My Top Ten Bingeworthy Netflix Series'
The hardest thing about ending a tv series (other than the heartbreak of it being over) is deciding what show to watch next. If you're anything like me, you've tried so many shows and just CANNOT get into them. However, when you find the one that can keep your attention and makes you fall in love, you get HOOKED. And.. you really can't stop watching it so you watch it deep into the depths of the night and at any opportunity you can find during the day. A good tv series is like a boyfriend, and finishing the series is like a bad breakup. To help you to get through the toughest of heartbreak: finishing a tv series, here are 10 of my FAVE tv series that you can rebound with and hopefully fall in love with as much as I did.
Okay these are in no particular order because all are special in their own unique ways <3
1. The Office
If you haven't watched The Office, you are missing out on so many laughs and a few good tears. Pam and Jim will make your heart melt, Dwight and Michael will make you laugh out loud, and there's so much more that you'll have to see for yourself. Warning: after watching this show, you may consider a job at a paper company.
2. Riverdale
Nothing was worse than finding out that there was only one season of Riverdale. SO much drama and SO much to figure out. Betty, Veronica, and Jughead team up to try and unravel the mystery of Jason Blossom's death. The only one who seems to know the real story is Jason's twin sister, Cheryl. You'll be channelling your own inner Nancy Drew trying to help the gang figure out what happened to, well, you'll find out when you watch. HUGE plus: Archie is 12/10 on the hotness scale.
3. Stranger Things
I am SO glad that season two finally came. Stranger Things is filled with action, humor, and emotion. I never thought I would be one to enjoy a Sci-Fi tv series, but I truly fell in love. Every episode will leave you with wanting more, and luckily you can watch all of the episodes back to back! I would die if I had to wait a whole week to watch each new episode. Eleven makes you feel so many feels. The boys will make you laugh and cry. So much more you have to watch and see for yourself.
4. Parenthood
If you want a wholesome show that'll touch your heart each episode, Parenthood is the show to watch. This show is about the Braverman's: grandparents Camille and Zeek, their four children Adam, Sarah, Julia, and Crosby, their spouses,and all of their children as they go through all that life presents them. Haddie and Max struggle with balancing between the teen years and Max's Aspergers. Amber and Drew are dealing with their torn family. Sydney is figuring out how to live with her adopted brother Victor. And Jabaar is Jabaar. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll feel like part of the family. There's no doubt that you can relate to this family in one way or another.
5. Shameless
This is NOT your typical family show. In fact, I really do not think I can watch this show with anybody else. This show is truly "shameless". A severe alcoholic dad, everyone is doing drugs, so much nudity and sex, and a wide array of illegal activity. So why did I love this show so much? Intertwined in all of the drugs and sex is a plot that you will not be able to walk away from. You almost start to forget that what they all are doing is illegal lol. 10/10 would recommend you try for yourself.
6. New Girl
Hey girl, whatcha doin'? Hey girl, where you goin'? Who's that girl? Who's that girl? It's Jess! Jess is a spunky teacher who after a tough breakup, finds herself looking for a roommate. Who does she find? None other than Nick, Schmidt, Winston. Nick's a bartender with no real path to success. Schmidt is a self-absorbed man with a deep love for Jess' bestie, Cece. Winston is an ex-athlete whose dreams of going pro are crushed, leading him back to living in the loft. If you are looking for a good laugh each and every episode, New Girl is the show you are looking for.
7. Grey's Anatomy
If you haven't already watched Grey's Anatomy then you are probably living under a rock or in a cave. McDreamy and McSteamy are, well, dreamy and steamy. Meredith Grey is a driven surgeon in training who catches herself in a love triangle. You'll basically be halfway through medical school after watching this show. Drama, drama, and more drama. This show will rip your heart out, but somehow you'll always come back for more. 12/10 recommend having a box of tissues by you at all times.
8. Jane the Virgin
I just got done watching this (only took me a week and a half) and I LOVED IT. So much drama, so much romance, so many love triangles. Jane is a 23-year-old virgin who plans to wait until marriage before she has sex. Her plan was completely on track, until, she was accidentally artificially inseminated with Rafael's sperm. A drug lord, a telenovela star, and a crazy Czech are just some of the craziness that occurs in this show. No spoiler's I promise, just a little insight into the show. PLEASE WATCH.
9. Friday Night Lights
A lot of football, a lot of love, a lot of drama. Oh and a lot of very very attractive football players. This show hits you right in the feels with every episode. East Dillon High School's football program must be revived by Coach Eric Taylor. His wife, Tami, is the high school's principal. Their daughter Julie is a student at East Dillon. Tim Rigins and Matt Saracen are two of the football players trying to turn their program around. Cheerleader Lyla Garrity is fighting for her relationship after her boyfriend's injury. Tyra Collette is just trying to find herself. And you can't forget about Matt's buddy Landry Clarke. MUST WATCH.
10. How to Get Away With Murder
Annalise Keating is a professor of defense law, and boy she is headstrong. Annalise chooses five of the best and brightest in her class to work alongside her on her cases. Wes Gibbons, Connor Walsh, Laurel Castillo, Michaela Pratt, and Asher Millstone work long and hard with Annalise to help her win her case, and help themselves win some brownie points. Annalise's assistants are Frank and Bonnie who will go to no end to help her out. Especially when the students get themselves caught up in something bigger than they can handle.
