  1. These all sound like great tvs shows!! I love that there are shows that are similar to others to watch, makes picking shows so much easier to do.

  2. Ive been meaning to watch being mary jane! I love house of cards and the catch!

  3. I used to watch “The Good Wife”. I worry that nothing seems to top “Scandal” in my books. I’ll try “House of cards”.

  4. Oh my gosh these are all shows I want to watch but I’ve only made it to one so far – House of Cards (love). I am afraid to start watching Scandal because I know I will be immediately hooked. These are great suggestions!

  5. I haven’t watched any of these shows. I will have to watch the first episode of each to see of they will be a new addiction.

  6. I don’t watch much TV but, I can imagine that all their fans are having a blast with them. I will keep them in mind.
