According to a national company that tracks technology, the top 19 shows on Netflix for September of 2018 include “American Vandal,” “The Standups” and “Mindhunter.” Even though I have no reason to doubt the list from cnet.com, it does not seem to reflect the viewing tastes of Center Hill High School students.

For me personally, I have only heard of two of these shows. A lot of people I spoke to about Netflix hadn’t heard of or watched most of the shows on the top 19 either. I believe that the top 19 just doesn’t match our age group (14- to 18-year-olds).

I have watched a couple of episodes of “Orange is the New Black,” which is No. 5 on the list, and “Stranger Things,” which is ranked No. 19. But my top three favorite shows on Netflix – “Pretty Little Liars,” “Young and Hungry” and “The Client’s List” – didn’t even make the list.

The reasons why people like Netflix shows are as varied as the viewers themselves. I like to mix it up with different genres because it keeps me interested in watching different shows, and sometimes I am in a mood to watch a certain kind of genre. I enjoy watching shows that have a cliff hanger and keep me coming back.
