Top 5 shows to binge-watch on Netflix

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WPUNJ chapter.

Hello, my fellow collegiettes! Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple years, you know that Netflix is a magical place where all your ambition goes to die, and, with the new addition of the phrase “binge-watch” into our every day vocabulary, the act of consuming years worth of television in one sitting has become a social norm. So while you’re sitting at home stressing over that final that you haven’t studied for, take a day (or two) to binge-watch one (or all) of these television shows on Netflix!

5.   Being Human (U.K.)

 

A werewolf, a ghost, and a vampire share a condo. What else can I say? 

 

4.   Prison Break

 

Canceled too soon, this FOX drama follows a mega-smart business man who gets himself thrown into jail to break out his older brother who’s been charged with killing the Vice President’s brother! I know, I know. It sounds a little far fetched, but it’s so good that it’ll leave you contemplating whether or not you’d be able to survive in prison. 

 

3.   The Walking Dead

This show, currently in it’s 6th season, is a wild ride from start to finish! After watching this you’ll finally be able to understand all those walker references your friends make!

 

2.   Gilmore Girls

 
 
With the newly announced 4 episode reunion that will be coming out sometime next year, the need for you to watch all 7 seasons of this amazingly witty show couldn’t be any higher. At it’s core it is a show about a mother/daughter duo and their respective love lives. So. Good.
 
 

1.   Supernatural

 
 
Where do I begin?  This show is so good that even the great William Shatner is a fan! At first it may seem like too much tv to start watching (Netflix currently has seasons 1-10 available, with season 11 airing on tv now) but I promise you that it will be the best tv viewing experience you will ever have! And, as an added bonus, you will finally get what all those Tumblr posts are talking about.
 
 
Happy viewing!
