What I’m Watching: The Summer 2015 Edition #tvjunkie

Disclosure: *There is a referral link at the bottom of the post*

You know I’m a foodie and if you’ve been around here a little while you know that I love my television too.  A self proclaimed TV junkie I stay up watching television or when the hubs is away like to engage in television show marathons. Surely I’m not the only one right? 😉 The fall and spring are my busy television watching season. Some of my favorite shows from the regular television season include but are not limited to: Scandal, Grimm, Empire, all of the Real Housewives on Bravo and other shows on Bravo.. So while all of my regularly scheduled programs are on break for summer so here comes the summer tv to keep me company. Here’s what I’m watching: The Summer 2015 Edition!

Orange is The New Black

Alex and the crew are back on Netflix for Season three. I have been slow to watch the latest season, due to everyone’s not so stellar reviews on Facebook. I’m actually watching it as I write this. So the jury is still out on my opinion of OITNB so far. I’ll update once I’m done. So far.. episode three.. it’s ok. Nothing that is keeping me up at night. (And you guys know I’m a night owl!)

The Whispers

The Whispers on ABC is Mondays, 10/9 C. I actually watch it on Hulu. I was very happy to see Milo Ventimiglia on the show. I miss him from Heroes! Did ya here Heroes is coming back?! Yep. I’m excited.. anyways, The Whispers. When I saw the previews for it was a little weirded out. Maybe a little spooked, I tend to be a scaredy cat so those types of shows don’t really get my attention. But I started watching it one night and I’m hooked. I’m not going to give anything away, but let’s just say I’m glad the boys never had imaginary friends.. for long…. o_O.

Wayward Pines 

Here’s another kinda scary show that has me hooked! This is the Summer of Scary if you ask me! LOL Wayward Pines I feel started off kind of confusing, and now I know what’s up. The characters are super shady and I was so excited to see Terrence Howard until I realized what a dick he is.. (sorry if that offends anyone. That’s just what I thought about him.) The storyline continues to get better and I can’t wait to see what happens and if you didn’t know it’s directed by one of my favorite twisty-turn scary movie directors M. Night Shyamalan!

Devious Maids

The ladies are back and I’m still trying to catch up. I missed the first couple of episodes and can’t seem to find them anywhere. I watched the last couple episodes of last season so I’d know what’s kinda going on. I’m not sure what threw me off last season but it’s definitely a show I enjoy. There was a lot of online discussion about this show when it first started because the maids were all Latinas. One of the shows characters is no longer a maid, (Marisol is the educated one that was actually just being a maid to get information to clear her son.) she’s a wealthy lady but is still close with the other maids. Anyways, I’m keeping a close eye on Lifetime as the summer heats up with the Devious Maids.

Big Brother

This has been a summer tradition for me for a few years now. Sadly I can’t get my tv watching time to coincide when its on. We skipped the DVR when we got our cable subscription this move so I’m reading up on what’s going on via social media and blog posts. Hopefully I can get back into before the season ends.

Grace and Frankie

Grace and Frankie is a Netflix original show. I loved it too! Hollywood legends Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are some cheeky ladies and adding Martin Sheen and Law and Order veteran Sam Waterston are fabulous as a gay couple. I know it’s gotten a lot of great reviews. I can’t wait for season two and see what happens with the wedding.

Real Housewives of Orange County & Real Housewives of New York

My girl Bethenny is back on RHONY, yes I’m totally Team Skinnygirl. I would love to meet her in person one day. Anyways.. I’ll stop with the Bethenny loving already. In all seriousness, I have been a Real Housewives fan for a long time. The ladies truly are my guilty pleasure and I’m not embarrassed to say I watch those shows. Andy Cohen is a genius. #justsaying LOL If you like to watch these shows let me know so that we can gab Housewives!!!  I love the ladies in the OC, I think the addition of Meghan was pretty good too. She’s younger, but she’s definitely starting up some drama and I’m so glad that Heather is still there. She’s so freaking cute. Anyhoo.. enough crushing on the housewives…

Aquarius

Thanks to Hulu, I’ve actually already seen the whole season. Aquarius stars David Duchovny on NBC and it’s a great summer thriller. If you are watching it, don’t stop it just gets better. I’m actually wondering how long the show will run and if it will get into the Sharon Tate murder.. were you wondering the same thing? Can’t wait for season 2.

You can watch Aquarius, Wayward Pines, and The Whispers on HULU. Lucky for you, you can use this >>link << and try it out for a week! It’s my referral link so if you choose to sign up for Hulu I receive 2 weeks for free. If you decide to stay with Hulu you can share your referral link with your friends and also get free weeks. It ends with you, I don’t get anything else from more sign up etc. If not you can totally just go to Hulu.com and sign up on your own. No bigs. 🙂 Orange is the New Black is on Netflix.

I hope that you can catch a few of these shows this summer or add them to your must watch list.
