Everyone has had one of those days where you're scrolling through Netflix and you can't find anything to watch. I've had many friends come to me and say, "Hey, you have no life, right? What show should I start watching?" and I always can give out a new one to start. So here's my top 15 shows to binge watch (and a bonus!) varying in series length and program genre. (NOTE: I only chose shows that I have watched myself, so as to accurately give a good recommendation. I'm sure there are other incredible shows out there, but these are my personal favorites!)

+1 Bonus : F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (1994-2004 // 10 Seasons)

One of the classics. I'll admit, I only started watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. in the past year. I know, I know, why the hell did I wait so long?, but I finally jumped on the wagon. If, for some reason, you have no idea what this show is about, I'll give you the vague details: There are 6 friends (Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Monica, Joey, and Phoebe) that live in the same apartment building and have crazy adventures all day. The episodes are only 20 minutes long, so they're not hard to binge watch, and they're crazy addicting. Also, once you've watched one episode, you'll never be able to listen to the theme song without clapping along ever again.

15. Archer (2009-Present // 7+ Seasons)

This show is hilarious. It's also a cartoon. The artwork in this show is very similar to that of a comic book-vivid colors and dark black outlines. The show revolves around Sterling Archer, a spy with a narcissistic streak who's full of himself and cocky as can be, and his team of agents that work under his mother, Malory Archer. Everyone has their issues and most of the episodes are spent making horribly inappropriate comments while Archer completely screw up his mission and then takes credit for it. This show is also incredibly well written and the story-lines are always funny and thrilling.

14. Daredevil (2015-Present // 2+ Seasons)

This show is dark. Like super dark. As in, there's a blind vigilante who goes around beating up thugs and criminals in a skin tight red suit using his weird ninja vision. I'm so serious. So basically, Matt Murdock is a blind defense attorney by day, and at nights, he turns into the elusive Daredevil-a street vigilante who goes after the worst of mankind (rapists, murderers, pedophiles, etc.) and gets his ass kicked on a regular basis. Because of his blindness (which was caused by chemicals getting into his eyes when he was a child), he has heightened senses and his incredibly fast and can hear seemingly up to miles away. The characters are all lovable (even the villain) and it's very easy to get hooked into the lives of Hell's Kitchen resident heroes. This is a Netflix original series and I have to say, they knocked this one right out of the ballpark.

13. Jessica Jones (2015-Present // 1+ Seasons)

Another Netflix original series that I've come to love. Also another incredibly dark one. If you think Daredevil is bad, wait until you watch Jessica Jones. Jessica is a raging alcoholic and the biggest pessimist I've ever seen. Not only that, but she's a private investigator with dry wit and a fight-me attitude. Coupled with the fact that she's not entirely human and has super strength leads for a lot of unfortunate situations. Turns out that a year prior to the start of the show, another inhuman, known as Kilgrave (played by the incredible David Tennant) had taken her captive with his ability to coerce people into doing whatever he wants. As the show unravels, the audience finds out what actually happened to Jessica to make her the way she is, and let me tell you-it's heartbreaking.

12. Doctor Who (1963-1989, 2005-Present // 35+ Seasons)

This should be unsurprising to most people. This is one of the most popular science fiction TV shows on television. Shown on BBC in the UK, the story follows that of The Doctor, a space alien who moves throughout time and space in an old police box. Yeah, I know-it's exactly as weird as it sounds. The Doctor is a Time Lord, a race of alien beings that had been "wiped out", leaving the Doctor as the last one (or so he believes). He travels with companions, often witty and entertaining humans who travel with the Doctor through time and space. Avid fans will debate until their last breath on who the best Doctor was, but no matter who you choose, the show is great fun and extremely entertaining. (Also, Ten was the best).

11. Arrow (2012-Present // 4+ Seasons)

This is another one of those dark shows I mentioned earlier. Based off of the DC Comic's Green Arrow, the show follows the life of billionaire Oliver Queen, who has been presumed dead for five years after his yacht sank and he was never heard from again. The pilot episode picks up with Oliver being rescued from an island and brought back to civilization. The show is equal parts flashbacks, and for the last four seasons, we've been seeing what happened to Oliver while he was on the island. Like our good friend Matt Murdock, he becomes a street vigilante with a vendetta against a list of people his father gave him before he died. Oliver goes through his ups and downs throughout the show, and at points it can be incredibly painful, but it's so easy to fall in love with him and the other characters on the show. Speaking of which, you're also introduced to the hero of my number 10 show in season two!

