Binge worthy shows
I loveeee a good TV show! Most of these are available on multiple platforms, so hopefully they’re easy to find for you. These are all the shows that I’ve personally binge watched and enjoyed! Please please please share shows you like in the comments!...
GUYS - my very first encounter with this show was when a guy in college sent me a screenshot of the DENNIS method (IYKYK) long story short, he ended up apologizing and sent me $10 on Venmo to make it up to me lmao. But, this show is really funny tbh
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia | Hulu
This is my guilty pleasure show haha it's so great, but it also hurts so bad at times… My boyfriend hates it, but it's just one of those shows that you can binge watch for MONTHS and still have more to watch. I haven't even come near to being caught ...
Grey's Anatomy | Hulu
I wish I could watch this for the first time again!! We watched just about all the Marvel movies before watching this show, but it's cool how they bring in other well known characters. If you've enjoyed any of the Marvel movies, I truly believe that ...
Loki | Disney+
Hear me out, it's a great show! When my boyfriend recommended to watch it, I was hesitant because I thought it was a kids show… I have been proven wrong and this is another show I wish I could watch for the first time again!

Schitt's Creek | Hulu
Such a dramatic show! I was sucked into this show immediately and it had the strongest grip on me! Absolutely WILD!!
How to Get Away With Murder | Hulu
A good murder mystery / rom-com vibes. It's pretty impressive how this man can help solve the craziest cases with no prior experience - other than writing books! Have you seen it?
Castle | Hulu
I loved this show! Shawn is accused of committing a crime that he actually solved! He convinces the cops that he’s psychic, and he starts solving cases for the skeptical, but increasingly impressed, police force. Perfect mix of funny and suspenseful.
Psych | Prime Video
Chuck opens an email from his old college roommate and it immediately downloaded a ton of top secret government documents into his brain! Next thing we know, he has 2 secret agents there to protect him as he navigates through life working at a Best B...
Chuck | Prime Video
This is another guilty pleasure show of mine honestly. Such a great show!!
One Tree Hill | Hulu
My boyfriend and I have both worked with kids (I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher for a good few years) so it’s funny seeing what these characters experience on a daily basis. This show is hilarious!
Abbott Elementary | Hulu
The first season (Murder house) is the best in my opinion, but the following seasons were not bad! I’d say it’s worth watching.

Ohh such a good show! I've binge watched it at least twice now haha

Rick and Morty | Hulu
This is still in the que for me, but 4 individual friends have suggested it to me! Have you seen it?!
The Last of Us | Hulu
This show is so funny (and sometimes teeters the line of appropriate humor lol) my friends and I would use it as more of a background noise show in college while we did homework.
Family Guy | Hulu
Such a good show! There’s a lot of episodes so it took a few months to finish and it made me think about what happens after life… crazy!
The Good Place | Netflix
This is a whole new kind of show! You pick what happens so the ending changes based on your decisions. Have you seen any of these?
Black Mirror | Netflix
A true classic - plus some eye candy! There brothers are monster hunters and experience some really crazy things. I definitely recommend if you like spooky shows!
Supernatural | Netflix
This show is super suspenseful! It’s about a judge’s son who was involved in a hit-and-run accident, and it quickly turns into a web of lies and coverups. I haven’t finished it, but I know a few friends have watched it and recommended it before I sta...

This guy hunts down killers, and it gives you his perspective on how he connects the clues. It’s super interesting!
Dexter | Netflix
There is never a dull moment in this show! So funny and chaotic. There are good amount of episodes so it takes a while to finish!
Superstore | Hulu
Great show to watch when you’re under the influence (IYKYK). A space caster hosts a podcast inside his universe simulator, exploring existential questions about life, death, and everything in between. The show is absolutely crazy!
