Does anyone else have an addiction to binge watching shows on Netflix? There are shows that I started watching when they first came on and now they are off air or new shows that are on and I need to catch up on the seasons. It’s seriously addicting! Whoever thought of the idea of Netflix…I love you, that is all.
Here are some of the shows I am loving on Netflix right now.
The Originals
Where You Can Find It: The CW
About The Show: The Mikaelsons move to New Orleans and form an alliance with local witches in an effort to rule the city once again. This is a spinoff from Vampire Diaries.
Why I Love It: Well one it is set in New Orleans (if you know me I am from Louisiana and lived half my life in New Orleans). It is more than just the vampire story line. I seriously have never really cared for vampire tv shows,etc (with the exception of Twilight) but I am addicted to this show.
Young & Hungry
Where You Can Find It: ABC Family
About The Show: A female food blogger is hired as a personal chef by a young tech tycoon and faces a new menu of challenges, both inside and outside of the kitchen.
Why I Love It: It is extremely funny and the situations you find the characters in, are situations that you can relate to. If you like comedy, this is a great show. The cast works so well for the show.
Gossip Girl
Where You Can Find It: Netflix (because it is no longer on air)
About The Show: Privileged teens living on the Upper East Side of New York can hide no secret from the ruthless blogger who is always watching.
Why I Love It: I can see myself being Serena and Blair. I love the fashion and the fact that it’s filmed in New York.
Hart of Dixie
Where You Can Find It: The CW (I think it is already off air and has had it’s series finale)
About The Show: New York doctor Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) has reached a crossroads in her life when she decides to accept an offer from a stranger to work with him at his practice in Alabama. When she arrives in town, she discovers that the man has died and left her his half of the practice in his will, something that doesn’t exactly make her new partner happy. Despite the shock of Southern life and some less-than-hospitable town folk, Zoe decides to give her new life a chance and discovers a new side of herself in the process.
Why I Love It: I love Rachel Bilson! From heart-break, to comedy and everything in between, this show has it all. It’s extremely cute!
Scandal
Where You Can Find It: ABC
About The Show: “Grey’s Anatomy” creator Shonda Rhimes is the creative mind behind this ABC drama. Olivia Pope, a former media consultant to the president, is ready to move on with her life and opens her own crisis-management firm, but she can’t seem to shake ties with her past. Olivia’s staff includes Quinn Perkins, who has a complicated history, and hacker extraordinaire Huck. As she moves forward it becomes clear that, while her staffers may specialize in cleaning up the lives of other people, they can’t seem to do the same for themselves.
Why I Love It: One word: Olivia Pope. She is a woman who does not play games. I love her attitude! As well as well…all the scandalous things that happen on the show.
Now there are a ton of other shows that I binge watch but that would be a very long list. Are there any shows you are currently loving on Netflix that I should watch?
Oh I binge watch shows on Netflix all the time. We recently binged watched Sense8 (which I am a big fan of), currently binge watching Arrow, and binged on Daredevil not too long ago. I almost prefer to watch a show in this fashion instead of watching it when it is on weekly.
I need to watch The Originals. It is next the ol list.
I have never heard of Sense8 or Daredevil. I need to check those out! I have heard of arrow and everyone says its pretty good. I try to watch most of my shows that are still on air each week when they come on, but sometimes its hard to do. Thank You for commenting Nichole!
I haven’t seen any of these- will def. add them to my list when I have some series drought!
They are great shows to watch! Hopefully you’ll enjoy them as well. Thank You so much for commenting Stephanie.
Gossip girl is the BEST. I finished it (for the second time) last month. It’s so addictive…
I haven’t finished watching all of it yet. I started watching the show when it first came out and for awhile afterwards but then got to busy with school. I need to finish watching it! Thank You for commenting.
These are all shows I love and try my best to keep up with! In definitely guilty of binge watching too, haha 🙂
Lisa it is so hard to not binge watch shows, especially when they are good! Thank You so much for commenting.
Believe it or not I have literally only just started with Netflix, so this post is really helpful! Sometimes when there is just SO MUCH choice, you have to have a little steering, so thanks!

You’re very welcome! I’m glad this was helpful. Let me know if you find any other good shows to watch. Thank You for commenting!
We just became best friends!!! The Original is my all time favorite show. Like I can’t wait to get the dvd collection for Christmas.
Lol Jasmine! I just started watching it a few months ago and I am addicted! I don’t have the dvds yet but I’m thinking about getting them. I need to catch up on the seasons though because I am so behind.
