Binge watching

I have bought the full DVD sets of Cadfael, Lost and Family at War, and sit and watch them one after another. Never get tired of them.
On Saturday afternoons, the drama channel shows several episodes of old series all afternoon.
You just need to get yourself organised as regards meals etc., then park yourself and enjoy!

I too binge watch. Usually one and a half episodes at a time so if it ends on a climax I can see what happens immediately, none of this waiting lark. I no longer watch live programmes, well rarely.

I prefer series to films.

Went crossed eyed watching The Staircase on Netflix and The Keepers. ?both excellent.

The tv in my kitchen no longer works but I can play dvd's on it. As I get bored tidying up etc without a tv on I've started catching up on series that I have on dvd. Just finished watching The White Princess; have to decide on Breaking Bad series 2 or Outlander series 3 next. At least, in the kitchen, I can't fall asleep which I do when binge watching in the living room;I then have to rewatch it all. Took me ages to watch Years and Years properly...so wish Stranger Things was on dvd as I don't have Netflix. Binge watched series 1 at my daughters last weekend whilst house sitting....

I have watched all the Outlander series and I suspect will rewatch them from the beginning again, I’ve read most of the books too. ?

Labaik what an unusual name is it a place ?

Longest binge watch was all of MASH

Just made up, NanKate ! I'm not all that keen on Outlander but binge watched series 2 at my daughters whilst dog/house sitting [I seem to do that a lot since they got the dog !] which I wasn't really enjoying but the ending was so annoyingly bloomin' great that I immediately needed to watch series 3. Same thing has happened with Vikings. Just as I resolve to stop watching it King Rollo [swoon] appears on the horizon, back from France to save everyone.

We binge watched Line of Duty, Luther and Scott and Bailey and it is great! I love getting all settled and watching them like this. Really brightens up a boring sunday!

Just binge-watched Keeping Faith too, didn't wanbt to wait to find out what happened next! I agree though, it is nice to have weekly epiusodes to look forward too, but being able to watch whole series is great if you've come to them late

Oh yes I binge watch when I find something that grips me, outlander and recently the crown, so nice when this happens, something enjoyable to watch

One of the advantages of getting older for me is that I can re watch programmes I enjoyed..............with absolutely no idea of the ending.

Came very late to Madmen, then binge watched the lot. Loved it!

Do try Unbelievable on Netflix episode 1 rather repetitive but then the rest of the series gains momentum.

My favourite "binges" include The West Wing, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Oz, Rome, Breaking Bad, Frasier, Spiral (French). The West Wing and The Sopranos are my top two TV programmes ever. Incredible acting, directing, production values.
I'm a long time Outlander books fan (read Cross Stitch in 1991 when it was first published in the UK), I have watched the Starz series but do not think it does justice to the books. I appreciate most of the casting and definitely the acting, it's the writing/deviation from the books I dislike, although I do appreciate they are lengthy and difficult to condense.

Espee, me too! Works for books as well. We might as well take any advantage of getting older that we can get!

Yes, re-watched Peaky Blinders, re-watched Downton Abbey.
Loved Vikings, the Good Wife and the Good Fight, mostly whilst in bed unwell over the last nine months.
We don't watch much television on a day to day basis, except the News...
Binge watching helps with the boredom of lengthy periods of illness.

When we don’t know what to watch we watch Madame Secretary - she solves all the world problems. Also binge watched Unbelievable. Found The Staircase too creepy.

Realised I'd watched the last Game of Thrones series at my daughters then, when I bought the DVD gave it to my son to watch. So, having started to rewatch it before the final series comes out on DVD I realised I didn't remember most of it, so I'm binge watching that. Thank goodness the last ever series is being released quite early this time. Have already seen far too many spoilers....

Just watched the first episode of Criminal Minds on Netflix excellent.
