I enjoy binge watching GOOD TV series. My most recent binge watch was "Mr. Selfridge" which I really enjoyed. I do my binge watching primarily via COUCH TUNER where you can watch most of the TV series of the past few years.
However, I don't like to waste my time on lousy series. Therefore list current or past series that should be on a MUST MISS list. I lead off with the new series "Tyrant." I wasted my time with it since it really STINKS. "Halt And Catch Fire" quickly went down the tubes as well.
Here’s the short list:
ALL
Including “Breaking Bad?” Sorry your list is WAAAAAY too extensive.
Well, my first nomination to MUST MISS is the Syfy series “Helix”....what a piece of boring, aimlessly ambling CRAP!
I just wish that it had the imagination and determination of the final episodes of Stargate Universe where, admittedly the first half dozen episodes were boring boring boring, DID try to redeem itself and produced a few good final episodes (after it had already self-injected itself with the cancellation serum). At least it ended with something hopeful. Helix will live infamy with the crap conclusion of that writer dope-induced series LOST [just damn. I am ashamed that I even watched that hallucination.]
Any Law and Order after Ben Bratt left.
Law and Order....SVU.....stink bomb
Any New Sitcom
99% new dramas
My binge watching favorites:
The Tudors
LOST
and for giggles:
Xena the Warrior Princess
Especially Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, anything in HBO.
I list all also. Television-free for 13 years and counting.
I watched Breaking through to the end. I’m glad I did. My SIL and daughter have been watching it on Netflix and I much enjoy teasing them about things to come. There have been one or two episodes where they are just awe-struck...The best is yet to come for them.
“Breaking Bad” was a FANTASTIC series. Let me guess? You don’t like it because it was about Meth? Guess what? Anyone watching that show would be scared of Meth.
Psst! You don’t need TV to watch the series. You can watch ONLINE via Couch Tuner.
Shameless
House of Lies
Girls (duh)
Cosmos
Orange Is The New Black
Who needs to watch crap that is just thinly-veiled leftist propaganda? I’m praying that Game of Thrones isnt filled with the same bilge when I start watching it today.
Anyway, I rather just scour YouTube for quality shows people have uploaded like “War Walks”. Stuff that doesn’t make you feel molested after watching it.

War Walks - The Somme
Under the Dome (Dumb).
The first few episodes were good but it has been a ridiculous free fall ever since. Season 2, ep.1 just aired and it was exponentially more stupid than the season 1 finale. It’s sad to think about what it could have been. I highly recommend missing this series entirely.
We find ourselves further out of the pop culture orbit with the passing of time. TV free for 12 years, we no longer know who the celebs are that are destroying themselves on the covers of the checkout mags.
But we have become friends of Austen and Dickens.
DITTOS to that! Don’t watch anything anymore — It is all mindless dreck. I can’t even watch Fox News — Too many commercials. I try to listen to talk radio, but it is also half commercials. Very frustrating!
