Netflix and Chill

It should come as no secret to anyone that knows me that Netflix runs my life.



There's no better feeling to me than crawling into my calming sanctuary of a bed, at the very late hour of 9pm (Yeah....) and turning on my iPad, ready to catch up on whatever delicious episodes of any of the shows I am watching on Mother Netflix. I wanted to do a quick post on the shows I currently have on tap (Just on Netflix, I watch other shows as well on regular TV. As stated previously.... I heart TV.) or have watched and loved recently.

House of Cards. This was a complete no-brainer. Season 4 was released last Friday and I am re-watching Season 3 to get in the zone before I delve into any new episodes. I absolutely love this show. It makes me feel like I could feasibly run a country (which is a frightening thought I'm sure to literally everyone that knows me).

The Mindy Project. Season 4 was released on Netflix a few weeks ago and I was beside myself with excitement over it. It's seriously one of my all-time favourite shows. The writing, the fashion, the plot and characters are so up my alley. Words can't describe how much this show has warmed my heart over the years.

Love. This was a Judd Apatow produced joint and it is easy to see why. I would best describe it as an Indie comedy with some real-life romance thrown in. I started watching because I was a fan of the show Community which the lead actress in Love, Gillian Jacobs, starred in as well. I ended up hammering out the entire season in a matter of three nights. Highly recommended if you like indie movies.

Chelsea Does. Honestly, I was never a super-fan of Chelsea Handler. However her new series, Chelsea Does, is really really captivating. Each episode is dedicated to a different topic (i.e Marriage, Technology, etc) and is quite well put together. I started watching this show during the AFC Championship game when it became clear to me that my beloved New England Patriots would lose (about two minutes into the game, hey Maegen and Jordan?!) and quickly became transfixed.

Cartel Land. I have long been obsessed with anything to do with the Mexican Cartels and this documentary was insanely compelling. Upon the first few frames of this riveting film, you are instantly pulled into this crazy (REAL) world of how the cartels are affecting the Mexican province of Michoacan. So. Good.

Scandal. I will admit, it has fallen by the wayside of House of Cards and GOT (we are in the process of re-watching from Season 1 to prepare for the newness that arrives on April 24 EEK). My BFF Maegen is obsessed with the show, and after many moons of resisting starting yet ANOTHER new series, I gave it a shot. I love it. Usually, my taste in TV shows lies more along the lines of HBO or Showtime but there's something about Scandal that I am drawn to. It's total escapism, and I can just turn my brain off and get swept away in the salacious drama of each episode. I will admit I actually started watching Scandal as something to "bond" over with Maegen, who does not watch TV whatsoever save for Keeping Up with the Kardashians (which I do NOT). It's a huge bonus that Scandal is actually really good. Once I have dealt with House of Cards I will come back to this little piece of gossip-y heaven.




As always, I welcome all suggestions of anything in Netflix Land. Feel free to send me an email, which can be found in the "About Me" section. And thank you, as always, for reading!
