#9 Parks and Recreation (2009-2015)

Grab some tissues because this show will make you laugh until you cry. Parks and Recreation follows a group of government workers who are all part of the, you guessed it, Parks and Recreation department. Leslie Knope just wants the best for her town, even if it is virtually the worst town in the country. This show makes watching government workers doing their job entertaining. Friendships are made, waffles are eaten, babies are born, mini-horses are worshiped, the pit is filled, and so much more. If you want to understand what all of that just meant, watch Parks and Rec. You won’t regret it.

#8 Criminal Minds (2005-)

This show will make you check your locks at least twice. Criminal Minds is about a group of elite FBI agents who are part of the Behavior Analysis Unit. They study serial killers and get to the bottom of what really made them into a killer. They’re not just a team, though. They’re basically a family which makes watching countless murders so worth it. Each episode they tackle a new case that will blow your mind and keep you at the edge of your seat. Even some of the stories are based off of real life cases. You don’t want to mess with this team of FBI agents who outsmart every killer they’re up against. Hurry and catch up on Netflix before the season 12 finale on May 10, 2017 on CBS.
