- Broadchurch - dark and twisted and SO FREAKING GOOD.
- True Detective - Season 1 and 3 ONLY, season 2 was a full on disaster!
- Bloodline - yessssss
- Good Girls Revolt - on Amazon and it's everything. Binged it in 2 days.
And while we’re at it… a few of my favorite documentaries
- 13th
- Blackfish - get ready to ugly cry.
- My Octopus Teacher
- The Ivory Game
- Before the Flood
- Virunga - LMK if you're ready to go to Rwanda and save the gorillas after you watch this one!
- Racing Extinction
- The Last Dance - shockingly obsessed
And equally as important as what's on TV... what to make while you're mid-binge!
The Affair is totally binge worthy, can’t stop watching once you start.
I haven't watched Virunga, but I literally just bought tickets to Rwanda (I go once a year for a medical mission). I saw the gorillas there 3 years ago and it was by far one of the most amazing experiences ever.
OMG DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO CARRY YOUR LUGGAGE FOR YOU
Hell on Wheels is really addicting!
The Affair, definitely worth binge watching.
Sadly only one Season, but The Night Manager.
Also, The Fall The Killing,and Boardwalk Empire.
Love Chef’s Table. All of the pastry chef episodes are great, especially Christina Tosi. I also recommend Grant Achatz and Massimo Bottura.
Ozark
Bodyguard
Call The Midwife- my favorite on Netflix while eating your no crust apple crisp!
LOVE that series!! totally forgot to include it
Great list! Also must sees for you:
Camping-on HBO with Jennifer Garner and other favs. Hilarious comedy
Homecoming-on Prime with Julia Roberts. short 30 minute episodes, dark drama
other favs on Netflix: Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Person of Interest, Dexter
The Sinner on USA (1st season is on Netflix)
I am still in a food coma...
From your group on Facebook, I got Offspring. How you know it's a good show is the level to which you are depressed when you get to the end ! BTW - scared to make your pretzel knots for fear I will go down like I did with the coconut rice (why are carbs my enemy?! - rhetorical question :/)
Salt Fat Acid Heat was so good! I really wish that I was friends with Samin because she seems so personable and fun to be with. I loved that she loves food and wasn't afraid to show herself eating and enjoying food, refreshing especially for a woman. I was also blown away with how much salt she uses! I had no idea they turned Dirty John into a TV series. You'll have to update later if it lives up to the podcast :). Happy TV binging!
I"ll take downtown abby and those nachos please! We're also hooked on poldark!
We must have the same taste in shows! Thanks for posting!! Adding the ones on your list that I haven’t seen!
Some of my recent faves are glow, the killing and hell on wheels on Netflix. Poldark on amazon is so good. It’s a British show - the main character, adian turner is too cute!
Also, bought your cookbook and LOVE it!!
If you want a funny show to mix in with all these deep dark ones, try Schitt’s Creek. Eugene Levy and his son are hilarious.
Yes to Schitt’s Creek!! It’s so so good. Maybe my favorite show - ever?
Was about to say the same thing. Any best of TV list that doesn't include Schitt's Creek is just incorrect.
Handmaid’s Tale is . Watch that next, for sure! And add your tomatillo salsa to the binge recipe list. My fav to make for the weekend for snacks! Those pretzel knots are also a fave!
I am binge watching "The Great British Baking Show"
It is addicting and I adore Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.
Some of the recipes are totally European, but so interesting.
Paul Ho;;ywodd is the new Simon Cowell.
