What to binge-watch over the holidays
If you've been struggling to keep up with the mammoth amount of television these days, 2015 didn't do you any favors. We saw more original series than ever from Netflix (most of which are definitely worth a watch), as well as a slew of great shows from established networks. Some call this the era of peak television -- we just like to think of it as the age of binge watching.
What's on your HDTV this week: World Cup, 'Big Brother' and 'The Leftovers'
This week the World Cup moves on from Group play to the Round of 16, and the USMNT can book a trip there with a win or draw against Germany on Thursday (or a loss, if other things happen -- futbol is complicated). In other sportsball news, the NBA Draft is on Thursday night, and with a list full of highly touted prospects plus intriguing free agents like Lebron and Carmelo, it could get very interesting. We're also getting a taste of the rest of summer programming from various networks, but the option we're most excitedly waiting for is HBO's The Leftovers. Also, you may be wondering why we mentioned Big Brother so prominently this week. That's because only now, despite its long run and the wide adoption of HDTV over the last decade, is the voyeuristic reality TV series going to be produced and broadcast in high definition. Check after the break for a list of what's new this week plus a few trailers, and drop a note in the comments if you see any highlights we've missed.
