Netflix

Netflix is known for their seemingly limitless options on TV shows and movies, but they are also known for having several great originals.

1. The OA

This show is a bit of a sci-fi type adventure show that has one season so far. The OA is about a woman, Prairie Johnson, that is blind and disappeared for 7 years only to suddenly return. When she returns back to the town she has strange scars on her back, has been underground and away from people for a good length of time, and she can now see.

She ends up befriending some of the local, neighborhood kids and sharing her story, as she starts to go by The OA. She recruits her friends to help her figure out what happened with the other people as well.

2. Love

Love is a romantic comedy series on Netflix that focuses on characters Mickey and Gus. Mickey is getting over her substance abuse problems and falls in love with Gus, who just got out of a relationship. The show has a lot of real-time issues that people of our generation deal with.

3. Dear White People

Dear White People is probably one of the best and most underrated originals that Netflix has to offer. DWP is a television adaption of the 2014 movie that it was based upon and continues to expand on.

The show is an insightful and smart view of the racial politics that occur on college campuses. It focuses on a group of students of color at a predominately white Ivy League campus and how they face social injustice. It's both entertaining and an eye-opening experience for viewers.

4. The Crown

Netflix's The Crown is a biographical story about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. The season covers everything from her marriage to Philip in 1947 to her sister Princess Margaret's engagement in 1955 to Peter Townsend. The show is able to present an insider view of the very beginnings of her reign as queen.

Winston Churchill is also shown a lot, as he struggled with public shame a lot towards the end of his career. This is a fascinating series to watch, as it's all around the post-WWII era and how a British Monarch manages to keep a handle on things.

5. Riverdale


Riverdale is a teen drama that is based off the Archie comics. After the death of one of the rich and popular football players, Jason Blossom, the small city of Riverdale starts to investigate the sudden and sad murder. Archie and his friends begin to take it upon themselves to figure out the murder story, uncovering a lot of buried secrets about their precious town, as everything is not always how it appears to be.

6. Stranger Things

This is a sci-fi, fantasy thriller show that is a major throwback to the 1980s, as it has a major theme similar to all horror movies alike. Stranger Things is about a boy named Will who is mysteriously captured by a creature and then trapped in its world. His mother and the local sheriff start to look into his disappearance.

His friends get their bikes and start investigating his disappearance too when they stumble across a young girl that has telepathic powers. Between the sheriff, the mom, the boys, and the special girl the things they manage to reveal is tremendous.

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.
