16 Shows We Couldn't Help but Binge-Watch in 2014

It's impossible to not get caught up in the awesomeness of having an entire season of a show to binge-watch, which is the best thing ever for cold afternoons, long weekends, or really any night of the week. But once you start, it's basically impossible to stop — and reaching the end of a series is seriously dramatic, leaving you feeling majorly distraught. You find yourself feverishly checking when the next season will be available while desperately trying to find another show to fill the empty void. It's a crazy cycle, but one that's oh so good. Check out the shows we couldn't help but binge-watch in 2014. Source: Netflix
