I hope you are all enjoying your week and doing great. I do like to watch TV shows so this week Lin, Em and I want to talk about the TV show line-up.
I have to admit that I did not put much effort into the summer TV line-up yet. I have no ideas what shows will run during the summer. So I need to figure this out at some point. The problem is that I never have enough time to watch all the shows I would like to. I still have so many shows I need to catch up with. If you have any recommendations though, please let me know.
There are two shows I want to check out. Orange is the new Black is one of them. I absolutely loved the first season. And I enjoy anything crime/prison themed. So this really is a show I will keep watching. I don't really like the main character and her boyfriend but the other characters are very entertaining. Can't wait to see what will happen next.
Another show I want to keep watching is True Blood. Not because it is the greatest show on earth but because it is very entertaining, I can relax while I watch it and it is just pure enjoyment. My guilty pleasure if you want to call it like that.
Speaking of movies: I am not a fan of movies based on books but I need to see "The Fault in our Stars".
There are also so many books I want to read over the summer. Today I discovered that there is a new Erik Winter novel by Åke Edwardson. Score!
So what do you want to watch during the summer?
I am so excited for Orange is New Black and True Blood!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems like we have the same taste!
DeleteI've watched Royal Pains and Franklin & Bash every summer for the past few years. They're the perfect summertime shows for me b/c they're completely mindless. :) I like funny shows a lot - dramas aren't really my thing.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard about Royal Pains, I will have to check it out! Franklin & Bash is a show about some lawyers, isn't it? I think I have seen a trailer! I like funny shows a lot too! And sometimes mindless shows are what you need. :)
DeleteI'm wanting to get into Orange is the New Black too. Yay for Netflix. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you would love it! Such a good show!
DeleteI still have to read The Fault in our Stars, then I'll watch the movie. my sister-in-law absolutely loved the book.
ReplyDeleteI usually do not even read YA books but I loved this one. Really need to watch that movie soon! Hope you will like the book!
DeleteI don't have much in the way of network TV, but the husband and I just finished season one of Breaking Bad and started season two! We're really loving it!
ReplyDeleteI love Breaking Bad so much and I am glad you like it as well! Such a good show! I watch to re-watch it at some point!
DeleteOver here in the UK, we have great TV drama including stuff like Broadchurch, Sherlock and just now Happy Valley which was brilliant. Once my daughter's exams are over, she says we are going to spend the summer watching lots of American stuff online. She's already started making me watch the American version of The Office which I tried to fight but must admit am absolutely loving! Here's to a great summer !
ReplyDeleteI have read about Broadchurch and it it sounds so interesting! I definitely want to check it out this summer. Also Sherlock. Seems like everybody loves that show! I have never heard of Happy Valley but I will look it up! Thank you for the recommendations! There are a lot of good shows out there, The Office is hilarious! One of my fave shows right now is Moone Boy, can't wait for a new season. It's an Irish show.
DeleteHi Katrin
ReplyDeleteInteresting post!
I love watching History channel!
have a gr8 weekend!
Hi Katrin
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing fine
The temp here is 46*C and it feels like a furnace..Gawd!
Hi Ankita! I love to watch documentaries about history, nature, animals, crime...46 degrees is way too hot! You poor thing! Here is it 30 degrees and that is almost too hot. Hope you can stay cool!
DeleteI definitely have to find something new for the summer, all my usuals are taking a break til fall. They should just film nonstop!
ReplyDeleteI agree, so many shows don't air during the summer. I am glad I have so many books to read. :)
DeleteI am all about Orange is the New Black! I'm saving it for when Gregory goes back to France, it will be nice to have something entertaining to keep me company :)
ReplyDeleteThat show is soo good! I only watched 2 episodes of the new season so far because I want to save it for later. :) I am sure it will entertain you while Gregory is in France!
DeleteI also like Orange is the New Black! Another TV show that I like is Devious Maids :-)
ReplyDeleteI have heard about Devious Maids! It sounds interesting! I have to check it out! Thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteMay I recommend another British crime show, The Fall? It’s on Netflix and stars Gillian Anderson as the cop. It’s about a string of murders in Belfast, North Ireland. I thought the show was pretty good and I know you love Scandi novels as I do! They will be having a 2nd season sometimes next year.
ReplyDeleteRika, thank you so much for this recommendation! It definitely sounds like a show I would enjoy! I mean, I love crime shows and I love British shows! I will definitely check it out! Thank you so much!
