We all spend hours on Netflix browsing through TV show after TV show trying to find what hit we are going to get hooked on next. We ask our friends for suggestions but they always tell you the same shows that you have already seen or spoil a TV show for you or get upset with you when you put off watching their all time favorite show. To avoid that awkwardness between friends I have created a list of TV shows featured on Netflix or HBO that I have heard time and time again are considered “binge-worthy.”
