Netflix Obsessed

If you have Netflix, you already know how awesome it is.  If you don't have it or don't know what it is - WAKE UP!  It's a great way to watch television shows, documentaries, or movies either instantly on a computer, device, or television or you can have discs sent directly to you at home.


Why wouldn't you have Netflix?!  

Recently I've become way more Netflix obsessed and have become so consumed with shows that I get so sad when they've ended, that all I can do to cheer up is start a new one!  I'm going to share 3 of my recent shows that I've watched and loved... enjoy!

First there was Prison Break.  This show is based around 2 brothers, Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield.  Lincoln is falsely accused of killing the Vice President's brother and is sent to prison and is on death row.  Michael, who is an engineer and helped build the prison Lincoln is in, intentionally gets himself sent to the same prison to break his brother out and free him from this conspiracy he's caught in.  Now, this may not sound intriguing to some of you but I became so obsessed with this show, so much that I could not stop watching it or talking about it!  I became so invested in the well being of the brothers that all I wanted to know was what was going to happen to them and would they ever be free again?!  I also began to realize how many characters from the show are part of so many other shows and movies now!  If you're looking for a fast paced, intriguing show, WATCH THIS!

Next there was Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  This show follows an "elite squad" based in Manhattan that follow and solve brutal crimes dealing with rape, murder, kidnappings, and disappearances.  Even those these stories are just depressing and sometimes disgusting I cannot stop watching.  Almost every story line starts out the same with someone getting raped or finding someone who was murdered but the show is now it's 15th season and people still can't get enough!  The worst episode  was when Detective Stabler just NEVER RETURNED - with absolutely no explanation!!!!!!  Any who, no matter how many times I've seen an episode I can still always watch it again, so give it a try!

Lastly, and what I just finished up this morning is Gossip Girl.  This show is about a group of Upper East Siders that start off in an elite high school.  Their deepest secrets and desires are always found out and posted for all the world to see by a mysterious "person" known only as Gossip Girl.  Friendships and relationships are burned, built, and re-built and nothing they do or say is every kept private.  The quest to find out who Gossip Girl really is keeps you guessing all the way until the last episode!   To be honest, I started watching this show to use as background noise but as I listening I couldn't stop watching!  I was able to right off the bat pick out who my favorite characters were.  As the show went on and I went from season to season my favorites became my least favorites and my least favorites became my favorites.  The show and characters evolved so much and you really became close them.  I hate them all at the same time for all the galas and balls they go to and all of the couture and glamorous lifestyles they all lead, but at least I'm boring enough to always stay under the radar should a real life "Gossip Girl" occur.

As you can see, my 3 past choices of shows all could not be more different from each other.  I would like to apologize to a certain few friends of mine that have to sit and listen to me explain about past episodes of shows I've watched and how often I say "this is my new favorite show now!" - guys, I'm sorry and you know who you are.

I can't help it - I love finding new and old shows to watch so if you have any suggestions, suggest away!
