10 Television shows that need to take over your life.

 Nothing screams student life more than a television box-set. The box-set is the new Pot Noodle, and there is a box-set out there to satisfy everyone's palette. Here is a neatly, organised list of ten television shows that you need to watch in order to be a lonely, pathetic, gay man who eats a lot of ice cream.

 10. 30 Rock

The world would be a pretty shit place without Tina Fey. She is a comedic mastermind and there is a constant smile on my face when I watch 30 Rock because of her. Liz Lemon is me. I am Liz Lemon. Liz Lemon is life.

9. Adventure Time

I'm very particular when it comes to cartoons I consider watchable, let alone enjoyable. The cartoons of your own generation are always the best, but there is something about Adventure Time. With a talking dog, a lumpy space princess, a talking cinnamon bun and a princess made of bubble gum, you can't go wrong.

8. Teen Wolf

I'm guessing 70% of you are rolling your eyes right now. Don't judge a television series by it's name. Teen Wolf is addictive, and I need a new prescription.

7. American Horror Story

I'm in love with American Horror Story. The new Coven edition of the show is my favourite series out of the three so far. It's scary, sexy and sassy all at the same time. Emma Roberts and Jessica Lange are amazing in this show.

6. Looking

This television show isn't even a week old and I can tell I'm going to enjoy it immensely. It's about a bunch of gay guys who live in San Francisco and are looking for love. What's not to like? Plus it looks like it's filmed using Instagram. BONUS!

5. The Simple Life

Yes, I put 'The Simple Life' high on my list. No, I do not go and see a doctor. You do.

4. Modern Family

Modern Family has one of the biggest hearts in television. I could watch Modern Family for 75% of my life and die a happy man.

3. Breaking Bad

The hype is real. Breaking Bad made me laugh, cry and cry laughing. If you haven't started binge watching Breaking Bad then there is something wrong with you. It is the definition of great television.

2. RuPaul's Drag Race

Who doesn't want to watch a dozen men dress up as women compete for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar? RuPaul's Drag Race is everything and I've even thought about becoming a drag queen just so I can go on Drag Race, until I realise that I do not have the balls for it (even if I don't really need them)

1. Orange is The New Black

This is the best television show I've ever watched. The story lines are impeccable and the acting is amazing. If you watch one episode, you'll be on episode twenty by the following day. You can't stop and you won't stop because you're Miley Cyrus human.

It's Not Me, It's Ru

It took me a very long time and a very stressful essay crisis to get into RuPaul's Drag Race. After seeing a whole lot of gays go crazy on tumblr and a lot of essay procrastination to do, I decided to dedicate a whole three days to television gold. A couple weeks later, and I've seen every single episode to every single series. I can't even imagine a world without a completely unnecessary but absolutely compulsory 'lip-synch for your life'. Questioning pronouns has never been a bigger part of my life and I absolutely love it.

I never understood the fascination with Drag Queens or why anyone would pay good money to see some man make some dick jokes, whilst miming to Britney Spears dressed as a woman. But now I am one of those people who recently bought a ticket for 'The Real Lady Boys of Bangkok' and cannot fucking wait to go. Of course, I cannot assume that every single gay person will love Drag Race, I'm sure a lot of them despise the show, but there is no denying that it has a huge impact on popular and gay culture. The Queens that enter end up preforming all over the world in gay clubs, pride parades and even festivals or big events. Even straight people love the show because it's probably the most competitive and entertaining reality television show out at the moment. All these Queens are desperate to win a life supply of make-up, a holiday and a hundred thousand dollars (who wouldn't?).

 Even though everyone is competitive, no-one takes it seriously. Not even Ru-Paul. It's honestly a bigger joke than Amanda Bynes' acting comeback. THEY LIP-SYNCH FOR THEIR LIVES GODDAMMIT. It's an obvious parody of Project Runway or Next Top Model, but in the best possible way. All the queens make their own clothes, they do their own make up, their hair always looks flawless. When you're watching it, it just feels like a big hug from Christopher Biggins. The endless puns, the one-liners, the catchphrases and the amazing bitchiness are the bait that will eventually reel you in. You will end up laying there with the fishy Queens at the fish market, in the metaphorical supermarket of RuPaul. Also, The false-sense of drama in this show is just so... lovely.

 It's the only reality TV show in the world not to give a fuck which makes us give a fuck. The winner may win a cash sum of $100,000, but even the winner will go back to performing in gay clubs after the show and everyone knows that. Yes, they will probably play the best gay night clubs in the world, but a night club is a night club. The show doesn't care if you don't know what 'ki-ki' or 'shade' means, because it's a show for gay people and gay lovers. The show is on the only US gay network 'Logo', and RuPaul is probably the only straight crossover hit on that network because it's pretty much amazing and there's this overwhelming hype. I can confirm that the hype, is infact, real. If you think I'm an idiot for loving this show, or have not seen one episode, clip or even GIF. I have two words for you.
