About Me

Hello, 

I am Couch Potato and I write CouchPotatoWatchlist which contains honest TV show reviews and recommendations for watchers who may be unsure what to watch next. I pride myself on being fully transparent with my thoughts on shows. Time is valuable so I would not want others to waste time on a show that is not binge-worthy.

When I am not watching TV shows, I am a full-time college student. I am currently juggling three majors so it can get a bit stressful. I have found watching TV to be therapeutic and destressing from a long day at school. If I get hooked on a new show, I can often find myself binge-watching it until 5 in the morning.

I watch shows on streaming services such as HBO Max, Hulu, and Netflix. I have a vast range of genres I enjoy watching. I like dramas, reality, competitions, cooking, home renovations, crime, documentaries, comedy, romance, sitcoms, etc. I do not think I have a favorite TV show. If I had to pick, I would say my top three TV shows are Friends, Law & Order: SVU, and The Bachelor franchise.

In my family and friend group, I typically am the one they go to for show recommendations. My younger sisters are into Grey's Anatomy so I suggested watching The Good Doctor. They have been hooked ever since. My boyfriend enjoys watching The Office so I recommended watching Friends or How I Met Your Mother. I have yet to hear any complaints about my suggestions! 

Feel free to comment with your opinions on the shows I review, I would love to hear your thoughts!
