Who doesn't have a Netflix account nowadays? I wanted to share some of my favorites with you so that you can enjoy them with me! David and I don't have cable, so I depend on Netflix for a good show buzz. I love watching a good television episode before bedtime to unwind and sometimes we leave some comedies running in the background of a party. Honestly, who doesn't like a good show? I know most of these won't be groundbreaking, but they're still my favorites!

1. Firefly. Unfortunately, this show was only on for one season in 2002-2003. It was too early and I know that if it were on now, it would last quite a while. Firefly is a scifi type show that takes place well into the future after people have left Earth. It focuses on a particular ship called Serenity run by an awesome captain who (almost) always does the right thing while being a total badass. Mal and his four crew members play host to a brother and sister duo who are going through some trouble, a shepherd (or Pastor) who has a secret badass background, and a companion (which is basically a very well-respected and endeared prostitute, but classier). A few years after the show ended, they made a spin-off movie called Serenity which wraps up the story and is equally awesome.

2. Sherlock. This is one of my hands-down favorite job not only because it's a wonderful story or because Martin Freeman is my secret crush, but mostly because it is such a beautifully done show. It's not that uncommon to see a beautifully done movie, but for a show to put as much effort as they do in their asthetic is very rare. I really enjoy the way they incorporate electronics into it as well. Most films and shows that are beautiful tend to stay away from technology because it's just not pretty. Looking at a phone or computer screen takes awayf rom the feel and so the way they play it into the show is fantastic. I could go on all day about how gorgeous this show is. And how much I love Martin Freeman. hehe.

3. Torchwood. Most people have heard of the show Doctor Who, which is a fantastically wonderful scifi show and one of my most favorites. Torchwood is a really great spin-off of it. There is a reoccuring character during David Tennants time on the show, Captain Jack Harkness. He was one of my favorite characters on Doctor Who because he was very charistmatic, hilarious, and he also had an awesome back story with his weird curse/blessing of being immortal. His team is always quick with jokes while battling crazy aliens.

4. 30 Rock. I just recently read Tina Fey's book, Bossypants, and fell head over heals with her style of comedy. I had never really watched 30 Rock before and obviously after reading her book I just had to. I'm in love! I relate to Elizabeth Lemon a lot. Not because she's a middle age woman with no husband or because she's the boss of a really awesome comedy show, but her jokes are totally my style. No one understands how much I really love food except for Liz Lemon. In fact, there have been time since watching this when David refers to me as Tina Fey because of my jokes/weird behavior.

5. Bob's Burgers. I only just started watching this. I mean, seriously, I just started watching this on Tuesday. I think I fell in love with it so quickly because (as my sister kept trying to explain to me before I hopped on the Bob's Burgers bandwagon) it reminds me so much of my own family and my siblings. My sister, brother and I are all really goofy and when you put us together we're just...well, you have to see it. I'm only on season one of this show, but I'm quickly flying through it and I rarely go through an episode without busting out in laughter every five minutes. It's great, really.
