For those of you who would rather stay inside this summer and watch TV, you're probably starting to run out of things to watch. As an extreme Netflix enthusiast, I completely understand how it feels to finish a series and see your reflection staring back at you or seeing that, "Are you still watching?" message that pops up on the screen after 8 hours. If what I just said doesn't describe you, then you can still benefit from this list to find something new. Some of these are oldies but goodies and are 10 great shows to binge watch on Netflix.
1. Orange Is The New Black
Based on the book written by Piper Kerman, this Netflix original follows the story of Piper Chapman as she's sentenced to spend time in a women's prison in Connecticut. Chapman makes unexpected friendships with some of the women there and adjusts to life behind bars.
2. Master of None
Aziz Ansari, most notably known from "Parks and Recreation", stars in this comedy as Dev Shah as he struggles with his identity. The series is loosely based on some of Ansari's real life experiences.
3. Madam Secretary
Former CIA analyst, Elizabeth McCord becomes the new Secretary of State after the death of her predecessor. McCord finds time to negotiate international and national issues while also being a wife and a mother to 3 smart kids. Who said you can't do it all?
4. Black Mirror
Okay, this show is kind of intense, but in a good way. It satirizes modern world subjects and has a new set of characters and storyline in each episode. It gives off a "Twilight Zone" vibe. If you're into dark drama, this show is for you.
5. Sense8
When 8 strangers around the world experience the same vision, they all come together to find the meaning behind it. As their search for answers continues, an organization intent on killing them hunts them down. Curiosity sure kills, huh?
6. Criminal Minds
A team of FBI profilers works together with their individual skills to analyze the nation's worst criminal minds and anticipate a killers' movements before they strike.
7. One Tree Hill
Set in Tree Hill, North Carolina, half-brothers Nathan and Lucas struggle with becoming basketball teammates. The show ended in 2012, but it still has my heart. BTW, Team Nathan all the way.
8. Shameless
If you have a funny and somewhat crude sense of humor, this show is perfect for you. Follow the crazy antics of the Gallagher family, as Frank (the father) spends most of his time at bars and Fiona (the eldest child) tries to raise the rest of her 5 siblings.
9. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
After 15 years of being in a cult, Kimmy Schmidt decides to take back her life and live in New York. Kimmy is played by Ellie Kemper, who starred in The Office as the receptionist Erin Hannon.
10. Bob's Burgers
This one isn't on Netflix, however it is on Hulu. Bob's Burgers is so hilarious and will have you laughing nonstop, or you might think it's totally dumb- there's really no in between with a show like this.
Happy watching, folks!
