I love to laugh and these shows never disappoint!
Love this show, it's a classic must see and easy to binge on!
The Office (TV Series 2005–2013)
Such a funny show! All the characters are hilarious lol
Parks and Recreation (TV Series 2009–2015)
Andy Samberg is hilarious and all the other characters are great too.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (TV Series 2013–2021)
One of my favorite shows for sure. Such developed characters and each wacky adventure makes me laugh my butt off!
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV Series 2005– )
Could fit under comedies or dramas technically. A bit of dark humor. Enthralling plot though!
Beef (TV Series 2023
Investigate 311!! The episodes are so short that you can easily watch an entire season in a day. Sooo funny!
Watch The Eric Andre Show Streaming Online
Love this show, so good!
The Good Place (TV Series 2016–2020)
A classic hilarious show. The jokes build on one another throughout seasons, very well thought out.
Arrested Development (TV Series 2003–2019)
My son and I have been binging this, it's so silly. Love the nostalgia it gives me too.
iCarly (TV Series 2007–2012)
My son and I have been watching this too (we watched it before iCarly). It is interesting watching this after seeing Quiet on Set, poor Drake Bell.
Drake & Josh (TV Series 2004–2007)
This is a classic show. Talk about millennial childhood nostalgia lol. But also poor Amanda Bynes for whatever Dan Schneider put her through. Hope she keeps making art.
The Amanda Show - Nickelodeon - Watch on Paramount Plus
This show is so funny. Ted Danson is hilarious. I wish he was my grandpa lol.
A Man on the Inside (TV Series 2024– )
Animation
For adults who enjoy cartoons as much as I do!
One of my favorite shows ever. Bojack is a great anti-hero!
Watch BoJack Horseman | Netflix Official Site
It's pretty dark and messed up so beware if you have a sensitive soul. It helps that it's animation but definitely only for people who can handle incredibly dark humor.
Watch Mr. Pickles from Adult Swim
A classic since the 90s. Excellent for watching for 12 hours straight lol
South Park - Satirical Animated TV Show | Watch Free Episodes | South Park ...
Better than family guy imo, very easy to binge watch lol
American Dad! (TV Series 2005– )
Still a good series for binge watching even tho american dad is better.
Family Guy (TV Series 1999
Unfortunately this series was discontinued but its easy to watch the entirety of the show.
Watch Tuca & Bertie | Netflix Official Site
Such a funny and binge worthy show! John mulaney is hilarious.
Watch Big Mouth | Netflix Official Site
This is a pretty funny show, easy to binge watch. Not sure I'd binge it more than once tho.
Watch Chicago Party Aunt | Netflix Official Site
There's actually new Futurama soooo...that means you have to re-watch everything from the first episode in 1999. What a long running show! It's amazing so I'm not surprised lol.
Futurama (TV Series 1999
Drama
For something more serious. These shows all have great plots that will keep you on the edge of your seat for as long as you want to watch.
The first series is the best in my opinion but the other sister series in the Dexter universe are pretty good too.
Watch Dexter Streaming Online - Try for Free
A great show with lots of sub plots. If you like period pieces this is an interesting one. Not sure if its historically accurate but very entertaining.
Watch Bridgerton | Netflix Official Site
If you like medical dramas this one is great. Im not a doctor but I feel like theyre pretty medically accurate? I like the romantic drama and tension too.
Chicago Med - NBC.com
The best law and order of them all in my opinion. I love seeing especially heinous criminals put away. Sweet justice!
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (TV Series 1999– )
I watched one episode and was hooked!
Yellowjackets (TV Series 2021–2026)
Never played the video games and there's not a whole lot of episodes, but its very easy to binge the entire first season (speaking from personal experience lol)
Fallout (TV Series 2024
Love this show so much, the ending of each episode keeps you absolutely hooked. Also Frank Delfino may or may not be a big fictional crush of mine LOL
Watch How to Get Away With Murder
Spencer Reid is my favorite, so cute, such an amazing personality. Great show if you love abnormal psychology too.
Criminal Minds (TV Series 2005– )
Great plot and Bellamy Blake is sooooo cute lol
The 100 (TV Series 2014–2020)
This is a comedy too but definitely a lot of drama in this show, almost like a telanovella lol.
Weeds (TV Series 2005–2012)
Non-Fiction
Sometimes you just wanna watch about something real. These moments are few and far between for me but the recommendations here are definitely genuine enough to warrant their own section lol.
Love love love this!!
Watch Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey
Does it really get better than Morgan Freeman's voice slowly breaking your mind? Definitely suggest this lol.
