One side effect of deployment is the need to fill lots of hours each week. Even though I’m working a fair amount (for my job), I still have plenty of time with nothing to do. I do read, but lately I’ve been on a Netflix binge. Lucky for you, I’ve created a quick start guide to binge watching.
1. If you don’t have an account already, sign up for Netflix (or Hulu). Better do it before they raise their rates for new customers.
2. Find a show.
3. Watch the show in as few days or weeks as physically possible.
4. Join the fandom.
5. Descend into madness.
5. Watch the show again.
6. Decide to watch another show.
7. Lather, rinse, repeat.
What I’ve watched this year:
Three seasons of Sherlock
Four seasons of Downton Abbey
Six seasons of Doctor Who
Firefly (only one season, le sigh)
What’s in my queue:
Nine seasons of Supernatural (two days in, I’m halfway through season one. Yeah.)
Seven seasons of Rules of Engagement
Six seasons of The Big Bang Theory
Three seasons of Game of Thrones
What I’m going to rewatch:
Four seasons of The Tudors
Four seasons of Greek
What suggestions do y’all have to watch?
I’m no rookie when it comes to Netflix but I had to click on this any ways! Love it! I started a new show that I stumbled upon somehow in the abyss called Lie to Me. It is so good!
I love Netflix! I haven’t watched any shows lately. Mostly just movies.
Love this post! I just got netflix recently and I’m so addicted to watching shows. I suggest watching New Girl, because it’s perhaps the funniest show on television.

Oh I used to LOVE Greek when it was on! I could rewatch that for days!! I am also a Desperate Housewives fanatic and can’t tell you how many times I have rewatched that series!
I’ve watched The Carrie Diaries. 3 seasons of Vampire Diaries. 2 seasons of Joan of Arcadia. I’m on season2/3 of H20 Just Add Water. I wan to watch all of the Big Bang Theory’s and i’ve seen several movies.
I am notorious for binge watching shows! Especially House of Cards.
We binge watched Doctor Who [Which if you have Hulu too, there are more episodes!} and House of Cards. Now we’ve moved onto Torchwood. Have you watched Serenity? It’s a must see for any Firefly fan 😉
After finishing classes in April and waiting for baby, I had a lot of time on my hnads! I totally resorted to Netflix. I watched the whole season of Breaking Bad in about a week haha!
Game of Thrones is on Netflix!? We recently bought all three seasons so that John could catch up. I agree with Jen, House of Cards is the best.
Party of Five! Although I’m a bit biased there because it’s my all time favorite. But I just bought the 4th season on dvd, and the plan is to rewatch the first three first, and then I’ll probably wind up buying the 5th and 6th season as well.
You should add The West Wing! Such a great show!
