Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

A few times a day I unintentionally break the law I would say. Since I am always driving and no one actually drives the speed limit, that would be a constant one. Sometimes I roll the dice and don’t wear a seatbelt if I am going somewhere close, so there is that. Using cell phone while driving…um yeah almost everyday, usually just to play music or get directions. I have gotten better about using voice commands for most of this though.

Don’t even get my started about taxes, there is a reason I do them myself. Online gambling….it doesn’t count if it is crypto right? Copyright infringement, probably everyday I teach or at least every week, a good teacher is a good thief they say….I don’t think it should count if it is for the kids??

I have not updated my driver’s license address since I moved three years ago, which technically is a crime. Sharing Medication….not all the time, but not never. Jaywalking is practically a sport for me; I almost never use crosswalks. 

How do I get away with all of this lawbreaking, well I do my homework of course! Here are ten of my favorite Netflix crime and punishment television series.


Top Ten Netflix Crime and Punishment Shows

  1. Mindhunter – A crime drama series that follows FBI agents as they study and interview serial killers to understand their mindset.
  2. Narcos – Based on the real-life stories of drug lords, the series explores the rise and fall of the infamous drug cartels.
  3. Breaking Bad – A high school chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine manufacturer navigates the criminal underworld.

  1. So, in your opinion, did Steven Avery do it?

    1. I think so..the Netflix series seems to of omitted some key evidence.

  2. I used to love watching the House and the Mentalist with my mom on HBO, I don’t remember the channel exactly.

    1. What is the House about? Was the Mentalist like a Sherlock Holmes type of show?

      1. The House is a medical drama series emphasizing the expertise of Dr. Gregory House part played by Actor Huge Laurie.
        The Mentalist is a psychological thriller drama series revolving around the character Patrick Jane(Simon Baker) and Teressa Lisbon(Robin Tunney).
        I thoroughly loved both the shows. Exited to re-watch them on Amazon prime and Netflix 😊

      2. Lol, I thought you meant “The House”, it sounded like a cool horror mystery thriller. Laurie is amazing in House, I agree!

        I will have to check that oke out!

      3. Haha my apologies. Yes, forever a fan of his work😊

      4. No worries, thanks for the comment!

      5. You are most welcome! Have a great day/night ahead 😊🙏

  3. I’ve watched 5 of the shows you listed, with Better Call Saul being my favorite. I’ve watched most shows on Prime Video and Netflix, but I’ve dabbled in Hulu, HBOMax, and freevee.

    When I watch a show, I binge watch it. So I usually wait until a show or season has finished. I loved BCS enough to watch a season and then wait forever for the next one.

    1. Better Call Saul cracks me up…good old Slippin’ Jimmy!

  4. I loved Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul!

    1. They are so engaging and addicting!

      1. Yes, I have rewatched both series many times!
