11 Most Bingeworthy Shows To Start Watching ASAP

You simply cannot get bored if you have a good show to watch. Here are some of my recent favorites that might leave you crying for a day... or two.

1. The Society

Giphy

The Society is a Netflix original that is about high-schoolers who have to form their own society as everyone else in the world has disappeared. This show has just the right amount of high school drama, with a little bit of futuristic ideas. I personally finished this show in two days, and I am devastated the new season has been pushed back due to Corona-virus, but until it's released I guess I can re-watch it for the third time.

2. Euphoria

Giphy

If Zendaya playing the lead role isn't enough for you to turn on your TV and watch Euphoria, then the plot is. This show is PERFECTLY depicted by the title, it will make you feel euphoric in some scenes through the lives of high school kids doing the absolute most. This show deals with drug addiction and follows the complicated life of an addict and those around her who partake in things such as underage drinking, drug use, and sex work.

3. How To Get Away With Murder

Giphy

This is an old show that recently released its sixth and final season, and it is to die for. It had me watching a whole season in one day because I couldn't unglue my eyes from my screen. The show follows the lives of a bold lawyer named Annalise Keating who hires interns, and their lives become extremely complicated as they keep getting involved in more and more crimes. Although it's frowned upon to root for the bad guys, this show might change your perspective.

4. Control Z

Giphy

Control Z has you in for a crazy ride if you love shows about hackers and the revelation of peoples darkest secrets. This show depicts the lives of high school kids based in Mexico City who have their whole lives ruined and they have to figure out who it is.

5. All American

Giphy

This show definitely lived up to the hype that I saw on various social media platforms. Not only is this show based on an actual NFL football player, but it touches on important topics such as police brutality, in a way that all types of people can understand.

6. Tiger King

Giphy

This Netflix original, limited series is a must-watch. There is a community of tiger-lovers that I had no idea existed. This show will not only give you insight to that community, but the bizarre life of the Tiger King himself, and all of the legal issues relating to his story.

7. Little Fires Everywhere

Giphy

A Hulu original starring one of the most iconic actresses of all-time, Reese Witherspoon. Although, in this show, she plays a much more serious role in dealing with her mistakes as a mom and as a person in general. This show touches on topics such as women's rights and discrimination.

8. You

Giphy

This Netflix original is a show that will have you wanting to protect the bad guy at all costs. This series demonstrates the life on an obsessive stalker who has a rare infatuation with a girl and will do anything to get close to her. You will not be able to stop watching this show, so be careful because there are now two seasons.

9. Spinning Out

Giphy

I was desperate for a new show during quarantine and had never heard of Spinning Out, which I'm assuming is because it never got the recognition it deserved and was cancelled before it could get a second season. Nonetheless, the first and last season is worth watching as it follows a young figure skater who suffers from Bipolar disorder inherited by her mom, and shows her trying to battle her mental block and mental health issues to become an Olympic skater.

10. When They See Us

Giphy

This series is relatively short, but if you haven't watched it, you absolutely have to. I'm ashamed to say I had never heard of this true story before I watched the show but I later did more research inspired by the heartbreaking episodes. This series follows the Central Park Five who where wrongfully accused of the rape and murder of a jogger in New York City, which was orchestrated by the police. This show isn't just interesting to watch but it is important in order to become more familiar with a few injustices that have happened in America.

11. Unbelievable

Netflix

This inspiring true story brought me to tears almost every episode. The show deals with a young girl who is fresh out of the foster care system fighting for someone to believe her about the crime she was victim to. One outstanding female investigator does everything in her power to help her, but not without many bumps in the road. This jaw-dropping show will have you glued to the TV with tears in your eyes.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
