Animal Kingdom
This dark and twisted family crime series makes a solid binge — with six seasons of gritty drama, Animal Kingdom hooks you instantly and never lets you go. The TNT series follows the SoCal crime family, the Codys — led by matriarch Smurf (Ellen Barkin) — after her daughter dies of an overdose and her estranged grandson comes to live with them, learning the ins and outs of their illegal activities along the way. It's safe to say this show is as addicting as some of the Codys' favorite activities, if you catch our drift.
The Americans
GALLERY: 10 Best TV Episodes of 2016: THE AMERICANS Episode: "The Magic of David Copperfield V. The Statue of Liberty Disappears" Season 4, Episode 8 Air Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2016(l-r) Matthew Rhys as Philip Jennings, Keri Russell as Elizabeth Jennings

Former CIA officer Joe Weisberg's FX series redefined what it meant to subvert expectations when the espionage period drama debuted and made you root for the Russian spies living in America during the Cold War. Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys star on The Americans as two Soviet deep-cover agents posing as a married couple, living in Washington, D.C. with their unsuspecting, American-born children. And while their ruthless espionage exploits were fascinating to watch, it was their compelling day-to-day life as a married couple that made this a critical hit.

Based on the Israeli series On the Spectrum, Friday Night Lights' exec-producer Jason Katims' 8-episode dramedy As We See It follows three millennial roommates, Jack (Rick Glassman), Violet (Sue Ann Pien), and Harrison (Albert Rutecki) — who live on the autistic spectrum both on the show and in real life — learning to navigate through newfound independence, relationships, jobs, and fears. Through its saccharine yet authentic tone, this coming-of-age story opens your eyes to atypical narratives often underrepresented in Hollywood while also clouding your vision with tears.

Sometimes it's good to be bad, as evidenced by the Showtime drama Billions. Co-created by New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin and set in a post-crash New York City, the series follows a shady hedge fund boss and the U.S. Attorney trying to take him down in a thrilling cat-and-mouse struggle. Seasons 1 through 4 are free for Amazon Prime users, and the rest of the series is available with a Showtime add-on.

Bones
FOX's "Bones" - Season Eleven
Credit: FOX via Getty Images
This crime procedural — starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz — found the perfect mix of comedy and drama, as it followed the unlikely team-up of forensic anthropologist of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI special agent Seeley Booth. That's why Bones ran for a whopping 12 seasons on Fox! Creator Hart Hanson based the series on the very real relationship the FBI has with the scientists at the Smithsonian, as Bones and Booth worked together to solve murders — and, of course, grew closer as their working relationship turned into something more. Come for the graphically decaying bodies and science versus faith debates, stay for the sizzling sexual tension between Bones and Booth.

This Amazon original series is based on Michael Connelly's best-selling novels, and Connelly brought the onscreen adaptation of Bosch to life as well. Starring Titus Welliver as the titular Harry Bosch, an LAPD homicide detective, the police procedural has debuted seven seasons — and a spin-off series, Bosch: Legacy, in 2022 — making it a solid binge.
The Boys

Season 2 of The Boys went out with a bang, a whammo, and a kapow, proving in a way that Marvel could never dream that women do indeed get it done. The superhero dramedy also secured a surprise Outstanding Drama Emmy nomination in 2021, setting stakes and expectations even higher for season 3. Not to worry, however, as showrunner Eric Kripke brought a dayslong superhero orgy ripped straight from the extremely graphic novel's pages to the small screen. And he promised that wouldn't be the wildest thing to happen in season 3. Binge all seasons before its next.

Is there anything like an unexpected pregnancy to bring two relative strangers together? That's the premise of Amazon's much loved — if little-watched — romantic comedy Catastrophe, starring Sharon Hogan and Rob Delaney, who also co-wrote all four seasons of the show. Hogan, a schoolteacher in London, and Delaney, an ad exec in Boston, have a one-week stand that leads to a mass of complications. Originally broadcast by the U.K.'s Channel 4, but exclusive to Amazon in the U.S., Catastrophe earned a number of accolades, including a Peabody nomination, several BAFTA nominations — with Delaney and Hogan winning for their writing in 2016 — and two Primetime Emmy nominations. Carrie Fisher, in her last television role, played Delaney's mother, Mia.

Chuck

Another great espionage show worth checking out is Chuck, albeit for very different reasons. Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak's NBC series lands more on the comedy side of the genre spectrum. Starring Zachary Levi in his career-making turn as the nerdy, awkward IT guy Chuck Bartowski, the cult-classic series begins when he accidentally downloads thousands of encrypted images containing the combined secrets of the CIA and NSA into his brain, making him the most important asset to both government agencies. Watching Chuck evolve from a hapless fish out of water, thrown into life-or-death situations, into a superspy in his own right is just one of the many joys of this cult classic show. Watching him and his CIA handler Sarah Walker develop feelings for each other is even better.
Talent: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Josh Schwartz, Chris Fedak

Created by Julian Fellowes, this period drama charmed British and American viewers equally. The Downton Abbey series, which ran for six seasons and two movies (Community, eat your heart out!), chronicled the lives of the British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early twentieth century in a delightfully soapy upstairs/downstairs estate that gave PBS a critically acclaimed period-piece.

