10 Netflix Shows to Binge Over Winter Break
Google

The best feeling about coming home for winter break finally being done. A semester has ended, the weight of finals is off your shoulders, and you no longer have all the stress that comes with finishing up classes. While you're not catching up on your sleep, you may find you need some new shows to watch on Netflix. Here are some new shows to watch while you're relaxing on your couch over break:

1. Master of None

This Netflix original series is seriously underrated. Created by Aziz Ansari, Master of None follows Dev, an actor in New York City. This comedy follows very relatable storylines and throws in jokes when you least expect to make this not only a personal favorite but a family favorite as well. It's just two seasons, so it's easy to binge in about three days, two if you are really trying.

2. Black Mirror

This show is AMAZING you guys! Each episode is different, but the overall theme of the series is futuristic, showing the dark side advances in technology can bring us. One of my favorite parts of Black Mirror is that they take a concept, like robot bees to replace the dying bee population, and escalate it in such a captivating way. If you're planning on binging, binge soon, the new season comes out December 29th.

3. Ozark

Jason Bateman stars in this crime thriller. Ozark is about Marty who secretly launders money for a drug cartel in Mexico. Marty has to move his family from Chicago to Lake of the Ozarks to throw the police off the scent, and you can sense the tension in the show. The show only has one season but will get you hooked after one or two episodes.

4. The Great British Baking Show

If you're a fan of British shows, baking shows, competition shows, or all of the above, then this show is for you. I was watching this show once with family, and the first comment made was that the show was very British, followed by a second comment about ten minutes later saying the show was really good. Next thing you know it we are debating over who's scones were the best. It's quickly additive.

5. The Crown

Speaking of British shows, you should add The Crown to your list as well. This show follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II, who's the current Queen of England, as she begins her reign over the country. Not only is this show growing a large fan base quickly, but just last year they won the Golden Globe for Best New Television Series - Drama, along with many other awards.

6. Shameless

Shameless is backed by a HUGE fanbase, and gets recommended to me by everyone I know recently. The show follows an alcoholic dad and his six kids as they cope with him. This comedy highlights the dysfunctional family as we see them learn and grow, despite how little they have.

7. American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson

This show received 22 EMMY NOMINATIONS, winning 9 which is more than any other show! Also, David Schwimmer stars along with Sarah Paulson. Need I say more? The show follows the OJ Simpson trial and does a very good job of following the true storyline while keeping you on the edge of your seat. The next season of American Crime Story involves the assassination of Gianni Versace!

8. Riverdale


Riverdale is based on the characters in Archie Comics and has a grown in popularity so much that many Halloween costumes were even inspired by the show. Cole Sprouse acts in the series, and this teen drama follows the investigation of a murder, and the whole town gets involved.

9. American Horror Story

American Horror Story is fantastic. Each season follows a different storyline from various time periods, and recently the director revealed the seasons were connected. The series blends humor with dark and twisted situations expertly, proving why it's been well recieved by all.

10. That 70's Show

OK, so hear me out: I've never seen That 70's Show until just recently. Not only is it SUPER funny, but it's really nice to watch a funny, light show that I haven't seen before. If you've already seen this show too many times, try finding a popular show you've never seen like The Office, Parks and Rec., or Family Guy and check it out! Another option would be a show you've never watched in order; pick one out and watch it from start to finish! This is what

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.
