10 Less Talked About Shows You Need To Binge On Netflix Right Now

1. Arrested Development

One of the funniest, most clever shows I have ever watched. You're rewarded if you stick with it -- there are subtle nuances and jokes that are weaved into every season. The cast is perfect and a young awkward Michael Cera is the best Michael Cera. Thank me later.

2. Nurse Jackie

So real, so tragic, so good. You'll laugh and cry, as you root for anti-hero Jackie as she struggles with addiction. Trust me on this one, it's too good to pass up.

3. United States of Tara

One of Showtimes greatest shows followed Tara and her multiple personalities as her and her family deal with the tumultuous life that comes with them. While the show premise packs a punch, it's anything but a serious show and is absolutely a must watch.

4. The Fall

This one is a Netflix Original, so you know it's good. The entire show revolves around a Criminal Minds-esque murderer and the detective dead-set on catching him. If you're into crime dramas, this is a MUST for you. Plus, Jamie Dornan a.k.a. Christian Grey is the bad guy, and it features his natural Irish accent. Droooool.

5. Sense8

One of the strangest, most intriguing shows I have ever watched. A sci-fi drama that centers around 8 people who's birthdays and consciousnesses are all interconnected. The diversity of the group is also astonishing. I don't quite know how to explain this one because figuring out what's going on is half the fun of watching it. Check it out.

6. The Great British Baking Show

If you watch the Food Network at all, you have to check this one out. The contestants are sweeter than their insanely talented desserts, and their accents will make you insanely happy. It's like Chopped or Cupcake Wars on steroids.

7. Weeds

Much less talked about than it used to be, but this show doesn't disappoint. Mary-Louise Parker is absolutely hilarious as Nancy Botwin, a California suburb mom turned drug dealer after her husband's death. It's as funny as it sounds.

8. Private Practice

Unless you're an OG Shondaland fan you might not have seen this Grey's Anatomy spin-off. The show, which features Derek's ex-wife Addison as well as his younger sister, later on, gives a good insight into some people's least favorite character. We're all so busy rooting for MerDer in Grey's we miss out on the fact that Addison is actually a badass.

9. Lie to Me

Another crime drama. This one keeps you interested because of the 'super-power' the main character has. Slightly unbelievable, but also easy to get sucked into. He can tell when anyone is lying, which means the good guys usually win.

10. Black Mirror

Think of it as today's X-Files. Each episode revolves around its own story and features a new and twisted technology based thrill. I don't want to give any examples because that's the whole point, but if that sounds like something even remotely interesting... you gotta check it out.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
