As Aaron and I sat there watching the final episode of Stranger Things 2 (if you haven’t heard of it or seen it, where the hell have you been – under a rock?!) I said it’s amazing how Netflix has totally transformed how we watch TV and movies. My cousin Tammy and I are probably among some of the worst self confessed serial binge watchers of all time – but we were doing it way before Netflix and it’s release on society which has turned us into a pair of pyjama wearing hermits that socialise out of necessity not choice.
I sat here tonight thinking about the shows I’ve binge watched over the years and wanted to be honest (with myself more than anything) about which shows I’ve sat there and watched – start to finish. So without further ado, here’s a long old list of amazing (and some shit) shows and some short thoughts on each which I’ve binged on;
- Desperate Housewives – ahh where it all began, I’ve watched this whole series 3 times and love the drama!
- Devious Maids – along similar lines to Desperate Housewives, I haven’t stuck with the most recent episodes though
- Friends – classic, don’t think I need to say any more
- Pretty Little Liars – terrible ending, but I stuck with it as I’d watched for years and wanted to know who the hell “A” was
- The Vampire Diaries – cringe at first but stick with it, some blood, gore, fight scenes, vampires, werewolves, witches. What more could you ask for?!
- The Originals – a spin off from the Vampire Diaries, again, bit cringe and they call each other “brother” and “sister” all the time which is slightly annoying, but a great programme overall
- Breaking Bad – another classic, takes a while to get into though. One of THE best endings to a series
- Ugly Betty – hilarious, quick wit and a bit of drama about the life of an “Ugly” girl working at a high fashion magazine (for the record America Ferrera that plays Betty is beaut)
- Dexter – another terrible ending, but a great show up to the last season
- Once Upon a Time – I actually stopped watching this as it got a bit tired, but loved how they intertwined so many fictional fairy tale characters into one show
- Grimm – amazing for those fantasy fiends out there and lovers of classic Grimm brother tales
- Game of Thrones – now what kind of TV binge watcher would I be if I didn’t include GOT?! Fire, ice, dragons, dead or alive, this is one of the shows of our time!
- Hannibal – quite recent, very grim and not one to watch late at night because…nightmares? Think murders, cannibalism… you get the drill
- Riverdale (most recent) – a little over rated but still a good show with a good old whodunnit plot
- Keeping up with the Kardashians – I was once a hater and now a lover, what more can I say? I love me some trash reality TV
- Better Call Saul – a little while to get into but great that you get to see Saul before his Breaking Bad days!
- Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – my favourite comedy series right now ” PINOT NOIR”
- Crazy Ex-Girlfriend – takes a while to get into and the musical style singing is a bit bizarre at first but it’s pretty funny
- Revenge – a great one which had an OK ending, but not amazing. A daughter seeking vengeance for sins made against her father
- iZombie – a funny, gory drama – human brains cooked into some snazzy dishes, lots of hot sauce and energy drinks
- Love – I think I watched this just because… it was OK but not so amazing that I’d run and tell everyone about it, a bit of an opposites attract storyline
- Grace & Frankie (I need to watch the latest season still) – Jane Fonda is amazing in this, but a lighthearted comedy about a pair of pensioners who’s husbands leave them after having a career long affair
- Orange is the new Black – well duh? Women in prison? Got to be a winner
- Bad Girls – the original UK women’s prison series and a classic
- Stranger Things – AMAZING for those that love the 80’s, some fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons
- 13 Reasons Why – thought provoking and quite dark, but a good show highlighting awareness around teen’s use of social media and suicide
- Bates Motel – ahh the start of Norman Bates, his insane mother and the making of a monster
- House of Cards – I loved Kevin Spacey and he’s on point in this series out to dominate the world. However given everything that’s coming out about him in the press, it’s made me reconsider my opinions and how I view him as an actor
- Making a Murderer – a classic Netflix original documentary about the very odd circumstances surrounding a murder
- The People vs. OJ Simpson – a dramatisation of a real life murder trial that brought the Kardashian family to the limelight, really enjoyed and learnt a lot about the trial that I didn’t know before
- American Horror Story (I need to catch up on the latest season) – gruesome, frightsome, downright terrifying at times? If you enjoy that then I’m sure you’ll love this series
- Gilmore Girls (twice so far) – lovely heartwarming show, the Grandma is by far my favourite
- Narcos (another one I need to catch up on) – another dramatisation series of the infamous cocaine druglord of the 1990’s Pablo Escabar. Be prepared for lots of subtitles for the Spanish lingo
- Gossip Girl – XOXO uptown New Yorker socialites and a social media tormentor?
- The Crown – the British Royals being portrayed at their finest, what more could you ask for?
- Shameless (UK) – classic representation of life on a down and out council estate in the UK, lots of drama and lots of laughs
- How to Get Away With Murder (yet another I need to catch up on) – a little bit cringey (the guy that plays Dean Thomas in Harry Potter is the lead in this series) but a good one to fill in your time
- The OA – very bizarre, but in a good way
- Lemony Snickett’s – A Series of Unfortunate Events – I love Neil Patrick Harris and he doesn’t disappoint in this one
- Girlboss – a bit meh at times, I wanted to see more but found out they weren’t doing another series
- Jack Whitehall’s Travels with my Father – HILARIOUS! Michael Whitehall is the bluntest man alive and watching the two of them together makes for a bundle of laughs
- Walking Dead – who doesn’t love a series based on a zombie apocalypse, where they never actually call them Zombies?
- Geordie Shore – this is one of mine and Aaron’s guilty pleasures, rowdy lads and lasses out on the toon getting mortal?! Trash reality TV at it’s finest!
Now, I realise 43 shows is completely outrageous and I did warn you that I’d watched a lot. Like a lot a lot. Actually, this has made me realise how much of a hermit I really am. I think there are probably more, but I can’t remember right now. The main point is – I enjoy it. I’d much rather chill at home than spanking my money at a pub/club I don’t really want to be at, wondering how I’m going to get home.
Let me know in the comments if you think I have a problem and best of all – whether you’ve got any recommendations for me!

