Netflix. Who doesn’t love Netflix? I know I do love it, I love it a ton. For the past few years I’ve been watching it non-stop and therefore I have discovered some amazing shows on it. I know that people are always on the hunt for new shows to watch -so am I- and therefore I decided it might be fun to share some of my favourite Netflix shows with you guys today. So, long story short, if you’re interested in finding out which Netflix shows are absolutely amazing and worthy of your time, make sure you continue reading!
How I Met Your Mother
The first show I wanted to mention is an old time favourite and I think it’s a favourite of many of you. I have actually watched this show about 9 times by now and I still can’t get bored of it. It’s about a group of friends who always hang out at the pub and they experience a lot of funny things. It’s one of those shows you don’t have to concentrate on in order to get what’s happening, but it does have many little hidden jokes in it that you only discover after watching it multiple times. I just can’t get bored of this show!

New Girl
My next recommendation is New Girl. I might love this show even more than How I Met Your Mother. It’s a little bit more modern and more girly, however, I know for a fact that a lot of guys love this show as well! It’s about a girl named Jess who broke up with her boyfriend and just moved to a loft with four roommates. She’s a teacher and has a very bubbly and funny personality and therefore she experiences a lot of funny things. It’s another very lightweight show to watch and it stays funny. I have watched and rewatched this show again and again and I just can’t get enough of it!

Gilmore girls
A more classic show is Gilmore Girls. This show is a little older than New Girl is, but that doesn’t make it less amazing. The episodes are quite long compared to the two shows mentioned before and sometimes they can feel a little lengthy, but overall I do really like the show. It’s about a mother and daughter living in a funny little town called Stars Hallow. Throughout the show you see the kid, Rory, grow up and you get to know more about their life. It’s just a very fun show to binge watch and you don’t have to be very concentrated to understand what’s going on.

Gossip Girl
Next up is Gossip Girl. I started watching this a couple years ago when I didn’t know what to watch anymore and at first I didn’t really like it that much. The episodes were quite lengthy, I didn’t understand what it was about and it just wasn’t that good. Luckily I kept watching and from season 2 onwards I actually started to love the show more and more. Eventually it became one of my favourite shows and just like the other shows I’ve mentioned today I have watched it multiple times. I still am not the biggest fan of season one, but the other seasons are amazing!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention what the show is about. The show is about a couple of rich teenagers living on the Upper East Side in New York and one not that rich guy living in Brooklyn. There is a website called Gossip Girl which shares gossips about these teenagers, but no one seems to know who this Gossip Girl person really is. Throughout the show you see the characters grow up and you get to know the backstories which is very interesting.

One Day At A Time
Next up is a show that I’ve only watched once, but I do really like it. This isn’t that popular as the other shows I’ve mentioned so maybe you haven’t watched this already. It’s a show called ‘One Day At A Time’ and it’s about a little family and everything they experience. It’s a feel good show and one that will make you laugh. I don’t really know how I can describe it to you guys, but in my opinion it’s definitely worth the watch. It’s a little different from most shows and therefore it’s very interesting. I really enjoyed it!

Atypical
Then we have one of my favourite shows of all time: Atypical. This is about a guy with autism. This show gives you a really good image of what autism actually is, what it is like for the person who has it and for his social network and it also shows you what the symptoms can be like. Of course it’s not representative for everyone with autism, but I just think it’s a very good show and I like that they took the time to display a disorder like that since it’s a disorder that does need some more awareness.
I also really like how they displayed the character. He is a very sympathetic guy and he’s also quite funny. I really like how they turned the show in such a lightweight and funny thing, even though it does tell you the story of something that could be quite heavy on someones life.

Jane The Virgin
Another big favourite of mine is Jane The Virgin. This is a show about a girl who wants to stay virgin until she gets married. One day she goes to the doctor for a checkup and accidentally she gets artificially inseminated. She ends up pregnant and this comes with a lot of problems.
It might sound very cheesy but even my boyfriend likes the show and he’s definitely not a fan of the shows I usually watch. It’s just a very funny yet mysterious show that is very easy to watch. I just really like how different the show is from other shows and how dramatic some of the characters are!

That 70’s Show
I have to admit that I haven’t fully finished watching this show, but I have watched quite a lot of episodes already. I think most of you are familiar with this show, but I still felt like it was worth mentioning. I’m talking about That 70’s Show. It’s about a couple of teenagers hanging around in the garage a lot and experiencing funny things. It’s displayed in a 70’s setting which is pretty cool especially if you’re quite young and you have no idea what those times were like.
Number of episodes: 200
Episode length: 20 minutes

Modern Family
The last show I want to mention is one I’ve watched over and over and with so many different people. And literally every single one of the people I’ve watched it with has loved it. I’m talking about Modern Family. This show is about a very modern family. There is Phil and Clair, a rather traditional yet interesting couple. Phil is really, really funny. And there is Jay and Gloria, an older man married to a younger forgein lady. And there is Mitchell and Cameron, a gay couple. Together they experience a lot of funny moments. It’s a very light and funny show and definitely one you can safely watch with your own family. I love it so, so much!
