Calling all fans of suspense and the supernatural. We’re going to count down the top five shows for college students to binge watch on Netflix with a long-time Netflix subscriber. Judy Flamond, a student at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta has been binge-watching great shows on Netflix for years and has picked her top five shows everyone needs to start watching. These shows are great for all college students to start watching for a break from their studies.
- Number 5: The Order (2019-2020). A show about a Belgrave University student, Jack Morton, who joins a fabled secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, and is thrust into a world of magic, monsters and intrigue. Anyone who likes shows like Legacies, Shadowhunters or Teen Wolf should definitely check out The Order on Netflix.
- Number 4: Fate: The Winx Saga (2021-). A modern revival of “a childhood show that was [her] favourite,” says Flamond. This show is based off of Nickelodeon’s Winx Club and is about fairies attending a magical boarding school in the Otherworld, where they must learn to master their magical powers while navigating love, rivalries and the monsters that threaten their very existence.
- Number 3: The Bureau of Magical Things (2018-). “A comfort kids show” about a teenage girl named Kyra (Kimie Tsukakoshi) who accidentally discovers an extraordinary world and gains magical powers and when an unexpected threat emerges, she must unite fairies, elves and humans to save them all. If you’ve watched shows like A Discovery of Witches or Charmed, then you may like this show.
- Number 2: You (2018-). A show full of suspense about a bookstore manager (Penn Badgley) who goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by. With three seasons already, this Netflix original show is rated 93 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and is currently on the Netflix top 10 list. Season four of You is set for release in 2022.
- Number 1: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020). A darker twist on the classic show Sabrina the Teenage Witch with 36 episodes. Despite being cancelled last year, this show is still very popular. “I love the cast and the story. It’s very fitting to watch for Halloween,” says Flamond. This is the fourth Netflix original show on our list, along with The Order, Fate: The Winx Saga, and You, and it’s full of suspense and supernatural drama. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina takes place in the same show universe as Riverdale so any fans of this other Netflix original show should definitely check out Sabrina.
That’s all for Judy Flamond’s top five Netflix shows. All of you Netflix binge-watchers definitely should check out all the shows on our list, especially with three of the five of them still currently releasing new episodes.
