3 great TV shows you can watch on Netflix this week

Seasons: 1

Episodes: 12

Netflix knows how addictive HGTV is, and its new original "Amazing Interiors" satisfies that thirst. The interiors really are amazing: some resemble the Batcave while some are tacky or downright creepy. But it's a great show to have on while you're doing things around the house, and a nice escape after a long day at work.

Seasons: 7

Episodes: 171

The season and episode count for this CW teen drama looks overwhelming, but there's good news: you really only need to see up to season three or four. The first season of "The Vampire Diaries" starts off a bit cliche, but it builds into something great, especially in its excellent second season. The show uses horror elements that will actually make you jump, and because its characters are so grounded and well-written, you'll get invested in all the lame love triangles.
