We all have our go-to Netflix shows that, no matter what, we are always in the mood to watch. However, there are those days where your mood just doesn’t match your favorite show. Here are seven shows to binge watch for whatever mood you’re in.

If you feel like your friends are dramatic, watch Gossip Girl.

No matter how dramatic your friends are being, there’s no way they are on the same level as Blair Waldorf and her crew. Not only can you watch Gossip Girl to put your dramatic friends in perspective, but maybe you’ll also learn some good revenge tactics from Queen B, herself.  

If you feel like using your high school Spanish knowledge, watch Narcos.

Narcos might seem intimidating at first because it is primarily spoken in Spanish, but once you get into it you’ll see that having to pay close attention is totally worth it. Narcos gives you a new look into the Colombian drug trade, and by the end of the two seasons, you just might be able to pick up certain Spanish words.

If you’re tired of your small dorm space and wish you could decorate an entire house, watch Fixer Upper.

Decorating dorm rooms is great and fun and exciting, but there’s only so much room in those shoeboxes. When your designing dreams go above and beyond what you can fit into your dorm room, turn on Fixer Upper, and let Chip and Joanna help you imagine your future home goals.  

If you want reassurance that your crazy life isn’t as crazy as it could be, watch Shameless.

You might feel like you are barely holding your life together, but watching Frank and his kids on Shameless will show you that you’ve actually got it pretty easy. Shameless is incredibly addicting and will leave you feeling thankful for how easy you have it.

If you need a pick me up watch, Gilmore Girls.

Nothing is quite like the small-town charm of Stars Hollow and the relationship between Rory and Lorelai Gilmore. Gilmore Girls is definitely a feel-good show that will leave you smiling and wishing you lived in a sleepy little town in Connecticut.

If you need to relive your childhood watch, Cadet Kelly.

Okay, so Cadet Kelly isn’t really a TV show you can binge-watch, but it’s too good of a Netflix option to pass up. Watch Cadet Kelly to reminisce all those Saturday mornings you spent watching Disney Channel Original Movies and remember the days you kind of wished you could go to military school to meet a guy as swoony as Brad.

If you wish your live was a telenovela, watch Jane the Virgin.

The likelihood of you wishing your life was a telenovela before watching Jane the Virgin is pretty slim, but once you invest some time in Jane, you’ll be dying to have the dramatic flair that accentuates Jane’s life. What could be better than having the cutest baby, two hot guys fighting for your love, a dad who might actually be the funniest person ever, more crime lords than you can imagine, and someone to actually narrate your life? Jane’s telenovela life will keep you hooked episode after episode.
