Binge Worthy Netflix shows - according to Ainslee

 Binge Worthy Netflix Shows....according to me!

📺

Since we have spent a lot more time at home in the past year, I have found myself in front of the TV more than I care to admit somedays. However, let's make lemonade from those lemons and share a list of binge worthy shows we have found on Netflix!

Our Current Binge: Gotham

My Current Binge:  The Queen's Gambit

Hubby's Current Binge: Unsolved

Bingeable (is that a word?!) with my hubby: - aka shows we can both tolerate as we have very different likes when it comes to shows...

• The Ranch
• Lethal Weapon
• You
• Suits
• Lucifer
• Longmire
• Unbelievable
• Shameless
• Locke & Key
• This Is Us (okay some arm twisting happens for this one...)
• Anything Marvel

Binge Worthy on my own

• Gilmore Girls (a classic I have watched many times over)
• Grace & Frankie
• Good Girls
• The Fosters
• Dead to Me

Shows hubby binges

• Meat Eater
• Vikings
• Animal Kingdom
• Breaking Bad
• Peaky Blinders

Shows we tried to binge but couldn't get into (usually get a season or two in...)

• the 100 
• Scandal
• Designated Survivor
• How To Get Away with Murder 
• Orange Is The New Black

And one bonus from another stream service that we LOVED.... Billions on Crave.
