I’m back for my PhD in Netflix…
You heard it right ladies and gentlemen…I’m back. Yes, it has been awhile since my last article but…Netflix added Friends and I really don’t think I need any more further explanation. Netflix came out with an entire list of new TV shows and movies. So here you go Galway…2.0 of what you need to watch on Netflix.
Reign:
Oh dear god… this show will make you talk in a British accent, want to live in the classic era of 1557 in France, and totally help you ace your Global Regents on anything about French royalty. This show follows Mary Queen of Scots when she is brought to France to wed Prince Francis. Okay I get it, it sounds like a serious snooze alert but hear me out. A run down of this show is basically betrayal, corruption in royalty, romance, and female empowerment. And let me tell you, the ending of season 1 will have you crying and nearly ripping your hair out…I know this first hand.
One Day:
Good Luck.
Glee:
I assume you have all heard of this show if you live in America…better yet, if you’re breathing. I recently started over with the very first episode. I’d like to say this show is classic even though it was made in 2009. If you like songs on the radio even throwback songs, drama, romance and high school this show is for you. It stars Lea Michele and the late Cory Monteith who join their school’s glee club. Glee club is a musical group where students perform covers of songs and mashups in competitions. It may sound corny but the show is funny, witty and it’ll make you cry at times. I highly suggest you check it out.
The 100:
Do you feel like getting addicted to a show and watching the first season non stop, never stopping not even to pee. Well you’re in luck! This is the most addicting show I think I have ever watched. Personally, I’m not that big into Si-Fi but let me tell you what, this show is just amazing. The show is about this girl named Clark. She and the entire human race, well what is left of it, live in space on this gigantic ship called ‘The Arch’. Clark along with a whole bunch of teenagers are in a prison type area of the ship from any kind of wrong doing they have been. When the teenagers turn 18 they are set flight out of the ship to die…harsh I know. But to Clark’s luck and all the other inmates they are sent to Earth to see if it is survivable. There is action, drama and betrayal. Your head will be spinning and you’ll be screaming WHY at all the twist and turns.
In Your Eyes:
This movie was added to Netflix around two or three weeks ago. It is a romance between two characters on different ends of the country who have this kind of connection through telepathy. They have been able to feel things the other person has felt but they have never met in real life. The movie sounds so corny but it’s actually a really good romance. The beginning of this movie will drag on for a bit but it will quickly get interesting. It’s a heart-warming and feel good movie that will have you rooting for the couple to finally get together. It also touches base on marriage issues with the girl containing verbal abuse. I really encourage people to go and watch this movie, you won’t regret it.
Once Upon A Time:
If you like fairy tales this show is just perfect. I’m absolutely in love with this show. I can also guarantee that this show is not some childhood storybook brought to life in a tv show. It’ll explain fairytales in such unique ways. Basically the plot of this show is that all of these fairy tale characters are stuck in this town called Storybrooke and none of them know who they really are. This is all because of the evil queen who cast a spell on everyone. You’ll be guessing who everyone is and you’ll be just biting your fingernails waiting to see who figures it all out and what characters will be on next.
The Pregnancy Project:
This is a very very important movie. I think this movie should be shown to all kids in high school. I heard about this actually from Seventeen Magazine. The plot of this movie comes from a true story about a girl who decided to fake being pregnant as her senior project. The movie came from the true story and the girl who actually did it wrote a book called “The Pregnancy Project”. The movie shines a light on how people, not just high school students, react to a teenage girl getting pregnant. The movie will put a better perspective on people who are pregnant at a young age. I highly, highly suggest that everyone watches this movie.
Now that I have given you a list of movies and tv shows that you just have to look up. I thought that as an added bonus, I’ll give you guys a few things that I hope to watch in the future.
Sons of Anarchy, Being Human, Beyond Scared Straight, Beauty Shop, and Footloose but the original because I have already watched the newest one way too many times.
