7 Binge-Worthy Shows On Netflix Now
Wired

Christmas break is our time to finally relax without having any looming assignments to procrastinate. I like to spend my break glued to the couch, only getting up to rummage through the kitchen for anything edible or to relieve my bladder.

For the first few days I was at my parents' house, I was relishing in the cable TV I'd been deprived of while at college, but the commercials were just too much for my attention span, so I reverted back to my old friend Netflix.

If you're spending your Christmas break vegging out and eating all of your parents' food feeling like there's nothing to watch, check out these binge-worthy shows on Netflix. If you don't have Netflix, get Netflix.


Black Mirror

Let's start off with a bang and talk about the greatest series of stand-alone episodes that will make you question everything. If you're the type of person who spends entire shows and movies accurately predicting the plot, I dare you to try and predict these story lines -- because you won't be able to. Similar to the old TV show "The Twilight Zone," each episode explores techno-paranoia and will leave you speechless. My favorite episodes are Nosedive, White Bear and a San Junipero.

Disclaimer: The first episode is very...odd. Also, I wouldn't recommend for younger audiences, as some episodes contain swearing, sex scenes and nudity.

How to Get Away with Murder

This show came out in 2014 but we started it just a few nights ago and my mom and I are obsessed. This drama is fast-paced and is the easiest to binge watch, whether you want to or not. Each episode dives deeper into the intertwining lives of the characters that you just can't stop hitting "next episode." If you like watching badass lawyers win cases with a whole lot of drama and suspense thrown in the mix, this is your show.

Disclaimer: Not the show for your conservative grandmother.

Gilmore Girls

If you haven't already watched every episode on TV and practically grown up with Rory, now is your chance because Netflix has blessed us with the entire series ready to be binge watched. Watching this single mom and her brainy daughter will have you saying, "lol, same" as you follow them through life and its hardships. Once you've finished this witty series, start on "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life," the Netflix revival of your favorite relatable series.

Fuller House

Did you ever wonder what happened to the Tanner family from "Full House"? You can find out what they're all up to thanks to Netflix bringing us "Fuller House." Grab your favorite comfort food and binge watch this feel-good series, and keep an eye out for Season Three!

Disclaimer: Michelle Tanner not included.

Gossip Girl

I've seen the series more times than I'd like to admit, but I just never get tired of watching rich teenagers with their scandals and love triangles. Who does B end up with? Can Dan and Little J survive in the Upper East Side? What really happened while S was away at boarding school? And who the hell is Gossip Girl???

Disclaimer: Do not google ANYTHING about the show or you will spoil the entire thing for yourself on accident.

Stranger Things

Another Netflix original that has captured audiences and forced them to binge watch the entire series. Inspired by the 1980s era of science fiction thrillers, a mother desperately investigates the disappearance of her son and stumbles upon scary mysteries along the way involving supernatural forces and unheard of government experiments.

Disclaimer: Do not watch late at night if you're home alone.

Jessica Jones

Marvel superhero turned personal investigator Jessica Campbell Jones Cage spends her days in a lonely haze. She picks up PI jobs to make ends meet and feed her alcohol needs while struggling with the PTSD she has from her past. You'll definitely get sucked into this dark story.

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.

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.
