What kind of college student doesn't marathon a little Netflix now and then? It was invented for boredom leading to obsession with great shows! College students may be busy with schoolwork (or at least college seems to be more successful that way!) but we sure do make time to veg:)
I knew many people that loved Supernatural in high school, but to be honest I didn't know much about it and I got the impression it was sort of a geek show since those are the kids that seemed to be raving about it. It teaches you a lesson about quick judgement on both the students from my high school and the show! Although I don't know, I think I can be kind of a closet geek myself, hush hush, considering that I am completely in love with Doctor Who.
My confession is that I have conjured up all my talent in television marathon skills mixed with my excessive winter break time and lack of a car to leave the house (although update: I am going to look at a car tomorrow, but I digress as usual!) and put it towards Supernatural. For anyone who has not seen it, it resembles Doctor Who minus the time travel, and X-Files but with mostly evil spirits, hauntings, and demons instead of aliens.
What I like most about it is that the writers seem to have done an exemplary job of balancing individual episode plots with an ongoing storyline throughout the seasons. There isn't so much going on that it is confusing or that a family member who isn't caught up won't enjoy watching an episode with you, but at the same time there is enough going on between episodes to keep you coming back for answers. It is well written and I am proud and yet a tad embarrassed to admit that in the last three days I have gotten so far that as I write this I am simultaneously watching Season 2 Episode 16. With the exception of Doctor Who there has never been another show I have watched so many episodes back to back. Although like I said, there aren't many other options for me stuck in the house all day!
