I will admit it; I watch a lot of television. I just got a Roku, so now I have the ability to watch even more shows. Yes, I have a problem I need an intervention. But when I get home from work and the gym all I want to do is rest and watch TV. YAY! I also tend to catch up with other things while I am watching, like email, cleaning up, Twitter and of course my favorite thing in the world Pinterest. All of this keeps me on the pulse of the TV world.
I figured since I originally wanted to do more TV reviews on here, I can give you guys maybe my monthly TV favorites. I am totally stealing this from all the YouTubers out there who do this type of post.
1. The Following: Season 2
This is most definitely my favorite show right now. Joe Carroll is busy creating a new cult and of course trying to destroy Ryan Hardy in the process. Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy are awesome in this and seriously my fave match, they play off each other so well.
2. The Americans: Season 2
I really dig this show it’s about Russian spies living in the US in the 80’s. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys make a dynamic team. They live next door to FBI agent, who is secretly having an affair with a Russian and he doesn’t know that he lives next to spies. They always have some secret task that they are up to and it is fun to watch it play out. Plus the Russians are always super sexy!
3. Workaholics and Broad City
Both of these shows are on Comedy Central and basically they are very similar except one is focused on dudes and the other girls. Both are young 20-somethings who are raunchy, rude and crude and facing the issues of getting real jobs, sex and having fun with friends. I absolutely am addicted and I look forward to these shows every week. Adam DeVine is my absolute fave! If you like shows that use the lewdest, crudest words out there then you should watch this, they really push the envelope.
4. Lindsay
Yes, Lindsay Lohan now has her own reality TV show on the Oprah network OWN and I have to admit I am obsessed. I have always liked the Lohan, not sure why I just do. There’s something captivating about watching her face all her challenges from trying to stay sober to just waking up in the morning. Seriously this girl doesn’t get up till like 2pm everyday. I guess it is interesting to watch because usually we just see the demise of Hollywood stars and we never see the part where they try to pick themselves up and start again.
5. Bates Motel: Season 2
I am a big Hitchcock fan and I love the movie Psycho, so I just love this show. I have to say the best thing about this show are the actors. Freddie Highmore plays Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga plays his mother, Norma Bates. Together these two are an odd pair, she is a doting, loving, almost smothering mother and he, the son who will do anything to protect her. The bond they share is sweet, yet very twisted and weird. My favorite scene this season so far is when the two of them sang, “Mr. Sandman,” it was creepy, weird and just odd.

Intrigued by The Americans, maybe I should give it a look :).
Yes it’s pretty good, if you like spy stories then you may like this. Worth a shot!
I am thinking to do the same post, but got too lazy to write it lol. Anyway I only watch The Following from your list and stopped halfway of season 2. Though that pic of Lindsay looks really really good 🙂
Yes you should do it still, maybe we can start the trend over here in our blog world. Did you not like the Following?
Lindsay is surprisingly good, I don’t know why I like watching her life, it’s interesting to say the least !
Trend for TV recaps and such? Count me in 😀 I do watch The Following until the whole cult episode, then I just lost interest in the show.
You’re in trouble now – my blogathon is over so I’m spending time reading blogs. You’ll probably get sick of me around here. ; ) But I have nothing interesting to say on this one as I watch none of these shows… Lol. It’s mainly just movies for me. But nice post! : )
I could never get sick of you! Aww well maybe I gave you some TV ideas if anything. Thanks 🙂
I gave up on The Following after episode 6, season 1. Seems you think the rest of it is better now. I doubt I will ever give it a shot again, but we’ll see.
The rest . . . the rest I have never seen a minute of. 🙂
Yeah I liked it and I am still liking it. I like Kevin Bacon in it! I know you are way more caught up with movies then me, probably because I waste my time with tv. 😦
Movies are just as much time wasters. I just find a different way to waste it. 🙂
I know right but sometimes the time wasted is awesome!
Amen. 🙂
My favorite reality show is Duck Swamp Pawn Loggers.
I think all of those are on the History channel lol what happened to that channel?!
Loving Bates Motel this season! It’s been getting pretty good. I don’t watch the others regularly, but I have considered getting into The Americans at some point. I’ve heard it’s fantastic. And what I’ve seen of Workaholics is hilarious. Nice post, lady! 🙂
Thanks Cara! Yes Bates is pretty good he’s turning into a psycho right before our eyes. Considering we like a lot of the same shows, I think you would like the Americans. It’s not the best show out there but it’s worth watchin!
