Me looking at the constantly growing list of shows I told people I'd watch after I finish Waterloo Road for the second time.

Edit: since this post has basically become my watch list on here thought I'd pin it. I'm open for suggestions on what to watch - bare in mind it'll probably take a while - I will try to get to all of the shows on the list eventually.

Full list below the cut:

The running man

Love death and robots

The office

Arcane

Waterloo Road again (with my brother)

Grange hill

The 100

2 broke girls

Good omens

Heartbreak high

Black mirror

You

Lord of the flies

Xo kitty

The walking dead

Added to the list after posting:

The omen

Billy Elliott

Skins

Father ted

The Lincoln lawyer

One tree hill

13 reasons why

Sex education

The middle

A good girls guide to murder

Buffy the vampire slayer

Yellowjackets

Another edit if you got this far: I also write fanfic occasionally so here are my current fics. I hope to write more during summer after my mocks so if you're interested follow me at charlie168 on ao3

My head is full of poison - Will's internalised homophobia based on the cure by Olivia Rodrigo and an edit I'll post on here when I'm finished it.

Love makes you crazy - basically lettergate but Mike convinced himself he's dating Will.

Coffee shop - au of jundrew just being happy that's it.

Should I have watched shameless longer? I got to season 7 and lost interest when mandy died because she was honestly one of the only characters I was watching for at that point. Now I'm watching season 10 episode 8 because I found out that Holly Kenny (Sam from Waterloo Road), don't ask. Who do I see? Darcy Isa (Lauren from Wlr) and I know for a fact that will Rush was on there at one point. First Grange Hill and now shameless, they all can't get enough of each other going on all the same shows.

I never thought this was even possible

Jake brockman and Harry Fisher this is insane worlds have collided multiple times todsg but this is the craziest and least expected one.

Why is finn lowkey giving Chloe in pitch perfect right now it's that one person who can secretly sing. It's obvious that the new guy wanted to join Glee though. For whatever reason he seems to think this is cool.

Finally finished the first season of glee after some painful moments and months of second hand embarrassment. I need to at least get to when Darren criss comes on the show,i have so many Harry potter jokes ready.

the way mike was so geeked out in this scene cause this was his first time flirting and he didn't think it was gonna work

[tv-ranting]

Bro probably thinks he looks so cool and nonchalant

[eilissxx]

“mike is too upset to answer back” im not sure but i don’t think el was happy in that moment either

[uncomfortably-introverted]

when someone makes fun of season 3 will byers so i lowkey have to kill them

[tv-ranting]

Finally finished the damn edit and it is probably one of the best I've done so far.

I did actually write a fic about it when I first started it: my head is full of poison

Why tf is LinkedIn trying to make me cry.

It emailed me this.

Ben willbond and Colin firth in the same film I'm so happy I finally decided to watch St trinians.

Edit: OK so it seems that half the British actors I know are in this. It feels like a wild crossover.

youd think youd run out of things to say about a tv show

Agggtm series 2 episode 6:

Thanks so much for making this scene even more sad than in the original. He could've escaped and lived the life he wanted. Also this may be the reason they say never bring a knife to a gun fight.

Down to the six gunshots and everything.

Overall review: Never thought I'd see the day when I like the first season less than the second. I always say the first season is better but I guess this is the exception along with maybe the umbrella academy but that fell off so I don't really count it. Way more book accurate as you can tell from my limited posting about it and almost all the things they changed either didn't change the story that much or were for the better. They really said double the detective work and give it to the next season their was a lot more of Pip figuring stuff out, though I did miss the interviews.
