While everyone is out there feeling all the motivation that comes with the start of a new year, I’m over here like, momma needs a break. And although I like a good book as much as the next gal, sometimes I just need to shut off my brain. So I’m here to say–don’t feel badly if you want to binge watch a show while you’re folding laundry. Or soaking in the tub. Or sitting on the dang couch. So I polled my readers and came up with some of their favorite Netflix shows to binge watch! There were a few I hadn’t seen before so I made sure to watch the first several episodes to see if it was really something I could recommend. You know–all in the name of science of course.
Netflix shows to binge watch
As I’m sure you know, there are so many different shows on Netflix! There is literally something for everyone and this is by no means a comprehensive list. I also tried to mostly stick to more family-friendly shows, although you’ll definitely find a few on this list you don’t want to watch with the kiddos around. Some of these are newer shows, some are Netflix originals, and some have been around awhile. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
