Wow, this semester has really flown by!\u00a0 Its week seven already?\u00a0 And spring break is only a week away!\u00a0 I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019m looking forward to a nice long seven day worth of relaxing and doing nothing.\u00a0 So, for those of you who are not heading out on a fun adventure for Spring break, here are my Netflix binge-watching recommendations!<\/p>\n
Penny Dreadful:\u00a0 I first discovered this show when one of my fave professors, Kam Miller, analyzed a clip in her Episodic Drama class.\u00a0 It had me hooked from the first scene, and I spent a probably unhealthy portion of winter break binge watching this show.\u00a0 It mixes together a lot of classic literary characters (Dorian Grey, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, etc) and creates a really interesting horror-fantasy mystery hybrid.\u00a0 The performances are also fantastic across the board which makes it even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
Top of the Lake: This was another show I watched over winter break.\u00a0 It stars Elisabeth Moss as an Australian detective in New Zealand working to find a missing girl.\u00a0 It takes a lot of unexpected turns and goes into some dark territory, but it was great overall.\u00a0 There\u2019s a second season coming sometime this year featuring Nicole Kidman which should be interesting!<\/p>\n
Shameless:\u00a0 This has become the show I am determined to finish watching this semester.\u00a0 There\u2019s something about it that\u2019s just so fun, even when the characters are dealing with stressful and outlandish situations.\u00a0 Its one of those shows you can throw on and follow along with while doing other things, but it still manages to draw you into the world that it creates and get you invested in the characters.<\/p>\n
Bates Motel: This is a show that I used to be really into back in high school, but managed to lose track of once I got to college and no longer had easy access to television.\u00a0 But, I am extremely interested to see how the sixth season of the show tackles the original \u201cPsycho\u201d story, and therefore I am going to *try* and catch up on the ~2\/~3 seasons that I\u2019ve missed, especially to see how Rihanna does in her television debut.\u00a0 Should be interesting!<\/p>\n
Sense8:\u00a0 This show just released a Christmas special a couple months ago in order to lead up to season two, which is coming in May.\u00a0 Now is the time to catch up with\/rewatch this series!\u00a0 Its a bit strange at first, and takes a little while to get going, but once it does, it becomes addicting.\u00a0 Its full of gorgeous cinematography and locations, and I really loved the characters.\u00a0 I think this was the only show I\u2019ve ever binge-watched within a single day back when it was first released and I have no regrets.<\/p>\n
Riverdale: This show is interesting.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know much about the original Archie comics, but apparently the show is not very faithful to them.\u00a0 What the show is, however, is extremely entertaining.\u00a0 The dialog takes on an almost surreal quality.\u00a0 Absolutely none of it sounds like anything a teenager would actually say, which makes it even more entertaining.\u00a0 Other than that, its a pretty standard teen drama\/murder mystery, but its a fun watch overall!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
