The way we watch TV has certainly changed over the last few years. Today, many of the residents of our Mountlake Terrace, WA, apartments take in most of their favorite shows through a streaming service so they can watch things whenever they want without worrying about missing a pivotal episode. While Netflix-binging on the couch alone after a long day can be quite relaxing, it's also fun to bring friends into the mix from time to time.

Here are a few ideas and shows to help you plan a dinner party around your favorite series to binge-watch.

"The Crown"

Actress Claire Foy lets us see what it was really like for Queen Elizabeth II to come to the throne during her young years as daddy's little girl. The show shines a real-life light onto the fairy-tale image many people have of the royal family. 

To enjoy this show properly, pair it with:

• Tea
• Finger sandwiches
• Cake

"Orange Is the New Black"

Who knew prison could get so popular? When the orange jumpsuits are on your TV screen, there are plenty of antics and weird conversations that can ensue in your living room. Feed your crew with:

• Meatloaf
• Corn on the cob
• Frito cake
• Red wine

"Bloodline"

Every family has its problems, but the secrets that reside in the Florida keys are serious. If you're taking a binge on "Bloodline," stack your table with:

• Marinated fish tacos 
• Key lime pie
• Rumrunners

"Godless"

Let the ladies of the wild, Wild West show you how it was really done. Get ready to see history a little differently as these gals take on the good, the bad and the ugly. If this is your pick for the night, serve up:

• Barbecue ribs
• Baked beans
• Cornbread
• Whiskey sours

If you're more of a "Longmire" fan, this setup works perfectly for that show, too. It's really just about finding recipes that give a nod to those rustic, Old West roots.

Our Taluswood Apartments are the perfect place to entertain guests. Whether you're hosting a few friends for a Netflix binge or you'll have overnight guests in from out of town, we'll welcome them with open arms. Take a look at our available floor plans!
