5 Netflix And Amazon Prime Shows You Should Be Watching
seekingalpha.com

I'm as bad as the next person when it comes to re-watching shows on Netflix. Shows like The Office and Shameless have us hooked and we can't seem to watch anything else, even with the hundreds of shows that streaming services like Netflix and Amazon have to offer. Still, there are a few shows worth checking out:


1. "Sneaky Pete", Amazon Prime

Do you remember Phoebe's brother Frank from Friends? Well, he's starring in his own Amazon show about a con-man who's just been released from prison and is trying to repay a debt to Bryan Cranston to save his brother. In order to do this, he pretends to be his prison roommate, Pete, and lives with Pete's family in order to cover up. It will make you realize your family is not as dysfunctional as you think, and it has all the intrigue and back-and-forth of a good con.


2. "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend", Netflix

If you like musicals, this show is for you. Rebecca Bunch is hell-bent on making her ex-boyfriend fall in love with her, a storyline that most of us can relate to. It's quirky and completely original, with a song sang by the cast each episode, that will have you singing to yourself and wondering if you're as crazy as Rebecca. Seasons 1 and 2 are on Netflix right now so get on it.


3. "Love", Netflix

Season 2 of this dry, yet endearing show is being released on March 10th. The first season is only 10 episodes so you can catch up quick. It follows two people living in L.A. and trying to navigate their jobs as they, you guessed it, fall in love with each other. The humor is extremely sarcastic, and most often found from Mickey's off-beat Australian roommate, this show is worth the watch.


4. "Santa Clarita Diet", Netflix

If you like zombies but The Walking Dead is too much, this is the show for you. Drew Barrymore plays a recently-turned zombie, while her family is just trying to live a normal suburban life. Not the greatest show ever made, but it has heart and it will make you laugh, even as you find yourself completed disgusted by Barrymore eating a leg.


5. "The Man in the High Castle", Amazon Prime

If you've ever wondered what the world would be like if the Allies hadn't won World War II, this show is for you. It's an Emmy-winning show currently in its second season, and it has all the intrigue and political plot twists you could ask for while you wait for House of Cards to come back.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
