5 Surprisingly Good Shows You Need to Binge Watch this Fall
The Odyssey Online

Fall is the season of falling leaves, pumpkin carving, going apple picking, and of course new seasons of all of our favorite shows. In today's modern world, we have gotten to a point where television is actually better than film in most cases. With so many creative and note-worthy shows, it's difficult to keep track of what's actually out there. I wanted to share a few of some of the shows that I have gotten addicted to. If you have time to fit one or all of these shows onto your list of shows to have a binging marathon to, I think these are definitely worth checking out.

1. Scream: The TV Series

This show is based off of the popular 90's slasher movie franchise, and honestly, when I first heard about this show I thought that it was going to be a train wreck, especially after Scream 4 had fallen extremely short of living up to its predecessors. The premise of the series follows high school student Emma Duvall, who seems to have the perfect life, until she and her friends become the prime target of an unknown killer. The haunting past of their small town comes back to unfold its secrets in a classic whodunit scenario.

2. You're the Worst

A smart comedy about modern romance follows the two toxic and self-destructive characters of Jimmy and Gretchen as they try to attempt the one thing both of them are horrible at: sustaining a healthy relationship. You're the Worst is currently in its third season, and although it is not a very well known show, its smart and witty dialogue, along with its strange set of characters make for an interesting story line.

3. Scream Queens

The creator of American Horror Story created this surprisingly smart and funny horror comedy about a series of murders spiraling around the sorority of Kappa Kappa Tau at Wallace University that are being committed by the "Red Devil Killer." Now in its second season, the show's setting has now changed to a hospital known as the CURE institute, where a few of our returning characters have come face to face with a new serial killer dubbed the "Green Meanie." You may find the show to be a bit ridiculous at first glance, but its satirical comedic structure and homage to popular horror classics make the show extremely entertaining and jaw dropping.

(Also, just FYI, John Stamos joined the cast for their new season, and he is just beautiful and amazing).

4. Bates Motel

This modern day prequel of the classic Hitchcock film, Psycho, centers around Norman Bates' backstory as a teenager and the strangely close relationship he has with his mother.

5. American Horror Story: Roanoke

Since its second season, the last few seasons of American Horror Story have somewhat fallen short due to its lack luster horror factor and plots that seem to go off on weird, and unnecessary tangents. Now in it's sixth season, the new theme of Roanoke is pretty frightening and contains a plot twist that is actually quite brilliant.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
