Netflix's Guiltiest Pleasures: 7 Mindless Shows That Suck You Right In

Sometimes, we are so stressed and anxious that we want to shut off our brains and cease our constant overthinking for a bit. Unfortunately, during these moments, it can be hard to focus on anything, and we seek to distract ourselves with something simple or even simplistic.

Luckily, Netflix offers a vast selection of goofy shows. Here's a list of series that have a very good chance of becoming your new guilty pleasures. They are immediately addictive and will help you forget about the outside world and your concerns.

7. The Mick (2017, 2 seasons)

The plot centers around a tough woman who is unafraid to speak the truth and smoke cigarettes in public. She is forced to relocate to the small yet affluent town of Greenwich, Connecticut, to look after the children of her sister, who has had to flee the U.S. due to federal charges. However, the kids are a far cry from being a blessing.

6. Trailer Park Boys (2001, 12 seasons)

If you're in the mood for a chaotic and hilarious adventure reminiscent of The Office, this Canadian mockumentary is an excellent choice. The story focuses on three ludicrous underdogs living in a trailer park, attempting to make money through petty crime, which seldom works.

5. Manifest (2018, 4 seasons)

Sometimes, supernatural dramas are just what we need, and we end up binge-watching them from start to finish. Manifest follows airplane passengers who land in New York City only to discover their flight has been missing for five years.

4. The Magicians (2015, 5 seasons)

This urban fantasy series follows students who discover that magic is not only present in children's books but also in reality upon enrolling at a university. This revelation poses both a powerful potential and a real threat to humanity.

3. Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020, 1 season)

This show is certainly one of the most ridiculous on the list! The story revolves around two 16-year-old twin sisters who, under the guidance of a tough mentor, become bounty hunters to pay off their family's debts. At the same time, they try to navigate the typical teenage life of high school girls.

2. Insatiable (2018, 2 seasons)

The plot follows a high school student who was the victim of fatphobic bullying. Everything changes when a liquid diet transforms her body, and she becomes the client of a civil attorney turned beauty pageant coach. The show is silly, cringe-inducing, and entertaining.

1. Jane the Virgin (2014, 5 seasons)

Jane the Virgin follows a devout Venezuelan-American woman who vows to maintain her virginity until marriage. However, things take a turn for the worse when a doctor accidentally inseminates Jane, and it turns out that the biological father is her wealthy boss, for whom this is his only chance to have children.
