TV Shows You Should Binge Watch

In no particular order here are the shows that have consumed the days when I was avoiding doing work, skipping exercise or I was just so addicted to I spent 6 consecutive hours watching. Enjoy!

1. The Mindy Project: Gynaecologist tries to find love in NYC.

Mindy Kaling is the best friend you always wanted and the girl you always secretly hoped to end up like. The show is hilarious, stars buckets of very attractive male suitors and pays homage to everyone’s favorite romcoms. Also the chemistry between her and Danny is HOT.

2. Breaking Bad: Chemistry teacher turns meth dealer.

To be honest I watched the first episode and wasn’t too impressed. One year later, after hearing everyone raving about it I decided to give another chance and got completely addicted. There’s thrills, dark comedy and captivating characters. Definitely worth watching.

3. Skins (U.K.): Teens go wild.

British accents, drugs and all-night raving. This may not appeal to more mature viewers, but the skins characters are so cool you can’t help but root for them. Although not an accurate depiction of teenage life (at least not in my case!) the story lines are gripping and often thought provoking.

4. Torchwood: Alien Hunters protect planet earth from extraterrestrials.

A spin-off from Doctor Who for an older audience. This show is completely different to anything I’ve seen before. The stories are dramatic, heart breaking and action packed. The characters although reminiscent of Doctor Who are flawed in very human ways which makes them all the more lovable.

5. American Horror Story

I didn’t include a description for this one as the characters and story changes each season. So if you haven’t watched from season one it doesn’t matter! This show is really scary and scarily addictive (haha sorry bad joke). Settings include a haunted house, a mental asylum, New Orleans and a freak show.
