18 Shows To Binge Watch On Netflix
Hollywood Reporter

Binge-watching is a serious habit, and with binge watching comes the ultimate decision of what to watch next after your current series comes to a conclusion. To help with this though, I devised a list of some of the greatest shows to binge watch on Netflix after you run out of things to watch because let’s face it, everyone always needs some new recommendations.

1. Penny Dreadful

Penny Dreadful is honestly one of the greatest shows that I’ve ever watched on Netflix. With the perfect amount of scare, gore, and literature’s most terrifying characters, Penny Dreadful is definitely one of my top 5 favorite Netflix shows. Now although Penny Dreadful recently came to an end, a spin-off series is rumored to be happening soon, so it’s best to catch up quickly.


2. Grey's Anatomy

If you love hurting and being in pain, then Grey’s Anatomy is certainly for you. With the 13th season currently premiering on ABC, there is just no words to describe the immense amounts of love that I feel for this show and its characters…now Shonda Rhimes on the other hand that’s another story.


3. The 100

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, 100 teenagers are sent down from space to Earth to determine if the planet is habitable, but along the way, they realize that they're not alone and must learn to survive.

4. Shameless

Although I just recently started Shameless on Netflix, it is easily one of the most entertaining shows out there. From depicting real world difficulties that some face to showing one of the greatest family dynamics I have ever seen, everyone needs to start watching Shameless ASAP if you haven't already.

5. How To Get Away With Murder

Viola Davis need I say anymore? If I do well let’s just say this show is purely murder and mystery and you may want to catch up quickly before season 2 hits the fan with all of the drama. I mean we’re two episodes in already and this season is absolutely mind blowing!


6. Sherlock

If you love Benedict Cumberbatch this is certainly the show for you. With his witty remarks and his sociopathic tendencies, Benedict plays the absolute best Sherlock I have ever seen in my life. Similar to many other shows on this list, it is all about the mystery and who killed who. But let’s face it, no description of Sherlock can do justice to the actual show itself and with Season 4 starting in January you may want to get on top of this show while you still can.


7. Being Human (U.K.)

If you love the supernatural, this show is certainly for you. From vampires to werewolves and even ghosts, Being Human (U.K.) is an extremely engaging show with a lot of plot twists and turns.

8. Burn Notice

If anyone has read my first article, you know my love for Burn Notice and Michael Westen, so it’s kind of self-explanatory why this show is on this list. It comes highly recommended. Oh, and there's also corporate espionage.

9. Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time is a wonderful show to watch if you haven’t already. By connecting every fairy tale ever made together to formulate one giant story, amazing is definitely one of the few words to describe the overall whole of the show.


10. Quantico

Much like How To Get Away With Murder, the new season of Quantico has just started and it’s absolutely riveting already. From being accused of working as a terrorist inside of the FBI to attempting to find ways to clear her name, Alex Parrish makes this whole show worthwhile. Did I mention you learn a thing or two about FBI Recruitment Camp?


11. Private Practice

After binge watching Grey’s Anatomy for a whole summer and having to wait for Season 12 to amp up, I stumbled upon private Practice one day. Private Practice is a spin-off show based on Grey’s Anatomy that takes place right after Addison Montgomery leaves in Season 2. This show not only reflects Grey’s Anatomy so much, but it is also one of the best spin-off series that I have ever watched.


12. Criminal Minds

Despite Criminal Minds totally not being the same anymore since the departure of Shemar Moore and Thomas Gibson, it is easily one of the best crime shows on television to date. With eerily creepy story lines and very realistic cases, Criminal Minds is my all-time favorite show.


13. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

This Netflix Original Series created by Tina Fey is honestly a blessing. The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is an extremely comical show that takes place after a woman is rescued from a doomsday cult and tries to assimilate into the modern day culture of New York City.

And let's not forget about Tituss Andromedon.

14. American Horror Story

If you love being scared nearly half to death, American Horror Story is definitely the show for you. With each season telling a different story that somehow interconnects with a later season, AHS provides enough gore, horror, and paranoia to last a life time.


15. Grand Hotel

Now I’m just going to throw this one out there, but Grand Hotel is certainly an acquired taste. Grand Hotel is a Spanish television show—not a soap opera—about murder, mystery, family lies, and an affair—or three. With 66 episodes spaced out over 3 seasons, this is the only show that got me through my Senior year of high school and is definitely a must watch for any who dare to start it.

16. Ripper Street

Ripper Street, much like Being Human (U.K) and Sherlock, is a BBC Channel Original that follows the plot of crime and mystery occurring in London during the time of Jack the Ripper. Now if this peaks your interest already, I would definitely advise watching the show as the final season is premiering October 12th.


17. From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series

Much like the movie written and starred in by Quentin Tarantino in 1996, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, is extremely similar to the movie itself, but in show form of course. Taking place over 3 seasons thus far, El Rey Network in coordination with Robert Rodriguez, who produced the original movie, have taken this movie to a whole new level with comedic family banter, killing, prophecies, and snake-like people.

18. Charmed

Last on my list is one of the most classic television series to exist: Charmed. Charmed is a television show about sister witches who fight against evil warlocks and wizards trying to take the lives of innocents all over San Francisco. Oh and it also stars Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and Rose McGowan.


Now if any of these shows sound remotely interesting, I would definitely recommend you watch them! Even if you're simply bored and need something to do, watch one of the shows listed. I guarantee you won't regret it.

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.
