My Binge-worthy Shows

Recently, with the bad weather we've been getting here (another snow storm hitting as I write this), I have been hermitting and watching TV shows that I’ve been saying for months that I wanted to watch. Some, I’m totally late to the game, others are current and still others, I don’t think I’ve ever heard another person talk about.

Here are the 5 most recent shows I’ve Binged:

Feud: Betty & Joan
I have heard that this short series isn't actually 100% true to what happened. That being said, Bette Davis is one of my favorite Golden Age of Hollywood actresses. And her relationship with Joan Crawford fascinates me. This show focuses on their relationship before, during and after filming "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" So I definitely still want to see this. If you don't know about the movie, it's about two sisters who were famous in Hollywood. Jane was a child star, but lost fame as she grew up, and her sister Blanche, who became a famous actress in her 20s. Blanche suffers an accident that leaves her paralyzed and unable to act anymore. Jane has to help her out with basic daily tasks. But as time goes on, Jane begins to unravel. How far is she willing to go for fame?
Where to watch: Currently unavailable, but I will update if I find anything out!
