Whether it’s on a long car ride, a rainy day at the beach or just another day in Ames, spring break is the time to binge watch a new show to pass the time. Here are a few new and old shows that are good candidates for some spring break binging. 

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia 

This original comedy from FX follows the escapades of four friends who run a bar in South Philadelphia. While the content ranges from comedic and outrageous to outright offensive, viewers may find themselves laughing in spite of themselves after watching all eleven seasons in one sitting. 

Love

The second season of this Netflix original will be available for streaming on March 10th, and follows two people, Gus and Mickey, and their romantic entanglements. Created by Judd Apatow, the creative mind behind comedies like “Freaks and Geeks” and “Anchorman”, this new romantic comedy should hold your interest.

Community 

While school might not be the first thing on the brain over break, “Community” is easy to binge and easier to laugh at. The series follows lawyer Jeff Winger, who lied about having a bachelor’s degree and is subsequently disbarred. When he enrolls at a local community college to get his degree, he finds himself tangled up in a study group full of colorful and comedic characters. The show features Gillian Perry, who stars in the Netflix original “Love”, Chevy Chase and Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino. 

The People v. O.J Simpson: American Crime Story 

The series that captured a nation- and an awards season, The People v. O.J Simpson is a dramatization of the famous O.J Simpson trial, and features many familiar faces playing key roles in the trial, notably Sarah Paulson as lead prosecutor Marcia Clark, David Schwimmer as defense attorney Robert Kardashian and Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J Simpson himself. The show’s fast pace and building tension will make for a show that you can’t tear yourself away from- and you won’t want to.
