JCC Best Binge Watching of 2015

Just finished season 1 of Orphan Black, and declare it the best binge watch of 2015 so far.

tv seems where it's at for quality sci fi and watchable comic book superheroes. With the exception of Ex Machina, I wouldn't have willingly gone to the theaters for any sci fi out so far this year.

I put Orphan Black season 1 ahead of House of Cards and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but hopefully behind the upcoming new season of Orange is the New Black.

 

Daredevil.

 

I'd put Daredeveil ahead of House of Cards as well.

 

Nic Cage movie night. You know you want to.

 

Between Comedy Central showing Archer on Monday nights and FXX airing a nightly block of Archer episodes at midnight on some nights of the week, I've been getting reacquainted with the earlier seasons of the show.

 

Knowing, Next and Left Behind triple feature? I'm in.

 

Nah I was thinking Leaving Las Vegas (get the most depressing one out of the way), Adaptation, and end the night with the always great, Moonstruck.

 

so Nic Cage, and not his evil twin.

 

since july 6th, 2014 i have watched i think 51 nicolas cage movies ama

 

I've binged twice so far this year, and been disappointed in neither.

House of Cards was not the epic season two was, but it was enjoyable none the less. For the shortcomings it had, it seemed to embrace binge watching more than the first two seasons, and put a flow to the episodes that invited binging.

Daredevil was the other, and, again, I found it extremely enjoyable and that the creative team put effort to make it better to binge than to piecemeal.

Have heard fantastic things about Kimmy Schmidt, but haven't tried it out just yet.

 

I binged Stargate SG-1 a couple of months ago and now I am trying to binge as much of the Avengerverse as possible before going to see Age of Ultron with my brother.

 

Bones

 

My cat sleeping

 

What time is it?

 

1

 

I'm watching Daredevil and then Elektra tonight. Don't know if that counts.

 

Been binge watching a lot of the Crasher shows on the DIY network.

 

Daredevil and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for me. 30 Rock has been fun to binge, too.

 

I watched the first 15 minutes or so of Kimmy Schmidt and turned it off

 

Director's Cut of Daredevil was pretty underwhelming.

 

Daredevil and Supernatural.

 

Orange is the new black. Will be binge watching the final two seasons of Breaking Bad over the weekend.

 

Sons of Anarchy.

I just finished the final season on Netflix last night and figured that's pretty much the only way the series could end. I'm Jax said what he said that he's a bad man that does bad things; a criminal.

 

Netflix is airing Between in weekly installments, violating the sacred vow of binge watchability for their original content. Though I guess technically it's not original content but is also airing on Canadian tv, whatever that is.

I did not know Jennette McCurdy could act, but she can. She successfully fake-delivered a not baby, which is the official litmus test for whether child actresses can make the transition to grown up acting parts.

Great virus outbreak premise. It only kills adults, just like the virus in the eighth episode of season one of the the original Star Trek, starring Mattie Ross from the original version of True Grit. It's like Miri, but captain Kirk is already dead, and John Wayne is also dead, so no one is going to make that long horse ride to the nearest doctor. Although I think it's so much better that Mattie doesn't lose an arm even though if I recall correctly that's what happens in the book.
