Agreeing upon shows to watch with your boyfriend can be a never-ending battle. If you have a nice boy, he'll suffer through hours of Nashville just because he knows how much you love it. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. This list of shows will keep both you & your man happy and entertained.
The Leftovers (HBO)
The second season of HBO's The Leftovers just ended, so if you haven't started it you have between now and October-ish to watch the first two seasons. Season 1 takes place in the made up town of Mapelton, NY. The world is shook on October 14, 2011 when 2% of the world's population suddenly disappear. The day comes to be known as "The Departure." Instead of focusing on what happened to the people who disappeared, the show focuses on the people left on Earth and how they are dealing with it. Season 2 takes place in the town of Miracle, Texas, a place where there were no Departures on October 14, 2011. The place was renamed miracle from Jardin and thousands of people are desperate to move there because they think it is a safe space. There is mystery, excitement, sex, violence, and some slight humor in this show. Plus you get to see Justin Theroux shirtless and Liv Tyler get beat up a lot so that's a win-win.
Mr. Robot (USA)
When someone first told me to watch this show, my immediate response back was "NOPE!" I am so not into robots and was extremely turned off by the fact that this was a name of a show. BUT after doing a little research about what it was actually about, I decided to give it a shot. The show surrounds genius hacker Elliot and his complicated life. He's a drug addict, a schizophrenic, and has an IQ of about a billion so you can imagine that he's got a lot of shit going on. The show has crazy twists and awesome cinematography and it'll keep you on the edge of your seat. You'll have major hair/skin envy of Angela and develop a sneaky crush on Elliot. You and your boo can bond over the mind-blowing twists that this series offers.
American Crime (ABC)
I wasn't lucky enough to catch the buzz of American Crime's first season (can't seem to find it anywhere), but Season 2 just kicked off last week and I am already hooked. Fortunately, season 1 and 2 are completely different story lines (think The Awakening, American Horror Story), so there is no need to play catch up. Season 2 is about an elite private school with a championship basketball team. At one of the team's party's, a not-so-popular kid was drugged and raped by at least 1 or more members of the team. As we know from Gossip Girl, elite private schools will do almost anything to try to hide a scandal, so watching the boy's mother try to do anything to get justice for her son is heart-wrenching. Everyone loves a good crime show & this one will keep you both happy.
The Challenge: Bloodlines (MTV)
If you're not watching The Challenge: Bloodlines on MTV you are seriously missing out and I don't want to know you. The Challenge is fun to watch with your boy because you guys can laugh at the hilarious antics of all the cast members and root for whatever team you want to win. Yes, The Challenge has been on forever and we are confused about wtf Bananas and Aneesa do for a living when they aren't competing on Challenges. This season, the crazies are in Turkey and had to bring along a family member to team up with (or so they thought). A few episodes in, TJ drops a bomb that the family members will now be split up. There are drunk fights, sober fights, hook ups, and people doing crazy things for a chance to win $300,000. Maybe I'm crazy, but that does not seem like enough money for me to eat cockroaches and almost die from scaling buildings. P.S. Abe is the reason I have nightmares
