5 Things to Watch on Netflix This Fall

Even though it's still 80 degrees here in Georgia, I am emotionally and mentally in Fall mode (I've got a new sweater and legging on as I type this). I love the coziness this time of year brings and it always inspires me to find a new show to watch on Netflix. Also when the weather is a bit chillier I don't feel as guilty about staying inside, laying on the couch, 5 hours deep into a Netflix binge as I do during the summer. I still do it though...

I always have a hard time figuring out what I want to watch. Am I in the mood for a drama? A comedy? Should I rewatch Friends for the 10th time this year? It's a life changing decision. So I've listed out a couple of the shows that I've loved either watching in the last year or loved watching over again. Hopefully this makes your decision a little easier, because Fall isn't about thinking...it's about fitting as many episodes into a weekend binge as you can.

Gilmore Girls

Quite possibly one of the coziest shows ever - Gilmore Girls is the show to watch as we transition into Fall. I always get the itch to watch this around this time of year because a lot of the episodes take place in the autumn and Stars Hollow is the cutest, quaintest town that was screams sweater weather. The show itself is perfect for a good binge. You can snuggle up in a fluffy blanket with some hot chocolate and just enjoy the best quick, witty humor and heartfelt storylines. I love watching Gilmore Girls because it brings back happy memories of watching it when it originally was on, which was like ten years ago btw, and it gives you that wonderful nostalgic feeling.

Stranger Things

One of the best shows to come out of 2016, Stranger Things really gets you in the mood for Halloween. The vibe of the show is very Fall-ish to begin with so add in a boy disappearing, a girl with supernatural powers and a gross, scary monster and you've got yourself the perfect show to watch on a spooky October night. Season 2 is coming out at the end of the month, so you can definitely quickly binge this show to catch up before it premiers. Not even kidding, I started it on a Friday night and watched it until the early hours of the morning. Once you start watching, you can't stop.

How To Get Away With Murder

I have this thing for crime shows, and that thing is that I am obsessed with them. How To Get Away With Murder is the name of a law class taught by a tough, take no prisoners law professor who is not easily impressed, and chooses five of her best and brightest students to assist her with cases to gain "experience". Those students soon become entangled in a murder plot and have to use what they've learned from said experience to get away with it. As you can expect, mysteries and dark revelations take over these students lives. It's another easy binge that will keep you coming back for more. The first season is the absolute best and will probably make you want to become a lawyer - the murderous things will not.

Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is just one of those shows that you can watch over and over again and it never gets old. A lot of the episodes are set in the fall and winter - and there is absolutely nothing better than seeing New York during that time of year. Many of the storylines are easy to follow, but will draw you in like a moth to a flame. You don't have to think about anything too hard, apart from when you're thinking about who GG actually is and how it doesn't make any sense. I love to watch this show and dream about being Blair Waldorf. Also, you get to watch Chuck Bass be Chuck Bass- enough said.

The Crown

If you love history like I do then you will easily fall in love with The Crown. It starts at the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and gives an inside look to her life as Queen - both professionally and personally. The show is incredibly well made and for the most part, pretty historically accurate. I'm also totally enamored with the Royal Family and their history so this is right up my alley. It provides a really interesting perspective into the events that shaped her into the Queen she has become and the strains the crown put on those closest to her. It's Netflix's most expensive series to date, and it is easy to see why. Visually, this show is stunning and the actors give incredible performances. I would recommend this show at any time of the year, but there's something about it that just screams Fall.

So those are some of my favorite shows to watch that would be perfect for the Fall. I also just realized that I think I associate most of these shows with this time of year because that's when I started watching them! Weird. What are some shows you guys enjoy watching during the Fall?
