Who needs a man for everyone’s favorite activity? Whether you’re with your boyfriend, the girls, or just holed up in your bed, everyone loves Netflix.
Making the most of your precious Netflix time can be tricky. It’s hard to know which shows you absolutely must watch. We’ve helped you out by compiling this list of Netflix’s best new offerings. Let the binge begin.
Narcos
Narcos is one of Netflix’s latest original shows. It follows the life and times of infamous Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar, and the DEA agent trying to take him down. It’s violent, addictive, and sexy. This show is great, especially for fans of Breaking Bad, Entourage and Weeds. Plus, it’s mostly in Spanish (don’t worry, there are subtitles), so you can totally justify it as studying.
How to Get Away With Murder
Though this Shonda Rhimes classic isn’t exactly new, the entire first season was just released on Netflix, and that’s certainly cause for celebration. The show, which follows a successful, but flawed, lawyer and her pupils is currently in its second season on ABC. But don’t fret- after you finish binge watching the first season on Netflix, the second season is free online at abc.com. It’s is highly addictive and clever, similar to Grey’s and Scandal. If you ask me, Rhimes can do no wrong.
Wet Hot American Summer
If you’re in the mood for something lighter, be sure to check out Wet Hot American Summer. Featuring an all-star cast including: Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Elizabeth Banks, this show chronicles the secret and wild lives of camp counselors at Maine’s Camp Firewood in 1981. If you have commitment issues like me, check out the movie and get a feel for the humor before you watch the show. But if the response to the show and the movie’s cult following are any indicator, you’ll be left wanting more.
Hot Girls Wanted
An official selection of the Sundance Film Festival, Hot Girls Wanted chronicles the plight of modern day porn stars. It captures the interpersonal lives of several “stars” who work for and live with the same man who introduced them to the industry. Full of social commentary and critiques of the porn industry, Hot Girls Wanted is a big success. Rashida Jones certainly brings the tears and the feels in her directing debut.
Bloodline
Bloodline features Kyle Chandler (coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights, anyone?) as the owner of a hotel in the Florida Keys. The drama centers around the return of his black sheep brother who gets caught up in crime and causes turmoil for the whole family. The show will surely have you second guessing and searching the internet for spoilers. Many critics have called Bloodline the best Netflix original yet. With competitors like House of Cards and Orange is The New Black, it must be pretty darn good.
