We all know what Christmas Break is for: watching an unheavenly amount of Netflix. For this article, I am going to go ahead and try to guess what you guys spent the month watching.
1. "Master of None"
Aziz Ansari's new show is literally his book but in fiction form. Which is great, because his book, "Modern Romance," was enlightening, easy to read and educational. A take on the millennial approach to love,and dating, this series is for anyone who wants to get analytical about our generation and watch something enjoyable at the same time.
2. "Making a Murderer"
This docuseries tells the story of Steven Avery, a man accused of the murder of a 25-year-old after spending two decades behind bars for a crime he did not commit. Highly publicized, and widely talked about, it has garnered a lot of attention.
3. "Law and Order: SVU"
Because you know how to live your life right. You just do.
4. "The West Wing"
Walk and talk my friends. Whether you love or hate Aaron Sorkin, someone in your family probably has strong opinions on "The West Wing." And someone in your family probably watches reruns when they have the time. Reliving the Bartlett White House happens on occasion. It's natural. It's fine.
5. "How to Get Away With Murder"
Shonda Rhimes made you do it. I know she did. But it's worth watching. This Viola Davis drama on ABC has garnered a lot of attention over the last year. And it coined the term, "Bitch baby," whatever that means.
6. John Mulaney's Stand-Up Special
The only things I knew about John Mulaney before watching this were: he had a hilarious bit about Ice-T on "Law and Order: SVU," and he looks like the guy from the band Fun. This special opened me up to some of his other material, and it was a great way to spend a lazy Friday night with my family.
7. Bill Murray's Christmas Special
My family is really bad at Christmas so the whole present opening process on Christmas morning lasts about four minutes and 37 seconds. So we are forced to find other ways to spend Christmas Day before eating dinner. While my brother and I in our teens usually watched the Narnia movies back to back, such a tradition died out inexplicably. This Christmas morning, we watched "A Very Murray Christmas." It's a lot of familiar SNL faces, and light-hearted humor, perfect for a Christmas morning.
8. "Jessica Jones"
I will be perfectly honest. I could not get into this show. However, a large majority of Netflix watchers did. A new show about a Marvel superhero, "Jessica Jones" is getting a lot of praise and accolades. Definitely something to check out if you like that genre.
9. "Narcos"
A series about Pablo Escobar, one of the biggest drug dealers of all time, that has been gaining a lot of attention.
10. "Portlandia"
Because making fun of hipsters is now hipster.
11. "Friday Night Lights"
Because clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
And as for what I personally watched over break, which no one else did: "The Mysteries of Laura" because it's about me, obviously.
