Binge-Worthy TV Shows

We asked students about their favorite television show to binge-watch. Read their responses below:

Nora Archer, “End of the [EXPLETIVE] World”: “‘It is very chaotic and messy. The characters are pretty self-aware but dumb at the same time.”

Jeff Huang, “Big Mouth”: “Everyone loves a good cartoon, but I especially love this show for all of its raunchy humor and its unique, lovable characters. The show 100 percent doesn’t let the bounds of political correctness limit it, and there have been so many times while I’ve watched the show where I’ve had to do a double-take because of how bizarre the episode is, and I just start laugh-crying.”

Jenna Mackenroth, “Euphoria”: “It’s super interesting; the color scheme is unique and engaging, and the storyline is also fun and poignant at times.”

Vivien Li “The Untamed”: “It’s a Chinese-drama, but it’s also on Netflix. It portrays a really emotional love story between two guys while adhering to the film censorship laws in China. I’m really emotionally attached to the characters.”

Roshni Patel, “Friends”: “I love ‘Friends.’ I think it’s better than ‘The Office,” and I know people disagree, but I don’t care. It’s awesome that ‘Friends’ has episodes for all my moods and is generally a feel-good show. Plus, I could never be tired of Ross and Rachel drama.”

Daisy Lin, “Gilmore Girls”: “I love the wit and sarcasm of the characters. It’s a show that never gets old, and no matter how many times I watch it I always find something new to laugh at. Also, I’m not sure if this counts as a show but, recently I’ve been really into cheese ASMR, so I just thought that I would mention that too.”

Loretta Oei, “The Flash”: “I think that Barry is a very interesting character, and when I watch it, I immerse myself in the superhero world. It allows me to escape from school and reality.”

Emily Seto, “The Office”: "There are so many episodes. There's an episode for any mood I'm feeling. If I'm feeling sad, I could be watching an episode of Jim pranking Dwight, and I'd feel better."

Zoe Shah, “The Office”: “It’s so funny, and Jim and Pam’s relationship is adorable; their wedding made me cry.”

Justine Kang, “Red vs Blue”: “I love its plot and artistry, and the fact that it's been running since 2001, has 17 seasons, and is still going.”

Abir Taheer, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”: “It has an interesting and sometimes dramatic plot while still being able to maintain a light sense of humor. It's a great show to get my mind off things and just relax.”

Rafi Chowdhury, “Avatar”: My favorite show to binge-watch is probably ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender.’ The show has been a huge part of my childhood, and it’s fire. The flying squirrel monkey is also cute.
