Documentaries and TV Shows Watched in 2017

Instead of setting myself another film or book goal for 2017 I decided to catch up on TV shows and documentaries that had been sitting in my Netflix watchlist. I didn't get to watch as many TV shows as I wanted to so I might do the same again for next year, although me Dad wants me to do another 100 film goal.

Team Foxcatcher was my favourite documentary, if you're interested in sport or the Olympics this is definitely a good one to watch.
With TV shows I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events and I can't wait for it to come back in March next year, The Sniffer which I think is my top favourite show from 2017, I'm not sure when season 3 is going to air but I can't wait to watch it and Black, a Korean crime drama, my second favourite show from 2017.

Anyway here's the full list for 2017. Have you seen any of these?
The Woman With No Face | Tabloid | Life, Animated | Team Foxcatcher | The Woman With 7 Personalities | The Girl Who's Muscles are Turning to Bone | Tyke Elephant Outlaw

Shadowhunters | Helix | A Series of Unfortunate Events | Grimm | Hawaii Five-0 | The Sniffer | The Mist | Black

Hope you enjoy!

Naomi Davis | Love Taza
| 1/2/3/4/5/6 |

I started following Naomi a long time ago, I think maybe before Samson was born and I just cannot get enough of the Davis family! I have absolutely loved watching the Davis family adventures, watching Eleanor and Samson grow up and then the addition of little Samson has been an absolute delight top watch. Let's not forget the fact that they smash Halloween costumes every year, like this one from 2014!

Caitlyn Covington | Southern Curls & Pearls
| 1/2/3/ |

I haven't been following Caitlyn's blog for very long but I have been loving her outfit posts, especially the casual, everyday ones and I'm 100% obsessed with her hair! I'm so glad I started following her and I can't wait to see what she gets up to this year.

Christine Andrew | Hello Fashion
| 1/2/3/4/5 |

I started following Christine in March last year and like I said in her blogger feature she has been in it every months since! I'm absolutely obsessed with her blog, I love her style and she 100% gives me jean envy.
