No, this is not a “what are you currently watching?” thread, as in, I’m not asking what shows you’re watching regularly, on a week to week basis…

…I’m asking, rather, what shows you’re watching two, three, four–possibly more–episodes EACH and EVERY DAY of, via…whatever outlet or streaming feature you use (Hulu, Netflix, others).

I’ve got quite a few going at the moment and all are on Netflix, currently:

_That 70s Show  
How I Met Your Mother  
The Twilight Zone  
Scrubs_  
The 100  
Californication  
My Name is Earl  
Once Upon A Time  
Arrow  
Bates Motel  
Being Human (US)  
Burn Notice  
Black Mirror  
Prison Break\*\*\*\*

\*rewatches

What about you?

This weekend I watched the entire 1st season of Stranger Things, and greatly enjoyed it.

\*\*The Block \*\*(Australia version) The most recent season of the Block with the art deco influences has been good as it’s forced the contestants to change any pre-conceived/planned styles they were going to put in. And I like art deco too.

And **Community**. I’d already watched Community once but it had been years (still hoping there’s the “movie”).

Just wrapped up the Rebecca years of _Cheers_.  
Now onto \*Frasier \*and _Man in the High Castle_.

I watched a handful of the first season of “The Affair” when it debuted. I lost interest and never looked back. Until a couple of weeks ago I binged the rest of the seasons. That show is really up and down in terms of plots and writing. I’m all caught up except for last nights episode which I watched a bit of before heading to work this morning.

_Narcos_ on Netflix. I’d forgotten all the crazy shit Pablo Escobar got away with.

Spent the weekend watching the entire first season of **The Magicians**.

Annoyed at one plot element I think is over-used in Hollywood these days and didn’t like the season ending, but otherwise enjoyed the show.

Currently in the middle of _Shut Eye_ and _Man in the High Castle._

Looking forward to _The OA._

4 eps a day? Who has time for that?!

I’ve been doing one ep a day - makes an hour on treadmill more tolerable.

I started with Daredevil on Netflix. Finished that which lead me to Jessica Jones - also very entertaining. Just started Luke Cage this morning.

Just started Chelsea Handler. Not quite sure how far I’ll get.

“The Russians” will probably be next.

_New Girl_

Absolutely hysterical and charming show. Can’t get enough, and happily there are a lot of episodes. We have to force ourselves to turn off the TV after 4-6 30 minute episodes.

Not really binging, but I’m catching about two episodes per week of Person of Interest. I didn’t watch it while it was on TV, but he whole run is on Netflix now.

Pretty good, but I don’t think Jim Caviezel can act his way out of a wet paper bag.

I’m into season 6 of _Supernatural_…almost halfway there!

When the HIGH temp for the day is -10 after being -26 overnight, you don’t plan on going anywhere. Makes a nice relaxing day binge watching and cooking.

After getting hooked earlier this year, we’re now into season 4 of “Shameless” (US version).

We don’t watch every night, but when we do watch, it is at least 2 episodes.

I just finished a rewatch of _The West Wing_\*

I needed reassurance that at some point in time, we expected/hoped that Presidential candidates ran for office because they wanted to serve the country.

Prior to that, I rewatched all of _Longmire_ and watched the newly released season after.

I’ve just finished this. What started as a routine procedural - albeit one with an interesting premise - ended up being _way_ better than that.

I just finished season 2 of \*iZombie \*last night. I have one episode left of \*Cosmos \*to watch (the reboot with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, not the original), which I will probably finish up tonight. After that, I’ll most likely start on _Luke Cage_, with _Arrow/Flash/Legends of Tomorrow_ lurking in the background.
