As a semi-professional procrastinator, I clock a lot of hours on Netflix. I would even venture to consider myself a Netflix connoisseur. For anyone looking for a new show to get into while avoiding responsibilities, I present to you: 12 binge-worthy shows available on Netflix!
1. Gossip Girl
So, I may or may not have watched the whole series three times over... There's just something about the antics of the Upper East Siders that keeps me coming back for more. Could be the drama, the outfits, the society, or it could just be Chuck Bass.
2. Hell on Wheels
"Hell on Wheels" is great. It follows Cullen Bohannon, a former farmer and confederate soldier as he aims to help drive the railroad out west. Of course, it's not as easy as it sounds... The wild west was not always a forgiving place.
3. Orange is the New Black
So much shady business, drama, and illegal activity in one show. One of my favorite parts of this series is the individual character development they focus on from time to time. It's cool to see how the inmates got there.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
If you're in the mood for a throwback from the late '90s/early 2000s, this is a good show for you. The effects are laughable at times, but it's an overall enjoyable show. It was pretty edgy in its day, but a lot of messages are still relevant.
5. Peaky Blinders
This one is centered around the Shelby family who ran a gang in early 1900s England. It's chock full of crime, blackmail, and shenanigans. The family leader, Tommy, is a total crime boss.
6. American Horror Story
The anthology aspect definitely keeps things interesting, especially since (**minor spoiler**) all the seasons occur in the same timeline. Talk about a seriously killer cast, Jessica Lange will always be da queen.
7. Bones
Bones and Booth are the ultimate dynamic duo. She's the brains; he's the brawn. It get's a little gory at times, but there is so much humor and so many antics.
8. Sons of Anarchy
So, this is definitely not for young, impressionable people or the faint of heart. It gets really dark, really gory, really sexual, and at some points, really uncomfortable. But don't let that steer you away, it's so intense that you get hooked almost immediately.
9. The 100
"The 100" is a really good post-apocalyptic future fic. There's nothing like the human race rediscovering Earth after a past nuclear disaster. Spoiler: They're not alone...
10. Gilmore Girls
"Gilmore Girls" is easily in the running for my favorite show. Everybody wants a mom as cool as like Lorelai Gilmore to be their partner for endless crazy antics. Plus, it's fun to argue and debate who the best and worst men were in the Gilmore women's lives.
11. Parks and Recreation
There are two kinds of people in the world: the Leslie Knopes and the April Ludgates. Also, Ron Swanson is the GOAT.
12. Criminal Minds
This is probably my favorite investigative show. I just like how deep they dig into behavior analysis to find the perp. It's so easy to get caught up in trying to figure out who the criminal is and how the FBI is going to catch them.
