The Top 10 Netflix Originals TV Shows
DePaulia

When Netflix was incorporated in the late 90's, no one, including the company themselves, knew they would be creating their own content for living room audiences 20 years later. Currently, Netflix has over 300 different "Netflix Originals", but that number is not just television shows. The big 300 includes comedy specials, documentaries, and even few feature films. However, Netflix is best in the television market, so this article will strictly be looking at the episodical content. The following list will have a couple of documentaries, but they are not feature length docs, they are meant for episodes. I have not seen a few of the following shows, but I am basing the list of their score on the Internet Movie Database (the best film and tv rating system). Also, some of the following shows are only meant for mature audiences, therefore keep in mind if you want to check these out. However, I do guarantee most audiences will enjoy these shows. House of Cards (9.0). Stranger Things (9.0). 13 Reasons Why (9.0).

The Marvel Series - 7.9 (out of 10)


For any real fan of the Marvel Comic Universe will recognize the above poster is for the new "Defenders" show coming out later this year, however, its a perfect example of showing all the Marvel Netflix characters together. Personally, "Daredevil" is my favorite, and it's the highest rated out of all 4 shows. Together, all the shows average for a score of 7.9. Compared to the rest of the list, it's not good, although, I'm a nerd and a sucker for anything Marvel, so I hope you check these out.

"The Fall" - 8.2

Gillian Anderson is back to playing an agent, and I love it. Sadly, I have not seen this show, yet, but it is on my watchlist. The story follows an agent chasing a serial killer through Belfast as their lives intertwine. Originally broadcasted on BBC, the series was dropped by the big name British television company after 2 seasons. BUT, Netflix being the Flix love the show and produced a third season.

"The Crown" - 8.8

Another show I have never seen since I'm not one for royalty, nonetheless, one of my close friends said this show was great. The show centers on the dynasty of Queen Elizabeth II in her early years of reigning. A simple Netflix show based off of a historical drama that makes a compelling story.

"Chef's Table" - 8.8

My brother has been asking me to watch this show for months. This is the documentary I was speaking about earlier. The series features multiple chefs around the world in their natural habitat cooking foreign dishes. Each episode is a new adventure.

"Narcos" - 8.9

Pablo Escobar, the most notorious drug trafficker in the history of Columbia, maybe even the world. A DEA agent is on the hunt for Escobar and his crew. Action, drama, and a little bit of a thriller, "Narcos" will not disappoint. A fictional, but historical look into the hunt for a drug kingpin.

"Black Mirror" - 8.9

"Black Mirror" is one of the craziest shows I have ever witnessed. An anthology series where each episode brings a new short story to the table. The seasons are actually called series, and they take a deep look into what the future world holds regarding the wages of technology.

"Master of None" - 8.9

Aziz Ansari created a comedic masterpiece regarding a single man's life in New York City. As a single 20-year-old, I relate to a lot of aspects about this show. As the poster from above claims, Season 2 premieres at the end of Finals. Just in time to get into the summer mood.

"13 Reasons Why" - 9.0

"13 Reasons Why" just came out on Netflix, and people are loving it. I have not seen this show, nor will I watch it. However, I have been told its good. The story follows a high school student trying to unravel the mystery in which another student decided to take her own life. Other comments I have heard about this show is that the are a lot of remarks about suicide, so if it's an emotional subject to some, you have been warned.

"House of Cards" - 9.0

"House of Cards" is one of those shows that people always tell me I have to watch, and yet, I have not watched an episode. This is another show that has a season coming out soon, season 4 in fact. A political figure gets crossed for a higher position and decides to bring the whole system down on the people who did him wrong.

"Stranger Things" - 9.0

Last but not least, "Stranger Things". The hit summer phenomenon that people freaked out over. I personally enjoyed the show, very much. A thriller that is set on a town where secret government things are happening in the woods. All of a sudden, a kid goes missing and the town's citizens are brought to their knees.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
