On Sunday night, the Kardashians joined some 70 million others and countless exes by getting a Netflix account. It seems odd that the royal family has been holding out for years, saving $15 a month but living in a bleak, stream-less world. But finally, the case of Steven Avery made the Kardashian-Jenners see the light. Turns out it was the much-discussed new true crime series, Making a Murderer, that finally made Kim break down and sign up.

If Kim's anything like the rest of us, she and the fam will devour Making a Murderer in only a few short days, and then she'll have the rest of her life to stream more TV shows and movies. Surely, she—and the whole family—will need some suggestions for what to watch. Luckily for them, we've put together a binge list for each Kardashian-Jenner, from Kim to Kanye to Kylie.

Kim Kardashian

  • Hot Girls Wanted

  • Welcome to Me

  • The One I Love

  • Black Mirror

  • 30 Rock

  • Queen of Versailles

It's safe to say Kim owes her success to reality TV, which is why her list is full of shows and movies that address what's real and what's fake, especially when it comes to what's on our screens—amateur porn included (you know, something Kim kind of knows a thing or two about). Always down to get deep, shows like Black Mirror will have Kim asking pretty introspective questions to Kris and Khloe about the current state of entertainment...while Kanye sits in the background like:

 

Kourtney Kardashian

  • Property Brothers

  • House Hunters

  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  • Marvel's Jessica Jones

  • New Girl

  • Extreme Homes

  • Parks and Recreation

Kourtney's pragmatism manifests itself in her love for home design, so she'd love real estate shows like Property Brothers and House Hunters. But also newly single, Kourtney needs some of that good strong female character action to cheer her up—give her a little dose of Jessica Jones and Buffy and she'll be good.

Khloé Kardashian

  • Friday Night Lights

  • How to Get Away With Murder

  • Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce

  • American Horror Story

  • Orange Is the New Black

  • X-Files

  • Narcos

You get the sense that Khloé gets bored easily. If it's not action-packed and full of cliffhangers, pretty sure Khloé's just gonna hit the "Back" button and go to the next thing. So we put a lot of high-action drama on this list, including bizarro, who-knows-what's-going-to-happen-next shows. And of course, because of her (three-hour) jail stint, we had to mix in some jail narratives.

Kanye West

  • Master of None

  • Moonrise Kingdom

  • Top Gun

  • Snowpiercer

  • ​Amélie

  • Night at the Roxbury

  • Chef's Table

Kanye's list contains work from people he's professed to admire—Aziz Ansari, Tom Cruise, Will Ferrell—as well as some other shows/movies that have a unique aesthetic. Kanye is visual-first, so everything on this list had to pass the "mute test"—they're all visually striking enough to be worthy of Kanye's attention. Okay, maybe not Night at the Roxbury, but I just feel like he'd vibe with Chris Kattan for some reason.

Kendall Jenner

  • Cosmos

  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

  • One Direction: Clevver's Ultimate Fan Guide

  • Freaks and Geeks

  • Wet Hot American Summer

  • Planet Earth

Kendall has a lot to learn as she goes from big city to big city. Luckily for her, in 2016 you don't really need a traditional upbringing to learn about the ins and outs of the world. If you have a Netflix account, it can teach you everything you missed about high school, summer camp, the foundation of the universe, and of course, that boy band with that guy you've hooked up with a bunch of times.

Kylie Jenner

  • Futurama

  • Californication

  • Weeds

  • Skins

  • Bojack Horseman

  • American Dad

Kylie is too busy being a teenager and living her crazy life to really binge that much, but she does need some shows to watch at 4 a.m. when she and Tyga get back from a night out. So Kylie, here's a mix of stoner cartoons and shows about people having sex and doing drugs in and around the Los Angeles area. That seems relatable enough.

Kris Jenner

  • Scandal

  • House of Cards

  • Breaking Bad

  • Top of the Lake

  • Grace and Frankie

  • Mad Men

Whether or not Kris can stay up all night Netflix & Chilling with her much younger man, when Kris sets her mind to something she makes it happen. That's why these hyper-addictive shows like House of Cards and Scandal will be perfect for her and Corey. They can camp out in Calabasas for days at a time ordering food in and deciding that one more episode isn't going to hurt. Also, Kris can learn some Machiavellian shit from Frank Underwood that will help her be a better momager. *taps massive ring on wood desk*
