still.. a question whether or not it’s coming? Idk.
I have no idea! Hope it’s sooner than later ?
If it follows the course of all the others, it should be 2019. 😛 We’ll see!
Modern Family I think is just the greatest Tv show. I absolutely love watching it as it never fails to make me laugh. So glad you are loving it! -Z
YEES, I love it so much! ? Thanks for stopping by ??
i’ve been wanting to start dynasty, it sounds exactly like my guilty pleasure show, and also, elizabeth gillies! <3
Well…don’t wait another second, DO IT NOW ??
eeeeeeeeeK! my second love, next to books I LOVE my tv series lol. I have been meaning to watch Dynasty for a minute now & need to stop procrastinating smh. Thank you for the motivation haha! I can never get enough Modern Family, I haven’t watched the new season but that’s one show I easily watch re-runs of & still laugh as hard as I did the first time. I’ve fallen behind on a ton of my faves cause of reading & blogging but there are a few I HAVE to stay on top of…Gray’s Anatomy, Chicago Fire & PD, Big Bang Theory, Shameless, all of the DC Universe shows on the CW…the list goes on. Show I’m currently hiding from: This Is Us cause I aint ready for the heartbreak that this season is packing but I’m slowly but surely braving up for that this wknd lol. Love this post! <3 <3 <3
YAAAY, give us books and tv shows and we’re happy! ?? Haha, you’re welcome! Dynasty is full of drama, you won’t get bored I promise ? Haven’t finish Modern Family yet but you’re totally right, it’s ALWAYS funny! Any episode can really improve your mood, it’s awesome ? You’ve got quite the list! ? Never watched This Is Us, I guess I’m scared because I heard it’s so emotional and everything, not sure I’m ready for it yet haha! Thank you so much for your kind words ??
This is a great post Nyx, and oh I LOVE Modern Family. It’s one of the TV shows that’s a little like Friends for me in that I can tune in to any episode of any season and follow where the story is going, understand all the jokes, and have a great time watching (also Phil is my favourite characters too!)
I’ve heard brilliant things about The Good Place, and it’s definitely on my to-watch list. The only problem is my to-watch list is almost as long as my to-read list so it may take me a long time to get around to it! 😀
Again great post. 🙂 <3
Thank you ? YES, that’s exactly it! It’s ALWAYS funny and any episode can immediately improve your mood ? Yaaay to Phil! ? Haha, we have WAY too many lists, that’s crazy ??
I haven’t watched the new Dynasty, but I watched the original version back in the 80s.
Was it good? You should try the new version so you can compare it to the old one ?
The original was the stuff that nighttime soaps was made of. So OTT, but delicious. My daughter is watching the new one and she is enjoying it.
That’s awesome! ?
I haven’t seen any of these but The Wrong Girl looks fun. 🙂
It really is, it’s a bit quirky you should give it a try ? Thanks for stopping by ?
Hi! My blog is ‘Vérité Behind the Screen’ I am new to blogging and I just read your recent blog and loved it. Do you have any tips and advice on blogging and how to get noticed and have readers visit my blog? Thanks. Absolutely loving your posts 🙂
HI there! Thank you for the kind words ? I’m only blogging here once a month, you should really ask my sister haha! I guess there are two important things : great quality content and trying to interact as much as you can with fellow bloggers. You can check out the book blogging category, it’s full of good advice. ? Thanks for stopping by ?
TBH, TV series aren’t really my thing! The last series I ~completed~ was FRIENDS, and that was waaaay back (yet I OFTEN rewatch my favorite scenes when I need a good laugh). I prefer to watch game shows/reality TV like America’s Next Top Model, MasterChef, etc. XD
FRIENDS, YEEES! My all-time favorite tv show! I know every episode by heart haha ? If you watched FRIENDS, it’s all good haha ? I like to watch some too, I really like Masterchef and every food related shows ?
I started watching The Good Place and it’s hilarious! I’ve been wanting to start watching Modern Family but sadly, it isn’t on Netflix :'( I’m currently re-watching Baby Daddy and I love that show too!
Yees, every episode makes me laugh so hard! ? That sucks, hope it’ll be available soon ?
YEEES, I LOVE Baby Daddy, it was such a great show I miss it ?
So happy to see another post from you, Nyx ?
I love a good TV show and I totally love binge watching Netflix when I’m not reading. The only one I’ve watched on this list is Modern Family and it is totally the best after you’ve had a long day; I kinda stopped watching it a while back but I plan on catching up real soon ?
I’ve been loving Riverdale and Zumbo’s Just Desserts recently and I would totally recommend both of those shows. Riverdale is amazing and if you’re a foodie then you’ll be drooling over Just Desserts ?
Thank you, that’s so sweet of you to say ? Oh yes, Modern Family is just perfect to relax and have a good laugh! ? Thanks for the recs, I’ll check them out ?
I haven’t watched any of these but I was definitely thinking about starting Dynasty. I love Jane the Virgin but the current season is not on airing on India’s Netflix and I am stuck 🙁 I so hate that.
Recently I watched The End of F****ing World and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend that. Also, I have recently started La Cas De Papel. It is a Spanish show and involves bank robbery and heists so I am not sure if you would like it but it is worth watching 🙂
Well, don’t think anymore and go watch it now ? I ADORE Jane the Virgin, those characters ? Ugh, hope they’ll put it online very soon! Thanks for all the recs, I’ll check them out ?
I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUNGER. Are you on Team Josh or Team Charles? Have you caught up with the latest season? OH MY GOD.
SAME HERE, I’m SO hooked! ? I need the next episodes like YESTERDAY… ? For Eliza, I do not know…but for me I’m rooting for Josh ??
Hotdiggitydog. Love the Good Place!! And it gets awesome-er in the second season…
YEEEES ?? Thanks for stopping by ?
Great list- I’ve not seen any of these, but I’m curious about Dynasty, the Good Place and Modern Family!
Thank you! ? You definitely should check them out ?
You’re welcome! ?
Modern Family is still a fave, and one of the few shows I tag in for each week. My daughter started watching the new Dynasty. She likes it, but nothing could replace the original in my heart. I loved Younger, and will watch it again when the new season begins, but I was sort of mad with some of the storylines last season.
Yeees, it’s always such a pleasure to watch Modern Family ? Haha, I get it! I guess every tv shows have some storylines we can’t stand, still looking forward to the new season ? Thanks for stopping by ?
