I have watched MANY shows on Netflix. Some were must-watches. Some were things that just looked interesting, here's my top 10 shows I watched on Netflix and why I love them/how I managed to Binge Watch them in a matter of weeks.
1. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Growing up, my mom always had it on, but I never watched until I had access to all 10 seasons. I feel in love with the show and marveled at the fact that there aren't any like it now. Some can try, but you won't get the twisted relationships of Ross, Rachel (who weren't on a break), Chandler, Monica (goals), Pheobe (my spirit animal), and Joey (the love of my life).
2. Malcolm in the Middle
A show I never watched much when it was airing, seemed to take over my life. I hope to marry a Hal and have as much fun while getting in that much trouble, without consequences other than going to my room. Frankie Muniz is also the cutest thing ever, so there's that.
3. How I Met Your Mother
When I had mono going into freshman year of college, I relied on Barney, Marshall, and Ted gave me a pick-me-up. I do make the disclaimer that I HATE Robin and Ted, and LOVE Robin and Barney. Although the playbook is a little disturbing, NPH is allowed because he's so damn charming. My heart goes out to Ted, yellow umbrellas still give me the feels, and Ukeleles make my heart melt.
4. Parks & Recreation
Leslie Knope. Enough said. Chris Pratt is literally the ideal man, I strive to be April and handle all her angst while still dating a hot karate teacher. Ron Swanson (although reminding me of my dad) is seriously one of the funniest characters I have ever seen. You also got some (annoying), but hot Rob Lowe in there, and Ann Perkins pisses me off, but her relationship with Leslie is one to never forget. Also, bye bye Lil Sebastian! I will forever want to own a little horse.
5. Orange Is The New Black
I don't even know where to begin. I will suggest this show to literally everyone (except my mom). To say the least, I watched the last season in a matter of days, and it blew my mind. The fact that it's based off a true story (I'm not sure how true that is now), is just wild. 10/10 would recommend. I can't really say much else without giving spoilers so just watch it.
6. Freaks and Geeks
Not a long watch, but if young James Franco doesn't pull you in, I'm not sure what will. Also, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel.
7. Once Upon A Time
taking every fairytale I looked up to as a kid and messing them up in the best way possible. Every time a new season is available on Netflix I somehow finish it in a matter of 48 hours. Although it ruined my perception of Peter Pan, it certainly fixed my hate for Captain Hook who is literally the most attractive pirate I've ever seen. The costumes also slay my life and make me want to try and do more costumes for Film and TV because they're the bomb.
8. Wentworth
As per request from my cousin, I started watching this show. It's not a very known show as one would imagine because people probably think it's a cop-out version of Orange is the New Black. I hesitate to say this, but it might honestly be better. It takes place in an Australian Prison, and those bitches get creative. I started a couple days ago and am already on the second season (no shame). The accents are a plus, and the difference between prison in America and in Australia are really cool.
9. Skins
To those who have watched all the generations, I applaud you. I've been there. I watched the series a couple of years ago, and I went to England expecting it to be like that. Unshockingly, it wasn't. But I will forever be in love with Cook and I probably cried every other episode for one reason or another. It's been a while, but I would highly suggest it.
10. Fuller House
Lastly, I'd like to give a shoutout to a show that gets a lot of crap. Full House made up so many people's childhoods, I remember watching it every single morning while I was getting ready for school. While this obviously isn't the same thing, watching almost an entire cast coming back together and making another show (with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley), it's a really great sequel. It might not have the best acting (but did Full House?), but it does have Uncle Jesse, and that should make up for something.
Comment some of your favorite shows I should check out! Also, feel free to take any of my recommendations–you won't regret it.
