Well, we moved to our apartment, I had a ton of time on hand and my dear husband got us Netflix. That's it, I never knew that streaming media could have such profound effects on my serotonin levels. Of course I was going through 'what I should do with my life' syndrome and as is common with me, I wanted to sometimes just not think about it. And this began my binge watching time and binge watch I did! I got addicted and as with all addictions, I didn't want to talk about it but secretly fed the addiction with more and more screen time. Finally I did get away from it, not completely ;) but whatever I watched I loved it! Now, don't go binging but if you want some mental stimulation, some thrill, some fun, then here's my list.
Damages
Legal thriller starring Glenn Close and Rose Byrne
Brilliant plot, fast paced and slick!
Revenge
Drama, thriller starring Emily VanCamp and Madeleine Stowe
Rich lifestyles, political drama, personal tragedy and revenge!
Suits
Legal drama starring Aaron Korsh and Patrick Adams
Handsome and intensely intellectual men and subtle humor
Lie to me
Psychological crime drama starring Tim Roth
English accent and humor, interesting science and good storyline
Switched at birth
Good ol' family drama starring Katie Leclerc and Vanessa Marano
Teen drama, Spanish romance and interesting storyline
Highly overrated series according to me - Breaking Bad
Crime drama starring Bryan Cranston
I couldn't watch beyond three episodes! But so much has been said and written about it, I am going to give it another shot.
So -so series - Good Wife
Political and legal drama starring Julianna Margulies
Not very fast paced and predictable
In my list -
House of Cards
Political drama adapted from a British series starring Kevin Spacey
Yes Minister and Yes, Prime minister
Satirical political British drama
I am severely partial to British shows, series and humor. So listing a few of my all time favourites.
Sherlock
British crime drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch
Obviously, no introduction needed!
Hercule Poirot
British crime detective series starring David Suchet
Again, no introduction needed.
Fawlty Towers
British comedy starring John Cleese and Prunella Scales
Be ready to fall off the chair or sometimes just that feeling that spreads in your chest when the humour is subtle
Fry and Laurie
British comedy starring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie
What can I say!
Monty Python
British comedy starring John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin
:D :D :D

Hey Rathi.. I have watched revenge and lie to me.. and i liked it too.. you can try watching drop dead diva.. you may like that one too!!
I love binge watching! It is the only thing that keeps me sane in the winter :)
Do you like supernatural mystery/drama? I am a huge fan. You should try X-files, Fringe (not too sure about last season, but you can skip it), and Buffy the vampire slayer. I am now on a LOST binge.
I wish Veronica Mars was still on Netflix. It was on for just 3 seasons but the first couple are the most wittiest mystery/thriller I have ever seen. If you have Amazon Prime membership you can catch it there!
Oohh.. I had to add a couple more :D
The IT crowd and The Inbetweeners. Both are British and absolutely hilarious.
I have heard that Breaking Bad does take a while to get interesting. I haven't watched it yet, but definitely on my list.
Not heard of drop dead diva Chaitra, will see if I can find it!
Ha ha! Yeah for Boston winters, I am sure that's the best thing to do! X-Files, you remember, it used to come on star TV when we were kids. I did start watching here because I used to love it as a kid but maybe because it is so old, I lost interest! Others I will check, I have not heard. IT crowd, I watch, Inbetweeners, will find it.
