It was hard to narrow it down to just five.

The 5 Best Shows on Netflix Right Now
Cord Cutters News


I typically like to think of myself as a movie/television person. I love wasting my nights away watching movies and T.V. shows, it's just what I enjoy. So Netflix has been my savior on countless occasions when I just want to lay around and watch a good show (the movies on Netflix kind of suck, tbh). I have finished an embarrassing amount of television series on Netflix, but here are my top five favorites:

5. Orange is the New Black

I was unsure about this show at first because of all the controversy it contains, but once I got past that, I really started to enjoy it. It has enough mixture of comedy and suspense that makes it so easy to binge-watch an entire season in one day. However, I don't think I have ever disliked a main character as much as I dislike Piper. Thankfully there are better characters on the show to make up for that.

4. Greek

I just want to start out by saying this show was so underrated! I absolutely loved the fact that the makers didn't portray Greek life in a bad light like most movies and shows do. I also really enjoyed how relatable it was. This is the one show I can say that I was genuinely sad when it ended.

3. Gossip Girl

This was the first series I watched on Netflix and I fell in love with it from the start. I have always been a fan of Blake Lively, and this show just made me even more obsessed with her. I love the idea of New York City and "Manhattan's elite." Chuck and Blair's relationship is every girl's dream, and Blair and Serena are serious friendship goals. After I finished watching the series, I went back and watched it again, that's how much I loved the show.

2. Grey's Anatomy

This show has made me cry more times than I would ever like to admit. I had never grown emotionally attached to fictional characters until I started watching Grey's Anatomy. Shonda Rhimes inevitably kills off everyone I love though. In the beginning it was actually very difficult to get into, but once I made myself watch the first few episodes, I was hooked.

1. One Tree Hill

As cheesy as it sounds, this show truly made me see things differently. There are so many lessons to be learned from the characters in One Tree Hill, and so many situations to relate to. It is also super funny and relatable. Just like Grey's Anatomy though, it was tough to get into at first. But once it got good, I was hooked. It is by far my favorite show I have ever watched.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
