Well, here is a list of 10 shows to consider watching, with great explanations as to why! Maybe you’ve heard of some of these shows, and maybe not, either way, they’re worth binging over when you need to break away from all the stresses of college and all of the homework.

1. New Girl
This show is a little quirky, but in the best kind of way. Once you get into it a little, you’re going to find yourself laughing out loud! The characters are also easy to relate to. Great Comedy! You can also find New Girl on Fox!

2. Dexter
If you’ve heard of Dexter, you’ve probably heard someone say… “It’s a show about a serial killer, who only kills other killers.” Which is true. Dexter isn’t like anyone else out there! He’s a killer… But he only kills people who murder innocent people. This show has a lot of drama, suspense, mystery and a “killer” plotline (no pun intended)! Every season has a new plot, and it just gets better as it goes on!
