"Netflix-ing"

Netflix. An obsession that takes over our lives.
If you aren't completely taken over by this website . . . deactivate now 
before it is too late. 

Now for those of you in which it is too late for and you are completely mesmerized by this website, well you know the struggle.
The struggle of spending an hour searching for something to watch, you don't give up of coarse, you keep searching and searching. It is okay, take a deep breath, don't panic.
As a fellow "netflix-er" myself I have spent quite a while searching and searching as well.
I thought I would share with you all some of my good picks.
So you know the struggle will be less of a struggle. :)

Starting off with movies.

Stuck In Love


I have to say this movie is raw and realistic. So if you are looking for some good humor yet appealing emotions and raw life situations. This one is it!

What's Eating Gilbert Grape


This is quite an old film, so you may have seen it quite a while ago. 
And yes that is Leonardo Dicaprio. His first film in fact. Wow is all I can say, wow.
Might I add I was bawling like a baby at the end as well as proud. 
That wouldn't make sense unless you watched it . . . just sayin'.

The Host


Now, I have to admit, I was a bit reluctant on watching this simply because I heard harsh reviews on it.
But . . . it's actually not that bad. I mean it isn't the greatest movie of all time. But it will keep your attention, keep you wanting to know what's next, it appeals to you. I admit it made me cry, and now that we established I'm an overly sentimental baby, I can say any movie that makes me cry is a good one.

The Croods


I'm sorry but I enjoy watching animated movies like the 5-year old I know I am deep down inside. 
I always feel like "children's movies" are not just for children. 
They're entertaining, funny, and have great lessons hidden inside them.
This one is definitely one of those.

Now for televisions series.

Supernatural


If you already are not ADDICTED to this show . . . 
I don't know what to say. 
Like . . . are you okay? Are you feeling well? When was the last time you went to the doctor 
to get a plain ol' check up? 
In all seriousness, this show will become your life. Literally, you'll feel like a hunter and think like a hunter. This show will have ALL of your emotions completely invested in it, all whilst you laugh.
Watch. It.

Grey's Anatomy


I know this show might not be for everyone simply because there's always that type of person that is like . . . "But the medical aspect is wrong! That isn't even possible, never in a million years can that ever happen!." Well guess what I don't care! The emotions and the love and the advice and strength this show is all about . . . THAT, that is real. And that is why I almost cry in every episode, that is why I love it.

The Walking Dead


You've watched this right . . tell me you have, you must have had at least watched one episode?
30 minutes? 5?
At first I was like, no everyone is watching it, I'm not going to follow the crowd.
Boy was I stupid. 
Let me tell you I watched all three seasons that were currently on Netflix at the time in 2 weeks.
I'm not even ashamed. This show will hook you. It will HOOK you!!
This is the type of show that will leave you mad for days, leave you mad when the season finally comes, leave you mad every time horrific comes. But it will also make you happy and fill you with excitement. (Also one to make me cry.)

Once Upon a Time


This show is just awesome. The details and the fact that it is about classic fairy tales in a modern world is just . . . mind blowing. A must to watch.

The Vampire Diaries


There's only so much I can say to give this series justice but it won't. You simply need to watch it and trust that you did good by it.

Skins 

Skins (E4)

Skins is a UK series but you can still find it in the US Netflix. 
If it is any show that is out there that is truthfully raw to this generations teens it is this one. 
Definitely this one.
Your heart will be just in this series and it will feel EVERYTHING.
watch it . . . please.

I can honestly keep going but I think either you've abandoned my post to go sign up for 
Netflix or watch some of these movies or series listed above.
I don't blame you.
Anyways I hope you enjoy some of these and let me know what you think!
Let me know also know some of your favorite movies or series on Netflix.  
Lessen the struggle blueberries.
See you later!

  1. I really liked your comment about the Croods! I am definitely a big Netflixer and watch more animated films than I do others. I love the "kids" Netflix section and have to admit that I have watched the Croods at least once a week. :)