I love The Originals! The rest are also on my list of shows to check out as well haha great list!
Me too Keating! If I didn’t have to work, I would seriously not be productive because I’d be watching netflix all the time. Thank You so much for commenting!
We just finished bingewatching Bloodline, one of Netflix’s original series. It starts slow but picks up in the last half of the season!
I have never heard of that Natalia. I will have to check it out. From the name of the show it sounds really good! Thank You for letting me know about it.
I’m also binge watching Gossip Girl too!
It’s addicting!
Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, and Scandal are all mine too. I currently have no time to binge Netflix (insert cry face), but I also loved when I watched One Tree Hill, Revenge, and Private Practice!
I have watched all of One Tree Hill (I wish it was still on air). I used to watch Revenge and Private Practice when they first came on air but got to busy to continue. I need to watch them soon. Thank You so much for commenting Kayty.
Young and Hungry looks super funny! I keep saying I’m going to start Gossip Girl.
I love Young & Hungry! It’s really funny and I love the cast. Gossip girl is a must! Thank You so much for commenting.
I used to watch Scandal and Hart of Dixie but I got behind and stopped watching both. I do remember Hart of Dixie being super cute. I loved all the southern names on that show!
Scandal is my show. I can’t wait for it to come back on next month. Hart of Dixie is really cute.
Love gossip girl and Scandal. I’ve also binge watched Pretty Little Liars, Orange is the new Black, and White Collar. Love Netflix.
I love PLL as well! I have not watched Orange is the new Black but I’ve heard it’s really good. I will have to check it out soon.
I loved Gossip Girl! I’m excited for Fuller House to start,
I have seen things about Fuller House starting soon. I used to watch Full House all the time when I was younger. Hopefully it will be good!
LOVED Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie, and Scandal! I’ve been binge watching Army Wives, Glee, and American Horror Story. Thanks for sharing! Now I want to rewatch GG & Hart of Dixie!
I’ve watched some of American Horror Story and it’s pretty good. I have so many shows I’ve been watching and even more to start. Thank You for commenting Lexi.
I haven’t seen a single one of these! My husband and I don’t have Netflix right now, we cycle back to it every few years 🙂 Right now we stream through Amazon Prime. I love being able to watch television that way, though. So much better than viewing regularly scheduled shows! We just finished watching two seasons of The Newsroom and really liked it. 🙂
I have Amazon Prime as well but haven’t really used it much. I guess I need to look into it. I have no heard of The Newsroom but I will have to look into it. 🙂
I have spoken to a few other friends that love The Originals. I am going to add this to my list. I am a binge watcher too and with school starting next week, I will have a little more time to add this! Thanks for the list!
Carissa, it’s a really good show! Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. Let me know how you like it. 🙂
What a great list! I am currently binge watching The West Wing. I am not a big fan of too much drama. Just enough to keep you going. I am all about that character development.
Trisha, I have never watched West Wing before. I will have to see about watching it soon. 🙂
Great list! I am a big Scandal fan and never miss an episode. It is in my Netflix queue too, for random rewatching.
Glad you mentioned Hart of Dixie — that is a show I want to watch.
Trish, I love Scandal! I can not wait till it comes back on this month! I have not missed an episode yet either. Hart of Dixie is really cute and good!
We don’t have TV – only a screen for DVD watching and casting stuff via Google Chrome. Netflix only arrived in New Zealand three months ago and I’ve already binge watched The Black List, Arrow, Bloodlines, Sense8, and American Horror Story. The joys of working for myself, from home, with no small children to worry about. Many of the shows you’ve listed have yet to arrive on Netflix NZ but now I’ll be watching for them when they do 🙂
I love the Black List. I’m a little behind on watching it though. I need to get caught up! I haven’t watched any of the other shows you’ve mentioned but I know other bloggers have mentioned some of those shows. So when I have more time, I will have to check them out. 🙂
I’ve binged a few of these! Scandal’s my favorite on the list 🙂 I’ve been wanting to watch Young & Hungry though, I didn’t realize it was on Netflix now!
I love Scandal! I can’t wait for it to come back on later this month. I am so excited! I feel like I need to binge watch the last season just to remember all the craziness that happened. Young & Hungry is really good.
I finished watching Hart of Dixie and want to get into Scandal, but I know if I do I won’t get anything done.
I need to finish watching Hart of Dixie. Oh Scandal will get you hooked. You will defy not get anything done if you start watching it. 🙂
