more great content for this list we’re
recommending shows you might want a
binge watch these will not be popular
shows that everyone has already seen
these are underappreciated shows that
you could really immerse yourself in
over your holiday break that’s bull
shirt number 10 Vikings
watch instead of Game of Thrones again
you must watch for his sake it’s the
only hope of reaching Valhalla now the
game of Thrones has finished at 7th and
penultimate season
you’re probably pitching for another
show just like it 1 full of political
intrigue betrayals and buckets of blood
what should you do re-watch Game of
Thrones for the fifth time you could or
you could watch the History Channel’s
Vikings a series loosely based on the
stories of Norse hero Ragnar lothbrok
it’s nowhere near as ambitious as Game
of Thrones but it’s still a good show
that emphasizes character and conflict
over gratuitous blood and sex I’m
Spartacus
huh it also looks fantastic and provides
a quick peek into Norse history if
you’re into that sort of thing I think
about you all the time
that’s too bad number nine American
vandal watch because it’s a hilarious
mockumentary
a week Netflix has been pumping out a
lot of shows yeah so it’s only natural
that a few of them fall by the wayside
it does go down ok many welcome this was
the unfortunate fate of American vandal
a very funny mockumentary about a
mischievous student alleged to have
spray-painted the cars of the school’s
faculty with anatomical imagery the show
Apes the style of making a murderer and
other similar true crime documentaries
but it plays with the conventions and
tropes of the genre in entertaining ways
even if that doesn’t sound all that
appealing to you catch it for Jimmy Tate
Rose hilarious and poignant performance
as dylan maxwell you’ll thank us later
what up I’m doing and I’m Spencer and
this is baby for you
number 8 Riverdale watch if you’re
looking for something dark but easy safe
decent innocent get closer though and
you start seeing the shadows underneath
who knew that blending Archie comics
with a murder mystery would work so well
while the show is gathering popularity
on Netflix it’s still in its relatively
early days so the holidays are the
perfect time to catch up with everyone
else and get in the know can we talk mr.
Grundy about what good a music teacher
can we talk about music okay so the
content may not mix too well with the
holiday atmosphere but just suck it up
while the show isn’t in the higher
echelons of premium TV it’s still a fun
and eerie teen robb stay loose and
limber ladies why make a call complete
with some gorgeous visuals and
surprisingly good acting the mystery
aspect of the show also makes it
extremely easy to binge watch so your
holidays should be set by morning
everyone would be talking texting and
posting about it
we’d all be feeling it number seven
master of none watch because it’s
relatable for Millennials
there’s Hoover X it’s like three minutes
away there’s an uber black that’s like
15 minutes why should I just bricks
while master of none has received a lot
of attention and awards in critical
circles its failed to make the massive
pop culture splash it really deserves
that’s crazy
the show was created by and stars Aziz
Ansari and details the trials and
tribulations of a 30-something dude in
New York
it sounds cliche and it is in a way but
the writing directing performances and
surprisingly heavy themes elevated above
shows of a similar nature while the
phrase speaks to a generation is
overblown you’d be hard-pressed to find
a show that does it better than master
of none could you please fix up this
iPad for me can I just do it later I’m
gonna see this x-men movie I don’t wanna
miss the trailers number 6 unreal watch
if you’re looking for the anti reality
show a little bit more charming on the
next tip so we’re gonna roll gentlemen
Yeah right okay there’s certainly a lot
of degrading reality television out
there today and yet those are the shows
that draw millions upon millions of
viewers show is like unreal on the other
hand quietly slip under the radar it’s a
dang shame yes how fast unreal is very
much a scathing indictment of the
reality industry now there’s a modern
concept it levels biting attacks on the
genres lack of dignity and uses its main
character a fictional dating show
producer to give viewers insight into
how the reality sausage is made with
only 20 episodes aired as of the end of
2017 it means it’ll make for a quick if
depressing binge if you get to them
before its next season airs in 2018
and
lately
number five big little lies watch
