Netflix Essentials

While at school, its hard to keep up with weekly series. I have found that Netflix is the perfect way to enjoy a study break by watching at your own pace. Whether its only watching one episode while at the gym binge watching on a night off from school work, I'm pretty sure Netflix has at least one series for everyone. Here are a few that I have been loving!

1. Bones
Bones is based on forensic anthropology, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth to the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan "Bones". With her team of "squints" Bones uses forensics to solve each case, while keeping the show interesting thought her relationship with Booth! While this show won't appeal to everyone, I absolutely love it and the comedic dynamic between Bones and her team. 
2. Gossip Girl
The series begins with the return of Upper East Side it girl Serena Van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) from a mysterious stay at a boarding school. Blair  Waldorf (Leighton Meester), "Queen Bee" of the Upper East Side is a longtime friend and occasional rival of Serena's. The story also follows Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), the bad boy of the Upper East Side and long time boyfriend of Blair; "golden boy" Nate Archibald (Chase Crawford), Chuck's best friend, and "Brooklyn Boy" Dan Humphries (Penn Badgley) the outsider and longtime boyfriend of Serena. This show is incredibly captivating and is definitely worth watching. I've seen the entire series three times! 
3. Scandal
Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) is a former White House Communications Director for the President of the United States who has left to start her own crisis management firm, Olivia Pope & Associates. Olivia has decided to dedicate her life to protecting the public images of the nation's elite but is finding that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot leave parts of her past behind including her relationship with the president, Fitzgerald Grant! I would recommend this show 100%, it is the perfect combination of suspense and romance.
4. Pretty Little Liars
Set in the fictional town of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, the series follows the lives of Spencer Hastings , Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and Aria Montgomery, who are four girls whose clique falls apart after the disappearance of their friend, Allison. One year later, they begin receiving messages from a mysterious figure using the name "A", who threatens to expose their secrets. At first, they think it's Alison herself, but after her body is found, the girls realize that someone else knows their secrets. The girls continue to discover more and more information about "A" and Alison's disappearance—all while risking their lives. The show kind of drags on, but it is definitely the perfect shows for a marathon.
5. Grey's Anatomy 
Grey's Anatomy follows the lives of the doctors and residents of Seattle Grace Hospital. Through heartbreak and the drama of life as an ER doctor, this show will never leave you hanging. Last summer, I watched what was available on Netflix and I plan on catching up as soon as it is released! 

Now I am watching CSI: NY and am absolutely loving it! If you can't tell, crime shows are my favorite. 

Love,
