This past year I've gotten away from watching a ton of t.v. it seems I'm not missing much. Arrow was another lackluster season but I did catch the second half of The Flash and loved watching Voltron on Netflix. I just couldn't get into binging Daredevil season 2 and quit half way through.

Last weekend I had ZERO things to do but couldn't find an interest in binging anything. There are only a few shows that I'm interested in catching this coming tv season and into 2017.

Star Trek new series
American Gods
The Flash season 3
and I want to see how more of how the Marvel Netflix shows turn out. (good/bad been pretty good so far).
Votran season 2


That's pretty much it otherwise I see watching non stop as a waste of time. People can counter argue with video games as being a waste to which I say fine if that's how someone views video games but I feel I'm accomplishing something (beating a level) unlike just vegging out in front of a t.v. screen.

I've signed up to a month's long free trial.

I have been watching Bojack Horseman, Fargo, Better Call Saul & Stranger Things.

Binge watching TV on DVD was a favourite pastime for a long long time, but I'm really only keeping up with The Walking Dead these days.

I'm interested in seeing the new Star Trek series, and I'm not even a Trekkie! Really keen to get Stranger Things too. Will it even get a DVD release?

hey, i'm bookmarking this thread!

season 1 of fargo was great, season 2 was awesome. really really good. i'm also loving better call saul

binge-watching is practically the only way i watch tv. and once i start watching a series, i usually "need" to watch it until the last/latest episode before i move on to something else. right now i'm thinking of rewatching battlestar galactica again, but... it's quite a commitment! so i'm not starting just yet

My family got the month-long free trial for Netflix and then decided to get the standard subscription. I feel like Netflix has simultaneously a ton of stuff and very little XD Odds are you won't find a movie in particular, but then there's lots of hidden gems too. I was pleased to discover Elizabethtown on there! And I'm anxiously awaiting season 2 of Sense8 :D

[edit] Oh man, I've been hearing a lot of positive reviews about Stranger Things. Maybe I'll try that out, too

I'm really enjoying the second season of Fargo right now on Netflix.

It's excellently filmed, and the interweaving storylines makes for entertaining viewing. From my perspective, it surpasses the first season.

I'll admit to DVDs being one of my highly repetitive things. I'll just watch the same things over and over and over.
I can't stand ads, and dislike scheduled shows as that time every day/week may not be convenient, so I'll only watch TV if recorded. I don't own one, so it'll always be at somewhere I'm staying if they have one.
Outside America I've heard Netflix isn't that great. I'm not even sure how it works. Do you need a heap of Internet credit/unlimited for that?

I don't have Netflix but I watch a lot of TV at times from my overpriced cable company, Crapcast(Comcast). I also DL shows using uTorrent from Piratebay. I don't get around to watching the shows I DLed very often thou.
