Shows I love to Binge While Editing

Purple Star emoji 25 items
I am a lover of binging TV shows. I honestly like watching shows better than movies. The story is richer and more intense plus you can get really attached to the characters as it goes on and it almost feels like you've lost a friend when it's done. F...

Crime

My favorite crime shows to binge while editing! I can be a little picky about crime shows but these are all great ones and ran for quite a few seasons!

I love Bones, David Boreanaz is one of my favorite TV actors, and honestly he doesn't get enough hype. This show is not for the faint of heart though, there are a lot of really graphic and sometimes kinda scary moments throughout Bones's run. With ov...

There is some drama behind the scenes of Castle that shouldn't take away from the fun and clever moments the show has. There are tons of inside jokes that fans of Nathan Fillion will understand and some really interesting crime stories!
Castle

While also a comedy. This crime show is one of the most underrated and should have gotten much more publicity during it's run. Psych is clever, well thought out and has a fan base that would surprise you. They've had multiple movies made after the sh...
Psych

Reality

Reality TV is just as juicy as it is binge worthy. Here are my favorite reality TV shows to binge while you're editing.

I absolutely love how far reality TV has come. Especially shows like this. While I'm aware that not every single moment on these shows is real and there are some scripted moments, it's advertised as reality TV. Selling Sunset comes from the creators ...

With over 40 seasons to stream, Survivor is one of those shows that has withstood the test of time. It's a competition show with a million dollars on the line. Most people have heard of it and die hard fans have seen every season more than once. The ...

Back in the early 2000s The Hills (a spinoff of Laguna Beach) graced our screens while Lauren and her friends navigated life after moving to LA. This show will make you nostalgic for the times when everyone had Blackberries and remind you that everyt...

A continuation of Keeping Up with the Kardashians this show follows one of the most famous families in the world as they navigate life, business, and parenthood.

Fantasy

We all love ourselves a little fantasy. The idea of living in a world with magic and monsters appeals to most of us in some way shape or form.

I do think you need to have watched TVD at least once before it's a good editing show, it still deserves a spot on this list. The love triangle between Elena and brother's Stefan & Damon is one for the ages. The various love stories throughout th...
The Vampire Diaries

The vampire show that started it all. BTVS changed television in so many ways. It was way ahead of it's time (as most thing with Joss Whedon are) and showcases one of the most epic love stories ever to air on TV. Buffy, the vampire slayer, and Angel,...

While this one can be put in the crime section too, it's really more of a fantasy. It's a great way to relive all of your favorite fairy tales with a darker twist.

I would probably tell you not to watch the last season of this show as they lost 90% of their lead actors, that doesn't mean that the other 6 seasons of OUAT aren't amazing. Watch all your favorite fairy tales with a completely new twist. And you can...
Once Upon a Time

This show had more seasons that I can even remember, but is a wonderful way to pass some time while editing. Keep up with Sam and Dean as they hunt down the supernatural and avenge the death of their mother.

Medical

Medical dramas have been around just as long as crime dramas. They help us feel like we could be doctors and are getting an inside look at the lives of medical professionals.

This show has been on for so long it's honestly hard to remember life without Grey's. Can you believe some of the most iconic characters on this show were killed off almost a decade ago? Neither can I. It seems like Grey's Anatomy will go on forever,...

Both Medical and a Comedy, Scrubs will have you laughing and crying all the way through it's run.

A spin off of Grey's Anatomy this show is great for those who were big fans of Addison Montgomery during the early seasons of Grey's. Private Practice has long since ended, but is still a great show with wonderful characters. You can even see Kate Wa...

House was one of those shows with characters you didn't always know if you liked, but you couldn't take your eyes off the screen anyway which makes it a great binge worthy show!
House

Drama

A lot of these shows are going to be ones that you should probably watch at least once before using it as an editing show but that doesn't mean you can't try to go through it just editing at first.

I know most of the Gilmore Girls fans aren't super happy about where the series ended after the revival, you can't deny that the original show was mesmerizing. From Lorelai's relationship with her mother to Rory's positive and hopeful outlook on life...

The Good Wife is one of those shows that really sneaks up on you. It's an easy to watch show full of interesting legal cases and characters who's relationships are rich and interesting. There's even a spin off called The Good Fight.

Suits is currently taking Netflix by storm as they added the entire series earlier this year. It's a great show for those who are fans of the legal dramas and want to watch something a little bit more light hearted.

Sex and the City is one of those cultural shows that you can simultaneously know a lot and very little about. This show has been great to watch while editing during my slow season. It's a new show for me so I've been able to pay a little bit more att...

Comedy

Probably the easist of these to digest and watch while editing, there's something heart warming about most comedy shows. They showcase life in a more gentle and light way. We all wish our families and friends were like the ones in these shows. It wou...

This is really one of the most underrated shows of our time. Superstore ran for 6 seasons and even talked about COVID and the effects it had on retail. The characters in this show are so unique and lovable. Superstore's ensemble cast featured diversi...

This is one of those shows that really doesn't get old the more you watch it. Every time I've gone through Modern Family again I've noticed something different that makes this show incredible.

We all wish we had roommates like Jess did. While she may have been the worst character of the bunch this show is worth watching strictly for Schmidt.

One of those shows I'd be remiss if I skipped, The Office has plenty of seasons to keep you laughing even if you're only able to pop in for a minute.

This show gave life to 20 somethings life. While their apartment was really unrealisitic, the relationships that Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, Rachel, & Phoebe had were. Their love for each other was something that we can all relate to. When we'r...
