Finding something to watch is the hardest thing about Netflix. There are so many options...like thousands of options. It can take hours to pick what to watch if you don't already have something in mind. This list is here to guide you toward some Netflix original shows so you don't have to waste your valuable binging time searching for the right thing to watch.

1. The End of the F---ing World

The End of the F***ing World/Instagram

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 8

This clever dark dramedy follows two teens who set out to ~sort of~ find themselves. One is rebelling against her complacent life and the other thinks he is a psychopath (no big deal). Hilarity and chaos ensue as their adventure, that was adapted from a graphic novel, plays out through your favorite streaming service. The ending will leave you shocked and the awesome soundtrack will have you tapping your feet through all 8 episodes.

2. Godless

Netflix

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 7

The West is seen in a new light in this limited series in which a ruthless gang leader is searching for a former member. The man he's looking for, though, is hiding out in a town populated solely by women. The women are more capable than outsiders give them credit for and can protect their territory impeccably. The show screams girl power, especially for a historical series, and you'll be rooting for the protagonists all the way to their classic Western shootout.

3. Longmire

Netflix

Seasons: 6, Episodes: 63

As the longest series on this list, Longmire, will give you plenty of days and nights of watching. It's also a Western, but unlike Godless it is contemporary. The show was picked up by Netflix in 2014 after being cancelled by A&E, so technically it's a Netflix semi-original series, but that's enough to get it on this list. Set in rural Wyoming, the show follows Sheriff Walt Longmire and his associates as they deal with everything from cults to kidnappings.

4. Safe

Netflix

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 8

Safe is a crime drama about a widowed surgeons search for his missing daughter. As he delves deeper into his investigation he learns dark secrets about his wife and those close to him. The more the search intensifies, the more twisted the story becomes; you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time.

5. Evil Genius

Evil Genius Netflix/Instagram

Seasons: 1, Episodes: 4

If you like Netflix's 2015 original docuseries Making a Murderer then this is the show for you. It covers the 2003 bank robbery in , Eerie, Pennsylvania that resulted in the bombing death of Brian Wells. The series examines all the main players and suspects involved. While the case is officially unsolved, the series piles evidence against one major suspect.

6. Jessica Jones

Marvel's Jessica Jones/Instagram

Seasons: 2, Episodes: 26

The great thing about all the Netflix Marvel shows is how gritty they are, they show a completely different side of heros. Jessica Jones is especially interesting because the lead is a woman; we don't often see female superhero leads (though Jessica doesn't consider herself a hero) and we certainly don't often see them with bad attitudes, foul mouths and "I'm not meant to save people" outlooks. She is more of a real person, relatable in her ways (and sometimes her struggles). Even though she's not the average, world-saving superhero, you'll want her to win every time.

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.
