11 Shows On Netflix That Will Finally Give You Something To Watch
BBC Drama Productions

So you've fallen into a Netflix hole. By that I mean you find yourself staring blankly at your "Watch it Again" list. You're scrolling past How I Met Your Mother, Stranger Things, and god forbid One Tree Hill. You might actually be considering binging Gossip Girl for the 4th time.

Well scroll up and get your search bar ready. Here are 11 shows that will finally give you something to watch(for the first time).

1. Atypical


I was honestly very skeptical beforehand of if I would like this show. Like the show's name, Atypical has unusual elements compared to other coming-of-age series. It focuses on the life of an 18-year-old who is on the autism spectrum. It's quirky characters and dark humor make it a truly interesting show. Plus, it's already been renewed for a second season which means more episodes for you.

2. Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce

This show isn't just for your mom. Without giving too much away, the main character Abby is a total badass when dealing with life obstacles. It's basically a 10x better Sex and the City.

3. "3%"

This is another one of several shows about dystopian societies on Netflix but with a twist. Just remember to set the language to English, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

4. Master of None

You would think that a show by Aziz Ansari would lean more toward comedy than quality but this show is actually a work of art. Period.

5. Girlboss

This show will give you all the confidence you need to fearlessly go out into the world, even if you have no idea what you're doing.

6. Dear White People

This show follows a group of students of color at a predominantly white college who face social injustice. Each episode, focuses on a particular character in the show so you see many different perspectives. It's also filled with unexpected humor.

7. Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father

Just trust me and watch the first episode in full before you decide if you like it. Jack's father is the sassiest old man who has blessed this earth and I am very ok with it.

8. American Vandal

American Vandal stars Jimmy Tatro, who you may know as the frat boy, Rooster, in 22 Jump Street. This show was meant to be a parody of crime documentary shows but I was seriously hooked from the beginning. You'll have to watch to know what I am talking about.

9.Reign

You wouldn't necessarily think a show about young Mary Queen of Scotts would be funny, scandalous, and dramatic but Reign definitely delivers.

10. Land Girls

This British drama is a bit different than a lot of shows I've seen in it's filming style. The show follows women who are part of the British "Land Army" in the middle of World War II.

11. Luther

Starring Idris Elba, Luther is a crime drama about a dedicated detective who has some hidden demons. That's all I'll give away.

If you've already gone through all of these then I can't help you much more than advising you to catch up on these shows that are unfortunately leaving Netflix this month:

  • Goosebumps
  • How I Met Your Mother (Seasons 1-9)
  • Jessie (Seasons 1-4)
  • The Human Centipede: First Sequence
  • We Are Still Here
  • Cristela (Season 1)
  • Dream House
  • Joan Rivers: Don’t Start with Me
  • The Break-Up
  • Reggie Yates Outside Man: Volume 2
  • Somewhere Only We Know
  • The Warlords
  • Hatched
  • Legends (Seasons 1-3)
  • The Gambler

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

2063

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
