Entertainment of the Month: January 2016.

This past month or so I have binge watched a serious amount of TV. I thought I'd start a new series here on my blog, I mean, who doesn't love a good series right? I really enjoying watching TV and films, listening to podcasts, reading and a variety of things, so I thought I'd share the highlights each month.



This month has been particularly TV and film heavy even for me, but I'll throw in a pod-casts too that I listen to work.


Jessica Jones.

I don't know why I didn't start this series sooner, I guess when there is hype around things sometimes it puts you off? I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of watching this, it's slightly darker than your average superhero which is why this drew me in. It's set after The Avengers movies so there are cheeky little references to it, which I really enjoy but I kid you not, I binge watched about 10 hours in a row, I only stopped because it got to 4am and I needed sleep. I promptly finished it the next day and I am excited about where the next season is going to go.


Daredevil.

I watched the first episode of this when it originally came out and enjoyed it but for some reason didn't carry on watching it, however I immediately went back to it after finishing Jessica Jones. Again, thoroughly enjoyed this, it's visually and emotionally dark but addicting, it's definitely more action based compared to JJ which can get a little tedious, but I guess it's meant to impressive because he's blind, but I really enjoy the characters, I even started to like the bad guy a little. Very easy to binge watch and again, excited to see where this goes in the next season.



Making a Murderer.
Who hasn't watched this yet?! I LOVE real crime stuff, I've always been interested in dark morbid things and after hearing so much hype about it I started watching it to see what all the fuss is about. I'm not really sure where I stand on this programme, sure it's interesting and the story is one of a kind but it seems awfully bias, especially if you read about it all online after. I do really recommend you watch this but just enter into it with an open mind!



The Harry Potter Box Set.

I haven't watched the full set of films since I was much much younger and Nick has not seen all of them before, so we decided to watch through them together. I frikkin love these films, they totally stand the test of time, the magic is certainly still there and the cast so young is soo cute!!! I was so excited one night that we watched 2 films back to back and ended up going to bed very late but 1000% worth it. We only have 3 films left and this makes me super sad that they are going to be over soon. 

The History of Awesome - IGN Presents pod-cast.

Being a super nerd, I enjoy super nerd shit and if you are a super nerd then you'll enjoy this pod-cast. It starts way back when in 1977 and goes through all the awesome geeky things that happened year by year. They focus on video-games (obviously, it's IGN) films, TV shows, toys, gadgets etc. It's really interesting to re-cap all the cool stuff that happened, especially when it get through to the 90's where I could join in!

So that was my best picks of the past month, hopefully this upcoming month brings more exciting entertainment. I'm about to start a new book and I'm in need of a new TV series to delve into!

Let me know what shows you lot have been enjoying, because I would seriously love to know, I'm a proper TV nerd.
