About

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 or email me at CouchPotatoWatchlist@gmail.com with your opinions on the shows I review, I would love to hear your thoughts!

  Are Books Better Than Movies/TV Shows? A popular debate that has been around for centuries is whether books are better than movies/TV shows. Both options are popular forms of entertainment and they each provide a different experience. Today, I will be comparing the pros and cons of each option and to keep it fair, I will only be referencing books that have been adapted into movies/TV shows. Books Pros It can get more into depth. The scenes are described in more detail There are more plot-setting scenes The reader can actively use their imagination The plot can be followed by how the author intended it to be Cons It can be a huge time commitment The middle of the book can drag out Dialogues can be unrealistic in books but can come to life on a tv screen   Movies/TV shows Pros Less time commitment You can watch a movie/TV show with the company Less concentration so there is less of a need for imagination The Art of Acting Cons Scenes are deleted
