XFINITY partnered with me for this Perfect Winter Binge Watching post and as a part of this program I received compensation for my time. As always all opinions are my own.
Stay warm in your house with this list for Perfect Winter Binge Watching
I don’t know about you, but I don’t exactly care for winter. Cold weather and me just aren’t the best of friends. So I love a good winter weekend spent in my warm house, under a blanket and binge watching some good tv. That’s why I wanted to put together this list of Perfect Winter Binge Watching.
If you remember last month I put together my list of Winter TV Premieres to See along with what I found out about Google Fiber coming to Nashville. So I’ve continued on with my checking out to see what great features are offered, as part of a sponsored campaign with XFINITY, by XFINITY has that Google Fiber doesn’t have. So today I’ve got one for winter binge watching that you need!
- Lost– There is only one other show I have binge watched faster than Lost. And the only reason I was slowed down on Lost was that I was binge watching it with my dad and brother and they had jobs and school. I was in between college and my first job when my dad, brother and I watched five seasons of lost in a month and a half. It’s great show for binge watching because you just can’t stop.
- Prison Break– This show I binge watched in an embarrassing 2 1/2 weeks. It was winter, Tyler and I were engaged but living 12 hours apart so my nights were boring so I watched multiple episodes a night to fly through this series. I am a huge fan of this show and so looking forward to it’s return soon!
- The 100– I like to call this the teen version of Lost. It’s full of twists and turns and I loved binge watching it! You won’t be able to stop after just one episode and a bonus to this show is it’s still going, having just started it’s 3rd season on The CW.
- New Girl- We always end up falling behind on this comedy and it’s so funny! We love watching it and it’s perfect to binge on!
- Downton Abbey– I am going to be so sad to say goodbye to this show in just a few short weeks. So sad that I may have to start it all over and watch from the beginning. It is a fantastic period drama that you just won’t be able to get enough of.
- The Good Wife– I always tend to fall behind on watching this show live so when I’m ready to watch a good law drama I turn on The Good Wife and binge watch some episodes and it’s so good!
- House Hunters– Ok I mean who can’t just sit there and watch episode after episode of House Hunters? I know I can. And because winter is a great time to work on projects inside your house that makes any HGTV show a great binge watch to give you all kinds of good ideas!
So how many of you have been stuck on a good binge watch, but then your husband or someone in your family has something on tv they need to watch? With my husband it’s normally some sporting event, a basketball or football game or a golf tournament. I want him to be able to watch his shows but at the same time I want to be able to binge watch or even watch my live shows. That’s why the Cloud Technology from X1 is perfect, you can stream channels live to your device while connected in your home so everyone gets to watch what they want! This is a crucial feature of XFINITY that we love that Google Fiber doesn’t offer for us.
So I’d like to hear what shows you just have to watch or binge on while someone else in your family has got the tv taken over?
I love TV-binging! I really need to catch up on Downton Abbey and The Good Wife!
I need to catch up on The Good Wife too, such a great show!

We have a lot of the same taste in tv shows. I love binging on Netflix during the weekend when I have absolutely nothing to do, it’s great. I had forgotten all about house hubters’s, I’ll have to check that outhe again.
House Hunter’s is one of my favorites! Such a good show!
Emily
Never got into Downtown Abbey, but basically the rest of the world is talking about it! 😉 I did a binge watch of Making a Murderer and LOVED it. I would LOVE to watch House Hunters over and over!

Oh you need to watch Downton! It is so good!
Emily
Lost was such a great show. I never finished it but I loved it. The 100 is one – along with Walking Dead – that the fiance and I are obsessed with. We never miss an episode. Yes, it’s more teen targeted, but we love it. Currently, when we’re not watching something together, I’m binging on Friends. 🙂
Yes I love the 100 too even though it is a teen show, I don’t care haha!
Emily
I loved Lost, I need to check out The 100! Living in Florida, we tend to hibernate in the Summer, when it’s 100 degrees, the Winter is our outside time!
Haha that makes sense! You should definitely check out the 100!
