The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet

"Crazyhead" is the perfect mix of "Buffy" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet
Channel 4 BBC

If you've spent enough time browsing through Netflix, you've probably seen your fair share of strange shows. There are Korean westerns, Romances from India, and a lot of random sitcoms and dramas in between. Not all of it is terribly amazing, but there are always gems to be found. And one of the best gems is "Crazyhead."

Pictured above are the protagonists of the series, Raquel and Amy, two relatively normal women who it turns out can see demons. Amy believes she is hallucinating, and runs into Raquel at the mental hospital. Raquel has no doubt the demons are real, and does her best to help Amy come to terms with it. Soon, they catch the attention of a group of demons that are hatching an evil plan. There are twists and turns as these women come to terms with demons walking around southern England, but at the core of this series it is a raucously funny show - with a lot of heart and personality mixed in.

Raquel is a socially awkward misfit, and her directness comes across as a better written Sheldon Cooper. She is aggressive and confident in everything in her life, but when it comes to talking to this new girl Amy, she has moments where she realizes she may be coming on too strong and sounding crazy.

Amy, on the other hand, is perfectly average. She works at a bowling alley, staves off the annoying flirtations of her co-worker, and goes to parties with her roommate. We follow her growth as she realizes these demons are real, and see an incredible friendship blossom between her and Raquel.

Really, Amy's heart is the core of the show, and even though she is terrified of what is happening, she perseveres to help her friends. Even the jerk co-worker takes up a place in her heart. Just as a friend, though.

The leading actresses are incredible, who you may recognize from other British shows. Most notably, Cara Theobold (Amy) is the voice of Tracer in Blizzards hit video game Overwatch.

If you ever tire of binging "Supernatural" or "Buffy," (though how could you?) "Crazyhead" is a wonderful step in a slightly different, more crass and humorous, direction.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
