1. Criminal Minds

Are you into crime shows? Do you care about how killers are caught in weirdly specific ways? Then Criminal Minds is for you! Follow the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI as they catch killers through the 12 seasons that are currently on Netflix (I’m sure the 13th one will be added soon). While they may use the same tactics every single episode, they’ve never heard of character development, and the criminals are only ever caught because of their own mistakes and not because of the BAU, it’s still a really good show with a pretty great cast! I make it sound awful, but it’s honestly a great show for binge-watching, and you will come to love all of the crazy characters (but probably not the serial killers).

2. The Great British Baking Show

Do you love baking? Do you love British people? Well, it’s really only the first one that The Great British Baking Show definitely has. People from all over Europe and Asia compete every year, standing in a humid tent and baking cakes, bread, cookies, and everything else that can go into an oven. Every week they crown a star baker, and one person goes home until the final puts the 3 best bakers head-to-head, TO THE DEATH (not really)! It’s a heartwarming show, and I believe 4 seasons are currently on Netflix!

3. La Casa del Papel

This show is sometimes advertised as Money Heist, and sometimes as La Casa di Carta (probably because my Netflix is in Italian), but either way it’s a great show! It follows bank robbers, and if I tell you anything else it’ll spoil it. The show is Spanish, dubbed in English, so if you can get over mouths not lining up with words, then I highly recommend this thrilling show! There are currently 2 seasons, but I hear there might be another one coming soon..?

4. A Series of Unfortunate Events

Do you love depressing stories about sad, unfortunate orphans? Do you love villains who always get away and unhelpful secret agencies? It doesn’t matter what you like, this show has something for everyone, and it is most likely one of the best shows in the world. It’s based on a book series of the same title by Lemony Snicket, and if you haven’t heard of it already, then I’m so sorry, and that means you have to watch this show. Even if you have read the books, the amazing subtle changes, and all of the hella rad stuff they’ve added for the show just blows my mind. I never thought it would be this good, but it is, and everyone should watch it. The 3rd and final season will most likely be coming out next May, so be prepared now… and maybe rewatch it all two or three times.
