Guilty Pleasure TV Shows (Streaming On Netflix)We all have that show (or – let’s be honest – shows, plural) that we feel embarrassment about admitting we watch to our friends and loved ones. It’s a multi- genre phenomenon – we have that movie, that book, that song – that we hesitate to freely admit we’re enjoying, as if radio silence would cure us of the need to keep going back. In recent years, indulging in our guilty pleasures has become – though not openly encouraged – somewhat mainstream thanks to the internet. When a secret TV binge is shared on social media, there’s a surge of pride that accompanies us when we jump in to declare that yes, we too thought Kandi was right when she called Phaedra “vindictive,” or that yes, we too cannot get over Marissa’s death in that car crash, even though it’s been over ten years and it’s really time to move on. Networks have definitely cashed in on that need for cheese in that last few years, and there are now more shows than ever to keep us in front of the television for hours on end.

Netflix is a particular hub for binge- watching, and it has more than its fair share of appropriate candidates – balancing its offerings nicely with a mixture of golden oldies and flashy new additions. Here are 1. 5 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows That Are Currently Streaming On Netflix. Scandal. Scandal is created by Shonda Rhimes, the quintessential mastermind of the guilty- pleasure genre. It’s a show that centers around political crisis manager Olivia Pope (played by Kerry Washington) and her firm, Pope & Associates, as well as the goings- on in the White House and the major characters related to these branches – including President Fitzgerald Grant III, Chief of Staff Abigail Whelan and Quinn Perkins, an employee of Pope & Associates. The show draws many thematic and tonal parallels from Rhimes’ other shows, with reviewers – like Newsday’s Verne Gay – pointing out the similar tropes: “The hairpin plot twists. The whiplash character reveals. The bumptious moralizing.

The Strong Woman/Wronged Woman character type, and its direct corollary, Weak, Middle- Aged, Married Man Who Secretly Likes Hookers. It’s all here!”The show is sexy, fast- paced, and chock- full with twist and turns – definitely a worthy guilty pleasure.

There’s nothing we guilty- pleasure seekers need more than a souped- up remake of perhaps the show that set the ground rules as to how its done: Beverly Hills 9. In 2. 00. 8, creators Rob Thomas, Gabe Sachs, and Jeff Judah launched the modernized reboot of the popular 1. The premise is the same: following a group of wealthy teens during their tenure at Beverly Hills High and, later, during their post- secondary years. Like any enormously well- off group of young people, the characters frequently find themselves in dramatic hijinx and romantic conflicts, like a former drug addict and aspiring singer giving birth to her child (whose father is not her boyfriend) at the prom.

You’ll perhaps be as surprised as I was to learn that Volvo offers a car for sale that is over $100,000. Watch Bees In Paradise Mediafire. But here we are! The XC90 T8 Excellence racks up at $105,895.

And that’s just the first season. Thankfully, the creators pushed out five season and 1. If nothing else, the cast is littered with beautiful people to be in awe of: Anna. Lynne Mc. Cord, Trevor Donovan, and Ryan Eggold – among others. Glee. Glee was quite a revelation when it came on the air eight years ago. Centering a rag- tag group of high school students who are haphazardly brought together to form a glee club (essentially a club where they choreograph, harmonize and belt out covers of popular songs).

Each episode contained multiple glittery song and dance numbers, generally crossing out of the reality of the glee club classroom into a fantasized, over- the- top imagining. The humor was wacky, the characters were larger than life, and the aesthetic worked. Though the quality of the writing took a dive after the first couple of seasons, Glee continued to have a dedicated fan base and secured for itself six seasons of singing, dancing, and teenage angst. Many of the cast had their start on Broadway – for example, Lea Michele (who plays Rachel), Matthew Morrison (who plays Mr. Schuester), and Jonathan Groff (who plays Jesse) – so they have the pipes to back the various musical numbers. Don’t Trust The B**** In Apartment 2.

Edgy and slightly illicit, Dont’ Trust The B***** In Apartment 2. There are few modern half hours comedies where you’ll find the familiar sitcom format mingled so well with harder and less wholesome themes and subject matter.

Chloe is the titular b*****, played by Krysten Ritter, who has made the television rounds before, playing memorable characters on Breaking Bad (as the ill- fated Jane), Veronica Mars (as the tittering Gia Goodman), and now in her role as Jessica Jones in the show of the same name. She’s a party girl who lures gullible new arrivals to the big city into becoming her roommate, demanding rent up front, and then tormenting them into leaving. June – played by Dreama Walker – manages to off- set Chloe’s scare tactics and make a favorable impression on her.

1. Some people are fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Tampa Bay Bucs. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the.
2. Grigor Dimitrov and Nick Kyrgios are two of the most watchable players on tour, with sure feel and shot-making for days. They may also be the two players with the.

The two develop a close – if not completely orthodox – friendship. Even with only 2. Don’t Trust The B***** In Apartment 2. Midsomer Murders. An oldie but a goodie. Midsomer Murders is a British export, which revolves around a lead detective (originally Tom Barnaby, played by John Nettles – now John Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon) trying to get the bottom of the numerous murders that take place in the quaint little county of Midsomer, England.

Despite the surface kindliness and virtue of many Midsomer inhabitants, the county seems to be a haven for gruesome murders. Like many English murder mysteries in this vein, Midsomer Murders is baffling, engrossing, and slightly ridiculous – a perfect combination for any good guilty pleasure show. Midsomer Murders has been on the air since 1. Also on Netflix is the similarly- toned Poirot, which is another example of English murder mystery at its finest – especially if small, obsessive Belgian men with great moustaches are more your speed. Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl took the world by storm back in 2.

Based on the book series of the same name by Cecily von Ziegesar, it helped launch the careers of stars like Blake Lively (who played Serena), Leighton Meester (who played Blair), and Ed Westwick (who played Chuck). The show starts with the return of Serena from a lengthly and suspicious absence; Serena returns to her home in the Upper East Side and clashes with some of peers. She has a somewhat tumultuous relationship with the new Queen Bee, Blair, who was once her best friend. Scandal, partying, and ill- fated romance are all big factors in this show that delves into the private lives of the wealthy and sophisticated teen elite. Though it keeps close to the book’s narrative for a portion of the first season, the series transcends its source material and manages to round out at an even six season run, with 1. Netflix- watching enjoyment. The series also stars the ever- loveable Chace Crawford as Nate, former actor (current musician) Taylor Momsen as Jenny, and Penn Badgley as Dan.

Heartland. Like Gossip Girl, Heartland also began in 2. Unlike Gossip Girl, Heartland centers around a multi- generation family living on a ranch in rural Alberta, Canada. Amy Fleming – like her recently deceased mother before her – has the gift of being able to understand the feelings and needs of horses. Also on the ranch is good- hearted juvenile delinquent Ty – who is sent to live at Heartland ranch as part of his probation. Amy ends up falling for him, and the two traverse the ups and downs of their rollercoaster love match.

This show has everything: heartbreak, idyllic farm life, and family tensions. It’s officially the longest running one- hour scripted dramatic Canadian TV show in history with 1. With a season eleven confirmed this March, there’s no end in sight for this Canadian guilty pleasure. The Borgias. Despite having only a two season run, The Borgias is the hyperbolized historical drama of your 1.
