So these ones are my favorite. I didn't include a lot of drama shows because some of them aren't on air and haven't been for awhile or they are just too serious for me. But these are good and riveting and will keep you on your toes!

'Teen Wolf'

This hasn't been on air for the past year, but it had 6 beautiful seasons of intense stories and great character development. It starts off with two nerds trying to get into the popular crowd. One gets bitten by a werewolf and the other has to figure out how to help him. The enter the supernatural world and have to figure out how to handle new found powers, getting on the lacrosse team, and date the popular girls. It is a really good story, is very funny, and gets you to have the feels every so often.

'Riverdale'

This is a newer series on this list and it is starting its newest third season this week actually! I'm stoked. It's based off of the Archie comics and it has a really dark twist to it. It's very intense and has many dark themes including murder to start of the show, drugs, violence, and destruction. It's actually a really cool show because it takes place in a different era because of the clothing, but they are using 2018 lingo and have the internet. I really enjoy how they are combining the two. It makes the show very unique.

'Gossip Girl'

This show is also older, but it's still a classic. It's about rich and poor kids who live and go to school in the Upper East Side. They try and make their way through the thing they called life and try to find love along the way. The premise of the show is also about trying to figure out who gossip girl is and why she has an obsession with this group of people. If you haven't seen it, who do you think it is?

'The 100'

This series has been going on for a couple years and for good reason. It is an intense show. It follows a space community who has to make the trek down to Earth, even though they believe it to be contaminated. There are 100 teenagers, who are delinquents, sent to Earth to see if it is livable. Which is why it's called The 100. They come to Earth knowing nothing and like most groups in a new environment resort to violence and ignorance. The are a lot of twists and turns and if you haven't seen it yet, it's definitely one you need to watch.

'Stranger Things'

If you haven't seen this, you've probably been living under a rock. But it follows a group of kids who are the outcasts of their school. One of them goes missing and the friends meet an unlikely girl who can help them find him. It is a dark show with many dark themes, but it shows camaraderie and love. It's a mix of emotions and terror. Definitely a show to watch during Halloween. The third season should be coming out soon!

'Legacies'

This show is like the mother of all spin-offs! If you watched The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, this is a spin-off of both series. It’s essentially their love child because it has some of the same characters and those children’s characters, from both shows. Hence love child! But it’s about the magical, supernatural children who are the spawns of those who played in previous series and how they are handling life at the Salvatore residence. It’s like X-Men but for the supernatural. It’s bound to be good and it comes out October 25! So look out for it!

'The Innocents'

Now I haven't seen this show, but the trailer looks really good! It's about teenage lovers who run away from their constricting families to be together. They start their adventure and then realize that there are supernatural things at play. What will they do with something that is within them, but trying to pull them apart? It's a series on Netflix and is already on so you can start watching now!

'Impulse'

This is a YouTube original series, so all the episodes are on there for you to watch! Which is nice because if you just have a computer it's hard to watch shows online sometimes! But this is a spin-off series from the movie Jumper. The concept being that at a certain you being jumping. Jumping to places you've been before. It's like teleporting but it has to be a place that you've seen or know. It follows a young girl who has dealt with seizures for most of her life and we find out that it's just a side effect of her rejecting her powers. You watch as she struggles trying to figure out her new found ability and the consequences that go behind it.

'Deadly Class'

Deadly Class comes out in January 2019, so we have to wait awhile, but it looks so legit. It's about a school that breeds assassins. It's based off a comic and has huge vibes of the anime Assassination Classroom. I loved the anime and I love shows where people are assassins because they are just so awesome! So be patient and wait because this is bound to be good!

'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'

This new version of Sabrina is coming to Netflix this October. It follows Sabrina, a teenage witch, who is half mortal and half human. On her sixteenth birthday she has to decide whether or not to follow her witch ancestry or follow the human path, but she must sell her name to the devil essentially. So we are watching to see what she does and how she handles this double life. I'm mostly excited for Salem. He's the sassiest cat in the land. It comes out October 28th.
