Whether you're anxiously waiting or already enjoying your much deserved winter break from school, there will be times when you just want to relax on your couch, covered in blankets, ready to watch some good shows

Now that you are finally granted time to watch a show and not just skip through to the parts where important scenes take place (does anyone else do that?), you are more than ready for a great show.

Here's a list of the top eight shows that I personally find to be entertaining enough to stay up late watching.

1. "Awkward"

It’s a few years since the show has aired, but it will make you feel reassured that the emotions you once held in high school were understandable.

2. "Jane the Virgin"

I am putting total trust in my friends when I recommend the show to you because I have not yet watched it myself, but I could give you the play-by-play plot of every season due to the insane amount of times that my friends bring it up.

3. "How I Met Your Mother"

A TRUE classic.

4. "Friends"

I know that there is a "HIMYM" vs. "Friends" feud – a least in my school – but I believe that both deserve a watch.

5. "The Handmaid's Tale"

More of an emotional twist on a dim, futuristic society. It's definitely interesting enough to stay up during a school night when you have to be up in five hours, but hey – to each their own.

6. "The Big-Bang Theory"

Whenever you’re looking for a laugh, the comedy will do the job.

7. "The Good Doctor"

It's a relatively new show, but has an interesting story line that makes you question where you stand sometimes.

8. "How To Get Away With Murder"

I risk sounding like a critic when I say this, but I am on the edge of my seat whilst watching it.
