10 Seriously Binge-Worthy Netflix Shows
HowStuffWorks

Netflix is a good friend of mine, and lately I've been plowing through shows like there's no tomorrow. Recently, I've been going through the most binge-worthy of shows, the ones that are impossible to stop watching until you're finished, the ones that keep you up until all hours of the night because you must click on the next episode. Shows that are emotional and graphic and seriously hard to watch sometimes, but you just can't stop. Here are a few of the most addicting.

1. Shameless

This crazy, screwed up show about a crazy, screwed up family on the South Side of Chicago is one of my new favorites. It's darkly funny, full of intriguingly complicated characters, and it's utterly addicting. I watched all 7 available seasons in about 6 weeks.

2. House of Cards

I haven't gotten around to watching this yet, but from what I've heard, it's pure evil and you can't stop watching once you start. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are brilliant as twisted, power-hungry politicians.

3. Stranger Things

Full of great child actors, scary monsters, and pure 80's fun, this show only has one season so far, so it's easy to binge in one afternoon. Completely addicting, we're all waiting for season 2 on the edge of our seats.

4. The Walking Dead

Horribly, graphically violent, incredibly sad, this portrayal of a devastating zombie apocalypse will have every viewer on the edge of their seat. With lovable, complex characters, you have to keep watching to see how long they'll last.

5. Black Mirror

This series is unique in that each episode tells a completely different story, with completely different characters, but for some reason you can't stop clicking next. It so disturbingly guesses at the ugly future of humans and technology, it has you shuddering in terror and glued to the screen.

6. American Horror Story

Utterly terrifying, this show again explores the ugliness of human nature, this time through its interactions with the supernatural. Some seasons are better than others, but it's still pretty addicting for fans of psychological thrillers and horror fans alike.

7. Dexter

I also haven't watched this whole series quite yet, but I would imagine that the lovable serial killer at the center of it would be quite entertaining to watch. He goes about his life, casually getting away with the murders of horrible criminals, and according to friends of mine, it's pretty addicting.

8. Breaking Bad

The wild adventures of a high school chemistry teacher turned meth dealer are hard to stop watching. There's a reason it won so many Emmy's when it was on TV, so it must be pretty good.

9. A Series of Unfortunate Events

This show probably isn't for everybody, because it's got a very quirky, fourth-wall-breaking sense of humor. But if you were a fan of the books as a kid or you just want to see Neil Patrick Harris play a cross-dressing bad guy, this is a quick, easy show to get through.

10. Sherlock

This classic BBC show's success can be attributed to its brilliant leads, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, and its brilliant writing. The complicated detective stories and the crazy villains are thrilling and addicting.


So there you go, some wonderful time-wasters and crazy-dramatic series to keep you invested while you avoid homework and sleep.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
