7 Netflix Shows You Shouldn't Waste Your Time Watching

Wikimedia Commons

As a human living in 2016, your time is precious--which is why when it comes to watching television for five hours and four minutes every day on average, you need to make sure you're investing in the right shows. Nothing is worse than binging an entire series only to realize that you could have been using that time to watch an even better one. So, here are seven Netflix shows that are definitely not worth watching.

1. Friends

Six people who are all friends with each other (and not just on Facebook)? Talk about an unrealistic premise. If it's fantasy you're interested in, then try something a little less "out there," like Game of Thrones.

2. Orange Is The New Black

Let this show be a lesson that spinoffs never work, as this Steven Avery origin story never quite took off. Plus, how are you supposed to pronounce its nickname, OINTB? Do you say all of the letters individually, or is it "oint-buh"? You're looking for a crime drama, not a thinker.

3. Parks and Recreation

First of all, everyone knows Amy Poehler doesn't live in Indiana because no one important lives in Indiana. Second, a branch of government dedicated to local parks? This sci-fi/reality mashup just has a little too much going on.

4. Luke Cage

This show's titular character is described as "a hoodie-wearing, unbreakable ex-con." Please, everyone knows con men wear long trench coats filled with watches.

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Um, isn't Luke Cage supposed to be the unbreakable one? Recycled plot lines are the worst.

6. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Wouldn't it be less redundant to just say "ex-girlfriend"? Besides, the boys on this show are just as crazy. Watch one episode, and you'll see them singing and dancing. Boys don't sing and dance; they play sports.

7. Fuller House.

But actually.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