Emily
Wow, just what I need if it snows again this weekend or even at night for entertainment. When I’m really tired, I am unable to read so I need to find some good tv series! Great list!
We are expecting snow this week so I am excited to curl up on the couch and watch some of these shows!
Emily
ahhh Downton. So sad this is the last season. I like binging on Gilmore GIrls and Friday Night Lights
I am so sad it’s the last season too! And I love both of those shows as well!
Emily
I binged Battlestar Galactica when my husband was out of town for a week. Then started on Lost. He joined me on Lost when he returned and I would constantly have to explain what was what. *sigh*
Haha! I felt like we had to constantly explain Lost to my dad even though he was watching with us nightly. It can be so confusing!
Emily
Oh Downton Abbey, how I will miss you! Chris and I binge watch The Office, and we are on round three of watching the entire season. It just never gets old for us! 🙂
I’m going to miss Downton so much too! We love The Office!
Emily
Winter is the perfect time for binge watching! I have been enjoying lots of episodes of Downton Abbey!
Oh Downton how I love it! So good!
Emily
I am totally hooked on Downton right now! It is the best. I’m sick that it is the last season, though. I also love New Girl!
I know! I am going to miss Downton so much!
Emily
YES!! I needed more shows to watch! I’ve heard the New Girl is hilarious!
New Girl is so hilarious!! Hope you enjoy these shows!
Emily
We binge watched Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and House of Cards. Breaking bad was my TOP favorite!
I have yet to watch Breaking Bad but my brother loved it!
Emily
I am currently binge watching Project Runway on Hulu. I have binged on a few of the shows you listed above, btw very sad to hear The Good Wife is in it’s last season…
I was so sad to hear that too! I’m going to miss it!
Emily
I binge watched homeland and Silicon Valley. I barely watch television but once I start, it’s so hard to stop. I might check out the Good Wife next.
The Good Wife is a great show!
Emily
Lost was one of my absolute favorites. I couldn’t stop watching and I was sad when it was over. I would also add Parks and Rec to the list or The Office.
I was so sad when Lost was over too! And yes Parks and Rec and The Office are favorites in our house!
Emily
My heart is completely broken that Doctor Who isn’t on Netflix anymore! I need something new going to use this as my guide!
Oh that’s so sad! Well hopefully this list will help you get started on some new shows!
Emily
Thank you for an update to the TV shows list! I missed watching them so badly, looking forward to catch up on some of them when I return home.
There are so many good ones to catch up on!
Emily
I’ve never binge watched a TV program but I have watched all of the movies in a series, Twilight, Star Wars, Harry Potter… Usually a series chose by one of my kids.
It’s always fun to binge watch a movie series as well!
Emily
I want to start watching Downton Abbey and New Girl as I have not watched them before! I love a good binge especially when there is food involved lol!
You and me both 🙂
Emily
I’m with you. I hate winter. Lately I’ve been binge watching Fixer Upper. I absolutely LOVE Johanna’s sense of style and love watching Chip and Johanna.
Oh I love Fixer Upper too! I want her to come redo my house haha!
Emily
We binge watched Lost and it’s hard for hubby and I to find a show we both enjoy that much. Thanks fir the ideas, we will have to give Downton Abbey and The Good Wife a try!
Yes Lost was so good! It’s always so hard to find a great show right after you’ve finished such a good one! I’m looking for my next great one now!
Emily
I’ve never seen Downtown Abbey, but I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it that I may just grab a bottle of wine and some popcorn and binge watch that.
You really need to check it out, such a great show!
Emily
I’m always looking for new binge shoes for marathon training. These are oldies but goodies! Miss Lost.
I miss Lost too! Such a great show!
Emily
I love, love, love all of these. Although I’ve never watched the good wife. Must try it some day. Thanks for sharing.
The Good Wife is a great one!
Emily
I love New Girl and The Good Wife. Sadly I am way behind on both. I need to catch up!
We are behind on both too, working on catching up! They make for great binge watching.
