Thanksgiving Break is finally here, and honestly I could not be more excited to lie in my bed, eat popcorn and watch Netflix. Don’t lie to yourself, guys! You know you are all totally looking forward to being a homebody. So, from one Netflixer to another, here are some shows that are worth starting.
"Gossip Girl"
Okay, if you haven’t watched "Gossip Girl" five times by now, you have literally been living under a rock. In GG’s own words, the show is about “the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.” The drama and suspense in each episode makes you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster and it's absolutely insane. Oh, and don’t get me started on the clothes. Each outfit the characters wear makes me look at my own closet and say, “Wtf am I doing with my life?!” If the show had any affect on you like it did on me, you will be comparing every situation in your life to it. If you’re looking for a show to obsess over, without a doubt, this is the one.
"How To Get Away With Murder"
Shonda. Freaking. Rhimes. She never ceases to disappoint with every single show. You have the drama, the murder, the sex. You’re always on the edge of your seat. In a nutshell, you are always going find yourself saying, “Oh, sh*t!” after each episode. If you’re into how conniving the justice system can be, Annalise Keating can show you all her dirty tricks.
" Scandal"
*Camera clicks* If you wear the white hat, "Scandal" is the show for you. It’s a fast-paced political drama about an extremely intelligent and driven women in her work life who falls in love with the most powerful man in the world, the very married President of the United States. The drama and conflict in this show honestly makes you want to have an affair with the President.
" Grey's Anatomy"
"Grey’s" always keeps you on your toes. The show is about a bunch of doctors in Seattle. It may sound a little lame, but honestly, after one episode, you’re hooked for the rest of your life. You’re going to fall in love with each of the characters (and maybe even despise some). And the couples in the show, oh my gosh, don’t even get me started. Long story short, you’re going to need a full box of tissues next to you. The show drives you through every plot twist and turns. With every episode, you start to feel a part of the show and a part of the Seattle Grace family.
"One Tree Hill"
"OTH" is a drama filled show. The story is about two half-brothers and their friends facing life. The romance in the show will make you melt and the anticipation fills your stomach with butterflies. The show also revolves around basketball, so if you’re into sports, this show would be great for you! Plus, there’s Chad Michael Murray. Enough said.
"Jane The Virgin"
"Jane the Virgin" is a fairly new show. It’s about this woman, Jane, who is a virgin (obviously), who is artificially inseminated accidently and the love triangle between her, her ex-fiancé, and her baby’s daddy. The show is set up to be almost like a telenovela, so there are also side stories next to the main plot.
"New Girl"
"New Girl" is one of the funniest shows I’ve watched. The show is about friends living in an apartment in Los Angeles together and their shenanigans. The characters are so relatable. I'm also finding myself being reminded of my friends when I watch the show. Zooey Deschanel’s quirkiness also makes the show. She’s the cutest thing ever!!
"Scream Queens"
So, I just started this show, considering its still on its first season, so this would be a great time to start watching and catch up! The show is about a whole bunch of people associated with the sorority, Kappa Kappa Tau at a college getting killed by a serial killer they call the Red Devil. It’s a little silly, but it’s definitely an entertaining show.
"Vampire Diaries"
If you were a "Twilight" fan, you’d be totally into Vamps. The show is a love story about a mortal girl, Elena, and her love triangle with the Salvatore brothers, who are by the way, very attractive. One of the reasons I watch the show is to just drool over the Salvatores (and trust me, once you see them so will you). The show is full of suspense and mystery with many, many plot twists. My sister got into the show and my first impression was that it was stupid, but as I started peeking behind her shoulder while she was watching, I got hooked. I highly recommend this show. (And you should watch it despite what I say because, hello! Hot boys!)
"American Horror Story"
Every season of "AHS" is about a different, scary storyline. Besides that difference, each is thrilling and suspenseful. And yes, it is freaking terrifying. If scary movies are your ish, then this is 100 percent most likely your ongoing show of scary.
"Friends"
"Friends" has been around for 20 years now and it is still relevant. The situations in the show are so relatable for every young person whether it has to do with jobs, love, or just life in general. Friends is/are forever. But really, though.
I hope that you found a show that piqued your interest from my list! Happy Thanksgiving and happy Netflixing! :-)
