Spring break is fast approaching, and most of us Buffs will be leaving campus for the week. Some of us are heading home for relaxation and home cooked meals, while others are traveling to Cabo and will be in need of a day in bed after a long night out. Either way, binge watching a new series is inevitable. To help you out, here’s a list of some of the best options out there:
1. Girls
No matter what your opinion is of Lena Dunham, she’s made a hilarious and relatable show about 20 somethings making their way through life in New York City. It’s like Sex and the City, but far less glamorous, and way more entertaining, in my opinion.
2. Grey’s Anatomy
If you want to laugh, cry, and punch your laptop screen within an hour, this is your show. And if you don’t know what ‘your person’ means (AKA you’re way behind on the times), you need to get started on Grey’s immediately.
3. Scream Queens
Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, and Ariana Grande all in one show? It might sound like a hot mess, but it’s brilliantly clever and almost too easy to binge on.
4. The Vampire Diaries
Staring at the Salvatore brothers for an extended period of time is probably the most relaxing way to spend your break. Just look at those eyes (and ignore the meal still on Stefan’s face).
5. Chelsea Does
Fairly new to Netflix, Chelsea Handler documents her doing things (Marriage, Silicon Valley, Racism, Drugs). Literally, that’s it. But it’s Chelsea Handler, so it’s inevitably hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming.
6. Gilmore Girls
My mom and I rewatched a majority of this classic over winter break, and I’m willing to bet we’ll be doing the same despite the warmer weather. Lorelai and Rory are mother/daughter goals, and you’ll have to watch to see why.
7. Broad City
Comedy Central gold. It’s a little bit crude and a whole lot hilarious. That’s a lie, it’s sometimes painfully crude, and that’s the beauty of it. If you want some secondhand embarrassment, watch Ilana and Abbi live their daily lives in the most absurd ways possible.
8. Gossip Girl
A classic, and a must if you haven’t already seen it. The drama of the Upper East Side will make all your problems suddenly seem infinitesimal.
9. Game of Thrones
The Seven Kingdoms will give you some of the most exhilarating action you’ve ever seen, and you’re lying if you don’t cover your eyes every so often. And don’t worry, the show comes back to HBO on April 24th for season six, so you have plenty of time to catch up.
10. Once Upon a Time
A grownup adaptation of our favorite childhood fairy tales, and with some added adventures and excitement thrown into the mix. Plus, just look at Captain Hook there, isn’t he charming?
