Need a new show to binge? Check one of these out!
The Walking Dead:
10 seasons
Post-apocalyptic world in which survivors must adapt. Jump scares, a lil romance, zombies, and tears will definitely be shed. In my opinion, the first 4 or 5 seasons were great, but after a while it gets hard to continue watching. But I highly highly recommend giving it a shot.
Glee:
6 seasons
A classic. Mr. Schuster, high school Spanish teacher, builds the glee club up from nothing. If you like singing, dancing, and romance, this one’s for you. Also, you will cry during this one as well.
Raising Hope:
4 seasons
I don’t think this one is super well-known but it is without a doubt the funniest tv show I have ever watched in my life. 20-something year old Jimmy gets in a situation with a serial killer and ends up fathering a little girl. He has to raise Hope with his parents and his great-grandmother who suffers from Alzheimers. Please please watch, you won’t regret it.
Dead to Me:
2 seasons
I think this one is fairly new and trending on Netflix. Poor Jennifer just lost her husband in a tragic hit and run and is attempting to rebuild her life when she makes a new BFF, Judy. Super funny, kind of weird, but overall really good.
The Vampire Diaries:
8 seasons
If you haven’t watched this, log into Netflix right now. My favorite show of all time (besides Grey’s Anatomy of course). As can be expected, lots of vampires, werewolves, witches, and a few humans reside in Mystic Falls, Virginia. A little spooky for some, lots of romance, and some comedy as a gift from beloved Damon Salvatore. Don’t go another day without watching. Enjoy! Oh and you will cry.
Supernatural:
15 seasons
Featuring the incredible Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, the two star as brothers who hunt supernatural beings. Kind of like ghostbusters but also nothing like it at all. Also a favorite that has mostly spooky action and hardly any romance but contains some humor. Highly recommended!
Law and Order: SVU
21 seasons
My current binge. Detectives investigating homicides, rapes, kidnappings, and child abuse. Honestly, this show can be very dark and real so if you want happy endings I do not suggest watching, but if you like a show that doesn’t dive into the personal lives of the characters and you like more realistic television, this one’s for you.
Prodigal Son:
1 season
SO GOOD. I watched this at the beginning of quarantine and it’s very interesting and reminds me a lot of the “Silence of the Lambs.” Malcom Bright’s father is the infamous Surgeon, a serial killer. Watch as he navigates through his career as a profiler for the NYPD and as he tries to discover the truth of something he saw when his father was first arrested. Seriously so good please watch.
9-1-1:
3 seasons
Also watched this one at the beginning of quarantine. Finished it within a matter of 5 days I think. This one is a little cheesy but I promise you won’t regret watching it. Focuses on first responders from 9-1-1 dispatchers, police officers, paramedics, and firefighters. This one 100% keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The Resident:
3 seasons
Another medical drama but focuses more on the business aspects of a hospital and what really could be going on behind closed doors. From surgical devices, to CEOs, to the secrets of healthcare, “The Resident” captures it all. It’s really good and stars “Gilmore Girls’” favorite blonde.
Grey’s Anatomy:
16 seasons
If you haven’t watched this then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s my favorite show so I obviously place it high upon the pedestal of recommended binge-worthy TV shows. You know what it’s about so please just go watch it. If you have already watched it, watch it again. I have watched it 5 times so please try for 6.
The Outerbanks:
1 season
You have obviously watched this already so I don’t think there is any point to me giving my opinion on it. If you haven’t it though, please do. It’ll only take up a day of your invested time.
