Approaching the last few weeks of summer break, Netflix binge watching is at an all time high as we prepare for syllabus week and kiss our long lazy days goodbye. Since I don't have cable, Netflix is my best friend and I constantly have it on, even if it is just background noise. So sit back, relax and binge watch away your last few weeks of Summer Sixteen.
1. Comedy: New Girl
Jess moves in with 3 guys in their mid-to-late 20's who have been friends for a while. Throughout the 4 seasons, Jess slowly figures out all the weird quirks of her roommates. The 4 of them face broken hearts, embarrassing pasts and awkward situations together.
2. Comedy: Friends
This group of six makes your best buds seem boring. The 90's sitcom follows them as they figure out living in New York. From Central Perk to the purple apartment, you are guaranteed to giggle at the sticky situations they find themselves in. From season 1 to season 10, the gang takes on adulthood, showing the reality of how messy it can actually get.
3. Documentary: High Profits
CNN shows the journey of medical marijuana in Breckenridge, CO with 1 season. Breckenridge Cannabis Club fights for their spot on Main Street facing city residents, other Main Street shop owners and city counsel members who want their shop to be moved 2 miles away from the heart of the town.
4. Dramas: One Tree Hill
Head cheerleaders, high school basketball stars and twisted family feuds keep you on the edge of your seat. Although the 9 seasons is kind of broken into 2 parts, it is entertaining all the same. The second part of the series (seasons 7-9) was a different kind of drama, less sappy high school drama like the first part (seasons 1-6) and more just straight... Drama.
5. Drama: Grey's Anatomy
While Dr. Meredith Grey completes her residency at Seattle Grace Hospital, she finds herself living in her mother's shadow. With the help from McDreamy and her friends, Dr. Grey works to define herself. Seattle Grace Hospital and its Doctors stand up against tragedy, financial scares and uncountable amounts of surgeries with 12 seasons on Netflix.
6. Cartoon: Bobs Burgers
Just like you would expect from any adult cartoon, the humor isn't appropriate for little ears. Bob runs his burger joint with the help of his wife and 3 kids. While Bob's family causes chaos in the restaurant and in their home, Bob fights to have the best restaurant against his rivals, Hugo and Jimmy Pesto, for 5 seasons (so far).
7. Crime: Breaking Bad
When Walter White is staring cancer in the eye, the high school chemistry teacher starts making high quality meth for extra money to leave his family if his cancer kills him. With help from his former student: Jesse Pinkman, Walter aka Heisenberg, takes over the meth market of New Mexico, while keeping the secret from his family. He even avoids the DEA searching for the master mind called 'Heisenberg.' Heisenberg dodges the DEA for 5 seasons.
8. Romance: The Vampire Diaries
Say goodbye to the vampires you came to know in Twilight. The Salvador brothers fight for Elena's love, and battle a variety of magical creatures to keep her alive. Evil doppelgangers, hot vampires, dangerous werewolves and strong witches all together in a small historical town, what romance could come of that? Although the whole series isn't on Netflix yet, the 6 seasons that are will leave you thirsty for more.
9. Action: The Walking Dead
Ever wonder what the world would look like if there was a zombie apocalypse? After waking up from a coma to the apocalypse, Rick, his family, and his friends fight for their lives while trying to stay safe from the crawlers for five seasons. Instead of the human race (or at least what is left of it) coming together to create a new society, they turn against each other, feeding views action from more than just the zombie.
10. Netflix Original: Orange is the New Black
Filled with women that come from a variety of backgrounds, walls of the women's prison hold more than just criminals. While seeing how each character's past made them the way they are, the show teaches you that there is more than meets the eye to the inmates in this prison. The 4 seasons of OITNB almost convince you that prison really wouldn't be that bad.
