5 TV Shows You'll Become Obsessed With

Every so often I find myself in what the Amazon Fire commercials refer to as a 'showhole'. A weird time when you don't have a show to binge watch, or you can't stick to just one show. Usually, this happens right at the beginning of summer, because I have so much more time to watch TV and no idea what to watch. Right now I'm in the middle of a showhole, and watching an abundance of different TV shows. Here are my favorite tv shows as of right now!

1. Bones

This has always been my favorite show. It is one of the few shows that I watch live and really need to keep up with. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Dechanel) is one of my favorite characters of all time. She is a genius, and complex character, and watch her develop over the years has been mesmerizing. Currently on its 11th season, it was renewed for one last 12th season to start at the end of this year, or sometime in the next. Bones follows a team of forensic scientists that team up with the FBI to solve murders in and around Washington DC. Episodes can be watched by themselves, or chronologically.

Where to watch: Thursday nights on Fox, Netflix, Hulu

2. Political Animals

This is a Netflix Original mini-series that I watched in less than a day. I originally started it because I wanted to watch Sebastian Stan, who gives a stellar performance as TJ, but was hooked by the complexities and motives of the other characters. This series follows the drama behind Secretary of State and former first lady, Elaine Barrish (Sigourney Weaver). She is confronted with scandals stemmed from her cheating ex-husband (Ciarán Hinds), her twin sons (Sebastian Stan and James Wolk), and a political journalist (Carla Gugino). I don't know much about politics but it reminded me a lot of the Clinton's. Overall, it was drama packed and hits a lot of tough issues, such as drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, and homosexuality. With five 42 minute episodes, and one 75 minute episode, you'll find yourself wanting more.

3. Gilmore Girls

I recently started watching Gilmore Girls from the beginning, in preparation for the four-part reunion special. I have slowed down my binging greatly as I near the end of the series. I grew up watching Gilmore Girls I remember coming home from school, putting on ABC Family, and watching that and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The show is fast-paced, witty, and filled with hilarious jokes. The quick paced dialogue is unlike any other show, and although the drama and relationship quarrels seem, at times, unrealistic, it is an overall great show.

4. Ink Master

Last summer I watched an Ink Master marathon on a rainy day during vacation. I have been hooked ever since. A TV competition revolving around some of the world's best tattoo artists is just as cool as it sounds. Even the worst tattoos on the show, are still amazing to me. Throw in the drama of angry human canvases, fights between artists, and even sometimes love interests, and it makes for the perfect show. Every week someone is knocked out during the elimination tattoo, and the season ends with a live finale featuring the top three artists. The last one standing is crowned the Ink Master.

Where to watch: Spike.com, Hulu

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

When this first came out on Netflix I watched it in maybe two days. I was crushed when I finished it. Finally, after months of waiting, the second season came out. I watched the first few episodes, slowly but surely I have been nearing the end of the season, watching sporadically since it was aired. Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) was locked in a bunker as a part of a cult since she was a child. Now a grown adult, she has to make herself a place in the world. Hilarious and ridiculous, you are never not laughing with this show. Cameos from famous comedians, such as Tina Fey, and Anna Camp, make the show that much more entertaining.

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.
