10 Netflix Shows You Didn't Know You Were Missing
Pixelvulture.com

According to "TIME", there are approximately 86.7 million Netflix subscribers worldwide as of October, 2016. Netflix has become a worldwide sensation that most of us are using on a daily or almost daily basis. With that being said, how many individuals out of these 86.7 million truly know everything there is to explore on Netflix? Here are some must-watch shows that are currently on Netflix that you probably didn't know you were missing!


1. "The 100"

This show takes place in a futuristic world. After a nuclear war, people from multiple nations were sent into space to live. The time frame takes place 97 years after the war, and they realize at this point that their spaceship housing is failing. They send 100 juvenile delinquents back to the Earth to see whether it is now livable or not. This show is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, and I would highly recommend this for those who like unique storylines. It's well crafted, but definitely not for the faint of heart.


2. "Brain Games"

"Brain Games" doesn't have a specific plot line throughout the show. However, each episode is uniquely its own in explaining (or rather, showing) how the brain works. It's not your stereotypical documentary. The show is great about getting you to interact and definitely keeps you engaged the whole time. This is a fun show and is family friendly.


3. "How I Met Your Mother"

Also known as "HIMYM", this is a fun sitcom that consists of nine seasons, each episode running between 20-25 minutes. It's about Ted Mosby and his friends, how he is a hopeless romantic, and all of their adventures together. This is sure to be a show that you can binge-watch and is very humorous. It has a great story line too.


4. "Drop Dead Diva"

This show has an interesting twist on reincarnation. A model, who seems to have the perfect life, runs into a grapefruit truck while driving. She went up to Heaven and instead of entering, she goes back to Earth and lands in a plus-size lawyer's body. She now has to figure out how to live with a new identity and love her new look. It's a truly addicting show and the law aspect of it gives it a kick.


5. "New Girl"

This is another fun little sitcom that stars Zooey Deschanel. It's based in California and is about this girl named Jess and her every day life with three male roommates. If you want an upbeat and funny TV series that's similar to "How I Met Your Mother", this is the one!


6. "Penny Dreadful"

Stepping away from the sitcoms, "Penny Dreadful" is definitely not something to watch around the kiddos. On another note, it is a wonderfully crafted show, retelling the tales of Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and even more. They are all intertwined in this suspenseful, yet unique show.


7. "Lie To Me"

If you prefer more of a crime based show, this one is right up your alley. The main character, Cal Lightman, studies facial expressions to tell when someone is lying. This show takes an interesting twist on criminal investigating!


8. "Fuller House"


Once you get past the first episode or two of Bob Saget's awkward acting, this show actually proves itself to be pretty good! Though it will never fully compete with the original "Full House", it is still really fun to watch. It's also cool to see how the kids have grown up and how they are now raising families of their own.


9. "Bates Motel"

Based on the 1959 novel and 1960 film "Psycho", Norman Bates and his mother move to a new and small town. They move there so they can start over, start a new business and get away from the past. Lots of cryptic things start to happen, and the truth about Norman comes out.


10. "White Collar"

For you crime lovers, this is also your type of show. Neal Caffrey, the main character, works with the FBI to conduct investigations into other white collar criminals. The real twist is that Neal himself is a criminal! It's interesting how it pans out, especially because it's from the mind of a "criminal" and it puts a new spin on a crime show.


So here is your list of the ten shows on Netflix that you may be missing out on! These are some interesting TV series that are definitely worth watching on Netflix. Be sure to get your episode binging on with this variety!

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.
