We've all done it - accidentally watched an entire season (or series) of a show in a very short amount of time. I don't know about you, but I am always looking for something new to watch. Here are some ideas so you don't get stuck watching "Friends" for the 38th time...
P.S. All of these shows can be found either on Netflix or Hulu for your enjoyment. Happy streaming!
1. The Handmaid's Tale
GiphyBased on a book of the same name, this show is a look into a dystopian society where the handmaids are misused for their ability to bear children. Definitely worth checking out!
2. Jane the Virgin
GiphyThis show is where soap opera meets telenovela - in other words, it's HILARIOUS! It follows Jane, who is still a virgin, but becomes pregnant due to a medical mishap. Gina Rodriguez is phenomenal, so if you haven't seen it, get to watching!
3. One Tree Hill
The Scott brothers are classic #goals. This is an old one, but worth a watch for those who have never seen it!
4. New Girl
With great characters and excellent comedy, New Girl is one of my top picks. Join Jess as she navigates her way through living with three guys and making it as a teacher!
5. Riverdale
Riverdale brings the old Archie comics to life. It's a thriller about the mysterious happenings in the town of Riverdale and the teens who try to solve the mysteries. Check this one out!
6. Stranger Things
If you haven't seen this show yet, where have you been?! In a throwback to the 1980s, something strange (pun intended) happens in the town of Hawkins, Indiana. Follow Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven as they try to find out what happened to Will.
7. Gossip Girl
GiphyThis is another old one, but it never stops being good. The Upper East Side is full of secrets, but Gossip Girl, an anonymous blogger, is ready to reveal them all. Make your guess - who do you think is Gossip Girl?
8. Reign
This is one for all the history buffs. It tells the story of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her political engagement with the prince of France. Getting to see history come to life is interesting to watch, so definitely check it out!
9. Gilmore Girls
Get to know the Gilmores, a mother and daughter duo who can quote way too many movies, drink enough coffee to keep you awake for 2 months straight, and have the most fun. Plus, they just did a revival season, so you don't want to miss that!
10. Imposters
If you like fast-paced dramas, you will love Imposters. When his wife disappears and cons him out of all his money, he tries to track her down and find out what really happened. I highly recommend this one, so go out and watch it!
11. Black-ish
This is a really funny show which deals with a lot of important topics, especially ones involving race. Plus, they just released a spin-off called Grown-ish, which streams on Freeform. Check them both out!
12. This Is Us
This Is Us was the show that completely wrecked America this past year. Watch to see what love, family, grief, and hope look like. With phenomenal casting, I would recommend this show to everyone I know. Go check it out before the new season comes out this fall!
13. Parenthood
GiphyAnother family-centered show, Parenthood has many different storylines woven together to create a wonderful picture of a big family. You will love the Bravermans, there is no doubt about it, so give this one a shot!
14. Scandal
Olivia Pope is a DC fixer, specifically for the President. She and her crew handle all sorts of scandals, all over Washington. I will warn you, though, the show gets kind of dark as it gets farther along, so be prepared. Overall, though, this is a very good show, especially if you like courtroom drama types.
15. The Fosters
Follow Callie, a foster kid who has been in and out of juvie, as she and her brother find home with the Adams-Fosters. This show deals with a lot of important issues, but overall shows that love is what makes a family, not just blood.
