College isn’t all about studying. Whenever you don’t have much homework or you just need a break, Netflix is a great place to turn to. Some shows in particular are great for binge watching when you have time between classes. Here are a few to try next time you’re looking for something new to watch.

1. Money Heist

One of the most popular international series on Netflix is Money Heist. It’s full of action, intrigue, and complex schemes. As a bonus, if you’re a language major, this will give you a chance to practise your Spanish. As the final episodes just came out recently, you can now binge watch it to the end.

2. Squid Game

Maybe you haven’t even watched Squid Game yet. Stop feeling left out and start bingeing the series now. Although it’s violent and can be difficult to watch at times (especially as you get attached to characters), you’ll find that you’re hooked until the end.

3. Hellbound

If you loved Squid Game, the next show on your list should be Hellbound. It’s an adaptation of a webtoon of the same name, although you may also know the director from the zombie movie Train to Busan. The story is sure to grab you: it’s about a prophetic angel who condemns people to hell, even telling them the exact time they will be taken.

4. Colin in Black & White

One of the most famous NFL players of our time is Colin Kaepernick due to his stance against police brutality. The series Colin in Black & White is a fictionalized drama in just six episodes that shows how the events in Kaepernick’s life led him toward activism. It’s definitely one to watch if you’re interested in social justice.

5. Seinfeld

Since Seinfeld arrived on Netflix a few months ago, it’s become a top show to binge. The classic sitcom hits its target just as well as it did when it was released. Even if you’ve watched it before, it’s worth bingeing from beginning to end in case there are episodes in the nine seasons you’ve missed — and also to relive all the best moments.

6. Big Mouth

Although Big Mouth is a cartoon about teenagers, it’s certainly aimed at an adult audience. It’s hilarious and also quite disgusting most of the time. It will make you feel relieved to have left puberty behind.

7. The Witcher

Fans have long been awaiting a second season of The Witcher — and it’s finally here. If you enjoy fantasy, this is a show you’ll love. The good news is that season two follows a chronological timeline, meaning there are fewer places where you’ll need to pause and clarify with your friends what’s going on.

8. The Chair

Usually, series about university centre on the students. The Chair is different. This comedy-drama is from the perspective of professors and covers a range of social issues — although taken to the extreme. Plus, it stars Sandra Oh, which should be enough reason alone to watch the show.

9. You

It’s been a couple years, but You is finally back with a third season. This one brings the creepiness to a new level as Joe, the main character, develops new obsessions. There are more plot twists (and twisted characters) in this latest season than ever before.

10. Cowboy Bebop

There are actually two Cowboy Bebop series for you to binge. The original is an anime from the 90s. Netflix bought the rights to this to accompany its own live-action series. If you’re a hardcore fan of the anime version, you may want to skip the new one.

Otherwise, it’s worth watching if you’re into sci-fi, especially for the superb acting.