Hi there! I want to share with you a very important message going around the internet.
Would you comply if your government forces you to receive a microchip implant?
This is the future we are heading towards with RFID microchip technology.
Even more news worthy, did you know there was a man almost 2000 years ago who foretold of a cashless society in the last days? His name is Jesus.
Did you know that this RFID Microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in Revelation 13:16-18?
“He(the false prophet) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Revelation 13:16-18).
Referring to the end times, this could only be speaking of a cashless money society, which we have yet to see, but are moving towards. Otherwise we could still buy or sell without the mark among others if physical money was still currency. This mark could not be spiritual, because the word references two different physical locations on the human body. If it was spiritual, it would only say in the forehead.
Mr. Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads of state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The US government commissioned Mr. Sanders to engineer a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world-a microchip that could be placed under the skin with a hypodermic needle(a fast, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, along with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by US tax dollars, took on this challenge and designed a chip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable by the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible(Carl Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one and a half million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip placed under the skin.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand(the two locations Revelation says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient locations, but are also the only viable spots for rapid, consistent temperature fluctuations in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The RFID microchip is about seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of holding pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Carl Sanders believes that this chip, which he regretfully helped engineer, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16-18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick. Carl believes this is referring to the use of a hypodermic needle being poked into the human flesh to insert the microchip.”
Carl Sanders spoke with a doctor asking what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation has to say:
“And the first(Angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
The Bible tells us we cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast, or the number of its name. This number is identified as 666. The Bible tells us to calculate the number 666.
In this world we are identified by numbers, whether it is our social security number, drivers license, or cards used to make payments. The number of the beast represents something like this, to identify us in a one world government system. This number will be contained within the RFID chip to identify us so we may buy or sell.
To see the hidden meaning behind calculating the number 666(6+6+6=18), and how it aligns with scipture perfectly,

The Bible warns us in the end times that a false prophet will rise up doing miracles to deceive many to take this mark. Whatever it takes, do not take it!
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
With all these religions in the world, how can we be sure the Bible got it right? The scientific data has established and continues to support that the universe once had a beginning in which space, time and matter were created. Many know this as the big bang.
“The non-biblical religions tell us that god or god’s create within space and time that eternally exist. The Bible stands alone and says that time and space don’t exist until God creates the universe.” – Hugh Ross
Did you hear that the real Noah’s Ark was discovered where the Bible told us it would be with the correct dimensions? As well as hard evidence for the destruction of Sodom Gomorrah and the Exodus account of the Red Sea crossing?
The Bible is the most translated and read book in the history of the world, full of predictive prophecies. Wouldn’t you expect God’s word to be so?

“And He(Jesus) said to me(Apostle John), “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts” (Revelation 21:6).
“Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water(the Holy Spirit) that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:13-14).
“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ (John 3:5-6).
All religion is man-made. Man can create religion, but no one can create the Holy Spirit that comes from God out of Heaven. Jesus never told us to follow a religion or denomination:
“Then He(Jesus) said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).
You can receive the Spirit of God right now. If you are willing to humble yourself before the Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead on the third day; call out to God and ask Him to forgive your sins, to receive His Holy Spirit. If you are genuine, He is faithful and just to forgive, and He will give you a new heart, a renewing of the mind, restoring everything the devil has stolen from you; making you like a child again.
When we receive the Spirit of God, we become born from above, and His seed resides within us. We no longer make a practice of sin, but rather turn away from unrighteousness and receive the righteousness of Christ.
From that point onward, we must put all our hope and trust in Jesus, and grow to walk in His ways, not straying from the narrow path. For Jesus says,
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).
“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty(One God), Who was(Jesus) and is(YHWH) and is to come(Jesus)!” (Revelation 4:8).
