If you’re like me, Friday night is Netflix night at my apartment. Yet as exciting of a prospect as snuggling up in my favorite blanket and PJs with a bowl of steaming popcorn in my lap is, the hardest part of any decent ‘flix session is finding the proper show to watch. There are dramas, TV series, horror movies, and even some pretty good cartoons, enough to ensure that you never have to struggle to find the perfect show for your Friday night in. To give you a boost, here are four of the shows I keep in my list at all times, just to keep things interesting.

1. The Shannara Chronicles

This show has it all — gorgeous costumes, beautiful scenery and a theme song that really sells the series. Be immersed in this Lord of the Rings-esque universe, full of magic and quests and some pretty witty one-liners. And the cast — Austin Butler, Manu Bennet, Poppy Drayton — is pretty fantastic, though John Rhys-Davies as an elfin king is a bit strange from the point of view of a Gimli lover, but it works really, really well! If you’re looking for a somewhat-cheesy, engrossing viewing, try The Shannara Chronicles.

2. The Final Girl

“A real winner, this one,” I say somewhat sarcastically of this… thriller film? I… am not quite sure what this is supposed to be? With little to no backstory and an indiscernible setting, The Final Girl is a cheap attempt at a horror film, though in the way of comedy and entertainment, it really sells. And I mean, the cast is really stunning — Abigail Breslin, Wes Bentley, and Alexander Ludwig — but you can tell the actors don’t really know who their characters are any more than the audience does (seriously, what is up with Breslin and Bentley’s relationship?). The plot is fairly gripping, though it comes off as an underdone form of The Hunger Games. I’m probably not selling anyone on this idea, but hey, if you love bad horror movies and half-baked dialogue, join me in appreciating this marvel of a movie.

3. Hush

Okay, but let’s talk about decent thrillers now. This is coming from a person who really doesn’t find scary films all that entertaining: Hush kept me intrigued the entire time. Sure, the plot is a peppered with holes — why is a deaf author living in the middle of the woods by herself and who exactly is this unnamed stalker? — but if you ignore the lack of backstory, the concept is fascinating. Personally, I loved everything about Maddie, the main character — how she could fight despite her lack of hearing, how her skills as a writer helped her through the night. The movie uprooted you from your living room and threw you in the middle of a different person’s life and you sort of had to mentally pick your way through the plot. Not to mention A+ cinematography. Very well done.

4. Voltron: Legendary Defender

A TV drama and two thrillers later, we arrive at Voltron: Legendary Defender, personally

my favorite of the bunch. If you are a lover of anime or even animation of any kind, if you love quirky misfits who form a family of their own, if you love giant lion robots fighting in space, then gosh golly is this the show for you. Sure, it’s PG comedy and the sequence of events progress faster than you’d expect, but the characters are lovable and funny, literally none of the characters have time for sexism, you'll finally understand the references in Deadpool, and, hey, did I mention the giant lion robots fighting in space? What’s not to love?
