In the month of pumpkin spice lattes and crunchy leaves, it’s only appropriate to embrace the fall vibe when watching TV. There are hundreds of series worth your time, but a few obvious fan favorites capture the true essence of the season. Here are our top picks!
Wednesday:
The Netflix hit stems from the well-known sitcom “The Addams Family,” which features a strange family and their daily activities. The newer series focuses on the eldest daughter of the family, Wednesday, and her experience attending a school for outcasts. The overall spooky nature of the series adds to the mysterious fall atmosphere which arrives with Halloween. This show is perfect if you’re looking for an adventurous way to immerse yourself in a fantasy world while still being cozy in your own home.
Friends:
While this ten-season comedy series can be watched any time of year, there’s nothing better than watching the six iconic characters get into ridiculous crises to take our minds off of the less-than-fun schoolwork that seems to pile up day by day. It’s easy to get swept into a day of binging the show, and during the season of academic stress, it’s a great way to relax. If you’re looking for something quick to put on while doing homework or just have a laugh for the first time in weeks, “Friends” has your name all over it.
The Vampire Diaries:
As a teen favorite, this eight-season hit never gets old. The strange air of Mystic Falls, the show’s setting, has hints of fall in so many ways. The series utilizes the autumn atmosphere from the very first season to set a sense of mystery upon the town. From the people that seem out of place in the quiet neighborhood to the smirks on the characters’ faces, the show is addictive and hard to stop watching once you pick it up. If complex backstories and plot-twists are your thing, then you’ll love the show, start to finish. Grab a few friends, pick someone’s basement, and prepare yourself to fall in love with the action-packed drama.
Gilmore Girls:
Arguably the most fall-associated show, Gilmore Girls is witty and sharp. Some of the most memorable scenes take place during the autumn months of each season. The show explores the strength of a mother-daughter relationship while mixing in humor and sarcasm in the best ways possible. Most students have likely seen the beloved production at least once if not more, but there’s always room for a rewatch no matter how busy our schedules are. From Luke’s Diner to the Dragonfly Inn, Gilmore Girls is full of memories to be had and is worth any amount of your time.
There’s nothing better than curling up with a cup of hot cocoa, tea, or coffee, while the leaves turn golden-brown and watching some of these fall favorites. So, if you’re ever a little bored or just looking to relax, pop on one of these amazing series and watch the plots unfold! •
