10 TV Shows to Binge Watch on Netflix Right Now

I won’t lie. I’m kind of addicted. To Netflix, that is. I may or may not have spent most of my weekend marathoning One Tree Hill. It makes me super nostalgic for high school… you know, mid-2000s fashion, indie music, and all the drama that comes with high school friendships. Okay, maybe not that nostalgic, but I’m sure you know what I mean.

Because I’ve marathoned a ton of shows this year on Netflix, I thought it would be fun to share 10 TV shows to binge watch on Netflix. Right now. Ready?

10 TV Shows to Binge Watch on Netflix Right Now

1. Gilmore Girls
Duh. I mean, given the 10 life lessons I’ve learned from this show, you clearly ned to watch it based on it’s educational value alone. Okay, kidding, kind of. But this is my all time favorite show and if you haven’t watched it yet, I don’t know what you are waiting for.

2. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Considering after one episode I had the theme song stuck in my head, this is a winner. It’s a brand new show on Netflix so there’s only one season, but between the hilarious premise and the goofy songs and entertaining quips, you’re sure to love it.

3. One Tree Hill
This is one I’m catching up on – I’m currently watching season 5. I watched this in high school but lost touch with it once I hit college and stopped having consistent access to cable. It’s dramatic and addictive – two great qualities in a show to binge.

4. Pretty Little Liars
I started reading the books several years ago when I was really too old to read them. But, I kept reading because like the show, they’re damn addictive. I mean, teenage girls in high school, a murder, and a stalker? How much more dramatic could it be? But really, I just want to know who A is.

5. Gossip Girl
Another book-to-tv-show pick. I absolutely loved the Gossip Girl book series, and I want to say I started reading them in Middle School, but I could be wrong. Anyways, this series was super addictive and the TV show is too. Mostly I just want to steal all their wardrobes, and Rufus is a babe. Yeah, I said it.

6. New Girl
Zooey Deschanel is adorable and quirky, and she plays the adorable and quirky Jess in New Girl. She lives with 3 guys and as you can imagine, things get a little weird. Lots of laughs and feel good fun to be had.

If you’re a Lauren Graham fan, you’ll love her in Parenthood too. This will make you laugh, and it will make you cry. The characters are just so darn endearing that you can’t help but fall in love with each of them.

8. Grey’s Anatomy
It takes place in Seattle. Medical jargon and drama abound. What’s better than that? Oh yeah, McDreamy and McSteamy. I have some catching up to do on this one, but it’s still one of my faves.

If you can believe it, I never saw an episode of this while it was on TV. Dave introduced it to me on Netflix and told me I’d like it. I was skeptical (I’d never watched it because it sounded boring to me) but he was totally right and I quickly became addicted.

10. The Killing
So good. So addictive. So riveting. We loved this one and binged it in basically a weekend. If you like murder mysteries and haven’t watched this yet, definitely do yourself a favor and stream it immediately.

I’m sure there are many, many more amazing shows on Netflix to binge, but these are the ones I’ve watched all the way through (or almost) and loved. For even more binge worthy shows, check out Becca’s post here or here, or Cat’s unique picks here.

    I love Gilmore Girls, Unbreakable, and New Girl! I made it through about three seasons of Lost when it was on TV but maybe I should give it another shot.

      I liked LOST quite a lot, but the later seasons were definitely not my favorite. Still definitely binge-worthy though!

    I’ve been trying to finish Lost for 4 years now, lol! I recently binged on The Good Wife and I’m completely hooked! I have never watched Gilmore Girls, but it just might be time to do so :)

      Gilmore Girls is awesome – highly recommend it! I haven’t seen the Good Wife yet – I’ll have to add that to my list! :)

    I just started watching Gossip Girl from season one again this weekend. I read the books years ago too and am with you on wanting their entire wardrobes! I really liked the first season of The Killing, but I was so mad when they dragged it out for another season.

    I’ve actually been looking for a new series to get hooked on, and the only one from this list that I’ve ever seen is The New Girl. lol! I loved that one. I will definitely have to check out some of these other ones! Aaaand catch up on the past 4 episodes of The Blacklist that I’m behind on

    On Netflix I’ve binge watched Roswell and Being Human (UK) which were both really good. I haven’t really watched any other entire show because I’m having a hard time keeping up with the shows that are on in real time (and Quinn stopped napping). Maybe I’ll be able to when the shows are on break again, especially because I really want to watch The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

      Breenah did you watch Roswell for the first time or was it a rewatch? We did a rewatch for the IGGPPC and those who never saw it before couldn’t stand it! So funny how nostalgia works right?

      I’ll have to try Roswell and Being Human – I’ve never seen either! Definitely try Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – it’s hilarious!

      Oh Orphan Black is a good one too – that’s one of Dave’s favorites. We’re waiting on the next season being added to Amazon Prime Video. :)

    LOST! OMG we love that show! We have it all on DVD so we re-watch it occasionally. And that gif with Hurley and Charlie wins the internet today. :) I love Gilmore Girls but I’ve never seen the whole series all the way through, need to get on that! I’ve never seen PLL or Gossip Girl but I’m definitely intrigued by them!

