Your Next NETFLIX Binge

I was late to the Netflix bandwagon after they split streaming and actual physical discs when you had to pay for both. Since I was only interested in the streaming I didn't even try getting stuff in the mail which is surprising since I love me some mail!!


Some of my absolute favorite shows are available to watch in their television lifetime on Netflix. Some of these I've binge watched on Netflix and others I happen to *cough* own every season *cough*.

My Favs

1. Sons of Anarchy
This show is so different from my everyday life and it has a great love story arc that I have been obsessed with it. I'm a rule follower by nature, but being able to put myself in the rule breaker seat while I watch this is a great way to waste a couple of hours every night.

2. One Tree Hill
This is the first show I watched the pilot episode of and continued to watch until it ran its course. It's also where I first fell for my main girl crush, Sophia Bush. Who wouldn't want to be the girl behind the red door?

3. Gossip Girl
I don't know why I didn't watch this show while it was airing on television, but I definitely missed out. I was first introduced to Gossip Girl during its Sixth Season when Birchbox sent a special GG edition. Intrigued I decided to check it out on Netflix and I couldn't stop watching it. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to live on the upper East side of NYC like the rich and famous, this show gives you a Hollywood'ized version.

4. Army Wives
I missed the first few seasons of this when it was airing, but as soon as I got Netflix this was one of the first shows I binge watched and then continued to watch it until its final season.

5. Friends
Now that Friends has finally made its way to Netflix no binge watching is complete without this show. I've been told in the 90's you were either a Friends of Seinfeld fan, but rarely both. Since I've seen my fair share of all three, I know some of you may have never seen an episode of Friends so you better start now. Even though they're only 24 minute episodes without the commercials, it can take more than just a weekend to make it through all ten seasons.

Netflix also has their own original series available nowhere else that you can watch. Though not in their entirety I have given both of these a shot.

Netflix Original Series

1. Orange is the New Black
Everybody was talking about this show when it first came out and I like a few of the actors in it so I too checked it out. While the first season kept my attention and intrigued me, I tried watching season two when it was released and it just didn't do it for me anymore.

2. House of Cards
Politically based drama and after two episodes I gave it the boot. It just wasn't my kind of show.

I've re-binged (is that even a word) all of these shows, but I know I need to seek out other shows on Netflix so these are the ones I've been considering.

Up Next

1. Friday Night Lights
I've never seen an episode of this show, only know that it's about football and has one of the main characters from Nashville.

2. Gilmore Girls
I've seen many an episode of this show, but not from beginning to end, straight through.

3. Breaking Bad
I watched like 3-5 episodes of this show on Netflix when a friend suggested it and even though I liked it, there wasn't enough to keep me interested. I've been told recently that you have to get to the second season to really get into it. I may give it another try.

4. Vampire Diaries
Ya'll know I love me some Twilight, so I've debated for years whether I should watch this show with the love triangle and just never gave it a shot.

5. Dexter
I have been known to have an obsession with Serial Killers in the past, and I have a few friends that REALLY enjoy this show so it's been on my radar for a while.

I'm currently going through another round of Gossip Girl, but which one should I watch after that?