Armed with a team of superstar doctors, his diagnostic team solves the cases that other doctors can't.

What do you get when you take one of Hollywood's greatest actors and pit him against Nazis who have seamlessly integrated into American society? Amazon's violent yet charming Hunters is what EW TV critic Kristen Baldwin called a "strange, stunning, and darkly comic thriller," about a secret band of vigilantes hunting down Nazi war criminals over the world. Set in 1977, Al Pacino plays Meyer Hoffman, a wealthy Holocaust survivor, who's the leader of the shadow organization. When his old friend and colleague Ruth (Jeannie Berlin) is murdered, he takes her grandson Jonah (Logan Lerman) under his wing and teaches the kid the tricks of his trade. Though there's no premiere date yet for season 2, we do know that the hunt will be on for the biggest bad in history.

Grammy winner Lizzo, who is a pioneer for plus-size women in entertainment, hosts this six-time Emmy-nominated show where she searches for Big Grrrl background dancers (qualified enough to "f--- it up to the tempo") for her 90-minute set at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

This dark series is one of the rare times that pop culture has gotten hacking right, as it's widely praised by coders, cybersecurity firms, and hackers for its accurate depictions of hacking scenes. And the extremely unreliable narrator will constantly keep you guessing in the best way, since not even Elliot knows what's real.

Graeme Manson and John Fawcett's BBC series will leave you wondering: Did they really clone series star Tatiana Maslany? The acting phenom plays more than five different characters, each more distinctive and different than the last, in this sci-fi series about the moral, ethical, and psychological implications of cloning. The five-season drama begins when Sarah Manning witnesses the suicide of a woman who looks exactly like her. She assumes the woman's identity and slowly uncovers the shocking truth about her own life — and that of all the other clones of her in the world.

Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, Paper Girls meets 33-year-old Erin Teing (Ali Wong) crossing paths with her preteen self from 1988 (Riley Lai Nelet), along with her young posse of time-traveling newspaper pals. We've seen an '80s renaissance in media with projects like Stranger Things and the Fear Street trilogy, but its comic creators are here to give us a "death threat" to the romanticized decade, offering the phrase "killing time" a whole new meaning.

There's so much content, sometimes you blink and completely miss a worthwhile show. At a scant, highly-bingeable two seasons — 18 episodes in total — Patriot (2017–18) was, as EW TV critic Jeff Jensen said in his review, "a strikingly original dramedy." From Pursuit of Happyness scribe Stephen Conrad, Patriot follows secret agent John Tavner (Michael Dorman) as he bungles his way through a government plot to impede Iran's nuclear ambitions that involves working at a Milwaukee piping firm. Misunderstandings and shady dealings abound. Despite its spy-like low profile, Patriot managed to snag a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination for Best Comedy in 2017, losing out to Amazon's buzzier chuckle-fest, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present the show that turned an American actress into actual British royalty! Yes, the legal drama Suits is what introduced Meghan Markle to the world. But Aaron Korsh's long-running USA Network series was so much more than that, as it followed a New York City law firm after a talented college dropout starts working there as a law associate for one of the top lawyers, despite never having attended law school. As the two close case after case, maintaining the secret becomes more and more complicated.

When this teen supernatural reboot was first announced, people laughed it off. A modern-day retelling of Michael J. Fox's 1985 campy movie? There was no way it was going to be anything less than a joke. Then MTV debuted Jeff Davis' new series starring Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien, and everyone was proven wrong. Teen Wolf was dark, sexy, hilarious, and downright terrifying as it found new ways to give you nightmares all while making you root for the star-crossed relationships and best friendships at the center of it all. Plus, this is the show that gave us O'Brien's Void Stiles. If you don't understand what that means, start binge-watching this show. Especially before Paramount+ releases Teen Wolf: The Movie in 2023.

Vikings is basically the Game of Thrones for — you guessed it! — Vikings. The perfect intersection between historical fiction and fantasy, this long-running History series, created by Michael Hirst, is inspired by the sagas of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok and the Norse warriors of the 13th century. But don't expect a snoozefest history lesson; all six seasons are violently action-packed, full of breathtaking drama, and will hook you from the start. Beware, this binge is savagely addictive.

Think Lost combined with My So-Called Life with a splash of Lord of the Flies, but centered on teen girls and you've got this Prime Video original series The Wilds. The first season of this beautifully shot and tense drama is part survival drama, part dystopian slumber party, as The Wilds follows a group of teen girls from different backgrounds who must fight for survival after a plane crash strands them on a mysterious deserted island. As the castaways grapple with their new dire circumstances, they both clash and bond as they learn more about each other, the secrets they keep, and the traumas they've all endured. But what they don't know is the biggest twist of all: these girls did not end up on this island by accident.
