Five on Friday: Television Shows

Now that I am done with grad school I seem to be spending a lot of my time reading, hanging with family/friends, or binge watching television shows. Therefore, I just had to share my most recent television obsessions. Have you seen any of these shows?

My Current Television Show Obsessions

Bodyguard

When I saw Richard Madden (GoT) win an award for his role in the Bodyguard, a TV show that I had seen highlighted on Netflix many many times, I knew it was time I give it a whirl. I was not disappointed. His acting is superb, the plot is intense, and overall it was a great show.

Killing Eve

I think Sandra Oh is a great actress and I couldn't wait to see her role in her new television show. Killing Eve was nothing like it expected it to be. It was filled with dark humor and amazing acting by all. This one is not to be missed. You can find this thrilling title on Hulu.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

The last few episodes are here! I am trying to only watch an episode a day to make it last. The two episodes I have seen so far are as hilarious as ever. I am sad to see the show end, but also hope it ends on a high note. I am not sure it would have kept being funny for too much longer.

This show can be creepy and funny at the same time. I don't like a single character, but I am engrossed in this story. What's her name from Pretty Little Liars and what's his name from Gossip Girl are the stars of the show. Hmmmmm, I am just now realizing that I watch a lot of dark/twisty shows.

Why are more people not watching this show? It is ridiculous and hilarious and I love it. I am so glad my husband convinced me to give it a try. Each character adds their own fun quirks to the show, and I just can't get enough. I am currently binge watching the crap out of this.

Book Prescriptions: Reading Suggestions Based On Your Favorite TV Shows

I haven't done one of these posts in FOREVER. I am hoping to bring it back in some way at least once a month. I work on booklists all the time at work so why not also share my ideas on the blog?

The Books I suggest aren't always necessarily the same genre/plot so much as they have the same feel... and are great reads of course!

This time around I have decided to focus on tv shows. Enjoy!

I Feel Like Gabbing Today - TV Show Edition

**I have no idea how often I will have this post or when exactly I'm going to post it. This is a work in progress. I do however know that I want to share with you the very random thoughts that pop into my head. Many are bookish thoughts and many are not. I feel like I don't have enough discussion type posts on the blog so I am giving this a whirl.

I have a slight addiction to binge watching
TV shows. Actually, I get so immersed in my television shows that sometimes I don't even make time to read or I even forget that I am in the real world. So today I want to take a second and freely fangirl over my favorite TV show characters. If you aren't watching these shows... shame on you.
