Binge Baby Binge


You want to be Amazed and Captivated don't you? Me too!


I have to confess, I spend far too much time bingeing #Netflix, #Disney+, #AmazonPrime, #MAX, #Hulu, and #AppleTV.


I've watched many of them twice to delve deeper into the excellent storytelling or catch the details I may have overlooked.


(Wow, this lady is a total nerd! Yes, I can hear you and you are right.)


Some are my comfort watches, some are rivirting and

some are heartbreaking.


My list is a blend of drama, true crime, documentary and comedy.


Let me know what you think. AND, let me know if I missed anything on my way up to 100. Thanks for your help.