because it’s an emmy-winning miniseries
if you ever touched my little girl like
that again you’re gonna be in ok as
short as unreal is big little lies is
even shorter there are only seven
original episodes so you can cover this
in a day should you be up for the
challenge
note however the talk of a second season
began in mid to late 2017 back to the
original miniseries though it’s adapted
from Lianne Moriarty’s novel about an
idyllic community with an undercurrent
of deception the miniseries made a
relatively light splash on HBO but it
made a killing at the Emmys by winning
eight awards including Outstanding
limited series the show is funny
thrilling and disturbing and features
some stellar acting by an all-star cast
which includes Nicole Kidman and Laura
Dern and if you’ve read the book then
watching the show is a no brainer you
spend a lot of time staring at that
thing
number four Black Mirror watch if you’re
looking to escape the Christmas spirit
I’ll go get back rescue Jody from the
pedophile babysitter we can’t think of a
show that’ll put you in a more depressed
mood meaning that black mirror is
perfect for the holidays plus it has a
Christmas themed episode win win having
previously started and aired on
Britain’s channel 4 it’s actually its
third season release on Netflix that put
Charlie Brooker show on the map however
it remains well fully under appreciated
in the pop culture zeitgeist which
probably has something to do with that
relentlessly dour tone the show is the
twilight zone for a new generation as
each episode and story mixes horror
science fiction and biting satire into a
thought-provoking and consistently bleak
experience happy holidays during
Christmas Christmas Christmas Day
December 25th you’ve heard of it number
three Brooklyn nine-nine watch because
you want to laugh and or you liked the
office I’m not becoming like
I am them Hey
what are you doing Rita now the both the
office and Parks and Recreation have
ended you need another comedy to fill
that empty hole in your heart
enter Brooklyn nine-nine wrong it’s not
real
you’re lying a sitcom about the lives of
New York police officers that boasts a
fantastic cast including Andy Samberg
chelsea peretti Terry Crews and Andre
Braugher the show was created by Dan
gore and Michael Shore
– funny busy on the office and Parks and
Recreation and it retains a similar
style of comedy while Brooklyn nine-nine
hasn’t attained the popularity of their
previous shows it is every bit as funny
captain I’m sorry jackass number two the
crown watch because you’ve been putting
it off I have to stop breaking I mean
Jen don’t we know what you’re thinking
you’ve heard so much about the first
season of the crown and how it’s just so
good but you just never got around to it
yeah it looks pretty decent but it’s
also probably a boring period piece with
a slow story you’ll get to it later
right well now is the perfect time to
sit down and finally watch and watch it
all because the costumes sets and
overall production design make for
stellar eye candy and their performances
particularly those of Claire Foy and
John Lithgow give the show serious
substance to go along with the style
trust us it won all those Awards for a
reason the reason I agreed to grant you
an audience hopefully your grievances
about mr. Churchill but you communicate
mine about you before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions
and me Frank Gallagher
father teacher mentor captain of our
little ship I’m talking about the guys
no one knows about the guys that are
invisible the top 1% of the top 1% the
guys that play God without permission
number one the good place watch if
you’re looking for
very clever comedy there’s been a big
mistake I’m not supposed to be here the
good place is yet another michael schorr
creation which centers around Kristen
Bell’s Eleanor a miscreant who’s
accidentally sent to a heaven like
afterlife upon realizing that it was a
mistake she tries to change her ways so
as to fit into and stay in the utopian
society both Kristen Bell and co-star
Ted Danson as the supernatural creator
of the good place are hilariously
charming and the show is a highly
original take on the modern sitcom each
episode also ends on a cliffhanger which
makes it perfect binge watching material
with only half of the second season
having aired as of the end of 2017 he’ll
be able to catch up over the holidays
and enjoy one of the best comedies on
television when it’s set to start back
up again in 2018 hi there do you a
second to talk about the environment do
you have a second to eat my farts
