Winter is here, and darkness is starting earlier and earlier (at least for another few weeks) and it is the PERFECT time to start a new Netflix Series (or two) to fill your evenings.

Here are a few of my suggestions to keep you entertained through the early nights and winter cold until spring hits again!

The 100
I am a HUGE The100 fan and love Netflix 100x more now that they are releasing a new episode each week.  I have control issues with my favourites and this helps to keep me balanced (i.e.: not curled under the covers for days on end binging on the series)   If you haven’t watched this one yet, you need to start!  It is a bit “weird” but you get totally stuck into it after a few episodes.

Pretty Little Liars/TheKilling
Hubby and I co-watched these (I watched Pretty Little Liars, and he watched The Killing)  These shows are basically the same:  Girl dies, people try to figure out how and accuse the wrong person over and over again.

Except, according to Hubby, my show has prettier characters!

TerraNova
I like dinosaurs, and there is actually a bit of a storyline too. This also stays on theme from the 100 in the whole “the world is dying” thing and kinda makes you thinking about actually doing something to fix the issue.  Oh, and did I say Dinosaurs? Love Dinosaurs.

The 4400
An Oldie but a goodie about 4400 people disappearing and then arriving back on earth all in a big group, except now they have supernatural powers.   Warning tho – this one was cancelled after 4 seasons so you will NEVER FIND OUT WHY!!! (insert evil laugh)  Still worth the journey though.

Obviously I am kind of a sci-fi/mystery sort of gal so if that is your schtick as well, give these a try!

And if the kids are still up, try watching Once Upon a Time  with them – a fun play on the ole fairy tale land!