10. The Flash (2014-Present // 2+ Seasons)

This is another show based off of a DC Comic on my list today. Based off of the comic book series by the same name, the show follows Barry Allen, a CSI for the Central City police department. He lives with his pseudo-adoptive father, Joe West, and his best friend from childhood, Iris West. In the series premiere, Barry is struck by lightning at the same time a particle accelerator goes off-putting him in a coma for nine months and giving him super speed. Barry then begins training to become a superhero and that's where the story picks up. The audience actually meets Barry on Arrow as he comes to Starling City to investigate a case similar to one in his town. Barry is easy to love and the cast is incredibly diverse (a disabled character in a place of power, a prominent black cop, a headstrong black female lead, an incredibly smart Latino lead, a female scientist, and a gay police chief) and the show is laden with witty banter and humor, while having mature themes (death and murder, mainly), but it is one of my favorite shows and I look forward to it every night it comes on.

9. Sherlock (2010-Present // 3+ Seasons)

Another super popular BBC program-Sherlock revolves around the life of Sherlock Holmes and is based off of a series of detective novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock is a private investigator of sorts with sociopathic tendencies and a holier-than-thou persona. Balanced out only by his best friend and companion, Dr. John Watson, an Afghanistan war veteran who can't seem to let go of adventure, the two begin living together and that's the start of their friendship. The two are dynamic together and have some of the most insightful and witty banter I've ever seen. The episodes are an hour long and are wildly entertaining and honestly, I can't explain half of the stuff they come up with.

8. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013-Present // 3+ Seasons)

Honestly, the only reason I started watching this show was because I was really confused when they mentioned Coulson in some of the MARVEL movies post-Avengers. I started watching the show not really knowing what to expect, but I was hooked on it after the first few episodes. The story actually starts with Skye, an orphaned hacker who's heading a resistance against SHIELD (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). She's immediately picked up for questioning and after working against them for a few episodes, she finally joins the agency and becomes an agent. We are also introduced to Inhumans on this show, as Skye gets hit with a terrigen crystal and gains the ability to create earthquakes, earning her the nickname Quake. The show is rich with MARVEL Easter eggs, so if you're a fan of the comics, then you'll definitely fall in love with this shows.

7. Merlin (2008-2012 // 5 Seasons)

This is one of the few shows that made me bawl my eyes out. Now, let it be said that I am not one to cry at movies, books, or TV shows. But at the series finale of this show, I cried for the whole episode and for a good ten minutes after. This is one of the few shows on my list that is complete, so five seasons is all you get. The show revolves around Merlin, a young wizard from a tiny village who was sent by his mother to learn how to control his abilities from an old family friend, Gaius, who happens to be the healer in the royal palace. Immediately upon arrival, Merlin accidentally reveals his magic to Gaius and pisses off the future king, Prince Arthur Pendragon, and gets himself thrown in the stocks. Hilariously, Merlin manages to save Arthur's life and becomes his personal manservant (to both of their dismay) and the two manage to go on all sorts of crazy adventures that are both heartbreaking and entertaining. It's loosely based off of the myth of King Arthur and the Knights of Round Table, so you can expect to see King Arthur, Morgana, Sir Percival, Sir Gwaine, Sir Lancelot, and even Queen Guinevere. The characters are intensely lovable and it is only that much more painful when the show concludes.

6. American Horror Story (2011-Present // 5+ Seasons)

A cult favorite. I remember when this show came out and I actually said, "I'm not watching that, hell no," because I am scared of literally everything. But, I somehow found myself watching the first season and I was in love. Now, every season is different which is why this show is so incredible. The first season, Murder House, dealt with a family moving into a haunted house and dealing with the spirits and demons that inhabited it. The second season, Asylum, dealt with an insane asylum in the 1960's run by nuns. The third season, Coven, deals with a coven of witches in New Orleans and their quest to be the next supreme. The fourth season, Freak Show, deals with a traveling freak show circus in the 1950's. The most recent season, Hotel, deals with a haunted hotel that has vampires, ghosts, and everything in between. The only thing that remains the same on this show is the actors. The characters are all different and there's a little bit of something for everyone. Also, in Coven we got this iconic quote: "Surprise bitch. I bet you thought you'd seen the last of me."

5. Supernatural (2005-Present // 11+ Seasons)

One of my personal favorites of all time. Seriously. I marathoned the first eight seasons of this show in two weeks. TWO WEEKS. I couldn't get enough. The show follows the lives of Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles), two young men who grew up to hunt demons, ghosts, and everything in between. Every few seasons the plot changes a little bit, similar to American Horror Story, but not quite to the same extent. Season One is a very monster-of-the-week type of season that deals with different creatures every week. Season Two deals with Sam and his afflictions with demon blood. Season Three deals with Dean's deal with a demon and his time left on earth. And so on. However the plot changes, the characters remain the same. It's so easy to fall in love with Sam and Dean (everyone they meet actually) and every time something bad happens to them, it's easy to feel hurt and upset for them. Sam and Dean certainly have their ups and downs on the show, as most people do, but the show has a great theme and message that revolves around their bond as brothers. Family is the most important thing to the Winchesters, and thanks to this show, I now live by the motto: Family don't end in blood. (Also, driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole).

