Everyone seems to experience those winter blues that get you down and depressed throughout the entire winter season. A great way to take your mind off those blues is by starting a binge-worthy TV series on Netflix. The possibilities are endless, meaning there is a show for everyone. Some of my personal favorites include Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, Shameless, American Horror Story, and Orange is the New Black. 

Grey's Anatomy is about an intern, Meredith Grey, who pursues her legacy as a surgeon while getting caught up with personal relations with the other doctors. Grey’s Anatomy gets very emotional and holds love, laughs, and many, many tears.

The Vampire Diaries is about a brotherhood shared between old vampires trapped in adolescent bodies, while fighting over a human’s (Elena Gilbert’s) affections. The Vampire Diaries is extremely captivating; in fact, once you have watched the first episode of the series, you're automatically hooked. 

Shameless centers around a dysfunctional family living in Chicago, who deals with issues their alcoholic father creates. The series is a comedy, but it contains drama within each laugh.

American Horror Story is exactly what it says. It’s the American horror that we all tend to crave. Each season is a different story but all hold incredible fear. 

Orange is the New Black focuses on a woman living in New York who gets arrested and taken to a woman's prison, while she copes with her past crimes and present drama. The show is addicting and makes all of your emotions come together with each and every episode.

Students at Juniata High School are sharing their personal favorites as well. Sophomore Madison Schlum says that her favorites are That ‘70s Show and Shameless. That ‘70s Show is a comedy following six teenagers living in the 1970s and reveals the many colors of the groovy decade. Senior Darin Love states his favorites are Family Guy, Grey’s Anatomy, and Orange is the New Black. The series Family Guy is about a dad, Peter Griffin, and his dysfunctional family undergoing their many crazy adventures. Freshman Madison Forry says her favorite binge-worthy TV show is Fuller House. This Netflix Original is about the continuing adventures of the Tanner family as they create their own lives by working together. Senior Tyler Bryner says, “I'll watch anything related to healthcare.” So if you have a Netflix account, go searching now for your binge-worthy TV series!
