The 5 Best Shows To Binge Watch On Netflix
tookapic

At this point in my life, I've watched everything there is to watch on Netflix. Everything from Netflix Originals to Foreign Films. Some shows are worth it, but others are just there to pass the time. In order to weed out the worthless shows that distract from Netflix greats, here are my favorite, binge-worthy shows on Netflix.

1. "Big Mouth"

I know this show only has one series, so it is not really a binge, but it is definitely a refreshing humor - humor that can only be found in shows like "Family Guy" and "American Dad". If you're a fan of raunchy humor like me, then you will love this series from the first episode.

2. "Grey's Anatomy"

Everyone already knows the hype that surrounds "Grey's Anatomy", but I was late to the show. I only started watching "Grey's Anatomy" two years ago, but I quickly binge-watched the 13 seasons that were on Netflix. The medical themes, as well as the dynamic personalities and friendships quickly made the series one of my favorites, and it it's still going on! If you haven't yet, I definitely suggest you join the Grey's party.

3. "Dexter"

I just recently started watching "Dexter" two days ago, and I'm already on season 3. Basically, I watched one season a day. The psychological thriller cop drama-comedy (there are so many adjectives to describe this show) hooked me. As a psych major, I love getting an inside look in the mind of a psychopath, a serial killer nonetheless. Watching Dexter grow and discover who he is, and who he wants to be. This show is truly a masterpiece. Plus, it's based on a book series I'm definitely going to have to read now.

4. "Parenthood"

Similar to Grey's, the family dynamics of this show hooked me. The series is reminiscent of "Gilmore Girls", and I'm sure you'll recall a familiar face from the series. I just enjoyed watching the lives of the Braverman clan change and shift as they face the obstacles life has to bring.

5. "Shameless"

Again, I couldn't help but fall in love with all the characters on "Shameless". I find the series to be very honest, and comedic. As the series unfolds, you really start to understand why each character is the way they are, and it's very saddening, but watching them overcome their pitfalls, and do there best to be better than their parents. The Gallaghers are another one of my truly shameless addictions.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