4. Teen Wolf (2011-2017 // 6 Seasons)

Another personal favorite of mine. Teen Wolf deals with the life of Scott McCall, a high school sophomore who happens to get bit by a werewolf on the night before school starts while he's out in the woods looking for a dead body with his best friend, Stiles Stilinski. Stiles is the one who figures out that Scott is a werewolf, and the two embark on a quest to figure out how to get rid of the bite (mainly in season one) and then learning how to deal with. Along the way, they meet other wolves and a few other creatures, such as: werecoyotes, kanimas, darachs, nogitsunes, kitsunes, banshees, and more supernatural creatures than you can imagine. The characters are painfully endearing and getting swept up in their world is something that happens without even knowing. This show takes place with the characters in high school, which is something that their main audience can relate to. Besides dealing with supernatural creatures and things that go bump in the night, they also deal with typical teenage things: relationships, friendships, school, and everything else that happens in adolescence. The show is currently still on MTV, but this most recent upcoming season will be the final one.

3. Criminal Minds (2005-Present // 11+ Seasons)

This is a much more recent favorite of mine. I started watching this about three weeks ago and I'm already on season nine. It's terribly addicting and the characters are very easy to fall in love with. The story follows a team of FBI profilers in the Behavioral Analysis Unit and there's a character that everyone can relate to. Penelope Garcia is a computer wizard with a curvaceous body and a killer wit, but her relationship with the hunky Derek Morgan (a super sexy BAU profiler who has a gorgeous smile and a sculpted body) is what really sets her apart. The two of them have a beautiful friendship that seems to border that of a sexual relationship, but in actuality, the two are just best friends with an immense love for each other. Then there's Aaron Hotchner, a stern but lovable leader of the team who kicks ass and takes names all day. He doesn't smile or joke often, but when it does, it'll make your heart flutter. There's Jennifer Jareau, JJ if you will, who is a media-liaison-turned-profiled who uses her maternal instincts to slow serial killers in their tracks with the power of compassion and kindness. And finally, my personal favorite, Dr. Spencer Reid-a genius (his IQ is 187) who can read 20,000 words per minute and has an eidetic memory. He's extremely awkward and endearing but he loves his team more than anything and would do anything to save his friends. Every character on this show is unique in their own way and it's great to see such interesting dynamics on television. The characters are a family on the show and within a few episodes, I felt like I was right there with them. Seriously, if you love crime dramas, definitely give this one a go.

2. Outlander (2014-Present // 2+ Seasons)

One of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen. Outlander is based off of a series of books by Diana Gabaldon and takes place in 1740's Scotland on the cusp of the Jacobite war. The main character, Claire Randall (née Beauchamp) is a nurse in 1945 during World War II. After the war is over, she reunites with her husband Jack Randall and the two take a second honeymoon to Scotland. While there, Claire encounters a set of standing stones and is sent back in time almost two hundred years. She comes across a group of highland warriors and is taken by them for protection against the redcoats. Claire is an english woman living in Scotland, but going by a French name, so many believe her to be a french spy. While trying to get back to her own time, she falls in love with a scotsman named Jamie. The two fall in love and from there on out, it's a battle between wanting to go home and wanting to stay. Be warned though, this show is extremely dark. It deals with incredibly mature themes, such as murder, rape, miscarriage, torture, mutilation, and much more. The show has amazing cinematography and the graphics are incredible, so be aware that it can be unbelievably gory.

1. Game of Thrones (2011-Present // 6+ Seasons)

This should come as a surprise to no one. For the longest time, I wasn't on the bandwagon and I had no interest in this show. Then, one day, I decided to sit down and see what the hype was all about. Now I'm hooked. Game of Thrones is based off of a series of books by George R. R. Martin. To explain it in simple words--it takes place in a medieval setting and deals with different houses (Stark, Targaryen, Lannister, Baratheon, etc.) and families all fighting to gain control of the Iron Throne. The King or Queen of the Iron Throne is the one to rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and with great power comes a lot of really messed up shit. All of these families intertwine in a tale of backstabbing (literally, in Jamie Lannister's case), murder, incest (again in Jamie Lannister's case, ew), torture, sex, dragons, magic, and everything else you can imagine. This show is incredibly diverse and there are so many different stories and plots to follow that sometimes it can be hard to keep up with. But, ultimately the storytelling is one of a kind and is something that no one will ever be able to duplicate. This show has every type of character you can imagine and it's hard to not fall in love with all of them. Even the villains (looking at you, Cersei) are incredibly diverse and sometimes it's hard to hate them (except Cersei--screw her).