Emily
I never saw Lost or Downtown Abbey. I kinda thought about start DA the other day, but I’ve been so busy!
When you find time both shows are great ones to binge on!
Emily
Gotta start binge watching on House Hunters!
I love that show!
Emily
So many shows I still need to watch! I started watching The Affair on Showtime. WOW! Binge watched over a few weekends. So good!
I love finding a show that’s great to binge watch!
Emily
I so love Prison Break… I would totally watch it again. But hubby is not as fan, but we both love Spartacus {a bit agressive} we love that story is true so at least we have something in common to make some popcorn and watch!
Hugs
I really want to watch Prison Break again, I just may haha!
Emily
I just found out my library carries Downton Abbey so I may be binge watching it again after it goes off the air. I’m so not ready to say goodbye to them!
Oh that is an exciting thing to discover 🙂
Emily
I have not binge watched anything lately as I have been able to watch it wen it’s on. But I am loving the new shows like BlindSpot and a few others
We have really enjoyed The Blindspot! Looking forward to it coming back soon!
Emily
You’ve got a wonderful list here. I will be really sad too when Downton Abbey comes to a close. I can watch House Hunters all day, that or Fixer Upper.
Oh we love Fixer Upper too!
Emily
Add a heated blanket and the sofa, and I am so up for binge watching!
I just finished up friday night lights! I can’t wait to binge watch my next show.
Oh I loved Friday Night Lights, such a good show!
Emily
Downton Abbey is my favorite binge watch. My husband and I have made it a point to wait until each season is available on demand before we allow ourselves to watch a single episode.
Haha that is smart!
Emily
Thanks for the ideas. I always like hearing reviews from others on shows I’m curious about.
I’ve fallen way behind on Downton Abbey – got to get caught up soon. One of my favorite shows to binge on was Breaking Bad. Scandal is good to binge on too! Lately, I did the Making a Murderer and Archer.
I like to Binge Watch The Vampire Diaries…so maybe I will take a look at the 100. I never could get into Lost, but my husband LOVED it.
Great list. I heard this is the last season of the Good Wife! I wonder how it will end!!!
I was just having a conversation with my kids about how we would spend a snow day! These are good shows…I think I may have to watch some of them even when it’s not cold. 🙂
Sounds like a good plan to me 🙂
Emily
I’m obsessed with TV shows, I watch a ton but I love New Girl and Downton Abbey.
I watch a ton too, it’s always hard for me to narrow down these lists!
Emily
I can rewatch Lost a million times, and not get sick of it. Jate 4ever! Haha. 😉 Seriously though, I need to get on the Downton Abby movement. I know I’ll enjoy it if I can just get into it, but I never seem to be able to finish the pilot. New goal: finish the pilot. 🙂
Yes! Jate forever!!! You should definitely get into Downton, it’s so good!
Emily
We don’t have cable so the only binge watching I do is on Netflix. I have watched most of the New Girl series and enjoy it a lot!
Love binge watching New Girl, so funny!
Emily
Omg what a great list you have made!!!! Hubby and I have been watching the New Girl. Not a bad show 🙂
Thank you! Yes we really enjoy New Girl!
Emily
I really want to catch the 100. I have been catching up on Medium and then will have to see this.
I haven’t watched TV in 8 years. But from what I hear from my friends’ talk I sometimes wonder if Downtown Abbey might be a good fit for me. If only there was more time in the day!
My Mom has always been a fan of The Good Wife, and the couple of times it has crossed paths with my eyes, it has caught my attention. I wouldn’t mind binge-watching that show.
I need to catch up on Downton Abbey. I have been so behind it would be a total binge!
It is so good!
Emily
I’ve been watching a lot of New Girl episodes lately. It’s one of my favorites to binge! I missed the last seasons of Downton, I need to catch up. I heard it was very dramatic!
Ah Downton is so good! You definitely need to catch up!
Emily
TV binging is my new favorite pastime … oan NETFLIX
Yes to The Good Wife. I’m so sad that show is ending. What am I going to watch now??!?
