I, like many other citizens of this world, am a Netflix addict. I will fully admit to this and am not ashamed in the least bit. Last night as I was cuddled on my couch because it felt like -20 degrees outside, I was reminiscing on all of the wonderful shows I had watched over the years with my beloved Netflix. Please, if you haven't watched any of these shows, get on your couch immediately and do so.
Friends/The Office:
If you are looking for a quick watch these shows are good for you. Clocking in at about 20 mins each, these are perfect for right before bed. These will ensure a laugh and you will go to bed with a smile on your face no matter what. As an avid watcher of Friends, I can truly say that they never get old. I have watched all 10 seasons at least eight times through, because even after all this time, I still laugh! Now, I have only watched The Office once through (working on my second time in the near future) and I thought it was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. With so many cringe worthy moments during the show it's bound to make you glad you're sitting at home watching it, rather than experiencing it in real life.
Revenge:
This show is a thriller. You never know what main character Emily Thorne is planning next. While watching this, your full attention is required, and you won't ever want to stop watching. I may have been guilty of watching seven episodes in one sitting accidentally. Keep in mind they're 40 minutes long. Oops. With that being said, it's a series that you get baffled by, because it has so many unusual twists and turns within it. Just go watch I can't say anything else because I will probably ruin something for you.
One Tree Hill/Friday Night Lights:
These two shows just make you feel good. One Tree Hill is based around basketball, and Friday Night Lights around football. Both are family shows that have a lot of love, family, and drama. I can't lie when I say that the main characters in both shows aren't hard on the eyes, so that definitely makes watching them more appealing. I'm not going to ruin anything by saying this, but both have a happy ending if you have your doubts while watching them.
American Horror Story:
I was skeptical about starting this show, as I'm not usually into this type of genre. But once I started, it was addicting. If you haven't heard much about this show, they have the same actors in all the seasons, but different story lines each season. They are very different then a lot of things on TV right now. It can be a little graphic at times, but that only enhances the show. I am watching the fourth season right now, and can say I haven't been disappointed so far. I will say, you have to be in a certain mood to watch these, and pay very close attention to what is happening. This show has a rumor for being scary, but it's more freaky then anything.
Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice
Everyone and their mom has heard of Grey's Anatomy by this point. A bunch of doctors meet through their residency at Seattle Grace Hospital, and become friends/boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives throughout the show. It's constant drama between all the main characters, and just a spoiler, a lot of people die. Not as many people have heard of Private Practice, which is a spin off of Grey's Anatomy with a main character from Grey's being the lead (Addison Montgomery) with a whole new cast behind her. I love both of these shows equally, so don't ask me to choose which one is my favorite, I can't do it.
So, with these below zero nights becoming more and more frequent, cuddle up on your couch, grab some popcorn and a blanket, and settle in for a couple hours to start one of these shows.
