No matter where you watch your TV shows, (Netflix, HBO, or even just on regular networks) you HAVE to start these ones. They're dramatic, funny, romantic, action-packed, and will take you out of your own reality for a bit.

1. Shameless

This Showtime original is the most talked about show like, ever. Not only does it hit home on issues of everyday peoples actual realities, the satire is hysterical. You fall in love with each character in a different way, or you may end up actually carrying a type of hate around-even though you don't actually know them nor do they exists. It's one show you won't regret starting and won't feel bad about binge watching it either.

2. One Tree Hill

Once you start, you can't stop. OTH is such a classic, me and most people I know have seen every episode at least twice. Most situations throughout the show are so relatable, you'll think you're living in Tree Hill, North Carolina every now and then. Not to mention getting to fall in love with Lucas and Nathan Scott, played by Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty, is awesome!

3. Gossip Girl

The social elites of the Upper-West Side will have you wishing you had a gala event to attend every evening. Although not the most realistic show, it's by far the most interesting. What scheme or revenge will Gossip Girl pull next? A better question: Who is Gossip Girl? The question will never leave your mind but it's worth it after seeing all the drama it puts this fabulous cast through.

4. Scandal

After meeting Olivia Pope, you'll be wanting to be one of her very own gladiators. With everything going on in politics these days, Scandal is the perfect show to get caught up in. "Is that really how things operate?" is probably one of the many questions that will occur to you as you see just how Ms. Pope does her magic. Who knows, maybe the show will inspire you to get into politics, just to see for yourself. Either way, the scandal (wink wink) that this show puts on is marvelous, and definitely worth the watch.
