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.
