Weekend equals Netflix binge. You have all the time in the world to burrow in your bed and watch the latest shows. Netflix makes it so easy to watch episode after episode of your favorite shows. That's all we need in life: food, bed, and Netflix. If you've already finished Making a Murderer, then you're most likely looking for a new, (or an old) favorite show to binge. I've completed a list of my to 5 most binge-worthy shows on Netflix.
1. House Of Cards
This is an old favorite of mine. Watching Frank Underwood work his way to the top of the political throne is a thrilling ride. I'm only on season 2 (no spoilers!!) But this has still become one of my favorite shows to binge. If you're not into seeing the devious side of politics and power, then this might not be the show for you. But if you are looking for that, then you've come to the right place.
2. Parks and Recreation
3. Criminal Minds
This show might not be for the faint at heart. This show can get gruesome, but once you get hooked, you're hooked for life. The actors on this show bring life to their characters and the cases their characters handle. Based on the Behavior Analysis Unit of the FBI, this show covers a whole broad range of events. Criminal Minds will play on all of your emotions, but if you're willing to dive in, it's well worth it. I've just started binge watching this show. I've already gotten to season 4, and I'm emotionally attached to the characters.
4. The 100
Set in a futuristic space station, 100 young adults are banished and sent down to Earth after a nuclear disaster wipes out life. They're sent to Earth to see if it's inhabitable and must fight to survive in a world they haven't visited before. I've only recently started watching this show, but from what I have seen, it's very binge-worthy. If you like Si-Fi flicks, this is right up your alley.
5. Jessica Jones
Jessica Jones is described by Netflix as "A girl hired to find a pretty NYU student who's vanished, but it turns out to be more than a simple missing-person case." I just added this show to My List, and I look forward to the hours I will spend binge watching. There's only one season of this show, but it looks so good and it'll be worth your time. And, finishing season 1 will give you something to look forward to: Season 2.
These are just a few of the shows on my Netflix list that I can't help but binge. Whether you like Si-Fi or crime shows or maybe you're more of a comedy person, there is something for everyone on Netflix. Binge On.
