As a political junky, it can be hard finding decent political shows. It is even harder to find political shows which aren't totally cringy and/or actually worth binging.

Here are 11 suggestions which cover everything from presidents to international politics:

1. Designated Survivor

Only one living major member of the executive branch left? How can't you be intrigued?

2. Madam Secretary

Three kids and a husband full of drama plus conspiracy theories and government? You know you love it.

3. The Crown

How can't you love the Queen of England? Plus, so much drama and pretty costumes.

4. Victoria


This show features more on point costumes but also the acting is fabulous. Plus, you can't miss the really interesting German accents.

5. Political Animals

Is this show sorta about Hillary Clinton or what? Can you find the similarities?

6. West Wing

It's impossible not to like Jeb Bartlett. Enough said.

7. Party Animals

Who doesn't love a good Matt Smith in his pre-Doctor Who phase?

8. Manhattan

It may not be super historically accurate but it's all about the bomb, which is interesting enough. Don't you think?

9. Veep

The satire is real with this one.

10. Scandal

I bet you can't tell me what is more ominous than "It's handled."

11. Parks and Recreation

If you don't like "Parks and Recreation," especially Ron Swanson, something must be seriously wrong with you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
