Hurricane Irma and its destruction has been one of the most discussed topics on South Florida news stations for weeks, and most Floridians are ready to move on. However, putting Irma in the past may not be the best idea just yet. The state is still recovering from the massive storm and several are still without power and internet. For a generation who entertains themselves with cat memes and absurd videos, this has left multiple students not knowing how to handle their free time without their beloved internet connection. With the storm still fresh in the minds of many, and the course of Hurricane Maria still yet to be determined, it is time to take action and abuse the available for download section on Netflix. Here are some of the top seven shows available for download on Netflix for your bingeing pleasure.

Riverdale

“Riverdale” is based off of the “Archie Comics” and follows a pack of teenage friends as they work together to survive high school, unruly families and solve a murder investigation. While only one season is available on Netflix, the second is set to air on “The CW” October 11. With romance, humor and thrill, “Riverdale” is a great watch.

Gossip girl

“Gossip Girl” takes place in New York and focuses on a group of elitist high schoolers whose lives revolve around an infamous blog site run by one of their peers, Gossip Girl, who continually releases their secrets online.

Wrong her, however, and you just might find yourself with none left to keep.