      Haha, glad you liked the GIF! You’ll definitely have to finish Gilmore Girls, and PLL and Gossip Girl are quite addictive. ;)

    Oh man, you nailed it. So many of these shows (Gilmore Girls, OTH, Gossip Girl) are my biggest Netflix binge shows. Plus The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a GREAT new show. Pinot Noir is all I gotta say.

    Aww, thanks for the share, girl friend! I’m soooo addicted to Kimmy Schmidt right now. I feel like it’s one of those shows people either totally understand and love or totally dislike. I’d like to add 3rd Rock from the Sun to this list, which Netflix just added to its streaming service!

    YES to Grey’s, New Girl and Gossip Girl! Always good choices. I tried to get into gilmore girls so many times, but I just couldn’t stand the acting. I’m currently binge watching Glee and Reign. So bad. So good. Can’t get enough.

    Reply
    1. Jenn Post author

      Oh no! I love Gilmore Girls, but I know it’s not for everyone. I haven’t seen Reign yet, but have binged on Glee. I liked it up until the later seasons… then not so much.

    I WANT TO WATCH KIMMY but I’m scared that I won’t be able to stop once I start so I keep trying to save it for a lazy Sunday where I can watch the entire season at once but it just doesn’t happen!

    Also. When Rory + Lorelai have their falling out about Yale I cry like a baby. EVERY. TIME.

      I think that’s a good idea – I watched it in two nights after work. Definitely doable in one day! I know… that was the worst time in GG. I hated when they were fighting!

    I REALLY want to watch The Killing, but I have so many other TV shows to catch up on first!

    I’ve never watched Lost either. Not a single episode! It does look good though.

    Too funny! I have a post with nearly same title in my drafts right now! And a lot of my picks are the same as yours! Haha… great minds think alike! I’ve never watched One Tree Hill, but I may have to give that one a try, thanks!

    Reply

    These are some great picks. I loved One Tree Hill, I feel like it might have been the best teen drama ever because the characters were all nice, caring people and even when it was dramatic, they all wanted to do the right thing. Plus, the writers actually let couples stay together for more than a week!

    1. Jenn Post author

      That is true, all of the characters overall were good people in spite of some of their flaws. I think the only bad seed(s) were the parents!

    Ok I’ve seen all of these except the Killing…well and I never finished PLL. I should also mention I’ve watched OTH all the through about 4-5 times now. But in all fairness I own all the DVD’s and it’s been my favorite show for years. I’ve even been to Wilmington several times to watch them film #obsessed lol

      Haha! Too funny. I haven’t caught up on PLL yet either, but you really should watch the killing if you’re into crime dramas at all! :)

    I think I need to try Gilmore Girls. I finished Friends and The Office and I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. New Girl and the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are some of my favorites too!

    Get this. Australia JUST got Netflix. And, when I say JUST…I mean got it this week. Needless to say, I haven’t really fallen for the binge watching phenomenon because I’ve lived here six years. Although, I did binge watch Gossip Girl about 4 years ago the old fashioned way, I rented dvds from Blockbuster. Yep. Sure did.

      Haha, I used to binge watch the same way. I own all the seasons of Gilmore Girls and used to marathon the whole series. ;) Yay for Netflix though!

    So many good ones!! I put Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on as background noise and then basically ended up watching the whole season ha! I have a serious soft spot for One Tree Hill. That’s one show that always makes me feel all mushy gushy lol And I LOVED The Killing. I was so sad when it was over. I wanted more, but I’m happy how it ended.

    1. Jenn Post author

      Haha, that’s what I did with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt too. I had seen the advertising all over Netflix and thought it looked dumb. It kind of was, in a funny way. One Tree Hill is so sentimental for me, all the music and the angst totally reminds me of being 18 again!

    I feel like I should start Gilmore Girls, but I just haven’t. I did binge watch Scandal and watched like 2 seasons in 3 days (it was a rainy weekend, kids were at their dads). the American’s is pretty good too!

      I’ll have to start Scandal again and I’ll try the American’s – haven’t heard of that one! I highly recommend Gilmore Girls! :)

    Ooooh how I love Gilmore Girls, New Girl, and One Tree Hill!! And LOST! Such a great and addicting show!! I recently binged on The L Word (by recommendation of a friend), Orange is the New Black since I hadn’t seen it, and rewatching Game of Thrones in anticipation of the upcoming season. I think I’m adding Scandal and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to my list!

      I’ll have to add the L Word to my list, and I haven’t gotten around to watching OITNB yet! Wasn’t a fan of GoT but my boyfriend absolutely loves it!

    Binge watching is the only way I watch series anymore. Right now I’m watching Scandal — definitely a good one! Blacklist is another terrific one that’s really good.

      I started Scandal but haven’t finished! Need to get back to that one soon. And I’ve heard great things about Blacklist. I still need to watch it!
