In my experience, everyone loves Netflix. I think that it has taken television out of the equation which is kind of weird, but I still love it. With fall break coming up, what else can we do other than laying in bed binge watching Netflix?
In my opinion, it is a daunting task to binge watch shows like Friends with having 10 seasons. Unless you are a hardcore fan and you're extremely invested, you won't finish it. So, here are a few that are completely do-able during your mini hibernation that is fall break.
1. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
The slightly neurotic main character of this show is so relatable. Her life is uprooted when New York City proves to be too much for her to handle and she goes to California. There are only 2 seasons on Netflix, so you can totally finish it.
2. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
This is legitimately the best show on Netflix in my opinion. Ellie Kemper stars as Kimmy and Tina Fey is the creator of the show. Kimmy has been kept underground by a cult leader and has finally made her way into the real world again and this is her story. This is comedic genius! I finished both seasons in 3 days and I am not ashamed to say it was addicting and kept me laughing the entire time
3. Master of None
This is also comedic genius by Aziz Ansari. If you are a fan of his stand-up, like I am, then you'll enjoy this. There is only one season on Netflix so far, so you can definitely finish them all on your break. It deals with many social issues like race and authenticity to who you are in a fun light hearted way, but it kind of makes you reevaluate the way that you think which is cool.
4. Arrested Development
This ran from 2003-2006 and then was picked up by Netflix in 2013 for a fifth season. It is just a show about this family and all of them have some sort of quirky, strange quality about them except the one member Michael who is the glue. It kind of reminds you that almost every family is weird and hopefully it'll make you feel better about your own strange family. There are 5 seasons but you can totally make it through if you push yourself.
5. Friends
You won't finish this, but I think we can all use a little bit of Monica, Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Chandler and Joey on our break from reality. If you're spending your break studying for midterms, they'll be there for you.
Hopefully, these hilarious sitcoms will keep you in good spirits whether you are painfully studying or relaxing in your bed.
