It seems like everyone in the world is amped up for the season five premiere of the monster HBO hit Game of Thrones this Sunday and it’s with good reason. The show has consistently delivered high class drama, shocking plot twists, and enough sex, violence, and good old fashioned fantasy to keep everyone entertained
HBO launched their own streaming service based on the success of the series and it is huge boost to Sling who also offers HBO. If you have HBO GO then it is time to make one last binge run before Sunday night’s big return.
Acorn TV -” A Place To Call Home.” offers binge-worthy period drama for those who miss Downton Abby. I think that ” A Place To Call Home,” set in 1950’s Australia feels like a cross between Dynasty and Downton Abbey with a twist of Mad Men. Filmed in the beautiful Australian countryside, the series explores the lives of the wealthy Bligh family once their worlds collide with intriguing, multitalented, and ever-so-ethical nurse Sarah Adams (Marta Dusseldorp). From class clashes and forbidden love to meddling in-laws and damaging secrets, the beautifully crafted series, which has been commissioned for a third and fourth seasons, offers viewers a uniquely addictive romantic drama. Just beware: If you’re like me, once you start watching, it’s hard to stop.
