Students randomly interviewed for this article about their favorite TV shows said they were too busy to watch the home screen for regularly scheduled TV shows, but some did say that they watch Netflix when they could.<\/p>\n

The 2017 fall semester was coming to a close as this article was being completed and some students interviewed talked about their Netflix experience. Sarah Beaglehole, 21, a psychology major, said she was recently catching up on the series Dexter on Netflix in her spare time. The celebrated cable series, a Showtime monster of a hit running from October 2006 to September 2013 before eventually being picked up by Netflix, is about a serial killer who kills serial killers. It was recommended to Beaglehole by a friend. \u201cI like that it is different than any kind of show I\u2019ve seen before,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Beaglehole is a psychology student who enjoys the psychological aspects of the show, which include the motives for homicidal and murderous action by the main character, Dexter, played by Michael C. Hall. This is one of the few shows she watches. In the series, Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood spatter expert. Beaglehole said she has also has used Netflix to watch \u201cBeauty and the Beast,\u201d about a daddy\u2019s girl who ventures out on her own and falls in love with a rich but ugly beast who has imprisoned her.<\/p>\n

Beaglehole said she loves the special effects. \u201cThe only reason I only watch Netflix is because the only time I have to watch anything is weekends and in between classes,\u201d she said. \u201cMost of the time I\u2019m studying or volunteering at the animal shelter. I\u2019m in school five times a week, volunteer one time and Sundays are my family lazy days.\u201d She was interviewed near the escalator son the third-floor of the West Building where she wore a black sweater, black flats, jeans and a black backpack.<\/p>\n

Jacob Levintess, 19, a history major, said he primarily watches Netflix to get his TV fix. “I\u2019m watching The Office and the movie The Big Short,\u201d he said. The Office is a humorous depiction of what happens every day in a supposedly typical business office. It still has an enormous fan base. \u201cThe Big Short is about how businessmen used the economy to make money,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Office may be for humor, but The Big Short is more on the serious side.”<\/p>\n

Said Levintess, “I don\u2019t have time for television. I work at a warehouse once a week and the rest of the time I\u2019m doing schoolwork for four classes in addition to being president of the International Club at Hunter.\u201d He was interviewed on the third floor of the West Building by the library and wore brown shoes, jeans, striped sweater and a blue backpack. Mariya Lyampart, 22, an accounting major, said she watches several shows. One is Modern Family that he said offers a funny perspective about family life; The Middle, about a family of five and their shenanigans; and Lucifer, AKA the original fallen angel, AKA Satan, who has become dissatisfied with his life in hell, according to publicity. After abandoning his throne and retiring to Los Angeles, Lucifer indulges in his favorite passions: Wine, women and song.<\/p>\n

“If I miss an episode, I watch it online right away. I don\u2019t work right now, so I have a lot of time to watch television, even with schoolwork to do,\u201d she said. She focuses solely on her studies. She wore a black jacket with jeans and black shoes at the interview in the library on the third floor of the East Building.<\/p>\n

Raffaella Eydelman, 22, enrolled in the undergraduate nursing program, said, \u201cI watch Grey\u2019s Anatomy and Law and Order.\u201d She also said, \u201cI watch Law and Order because it is interesting and the story lines allow me to relax.” She also said, \u201cThe first half of the show concentrates on the investigation of the crime by the police, the second half follows the prosecution of the crime in court. On the other side, I\u2019m watching Grey\u2019s Anatomy because it is helping me understand things that I am learning in my nursing program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grey\u2019s Anatomy is a medical drama about happenings in a hospital, which Eydelman said she can relate to. Eydelman watches this for pleasure. \u201cSometimes, because of my workload, I can\u2019t watch it on the day the new episode comes on, so I record it,\u201d she said. She wore a red shirt, a back pack, jeans, and a hat, and was interviewed on the third floor East Building.<\/p>\n
