What I've watched on TV this week!

Thank goodness for TiVo!

So I wanted to do a little write-up on some of the TV I've watched this week...there's a lot! I've watched soaps, reality TV, dramas and a bunch of other stuff in between.

So let the showcase of my couch potato lifestyle commence! Spoiler alert of course!

Scorpion
So after a so-so season premiere last week, the second part was much MUCH better. Not only did it feel more intense, but there was just a lot more drama and less genius jargon. While my theory about Collins did not come true, I was 100% correct that he is still as crazy as he was before. I hope we see him again this season! And we have been left hanging about Cabe's fate. How can they arrest him for that? 

Will and Grace
YES! Just over a year after a Trump sketch got the ball rolling the sitcom finally returned and I watched the premiere episode. Like all other TV events/shows at the moment, it decided to get political, and to be honest I didn't like it. I like my Will and Grace a bit more whimsical, although there were some fabulous Jack moments that always make me smile!

How to get Away with Murder
Ah Shonda Rhymes you always know how to baffle me! Not only have the Keating Four been given the boot, but what is going on with Laurel? Why is she in a white room? Why is Annaliese's therapist involved? Where is Laurel's baby? So many questions! The premiere has set a fabulous mystery in motion, and I can't wait to see where it leads!

The Great British Bake-off
As I write this, I am watching Pastry week, with the pie showcase making me substantially want a meaty masterpiece like the ones I am seeing. Right now I am team Liam, but Yan's science knowhow and her inclusion in baking makes me root for her too. This show is so cosy, and I love watching it every Tuesday!

Strictly Come Dancing
My favourite primetime talent show, my list of predictions is already crumbling. I am not particularly surprised to see Alexandra and Aston nailing it already, with strong scores. My favourite Brian Conley has struggled so far, and my man Jonnie Peacock has been utterly sensational! Bring on Movie Week this week. I haven't seen the dances yet but I. Am. Excited!

Liar
Like most of Blighty, I was wrong as to who was lying, and now I love that they have gone full psychopath with Andrew for the remaining episodes. I really really hope they catch him, especially after what he did to Vanessa this week. 

Soaps
I am a bit inconsistent with my soap viewing so I am lumping Corrie and Emmerdale in together. They are both in the middle of seriously intense weeks, and I just watched the big fire/explosion/shooting in Emmerdale. All I will say is I seriously hope a certain character dies that is due to leave. I need her to die now! And after watching last nights Corrie, I was applauding Bethany for her taking the stand against Nathan! Take that evil man down!

What I'm watching on TV right now

I watch a LOT of TV. A dangerous amount. Whether that be on Netflix, an actual TV (because they still exist apparantly!) or on my iPad as I try to speed up my commutes or pretend to ignore the people bashing my shoulder as they walk through the train aisle.

The types of TV I watch are a bit all over the place, but some of the shows are not as watched so I am here to give them some recognition and love with a list of the 5 TV shows I watch the most. I will try to keep spoilers to a minimum.

And these are CURRENT TV shows, ones that have ended do not apply. And yes, that includes Sherlock! It took me about a month to get over that ending though!

Let the list begin!

1. Scorpion: This show HAS to be first because I love it. It's definitely an example of a show with less of following, but we Scorpion fans are out there! Basically it's about a group of geniuses who are given problems only they can solve, and most involved nuclear weapons, international problems, or some kind of major tech meltdown. I don't just love it because of the different cases they undertake, but the characters are just so much fun. It's quite a light-hearted show, but can also rain down the feels upon us at the right moments. Relationships between the characters also drive the series (yeah, those kinds of relationships). It's on ITV2 in the UK, and the first two series are on Netflix as well. Literally counting down the days until Season 4 starts!
2. How to Get Away with Murder: Viola Davis is an absolute powerhouse,  and the twists and turns in this show keep me coming back. The title kind of explains the plot, but it's much more complicated now so I shall just say it's a courtroom drama about law students. It is a bit OTT sometimes, but I kind of love that because it has that guilty pleasure vibe (a bit like Love Island!). Again I cannot WAIT for Season 4, and it's on Netflix for UK watchers, but they are a tad behind in episodes so be warned!
3. Victoria: I love a period drama (Mr Selfridge was my show for four years) and I am beyond excited for the return of this. I was already on board because Jenna Coleman has been in another show that I will talk about momentarily. But it wasn't just her that got my attention after I started watching Victoria. I love seeing this feminist icon in her early days, stripping away that battle-axe persona of Queen Victoria that is engrained in history. She was a romantic too! And it's on ITV so easy to catch!
4. Doctor Who: This is a difficult one for me, because since my beloved David Tennant left the show, I've had very mixed views on the doctors that have come since, and I am extremely apprehensive about the idea of a female doctor. That being said, I love re-watching the Ten era, Eleven has grown on me over time and the 50th is flat out epic. It's still current so it makes my list, although it's older eps that keep me coming back. Obviously this is a BBC staple, and it might be on a streaming service but I'm not sure.
5. Will and Grace: I know, I know, this show has technically ended, but it's coming back this autumn for two new series at least so it counts. I got into Will and Grace after watching their Trump sketch last year, and while I don't have the time to catch up on every single episode, I have a jist of what's happened, and I've watched the finale several times. It's just such a funny show, and because it's only half an hour, it's an easy watch without too much substantial thought. I don't know when it will be airing in the UK or what channel, but I will probably tweet it when I find out. (Shameless Twitter plug @bylauramfox)

So yeah that's my favourite shows right now. Shoutout to Castle which is over now but that show was SO good (we won't talk about the finale. Just go on Tumblr to see how they ruined the end!)

Sidenote: I'm not really sure where I'm going to go with this blog. I kind of just want to publish my thoughts and musings on things at the moment. We shall see.
