We don’t have cable (or whatever it is you call it when you pay for TV channels, haha) and haven’t for about six or seven years. And it’s actually been pretty awesome. We don’t find ourselves spending a lot of money on a service that we don’t actually have time to fully utilize.
So. we watch Netflix! We tend to go through phases where we watch a lot of Netflix and then other times we won’t watch it for weeks. I’m currently in a phase of hardly watching it because I feel like I’m building my business from the ground up again since we’ve moved. Plus, Lily is almost three and still hasn’t watched any kids shows or movies (except for the occasional times it’s playing at a friend’s house). We just don’t watch TV or anything while she’s awake, so that leaves us with limited hours to watch!
But, I WILL say that although I’m always adding things to my list on Netflix, I always fall back on the same shows! For funsies, I wanted to share my top 5 favorite Netflix shows and see if any of you like them as well!
- Friends. I started watching this right before I had Lily and I binged it the first month after she was born because I was always nursing, so it was on a lot, haha. I LOVE this show so much and I’m probably on my fourth or fifth time watching it now! We’re back at the beginning and now I can’t watch it without Steven because he hasn’t actually seen all of them from start to finish!
- Gilmore Girls. I never saw this when it was actually on air, but I watch it alllll the time now! I love it so much! And I’m pretty sure Steven enjoys it too.
- Young and Hungry. I didn’t know what to expect when I first started watching this but I was intrigued because Emily Osment was in it. It is SO funny! The episodes are short and it’s another one of my faves!
- Grace and Frankie. This was a show I didn’t think I was going to like, but I gave it a try and I’m so glad I did! I feel like I have characteristics of both Grace and Frankie, and the show itself is really funny and goes through such a dynamic with its characters!
- Jane the Virgin. I am SO excited for the final season to be on Netflix (whenever that may be). When I first started watching it, I thought it was such a hokey show, and super far out there, but I kept watching because I couldn’t help myself and it got SO much better as the show went on!
Other honorable mentions:
- New Girl
- One Tree Hill (I was SOOO sad when they took this off Netflix! This was another one I regularly watched on repeat!)
- NCIS
- Parenthood
There you have it! My top five favorite Netflix shows! Do you have any recommendations for me to watch as well?!
