I have been trying to stop binge-watching television and try and watch as a responsible adult aka no more than a few episodes in one go. While some days I am successful, on other days I fail miserably. It is work in progress, but in the meantime I am sharing the last five shows I have watched on Netflix in the last couple of months.
Ozark - Season 2
If you loved the Season 1, then do continue watching. The world gets bigger, the stakes get higher, and the violence more frequent and dangerous. It expands and grows without ever bogging down or dragging. The plot moves swiftly and with urgency, and character growth, especially among the females, was well-earned...The season is mesmerizing and merciless.
The Haunting of Hill House
The Haunting of Hill House is not only super scary, but this family drama is also fantastically well made. One could argue that the scariest part of the series is how eerily spot-on the casting is between the children, the parents and their grown-up counterparts.
House Of Cards - Season 6
Netflix's original flagship drama, this time without Frank Underwood. The series moves to its final season now anchored by Robin Wright's Claire Underwood. Claire was always the most interesting character, to be honest. While many have been complaining about the season, I thought it was bold and badass.
Bodyguard
Pure, can’t-take-your-eyes away entertainment that’s bound to have you saying “just one more episode before bed.” It is a well-crafted crime thriller, which is what the BBC does best, that gets better and better with each episode. We binge-watched it straight over the weekend.
Patriot Act With Hasan Minaj
Hasan Minhaj has now followed in the footsteps of John Oliver (Last Week Tonight). There’s no desk, no correspondents; instead, the focus is almost entirely on Minhaj, who delivers jeremiads about the subjects of the day — such as the affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard, or the international crisis surrounding the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi — while strutting the stage, with helpful graphics popping up in the background.

What have you been watching lately?
Moving on the the outfit post ... Last year I had shared about prAna - a sustainable brand - with you guys. I am excited to feature them again today with one of the most stylish jackets I have every worn. The Diva Jacket is soft, warm, true-to-size and super flattering. It is also a perfect layering piece, while thick and warm enough for the transitional weather, it is also light enough to be worn under a heavy coat during peak of winter. This is going to be one of my go-to pieces this season. You can also check out their winter collection and use the code: WPTRF18 to get 15% off your order.

Wow it's rare for me to find a show I haven't watch and I haven't seen any of these, yesterday I've finished The Chilling Adventure of Sabrina so I'm looking for something new
ReplyDeleteThey sound like really good shows, perfect for this time of the year
ReplyDeleteI have netflix but I don't watch it often, can you believe it?
ReplyDeleteI've seen all of these (too much time on my hands) except The Haunting of Hill House! That's next on my list.
ReplyDeleteCurrently watching haunting of hill house and I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha these are *definitely* not my kind of shows, but I bet so many people enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't with House of Cards! I guess I'm not that much into political drama. Ozark is fantastic, I with the seasons were longer!
ReplyDeleteI've heard that Ozark is a really great show! Haunting of the Hill House sounds like something I could watch.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched any of these but I am currently watching Meet the Fosters and LOVE it!

I don't like the horror genre so avoided "Haunting..." at first but was very impressed when I finally got to it. More psychological than horror. How the children deal with their family situations and grief was compelling.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the critics who panned the last season of "House..." were Wrong (as in Robin Wright Wrong). Putting the focus on Claire was intriguing, especially with her long rivalry with Doug. Great acting by both of them. And nice to see Constance Zimmer in anything.
My husband and I just finished Ozark and we can't wait until season 3 comes out! So good!
ReplyDeleteAh I've heard Bodyguard is so good! That's next on my list!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! I haven’t watched any of these yet but have been hearing great things about The Haunting of Hill House and Patriot Act. Can’t wait to watch them!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome to hear that House of Cards has stayed such a good show without the previous main character. I'll have to check it out!

I love Ozark! Have you seen the promo that Hasan did with Tan France from Queer Eye? It's hilarious!

I watched the first episode of Hill House and have yet to go back to it. I liked it; I'm just not super intrigued yet. Also watched three episodes of Bodyguard but not sure how I feel about it either. I think I'll give Hasan's show a go. Been hearing a lot of good things about that one.

I've heard such great things about the Haunting of Hill House. I loved the original movie with Liam Neeson so I may have to check this out too!
