Scott attempts to maintain a normal life, keeping the fact of his being a werewolf secret from everyone, with the exception of his best friend “Stiles” Stilinski (Dylan O’Brien), who helps him through the changes in his life and body, and another mysterious werewolf, Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin).
How can you miss out on teenage werewolves. The mixture of hormones and high school finals is just too exciting to miss out. The new season is about to premiere. So, here’s the perfect chance to catch up
3. Orange is the New Black
Rosie O’Donnell loves this show and if she loves it you have to watch it, not really but, the show is actually pretty good. It takes a comedic look at women in prison and dealing with relationships, friendships, and doing their time.
Orange is The New Black, is based on Piper Kerman‘s memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison, about her experiences in prison. The series revolves around Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a bisexual woman living in New York City who is sentenced to 15 months in a women’s federal prison for transporting a suitcase full of drug money to her former girlfriend, Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), who is an international drug smuggler.
The new season of Orange is the New Black premieres on June 6, 2014
4. Bates Motel
If you have Netflix, this is the perfect thing not to watch with your parents unless you are interested in awkward moments and uncomfortable family dinners. Bates Motel centers on the life of Norman Bates and his mother Norma prior to the events portrayed in Hitchcock’s film.
5. Hannibal
Friday night was an amazing season finale. Now is an amazing time to catch up on a television series that will surprise you is aired on basic cable. The television series is filled with suspense, action, and mystery. It is the mixture between Showtime’s ‘Dexter’ and ‘CSI’.
6. Game of Thrones
Consider this as a visual audiobook packed with action scenes, fight scenes, romance, and amazing entertainment. ‘Game of Thrones’ is one of the most watched television series right now and that is for a good reason. With each episode costing HBO about a million dollars to make, it is like a mini movie.
