Ask me whichever question(s) you like, and I’ll do my best to answer

16. Hahah yes, only a few hundred!!! On Netflix I have on my list: Elite, The Umbrella Academy, The Alienist, American Horror Story, Santa Clarita Diet, Afterlife, Turn Up Charlie, Maniac, The Crown, and Luther. On Prime I have on my watchlist: Lost, Lucifer, Person Of Interest, White Collar, and Prison Break

I also want to watch Roswell, Legacies, and The Perfectionists if they get added anywhere. Oh and Pose, True Blood, Hart Of Dixie, The Conners, and Bates Motel. So yes, just a few shows there :P There really are so many shows that it can feel quite overwhelming at times, so I usually end up constantly shelving the shows that are 22 episodes or more as they feel like such a big commitment, instead I just end up watching the shorter seasons of 12 episodes or less (usually on Netflix) that are easily bingeable


17. I would say Netflix, they always seems to be adding new shows that really catch on and get everyone talking, whereas I tend to keep Prime more for their back catalogue of shows, most of their originals seem really obscure. I do love The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, but that’s been about it so far. I was actually excited for Hanna, but then I found the first episode a bit slow and couldn’t really get into it. And most of their other originals don’t appeal to me at all, a lot of them seem really crime and action originated which meh, although I might check out the Dark Tower series when it gets made (kind of disappointing casting though...)

And with Hulu I’m a big fan of The Handmaids Tale, but otherwise I can’t think of much, although obviously I don’t get access to all of their offerings probably as here in the U.K. we have to wait for it to be picked up by another streaming service or channel. I did watch the first two episodes of The Runaways (included on Prime here) and it was okay, but I didn’t get that much out of it. I don’t mean this to sound dismissive to those that do enjoy the show, so I hope it’s not taken that way, buuuut if I’m completely honest I think it’s a show that I would have enjoyed more when I was younger. As it is, I found it a little bit hard to connect with at my advanced age. Sometimes shows with younger characters do really click with me still, but that wasn’t really one of them tbh


43. Well this is kind of a sad sack answer, but I don’t currently have any friends to watch tv with :P When I was younger I did try and introduce a friend to Farscape (the premiere and Won’t Get Fooled Again) and Angel (Faith two-parter from the first season), and I got the impression that she wasn’t that into them as she never asked to see any more at least. In hindsight they probably weren’t the best episodes to start out with idk

Also introduced my sister to Buffy with Surprise/Innocence and that went much better, I watched a lot more episodes with her after that on my old VHS collection. I find it a bit distracting watching tv with other people though I guess, because if they’re a newcomer to a show then I’m always very aware of their reactions and whether or not they’re enjoying it, and I’ve never actually sat down with fellow fans to watch a tv series together that we both enjoy
