5 Binge-Worthy Netflix Shows

Raise your hand if you're that person who gets giddy and overly joyful when someone mentions Dwight Shrute, Dr. McDreamy, Leslie Knope, Piper Chapman, or Francis and Claire Underwood. Don't worry, I'm right there with you. I have to admit after watching "Grey's Anatomy," I feel like I can diagnose just about anything that pops up in my life. I also have to admit I feel like I should go buy a $500 suit after watching Claire Underwood wear the pants to the max in her marriage and in politics. To be honest and quite possibly crass, I think the immense world of Netflix is shafted at times and taken for granted. Whether you want a new show to binge-watch instead of studying or need a reason not to be basic, look no further! Check out these lesser known shows below to switch up your daily Netflix routine!

1. "New Girl"

If you're a Dunder Mifflin or Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department guru, this show is right up your alley. Jess Day, a quirky, cute-as-a-button teacher, and her closest guys friends are bunking together in an L.A. apartment living the dream. This show is full of unexpected plot twists and turns, dirty humor and awkwardness that will make your cheeks hurt from chuckling so much. This unforgettable combination of a law school dropout, a narcissistic fashionista and a competitive jock who can't quite seem to close the yearbook will keep you up until three in the morning laughing your butt off.

2. "Turn: Washington's Spies"

For those of you who hate "stupid humor" (you're weird), I have a great suggestion for you guys too! Now, the show doesn't pick up for about four episodes, so you have to pay close attention. "Turn: Washington's Spies" will you have on the edge of your seat freaking the BLEEP out. A cabbage farmer by the name of Abraham Woodhull becomes a part of the Culper Ring, which spies on the British Headquarters during the Revolutionary War. These young, rebellious men give all of this top secret information to the Continental Army. Every second of each episode plays a key role in a series of complicated events that may or may not spiral out of control. For all the history buffs out there, get ready for a nail biter where not a single character can be trusted.

3. "The League"


Looking for a total bro-show that defines manhood/male stupidity at its finest? This is totally the show for you. "The League"revolves around a group of great friends whose lives consist of fantasy football and fantasizing about women. Now, I have to warn everyone that this show is extremely raunchy and shouldn't be watched if you get offended easily. Ladies, you may hate the male gender stereotype that is portrayed in this show. Guys, you'll totally dig it. Check it out!

4. "Making a Murderer"


Sorry about it, but I've got to reach out to my horror/scary stuff lovers out there in the world. This documentary series circles around Steven Avery, a man convicted of sexual assault and murder who was let go and then eventually arrested again for a separate murder. It's sort of a sick, twisted story at times that will have your brain going what the fu..dge? You may or may not think you should be a part of the F.B.I. after watching this series, so get a grip on reality before you start watching. Get ready for a wild, weird ride as soon as you press play.

5. "Chelsea Does"


I hope there's at least one other person in the world who has scrolled through the TV channels at midnight, landed on E! Network, and watched "Chelsea Lately." Chelsea Handler is known for crass, hysterical humor and saying whatever she wants whenever. However, this show takes a slight turn from normal Chelsea behavior. On "Chelsea Does," she discusses controversial topics, such as racism, marriage and much more. Chelsea often mocks her life (and others) while on the comedian's stage, but she dives really deep into some of life's toughest topics. Don't worry, she still drops hysterical jokes and inappropriate comments, but this time, we get a glimpse into this jokester's mind and what her ideologies really are.

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.
