As the school year is moving along, more time is being spent with your lovely roommate. No matter if you and your roommate just met each other, or if you have been besties for years, it can not be denied that serious bonding can happen once you start watching a Netflix show together.
Keep reading to check out the top five best TV shows to binge watch with your roommate.
1. Parenthood
I have to include this one because currently my roommate and I are in love with it. I look forward every day to when the time rolls around where we can put this amazing show on. We dance to the Bob Dylan "Forever Young" theme song every time, and it's great. This show incorporates so many different kinds of characters that you can learn so much from. I highly recommend it, and trust me, you will cry. This show is moving!
2. Vampire Diaries
Do you want a show full of drama? Then this is for you. So many love triangles, so many vampires! What's not to like? Your roommate and you will have to decide which side you're on—Team Damon or Team Stefan. This is some serious decision-making.
3. Gilmore Girls
This witty show will keep you and your roommate laughing non-stop. This show follows Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, mother and daughter, in small-town Connecticut. Both characters will introduce you to realistic twists and turns of life, so you will inevitably learn from this show. In addition, you'll feel like these characters are your actual friends within the first episode.
4. Friday Night Lights
First of all, everybody needs a little bit of Tami Taylor in their lives. Period. Your roommate and you can laugh and cry to each of these episodes in Dillon, Texas. And don't just think this show is only about football, it's actually about a whole lot more than that! It is about growing up, facing adversity, and being a friend to one another. This will always be my favorite TV show (and I don't even watch football!).
5. Scream (MTV Series)
You might be questioning this and think, isn't this a famous 90's movie? Yes! It totally is. But MTV has now enveloped this story into an incredible, modernized TV show. Once you have started this, don't be too surprised if you finish it in one sitting. It is addicting. Yes, it's incredibly cheesy, but that doesn't change the fact that it is so good. And it will keep you on your toes. Although it is scary, you have someone with you to comfort you! The two of you are sure to love this thriller.
(If Five Episodes Wasn'tEnough For You and you have Hulu...) The OC
So if you looked at all of these and you shook your head, or you are one of the lucky one's on this planet who have Hulu, then you really need to watch the OC. It is a blessing from above. Something about it just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. This show is all about four teenagers in Orange County, California. And just a little disclaimer, it is very early 2000's. But I have found that this is good for the soul, so it's not at all a bad thing. You would have to be crazy to not fall in love with this show.
I hope after this list, you and your roommate have a better idea of what Netflix (or Hulu if you're lucky) show you can watch together. You both will stay up way too late to watch just "one more episode," and you'll love every second of it.
