Yes , this can be gory, but you will fall in love with many of the characters and their devotion to each other. This gives my hubby the action scenes he wants and me the drama to keep us engaged. We have rewatched this a couple times.

This is a long one, so if you want something to keep you busy for a while this is it. You will love the continuation of story lines for each character and be shocked at the newest season. We love this one!
Criminal Minds (TV Series 2005

This series takes you into another world. You are constantly worried about certain characters but love how they all tie in together. This is definitely more in the fantasy genre, but is fun, suspenseful and full of adventure.

Did that really just happen?

Show that have moments that have you questioning why you are watching them, but are so intriguing you have to keep going.

This was not what we expected but it has a really good story line. It’s oddly relatable, but also so far fetched you will question “what are they doing”? A million times. We are only on season two, but it has enough of everything to keep us going. Do...

This has it all! Crime, romance, family ties, action, and suspense. You will definitely be rooting for the anti-hero and really loving motorcycles!

This one will be gross sometimes and you will be worried for the villain. But he hunts the bad guys so that makes it okay, right? just kidding. But this one turns you into a detective and at the same time stressed in the best way,

Reality (guilty pleasure)

All reality TV is a guilty pleasure because you get invested in the people and talk about them like you know them.

We watch this every year and argue on who is going to pick the winner. We love the auditions the most. We love how quick the show moves now that it’s on ABC. We also love singing along to all the songs!

This is a guilty pleasure for a reason. Not all seasons are the same, but when you see a wreck coming, you can’t help but watch!

Although we have watched this with our older kids, this is a show we rewatch. The acting is so relatable. It has sports, drama, humor, and realistic scenes. This feels like you are watching real life happen and is a great comfort show.

This was my favorite before I introduced my husband to it, but once I did-we will claim our personality as one of the characters in each episode. This one makes me laugh even if I’ve seen an episode 400 times.
New Girl (TV Series 2011–2018)
