In Case You Missed It...Catching Up On Great Network Shows Via Netflix
I admit that I may have a small Netflix addiction. However, in my defense as a busy working mom, I do not get to indulge as much as I would like to. Over the years, I have tried to find some time for the important people in my life, while keeping up with my favorite hobbies of writing and reading.
During that time there has been, and continues to be, many televisions shows that look interesting to me. Unfortunately it is hard to find the time to watch everything I fancy. And the DVR will only hold so much.
Here's What You Are Missing
Being Mary Jane
Being Mary Jane follows the life of an Atlanta based TV news anchor, and trial and tribulations of her personal and professional life. I will share that Mary Jane has a very exciting and challenging love life, that's for sure. I am hoping that Mary Jane gets a happy ending.
Girlfriends' Guide To Divorce
GGTD follows the life of Abbey McCarthy, a very successful self-help author, whose seemingly perfect life is anything but. She is going through a nasty divorce, trying to raise her two kids, and keep her crap together. The show is very funny and relatable.
Bates Motel
Out of the three above mentioned shows, Bates Motel was the most satisfying to watch. I won't spoil it for you, but it had an ending suitable for Norman Bates. So pick one, pour a glass of wine, or a nice mug of coffee, curl up with a a soft throw blanket, and get to binging.
What am I missing right now? Please share your recommendation with me!
Season Finale Depression...It's A Real Thing
If you are like me you love your shows. Life can be stressful at times, but for a couple of hours a week you get a complete escape. Or even better, and worse, you get 10 solid hours of escapism by binge watching something on Netflix.
It's amazing, right? You plan your whole day around it. And when you can't watch it on time, you avoid any possible spoilers like the plague. Once watched you can hardly contain yourself, wanting to discuss theories and possible plot lines with your love, your bestie, and your coworkers.
Sometimes, even with random strangers who happens to mention the show in passing. You are so invested, and so excited, but also starting to get this other feeling as things progress. A twinge of finale depression is coming on.
Supposedly all good things must come to an end. Sadly, this seems to be the case with our favorite shows. As each episode passes, and more questions are answered, the end creeps closer and closer.
You are excited for what is to come in the finale, you truly are, but also sad because you know the season will soon be over. A void will be left. Yes, you will try to fill it, but it just will not the same.
Here are some shows that have created voids for me...
Sex and the City (permanent void)
Scandal (last season sadness)
The Walking Dead (getting closer)
Stranger Things (almost here!)
WestWorld (2018 ugh)
Game of Throne (I can't even, the wound is too fresh)
The worst thing about our favorite shows is the wait. It used to be a few months in between seasons. Now it can be a year or more for a new season. Even worse in the case of GoT, as it will be the final season, so the return will be long awaited and bittersweet. What show leaves you with a void? Maybe nothing new. Bring on the nostalgia.
