My Top Five Series Picks On Netflix

We all know that everyone and their mother is obsessed with Netflix. I love Crime TV Dramas that really grip you so that you have to watch the next episode so that's mostly what's on my list. If you're ready to binge watch a new and dramatic TV series, here are my top picks.

1. How to Get Away With Murder

There are two seasons of this show on Netflix however, the third season has aired on TV in America and a fourth season has been confirmed. I have never been hooked on a show as quickly as I was when I started watching this. I watched it for 10 minutes and then I couldn't stop. Viola Davis stars in this show playing a law professor who becomes involved in a murder along with 5 of her criminal law students. The thing I really love about this show and that really got me hooked is that each season begins with a crime scene and each episode reveals more
about what has happened and how it has got to
that point. I am so excited for what's coming next.

                                                                                    2. 13 Reasons Why

This show is a Netflix original that I'm sure almost everyone has heard of. Its first season came out at the end of March and it has literally been the most talked about series since. This is a story about a girl at school called Hannah Baker who took her own life. Previous to her death, she recorded 13 tapes, on each tape is a person who has pushed her towards taking her own life. This is such a hard and emotional watch but I think that it's amazing for a TV series to confront mental health issues and the struggles of teenagers in this way. Clay is such an amazing character and I wish he was my friend. In the final episode of the series (the 13th obviously), Selena's beautiful cover of 'Only You' features and it almost brought me to tears. If you haven't already caved in after seeing 13 Reasons Why all over your social media, I think that this show is really important and you should definitely watch it if you're comfortable with its content. Be aware that it can be very graphic and possibly trigger those who struggle with mental health issues.

3. Pretty Little Liars

I have watched this show for years and I feel like I have watched all these characters grow so I couldn't not have this in my top five. This show is currently in its seventh and final series and I don't want it to finish. In season 1, we find out that Alison has been missing for over a year and her four friends start receiving texts from 'A'. We're on series 7 and we still don't know who 'A' is!!!!

4. Dexter
This show is an old favourite that finished in 2013. There are 8 seasons so if you decide to watch this, you have to be committed. This is the life of Dexter Morgan played by Michael C. Hall. He is a blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro PD but he is also a serial killer who only kills criminals. At times, this proves to be difficult as Dexter faces challenges throughout the whole series. If you love to watch crime shows, you have to watch this. It's full of twists and turns and endearing characters.

                                                                                    5. Orange is the New Black

This is also a Netflix original with 4 seasons on Netflix and a 5th one coming out in June. I've recently rewatched the whole series before watching the fourth season and it didn't take too long. In season 1, Piper Chapman has to abandon her fiance and go to a low-security women's prison as a sentence for carrying drugs through an airport 10 years ago. There she is reunited with her girlfriend and throughout the series, we learn about the previous life of each character and why they are there. This series is dramatic at times, emotional and funny. In my opinion, the fourth season is the best season to date and now I would recommend watching it.

Honourable mentions that didn't make it into my top five: American Horror Story and The People v. OJ Simpson.

Happy binge watching on Netflix!
