Depending on what you are looking for, start with one of these shows!
1. "Parks and Recreation"

Comedies are one of the best genres, and this sitcom is definitely a chart-topper. It has a stellar cast consisting of Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Rob Lowe, Adam Scott, Retta, Aziz Ansar, Chris Pratt and Aubrey Plaza. Set in the little town of Pawnee, Indiana, "first in friendship, fourth in obesity," every episode will have you laughing until your stomach aches!
2. "Friends"

Originally filmed during the 90s, this show has become one of the most popular in all of TV history. It is one of the most streamed shows on Netflix to this day. It has a cast of people including Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Courtney Cox, Matthew LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow. If you do end up watching Friends, you'll fall in love with places, such as Central Perk, and the friendships between the characters. This TV show truly does not age.
3. "Grey's Anatomy"
Genre: Drama
This drama is overwhelmingly popular, and it's easy to see why after binge watching all 12 seasons. The cast is extremely dynamic and changes every semester with a crop of new interns coming in. The show will take you on ups and downs and twists and turns to demonstrate the adventure of a lifetime. It's filled with scandalous relationships and great story lines and is truly a black hole that will take over your life.
4. "Criminal Minds"
Genre: Drama
If you're looking for a crime show, look no further. "Criminal Minds" is one of the most enthralling, scary and emotional shows I have ever watched. Each storyline will have different dark and twisty moments. Though it can be terrifying, the cast's relationship with each other is the savior. Actors Matthew Gray Gubler, Shemar Moore, Kristen Vangsness, Thomas Gibson, A.J. Cook and Joe Mantegna have amazing chemistry that completes the show and makes it special.
5. "Gilmore Girls"
Genre: Comedy and drama
This is a great show to watch, especially considering Netflix is doing a reboot this year! The cast includes Lauren Graham, Scott Patterson, Alexis Bledel and Melissa McCarthy. This show is an emotional rollercoaster with hysterical situations sandwiched between the hard times. The actors play a variety of characters you'll fall in love with as they explore their home in Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
