Its that time again where I share my favourite tv
shows with you and i have some pretty good ones in my list this time.
C A L L T H E M I D W I F E
A classic
show for me which I have been watching for years. I ended up missing the
seventh series when it was aired on tv so I am so excited that that series is
now on Netflix! I am currently re-watching the sixth series on the website in
preparation since it has been a while, I don't want to forget anything.
I N S I D E NO 9
This is a
recent discovery for me and so far I absolutely love it! I love the concept
that every episode is non related but contains the same actors most of the
time. It stars Steve Pemberton who I have loved ever since first seeing him in
Benidorm. I am now on series 2 and I find them so interesting. My favourite
episode so far was S2E2 with Sheridan Smith, the episode gripped me and
actually made me cry. My second episode I totally recommend is S1E3 which kept
me guessing the whole episode who and what was real.
F R I D A Y N I G H T D I N N E R
This is
such a well written, well executed and well produced show, it should be on
every Friday night till the end of time. I started watching this at the
beginning of the year with Callum and we become obsessed really quickly. We
watched all the series' in one go and then got our hearts broken when we were
told the new series was being recorded. We are still waiting for the new series
to air ….
G I R L S I N C A R C E R A T E D
It is no
secret that I love a good documentary especially one recorded in a prison. This
documentary follows young girls in a American correctional facilities and shows
you their struggles inside and outside the facility. The girls started to
really annoy Callum but I watched the series till the end to see how the girls
finished the series.
S E X E D U C A T I O N
What a
brilliant show! There are many questions surrounding this tv shows like why the
hell do they have English accents but an American styled school? But man am I
excited for the next series. Most people have watched this show already but if
you haven't, go download Netflix right now!!

I have loved Stacey way before her stint on Strictly, all the way back in her Blood, Sweat and T-shirts days, so I always watch any new show she brings out. In this doc she spends a weekend at the house of different types or families, from a YouTube family to a house which is child led. I relate to Stacey so much for many different reasons so I love the questions she asks in her interviews.
I N T E R I O R D E S I G N M A S T E R
This show is fantastic and I am not creative at all. watched it while it airs last month and I was pretty sucked in. The show follows interior designers compete to be crowned the master designer and win the prize of designing a hotel in London. My favourite episode so far has been the lodges by the seaside, I really want to go for a weekend break at a lodge in the countryside.

I have always loved a period drama and Sanditon has not disappointed me. Even if I wasn't a fan of period dramas, I would watch it just for Theo James. Imagine him in a gentleman's outfit and a cane... thank me later. I really enjoyed the show which follows a influential family who lives by the sea and tries to make it seaside resort.
A M E R I C A N H O R R O R S T O R I E S
Need I explain this? I have loved this show from the first series and although my interest has dipped along the series, I still watch the new episodes as soon as they are on tv. We are about half way in the new series and so far I seems good. I do miss Evan Peters because he is the king of AHS for me.
F R I E N D S
This show will not get old to me. I had to give it an honourable mention because although it isn't a new find to me, I watched this show every morning while I am getting ready so you can imagine how many times I have started again. I think I am on my 8th straight run of the show and although Callum hates it every time he hears the theme tune, I can't get enough.
What have you been watching?
It's that time again where I list all the movies and TV shows i will be watching over Christmas and this year i will actually have the time off to watch them! I can't wait!!

What are you going to be watching over Christmas?
I love a good documentary, its my favourite thing to watch at the minue and Netflix is my go to place find a new documentary film to watch. Since getting Netflix last year I have watched most of the documentaries they have and out of all of them, these are my favourite ones.
M A K I N G A M U R D E R E R
I watched this series before it become the biggest documentary ever and I can tell you that it is definitely worth a watch. The series became mine and Cals obsession and we got so into it that we regularly google Steven Avery and Brandon Dassey to see if they have been released yet. We are both strong believers in Brandon being completely innocent so watching the show was really frustrated. On the other hand with Steven we aren't completely sure but the show really does make you question everything. It is so good I really recommend it!

This is the latest documentary I have watched and I know I am late to the party but forgive me. I have never been to Sea World or anything of the same kind and I am so glad that I haven't now after watching this film. What is good about the making of this film is it is about a killer whale who has killed a number of people but the whole time I just felt sorry for Tilikum. It totally pulls on your heart because you feel horrible for the people who have died and their poor families, but you also feel bad because you know Tilikum is doing this because he confined in a pool rather than being with his family in the ocean. If you are a animal lover you will love this but be prepared to have your heart broken.

Another fish but of a different kind, Catfish follows Nev as he tracks down the girl who he has fallen in love with online. I love watching Catfish the TV series so I had to watch the film that started it all. It really opens your eyes to what happens when you enter the online world and how emotional involved people can become with someone they haven't even met before. I don't think I could ever be as trusting as Nev is to plan a life with someone from the internet. The fact this film has made Nev famous within his own right is great and if you love the TV show, I recommend watching the film to see a baby faced Nev.

Cal and I love watching Louis' documentaries and he has so many on Netflix you would be sorted for a weekend binge sess no problem. You wouldn't expect Louis to be a good journalist and documentary maker as he is pretty awkward and shy but that is what makes the documentaries so good. I love it when he asks awkward questions other people might not ask. A few of our favourite episodes are The Most hated Family in America, Miami Mega-Jail and Behind Bars. I love watching prison documentaries and Louis' episodes on prisons are really good.

This documentary is one that I am still not sure on what I think about it all. When the murder happened in 2007 I didn't become too involved in the trial and when the news said she was guilty I didn't question it. Fast forward to last year when I watched the documentary and I am in total limbo on how I feel. For those of you who don't know, Amanda and her boyfriend were jailed for the killing of the girl Amanda shared a house with, they were acquitted of the murder in 2015 and the film follows her after she is released and shows footage of the trail. The evidence the court raises and the interviews she gives afterward have totally through me on my verdict. If you have watched it/ go on to watch it please tell me your opinion!

Aileen Wuornos: The selling of a Serial Killer and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer are two documentaries on Netflix about a women called Aileen Wuornos who is known as the first major female serial killer. After watching interviews with Aileen I seriously think she was disturbed and needed psychiatric help more than anything but that didn't happen for her. The documentaries follow her trail and what happened after the trail leading up to her execution. A good watch if you are into documentaries about female killers.
Hopefully Netflix will add some more documentaries to to app to watch as prison and murder films have become an obsession of mine. I recently watched 60 Days In Jail and Women Who Kill which are both currently on 4OD and seriously worth a watch, especially 60 Days in Jail.
If you have any new documentaries you think I might like comment them below!
Last year I wrote a post talking about everything I wanted to watch over the festive period and you guys really liked it so I've decided to do it again this year, the best part of it all is I actually have Boxing Day off for the first time in 5 years so I can actually sit in my pj's all day and watch tv!
