Must-See TV

Here are two TV shows I urge you to watch.

Sherlock* on Netflix play instantly (originally aired on BBC/PBS)

Platinum Hit on Bravo, can be found on Comcast on demand

Then you can thank me.

I've been laboring over how to introduce these television shows to The Pickwick Review, when it just dawned on me that it's more important for the recommendations to be out there so you can start watching than for me to do it in a fun, well-written, interesting way.

The essence of it is this: my husband watched the 3 episodes with me of Sherlock and enjoyed it, which is a feat since he hates TV. After the 3rd one, I missed the show terribly.

As for Platinum Hit, I've never purchased itunes music from a show- until now. These song writers are talented and it's amazing to watch the songs they come up with in 1-2 days.

I haven't had much time to watch TV lately, but when I do there's certainly slim-pickings in the summer. What do you watch to stay entertained? Any hidden gems on netflix instant-watch I should know about?

*There's dozens of Sherlock Holmes' out there- make sure it's the one with Benedict Cumberbatch.

  1. Two shows: Big Brother and So You Think You Can Dance. What can I say? I'm a sucker for "reality" tv.

  2. Hmmm. Summer tv is a tough one. First, I have to say, I'm utterly shocked you like Sherlock. It's completely not your style. Haha.

    I should mention that I don't have cable right now where we are subletting so anything I watch is on the internet and my selection is limited. I've been enjoying Love Bites on NBC. I like how every episode involves different people and I'm interested to see where they go with it. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've been watching a show on ABC Family but maybe check out Switched at Birth. The first couple episodes were interesting. I'm a little worried it'll turn into just another show in a couple episodes but good beginning. I always enjoy Flipping Out. There's also a great show called According To Paris. Just Kidding with that last one. Just making sure you're reading.
