5 Underrated TV Shows

I like to believe that I'm somewhat of a TV connoisseur -- which is to say I watch a lot of TV, some of which is good. Here are my favorite shows that everyone should add to their list!

1. Firefly


There is no "middle ground" when it comes to Firefly – you're either a die-hard fan, or you've never seen it. The plot follows a band of merry misfits throughout space as they avoid a tyrannical government and harbor fugitives. Though short lived, Firefly – and it's ending movie Serenity – is filled with humor, adventure, and mystery(not to mention horror; beware the Reapers man).

2. The Librarians

If I've talked about The Librarians once, I've talked about it a hundred times. It's one of my absolute all time faves, which makes it an ultra shame that no one knows about it! The Librarian movies introduce us to The Library, a mystical library nestled underneath the Metropolitan that aims to keep magic out of the wrong hands. In The Librarians TV show, we're brought back, 10 years later, at the culmination of some serious bad magic. Together, Flynn Carsen -- the current Librarian -- and his merry crew must work to not only save and protect the Library, but the world. Filled with action, humor, and only a little bit of romance, The Librarians will find a way into your heart.

3. Sense8


One of the most influential Netflix series of our time, Sense8 is about eight strangers from around the world who become psychically linked. Each character is diverse, interesting, and original. Sense8 deals with monsters that relate to all: an unaccepting world, disapproving parents, water crises, and relationship troubles. In a lot of ways, this show "bares all" – it isn't afraid to show you what you need to see. Definitely a must watch.

4. Destination Truth/Expedition Unknown

If you're a fan of ghosts, monsters, and things that go bump in the night, you have got to check out Josh Gates. In each episode, Josh and his team travel the world to uncover new mysteries and explore new places. His team even uncovered on of the greatest Yeti footprints to date! Whether or not you believe, this show will entertain and delight all audiences.

5. Haven


I'll be the first to admit that I haven't yet finished this show. However, it's still as intriguing as the day I left it. Haven follows Audrey Parker as she works to help the people of Haven, Maine, who are plagued with "troubles." Along the way, she discovers a disturbing plot that involves her and the people she loves. Equally creepy and touching, Haven has something for everyone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
