8 TV shows/series to binge watch !

Hello Humans !!

So today's blogpost is a compilation of a few tv series that I really like watching. I can't say that they are my all time favourites - that is a far too difficult list to write. However, I would say they are very entertaining and I have binge watched most of them - hence the title of the article.

Also, this is not a post where I give you an idea of the plot whatsoever - watch the shows to find out. I have inserted trailers where ever I could find a suitable one. I have no idea what is wrong with YouTube search because fan videos seem to pop up first and I tried looking for the network's original trailers in vain - too many fan vids. Not that I do not like fan videos but YouTube has got to work on its search results ! Better get on with this list otherwise this will become a rant about YT XD

Enjoy !!

1. Gossip Girl

"Gossip Girl here - your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite"

The above sentence describes the whole show actually :p It about the drama in Upper East Side..

Blair Waldorf is the only reason I watched the series till the end. Also, it kind of satisfies everyone's secret desire of wanting the lives of these high class personalities.

2. Game of Thrones

You would be 'uncool' these days if you haven't started watching Game of Thrones. 6 seasons in, it is really gripping and you can never expect what is going to happen next. Also, it is probably the biggest show on television right now.

The first 2-3 episodes are a pain to watch to be honest - I could not understand anything. But you gotta keep watching.. after 5 - 6 episodes, you won't stop binging ;p

3. Sherlock 

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock <3 What better could you ask for??
This one is probably the best show on this list. Basically it is about the adventures of Sherlock and Dr Watson. There are not many episodes but all of them absolutely worth it.

4. Orphan Black 

Orphan Black is a must watch. I have already raved about it in two previous blog posts so feel free to check those out :)

Also, my favourite character is FELIX !!! <3 He is like gay best friend goals :p

5. Quantico

This one is damn good ! Not your average love story or cliche tv show. I have never come across any show like this before and I cannot wait for season 2 !!

6. Grey's Anatomy

12 seasons old and a 13 season on the way - there must be something about the show for it to have run for so long ! It is very very very dramatic. No one is perfect in the show and everyone is trying to be the best version that they can of themselves - basically living. You get to follow the storylines of various characters even if Meredith Grey is the lead of the show. Definitely my favourite !!

I had actually come across the season 8 finale on YouTube and it was so heart breaking. I went and binge watched the whole thing !! Never regretted !

7. Switched at Birth

This one is more for teenagers I think - but i love watching it anyway !! :p

title says it all :p

8. Mistresses

If you like the Gossip Girl vibe, then Mistresses will fill in the void for you. It is not on the Upper East Side and the people are not as rich, but the show still reminds me of Gossip Girl. Maybe due to the same writers.

Anyhow, gotta go

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 9 : Battle of Bastards | Thoughts & Spoilers

JON BLOODY SNOW ! MY HERO !!!

Hello humans of the world,

If you do not watch Game of Thrones, then please go live under a rock.

Today's episode was MASSIVE ! It made up for the last two somewhat boring episodes..
I assume those were something along the lines of  ' the calm before the storm' type of thing. And it really was !!

That Battle scene.. bloody hell.

Awestruck. It was amazeballs.


My love and admiration for Jon has grown to another level. That character never fails - he fights white walkers, he cheated death and even earned the wildlings' respect. He did show some nuance of hopelessness in the episode though.. first when all those horses were running towards him and second when he was being crushed. Yet he kept going on.
When he attacked Ramsay... I'm sure like me, most of you heaved a sigh of relief and were like : IN YOUR FACE MOTHERF**** !!!

Also, How gentlemanly is Jon? My heart melted a little when he asked Melissandre : 'Any advice?'
He has so much experience, yet how courteous of him <3

Additionally I wanted to punch him in the face when he asked her.. nope, ordered her not to revive him.
The grandeur of that battle scene was epic. It was filmed  on a huge scale and you could feel it was gigantic while watching. I wonder how that episode would have felt if I could watch it in a theatre. Better even in 3D !

And can we take a moment to swoon over the Knights of The Vale????? I have been waiting to see them in action ( even if it was not much). I just love the sound of KNIGHTS OF THE VALE. I used to love it when Lysa Arryn used to say that XD

New found respect for Davos! He is a sensible chap that one.
I can totally feel the tension mounting because he found the remains of Lady Shireen's pyre thing? and that little stag she used to carry around.
I wonder what this reveleation would mean for that Melissandre. I am grateful to her for Jon Snow's life but aside from that, me not very fond of her.

On a lighter note, I totally loved the conversation Davos had with the wildling :p

"Happy Shitting" - Tormund should have wished that to Ramsay before Jon smashed his face into a pulp.

Anyway Bolton : GONE !

Sansa for once used her brain cells and did not let the man control her life. Hopefully she is a wiser woman now - better be ! It would have been really shit had she not done what she did in the episode. I love how she did not get her hands dirty...someone else, say Arya might have demanded to kill Ramsay with her own hands. Sansa used Ramsay's ways itself. Thumbs up for that ! I have greater expectations from Sansa now. Though, I have watched the preview for next week's finale... that conversation with Baelish does not seem good.

Now that the Direwolf banner is back onto Winterfell, I am eagerly awaiting Arya's return.
Also, from the preview, is Jon the Lord of Winterfell & Warden of the North now?

Please do check out the making of this scene :

Mother of Dragons

Daenerys Targaryan never fails to impress.

I seriously hope that she and Jon Snow are somehow related. They both have shown incredible qualities and consistent growth.

Drogon is HOT btw! Pun intended :p The scene where the dragons destroyed pretty much everything did not surprise me because by now, that is the kind of reaction you really expect from Dany. Or maybe the battle scene was too much too handle, hence I could not salivate on this particular scene xD

Can we pause and take a moment to talk about the flirty conversation between Asha and Dany? LOVE LOVE LOVE !!! We already know that Asha likes girls.. it would be wonderful to see Dany step into foreign waters xD
Tyrion as always, uses his words as weapons. I miss Varys ! I wonder what mission he is on.

Anyhow, Game of Thrones <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Leaves me speechless ! Today's episode met the usual standards. Can't wait for next week !! If you haven't watched next week's preview, there you go :


On that note, penning off,
