Netflix TV shows experiencing a golden age, but there are some drawback to this excess of entertainment. How is it possible to choose just one show to watch?

After Netflix removed fan favorites including “How I Met Your Mother” and “One Tree Hill,” teenagers all over the country have to ponder the question: What should we watch on Netflix next? 

Luckily, here’s is a compilation of favorite teen shows, ranging from dramas to whimsical sitcoms and everything in between.

Stranger Things

If you are one of the few people that has not indulged in the worldwide phenomenon “Stranger Things,” start now.

The Netflix original series is set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the ’80s.

In the story, a young boy disappears amid supernatural events in the town — including the appearance of a girl with psychokinetic abilities that helps the missing boy’s friends, mother and local police save him.

“Stranger Things” is full of nostalgic references to ’80s that hit each detail right on the nose. “Stranger Things” has it all from pop-rock dance music to iconic fashion statements — mom jeans  and shoulder pads of course. 

Season one and two are both available to stream on Netflix.  

Riverdale

“Riverdale” took the teenage world by storm when it first aired earlier this year on Jan. 26.

“Riverdale” is a coming of age show that follows the characters as they explore their sexuality, handle parental constraint and the other baggage that comes with being an adolescent.

Based on the “Archie Comics,” the show follows Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) and his gang as they explore the darkness behind their seemingly perfect small town of Riverdale.

Season one of “Riverdale” is on Netflix right now, and season two is on the CW every Wednesday at 8pm. The second season’s episodes that have already aired are available on the CW website.

Girlboss

The Netflix original series “Girlboss”,  documents the life of rebellious and broke Sophia (Britt Robertson), who stumbles into creating an online eBay store selling vintage clothes. Sophia becomes an unlikely businesswoman in the process. As her business grows, she must learn to cope with life as her own boss.

The show is loosely based on the true story of Nasty Gal, a clothing store founded by Sophia Amoruso, and her best selling memoir #GirlBoss.

Although it is racy, the inspiring TV show sends an encouraging message to girls about being an independent woman — not only in the fashion world but in life.

The show is recommended for children 14 and up, as it contains sexual content.

The one season show is available to watch on Netflix.

Atypical

“Atypical” is a heartfelt and comedic Netflix original that follows Sam (Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum.

In the show, Sam has decided he is ready for romance. In order to start dating, and hopefully find love, Sam will need to be more independent. His desire to explore love also sends his mother, Elsa (Jennifer Jason Leigh), on her own life-changing path.

There are very few shows or movies which highlight and portray autism as a focus, which gives the show an incomparable uniqueness.

 Season one is available to binge watch on Netflix and the show has recently been renewed for a second season.
