Liz Ryan’s Summer Binge Watching List

This one might take a few weeks or months (depending on your dedication) but there has never been a show that fascinates me more and has shown to be almost prophetic in it's situations.  The writing is superb, the acting is better and episode one to the final episode will make you feel as if you are an expert in all things Government.  If you dropped off after Rob Lowe left the series, start from the beginning and watch all the way through.

This is our current binge watching experience.  We seem to like shows that are more wit than slapstick, but this has both.  It's also surprisingly touching in places.  This is our pick for fun and funky and cute and quirky.

Because you MUST RESPECT THE DOCTOR.  Well, let's be clear.  I recommend the current series.  It's really stupid sometimes but there is just something about The Doctor that keeps you rooting for the human race.

This one isn't on Netflix but it's in box set and worth every penny.  I will tell you that your husband will walk out of the room in protest but it is a great movie for anyone who has heart, loves smart humor and has the idea that there is a place in this world where people love each other, even when they hate each other.

Start with the BBC version.  If you understand British humor at all -- that's the ticket.  It's also only two seasons and two specials, so it doesn't take long.  After that, move to the American version and watch Dunder Mifflin from start to finish.

If you don't mind a little serial killing with your breakfast.

After you watch it, please explain it to me. . . .

This is the only non-series show I'm recommending.  There are six hour-long episodes.  If you think you know about the concentration camp of WWII -- you will be astounded.

Because it is totally and 100% awesome and it doesn't matter what you think and it doesn't bother me if you make fun . . . because it is....awesome.

Rowan Atkinson is comedy genius and, if you like a little Monty Python, you will love (LOVE) this.
