The August + September Watchlist

IHello, Lovelies. I'm mentioned countless times here that I love me some telly! Whether it's a good old Netflix binge, sitting down with a cuppa and a soap or cringing at some reality tv, I'm there and watching eagerly. So, I thought I'd round up the shows I've been in love with over the last few weeks and share it with you guys. 

Could I really have done this post without Casualty? It's featured in nearly all of my tv loves posts, and I'm certainly not about to stop now. Any episode is a winner for me, but with the recent feature length episode and that helicopter scene, they definitely upped their game. I'm absolutely over the moon they've brought back Alicia, and can't get enough of the Hardy/Knight brother combo. Step aside McSteamy and McDreamy - Brit Doctors definitely do it better!

Ever since Rosanna Pierce started mentioning Suits in her Vlogs/on twitter/everywhere, I knew I had to give it a shot. I'll admit that when I started watching episode one, I just didn't get into it. I took a break, and sat down again a week or so later, and ended up binge watching 2 seasons in the week. Yep. It's addicting. Harvey Spectre is definitely my newest TV crush, very closely followed by Mike Ross. 

I've seen a lot of chatter about this recently, and it was definitely a Netflix binge. This at times was definitely a bit too obvious for my tastes; in particular, the commentary which in all honesty I found a bit silly. That said, I found myself suddenly deep into the second series when I'd only meant to be watching the very first episode to kill a bit of time. Definitely one of those "so shit it's actually quite good" shows. A bit silly at times, definitely a bit obvious at times, but addicting nonetheless. 

Much love, Maxine xo

Recent TV Loves

Hello lovelies! As I've mentioned in previous posts, I do love a little bit of TV. Just a bit! So, I thought I'd share what I've been loving recently with you guys, 'cause I know I love reading what shows everyone else has been loving.

First up, we've got NY Med. I love a medical show - fake or real - and after downloading the entire series on Sky On Demand I've been binge watching this before bed. This is set in a NY Hospital and follows the real-life staff and patients. It's absolutely fantastic, like Grey's Anatomy and 24 Hours in A&E all rolled into one. If you like either of those, definitely give this a watch if you haven't already.

Next, probably the show that's had me most gripped through this entire month, Eye Candy. I was in two minds about watching this when I saw the adverts - it looked great, but often when a TV show looks great on the adverts, they've showed the best bits then, you know? But, I gave it a go anyway and I am hooked. I've heard that this has actually already been cancelled in America, and am personally putting forward the idea that Netflix should pick it up and give it a second season.

Now, and oldie but a goodie - Educating Cardiff. For anyone who hasn't come across this before, we basically follow the staff and students of a school - this time Willows High School in Cardiff - through the academic year. I've loved the previous Educating... series', but this is my favourite for one reason and one reason only - the staff. I'll be the first to admit that as a student I didn't fully appreciate the efforts my teachers went to. Few of us did, if I'm being honest. But, the staff in this school are amazing for two reasons, in my opinion. Firstly, they care. You see Mr. Hennessy in particular going above and beyond for countless students - I suspect any and all of them - and giving them chances where I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't. Second, and in my opinion possibly one of the most important things, is that they didn't all follow the same education path you see. In my school at least, it was very much you get your GCSE's, they're what you're stuck with, you either get A Levels or you go to work. No in between. I'll go more in-depth in another post maybe about why this matters to me in particular, but I think it's important for the students to see that sometimes, things just don't work out like that, but there's always a way.

Finally, I couldn't very well not mention Casualty could I? I feel like I leave this out a lot, but I've been gripped for my entire life on this show! One of my earliest memories is me being absolutely devastated when Sam was pushed over that balcony. That must have been 20 years ago now! The recent double weekend episodes had me absolutely gripped. I didn't know whether to be more upset at Dylan being on the boat, Charlie and his heart attack or the Zax pairing being blown apart! I had full Casualty weekends with snacks and everything. I am that gripped. Kind of like Britain's Grey's Anatomy or ER, this was my first trip into medical dramas, and will always be my favourite. Sorry, Mer! And,McDreamy and McSteamy don't hold a candle to the Hardy/Knight brothers.

Much love, Maxine xo
