Summer is basically a synonym for three months of freedom to binge-watch whatever your heart desires on Netflix. During the school year, hardly any of us have the quality, uninterrupted time needed to truly enjoy a Netflix marathon; there are always little, annoying things getting in the way. This includes homework and trying not to fail out of college.

But now that we’ve all finally gotten our long-awaited opportunity to watch entire seasons in a matter of days, here’s a list of some TV shows on Netflix based on your favorite genre that’ll keep you entertained and help you ignore your real responsibilities this summer:

1. Drama: "Grey’s Anatomy"

Seriously, even if you’re a guy, this show is addicting. Set in a hospital in Seattle, "Grey’s" follows several main characters—all doctors—as they live and work together. Each episode has an intense storyline filled with relationship scandals and medical drama that’ll make it impossible not to watch 10 episodes in a row. It’ll keep you busy for at least a couple weeks with its 12 seasons, and probably make you wish you were pre-med.

2. Comedy: "Friends"

This show is too classic to not watch in its entirety at some point during your lifetime. You’ll fall in love with each of the main characters and their unique and hilarious personalities, and you'll wish you could enjoy all your free time in their favorite NYC coffee shop, Central Perk, or Rachel and Monica's adorable apartment. It’s funny, dangerously easy to marathon, and it is guaranteed to make you spend hours trying to figure out which character you and your own group of friends each relate to best.

3. Action: "The Walking Dead"

Going along with the recent obsession with global pandemics and apocalypses, "The Walking Dead" is perfect for any lover of zombie outbreaks. It follows a band of survivors after a zombie epidemic as they struggle to fight for their lives and attempt to restore order and humanity in what’s left of the world. You won’t even realize how much you’ve watched of this until you’re on season five and realize you only have a couple of episodes left.

4. Documentary: "Making a Murderer"

There are only 10 episodes of "Making a Murderer," but you’ll want to binge it in a day. This documentary centers on Steven Avery, a man who was held in prison for almost 20 years for sexual assault and attempted murder before being sent back to prison just a few years later for the murder of a local photographer. What makes it special? It took over 10 years to film, and has resulted in petitions of hundreds of thousands of signatures demanding Avery’s pardon.

5. Crime: "Law & Order"

If there’s any show that comes to people’s minds when asked about a police drama, this is it. It has 20 seasons alone in just its original show, not including all the spinoffs like "Special Victims Unit," "Criminal Intent," or "Trial by Jury." Each show follows part of the New York City police department in their procedural and legal dramas as they conduct investigations and fight various crimes. There are literally hundreds of episodes for you to spend your summer watching.

6. Mystery: "Psych"

"Psych" is both a mystery and a comedy series, and fans of either genre will love this show. The main character, Shawn, pretends to be psychic in order to help the Santa Barbara Police Department solve crimes with the help of his hilarious sidekick and childhood friend, Gus. You’ve got over a hundred episodes of comedy, drama, and romance to keep you entertained.

7. Animated: "South Park"

This one is, of course, for you casual Netflixers who just want to be able to watch any episode of any season of a show whenever they want. This show lacks the serious commitments of who’s cheating on who and who is plotting to kill their neighbor. "South Park" looks like a children’s show from first glance, but it is actually an adult sitcom full of crude jokes and satires of modern topics. It’s been running since 1997, so it’s almost impossible (depending on how hardcore you binge-watch shows) to finish this in one summer.

Clearly, you have better things to be doing, like marathoning these shows on Netflix, this summer than something productive like looking for a job or taking classes. Netflix’s sole purpose is to help us decompress from a stressful semester, and I see no better way to spend sunny, warm days than curled up in bed inside with a pint of ice cream and 10 seasons of "Friends" ahead of me.
