Three-day weekends, winter break, spring break - well anytime you have spare time - are all the best times to watch some kick back, relax and watch some TV. Nothing like “Netflix and chill” right? I’ve seen plenty of shows and I’ve even watched some of them twice!
So here’s a list of some shows that I highly recommend:
1. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FXX, Netflix)

The hit FX series is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in a long time. With tongue-in-cheek quips and the outrageous misadventures of the ensemble cast that includes Danny DeVito and Charlie Day will make you quote them ‘til kingdom come. If you if live in Philly, it’s a right of passage and a more of a must than seeing the Liberty Bell!
2. Stranger Things (Netflix Original series)

This Netflix original starring Winona Ryder is a gripping Sci-Fi thriller that you won’t get enough of. Heck, they even made an after show special Beyond Stranger Things! And it has all the classic and relatable elements of a great storyline: romance, moral conflict, and loyalty.
3. Shameless (Showtime, Netflix)

A fan favorite, the ensemble cast of the hit Showtime series brings incredible performances first then incredible execution of their respective storylines. It covers issues from sexuality to mental illness, and does it with the upmost realism from the South Side of Chicago. From the getgo, you think that each plot line gets more messed up - until it gets more messed up!
4. Weeds (Showtime, Netflix)

This one is a guilty pleasure of mine. Mary-Louise Parker stars as Californian suburban widow Nancy Botwin who resorts to dealing marijuana to maintain her upper-middle class lifestyle. The series chronicles her family woes, her love life, and the trials of being in the drug business. The comic relief from Kevin Nealon’s character Doug and Elizabeth Perkins as Nancy’s frenemy Celia provide a well-rounded show that you’ll want to rewatch twice!
5. Friends From College (Netflix Original series)

Set in New York City, the new series follows the lives of six college friends from Harvard. Keegan-Michael Key (from Key & Peele) stars alongside Cobie Smulders and Fred Savage in a dramedy that will make you want to go back to your glory days of undergrad. And now that I’m in grad school, I totally would!
