Series To Get You Out Of Your Netflix Rut

"Are you still watching?" HECK YEAH.

Series To Get You Out Of Your Netflix Rut
Lovemarks

Netflix: the universally known word that means "Let me just binge watch away all of my problems and reject all of my responsibilities." That is essentially Netflix and there comes a time in every Netflix-Watchers career where they hit a block, they finish a monumental series and have nowhere to turn. Well, this should help you my dears. I have created a list of the best possible series to watch on Netflix and how they will get you out of your rut.

1. Grey's Anatomy

13 seasons. 13 seasons (and still counting) of pure greatness. The characters, their development, the emotional attachments, the plot twists. Let me just say that Shonda Rhimes is an epic genius that is extremely keen on knowing how to rip out one's heart. But still, honestly, this series will provide you with an amazing source of entertainment that frankly, even the most hardcore of binge watchers cant finish that in a week. You may hear rumors about all of the emotional turmoil and all of the ~SPOILER ALERT~ deaths of monumental characters, but I'm telling you, this is the best series to ever happen to me.

2. Sons of Anarchy

Okay, I'm honestly in the middle of this one but I need to talk about it and my love for Jax Teller (sidetone: I found a guy at my school who looks EXACTLY like the main character and I swear the swooning I went through was ~killer~). But I feel like this series gets over looked a lot and gets a bad reputation just because it's about a biker gang and is somewhat aggressive, but it's honestly amazing. The depth to the characters and the situations they get in are captivating and quite entertaining. And the features of cute guys in leather jackets are of NO shortage (my personal favs are Jax and Ope but that's all you get to know). If you're looking for action, some romance, humor, and more action packed into a series this is the one for you.

3. American Horror Story

Again in the middle of this one but frankly, I'm so easily scared of things that I was genuinely surprised when I took an interest in this series. But for those into thrillers, gore, suspense, mystery, romance and humor this is the show for you. Now a fore warning, every season the theme and characters change (the actors stay the same) so if that will mess with your head DON'T watch this. But in all honesty, the plot and character development within this show are what makes it such an amazing show. The things that they come up with are just genius.

4. Blue Mountain State

Where are all my football boys at? Every single football player has heard of or seen this series for themselves. And while it is filled with crude humor, lots of alcohol, sex and drugs, it is the epitome of college football players. Like we've all known a Thad Castle in our lives and just the fact that the humor here is so basic is what makes it so great. If you're not into crude humor then this isn't the best bet for you, but yet again, no shortage of cute guys just in football uniforms for this one. And another plus about this one is that the theme song is a total banger just within itself.

So there they are, my suggestions to remove yourself from your Netflix rut. They are all great picks and I'm sure there's more out there, I just haven't reached a rut yet. Binge on my fellow binge watchers, binge on.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
