TV watching habits have changed so much in the past 10 years. We used to all set our alarms for our favorite 8:00 shows on Thursday night and make sure we were sitting on the couch at that time so we didn't miss it. Now we have the freedom of the DVR and on demand TV like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. This is GREAT! It's also dangerous to start watching a really good show when you've got the following 21 episodes at your finger tips. I've set out in search of the best addictive TV shows you can watch for free (with a netflix, etc). I've got a great list for you!

Sleepy Hollow? Da Vinci's Demons? Covert Affairs? The Mentalist? Rizzoli & Isles? Marvel Agents of Shields? Once Upon A Time? Castle?
I could go on with shows I likem that are not on this BEST list and shows on it, I wouldn't ever recommend. To each their own.
