5 Shows For a Perfect Binge During Thanksgiving

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UWB chapter.

The Secret Circle: The show is about 6 teens who practice magic and discover the secrets of their parents in the process. The leads are some of the current favourites from supernatural shows like Phoebe Tonkin from Vampire Dairies/ The Originals and Shelly Henning from Teen Wolf. Its only one season with 22 episodes so it’s a perfect watch for a 4 day weekend.  

Twisted: This show is an amazing drama about a teen who supposedly killed a family member when he was a child. The show discovers what happened in the past and what will happen with his new life. It’s also just one season so this show is a good watch after some turkey dinner.  

Frequency: The show is about how a woman contacts her dead father and tries to figure out what happened to him. It has a great cast and plot. Every episode is filled with suspense so it makes you want to watch more and more of it. It’s just one season after the network cancelled the show, but it’s a great watch for the weekend! 

Beyond: This show is about a guy who wakes up from a coma after 12 years and discovers that he possesses super natural powers. The show plays with futuristic ideas which work very well. The actors do a great job as well. So far, the show has only produced one season so it fits well into the four day weekend plan. 

Famous in Love: This show is about a teenage girl who ends up being cast in a high budget movie and how she handles the pressures of Hollywood. It’s not an amazing show with a great plot, the plot is repetitive with a love triangle but it’s a good 10 episode drama for the weekend!
