Yesss! This is definitely one of my favorite shows. A great, heartwarming story with an AMAZING cast. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it'll make your heart jump out of your chest… this series has it all. Don't miss out and go binge it!
Atypical (2017-2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Hands down one of the most underrated shows out there. It's very fast paced so you're never bored. Lots of action (and nudity), but it's such a good show. If you're thinking about watching this, don't think. Just watch it.
Banshee (2013–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I did not expect to like this as much as I did, but it was really good. Brillant performances from the entire cast, and such a good mystery. I enjoyed both season 1 and season 2.
Big Little Lies (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
HELL YES. This is popular for a reason and it's so worth the hype. There's a lot going on in every episode so you're never bored. Plus the character development (for all characters) is amazing. You can't call yourself a fan of TV shows if you've neve...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I did NOT expect to like this show so much, but it was AMAZING. Each season had its own “mystery” and they were all so exciting. Great acting from the cast – even the weaker actors did good. It deserved a season 5 (and more!). Please watch this!
Devious Maids (2013–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture

Killing Eve (2018–2022)

Lucifer (2016–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show is absolutely amazing. The mystery-driven plot is fascinating, and every episode pulls you in and keeps you guessing. I’m really glad Netflix picked it up and gave the story the ending it deserved. It’s one of my all-time favorite shows, an...

Agent Carter (2015–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Hands down one of the best shows out there. I’m sad I waited so long to watch it, but it’s now one of my favorite series. The characters are fantastic, and the plot is exciting from start to finish. Even if you’re not a Marvel fan, this is a really f...

Merlin (2008–2012)

I remember watching Monk on TV when I was younger and thinking Adrian Monk was hilarious. Once streaming became a thing, I finally rewatched the entire series—and it completely lived up to my memories. It’s now one of my all-time favorite shows. I us...
Monk (2002–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I know it’s technically a teen show, but I loved it. It was fast-paced, exciting, and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I’m a huge fan of immersive sci-fi/fantasy, and this series really delivered with strong world-building and well-deve...
Motherland: Fort Salem (2020–2022)

This is one of my all-time favorite shows. Maggie Q is a total powerhouse and truly shines in spy shows and movies. The supporting cast is just as strong, and the plot stays engaging throughout every season. It’s easily one of the best action TV show...
Nikita (2010–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I really loved this show, even though it had its flaws. The plot was unique, and even though it shifted in a different direction as the series went on, it still worked. The characters were well developed, and even the villains became some of the most...
Once Upon a Time (2011–2018)

This is easily one of the best shows ever made. The plot is incredible—smartly written, exciting, and perfectly wrapped up by the end. And the cast? Tatiana Maslany is phenomenal, bringing all her characters to life flawlessly. She’s truly one of the...
Orphan Black (2013–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was SO good and deserved so much more. It was naturally funny, and the cast had amazing chemistry. I’m genuinely upset it was canceled after just one season, because it ended up being one of my favorite shows. If you're wondering if you should w...
Pivoting (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love this show, and it’s absolutely worth watching if you enjoy history-based series. It may not be historically accurate, but it’s still really engaging. The cast did an amazing job, and the chemistry was great. It does lean more toward a teen aud...
Reign (2013–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Even though I’m not usually a fan of procedural shows, I really enjoyed this one. The stories were strong, and the chemistry between the cast was off the charts. It’s a long series and definitely requires a time commitment, but it’s absolutely worth ...
Rizzoli & Isles (2010–2016)

I don’t care if this is considered a teen show—it’s amazing, and I love it. It has the perfect balance of comedy and mystery, and I absolutely loved the fantasy elements. The cast was spot-on, and even though season three moved things into a new dire...
Siren (2018–2020)

This is so good. Such a fresh and twisted story, and I loved seeing the two different perspectives of the mother and girlfriend. The acting is top-notch, and the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat. An excellent show for anyone who lov...
The Girlfriend (2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
So good and so funny. The Good Place is a masterpiece. Surprisingly deep for a 30-minute comedy, it’ll make you laugh, cry, and laugh again. Definitely watch it if you get the chance.
The Good Place (2016-2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I think this was my first Netflix original show, and it’s now one of my all-time favorites. It’s brilliantly written, with a pace that’s perfect—just enough to keep you engaged the whole way through. The cast is amazing, especially Anya Taylor-Joy, a...
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did, but it turned out to be really good. It has just the right mix of craziness and humor. Every character has their own charm and quirks, but you end up growing attached to them all. With music, religion, c...
The Righteous Gemstones (2019–2025)

I absolutely love this show. It has everything I love and it's so good. The characters are fantastic, and the character development is really well done. If it feels slow at the beginning, just wait—it gets amazing as the story progresses. The only do...
The Royals (2015–2018)

★★★★

Great: Shows I really enjoyed and recommend checking out.

 
Miya Chan profile picture
Funny and relatable. The acting was pretty average, but the cast had great chemistry. Worth a watch.
2 Broke Girls (2011-2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I picked this out to watch randomly so I had no expectations. It ended up being pretty interesting. Some people say it's similiar to Squid Game. I recommend watching it in original audio with subtitles, not dubbed.
3% (2016–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I binge watched this. The fact that it's based on a true story sends shivers down my spine. Overall, a really good miniseries with a talented cast.
A Friend of the Family (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Unexpectedly good. Good music, good cast, and generally likeable characters. Worth a watch if you are into Marvel, or have been following the movies.
Agatha All Along (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Just finished this recently and I can see why it's popular. There were some good parts and some not so good parts, but overall worth a watch.
Alias (2001–2006)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This one was unexpectedly good. Pretty good acting all around, and great story. Recommend.
Alias Grace (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn't expect to like this, but I really did! It's cute, and the perfect coming of age story. Worth a watch!
Anne with an E (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A show with a fresh idea but unfortunately cancelled too soon. It was funny, chaotic, and generally very interesting. Worth a watch if you're looking for a good show.
Based on a True Story (2023–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I enjoyed this, mainly because of the cast. They had great chemistry. The plot was kind of cheesy at times, but worth a watch if you are into this kind of sci-fi.
Beauty and the Beast (2012–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A fantastic mini-series! It keeps you guessing and has a nice twist. Worth watching at least once.
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I read the synopsis for this show and immediately wanted to watch it. It did not disappoint. The characters were all interesting in their own way, and while the show is not perfect, it's definitely one worth checking out.
Blindspot (2015–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Ok, so this was unexpectedly good and I'm upset that it's not more popular. It's got a great cast with a great plot. Really wish it was picked up for season 3.
Bomb Girls (2012–2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I really enjoyed this one! It's funny, it's clever, it has a good cast, and the music is good. I'm sad they cancelled it. Worth a watch!
BrainDead (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Hayley Atwell, but it ended up being really good. The idea is pretty fresh and the writing is clever. It's too bad it was cancelled before it had a chance to become popular.
Conviction (2016–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Chris Evans, but it turned out to be a really good show. Very intriguing and mysterious, and of course the acting was good too. Worth a watch.
Defending Jacob (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A very good British show. I love how “realistic” this was – they didn't try to make the main character unrealistically strong or whatever. She was very real. The cast did an amazing job and it's definitely a show I'll remember for a long time.
Doctor Foster (2015-2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I actually watched this before I watched Buffy so I had no idea who Eliza Dushku was at that time. I wanted to watch this show because the plot interested me. The storyline was fresh and new for its time, and the cast did an amazing job. This show is...
Dollhouse (2009–2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It's always nice to see Kat Dennings on TV. I watched this shortly after 2 Broke Girls because I saw Hulu was permanently removing it. This was so much fun. It's a weird show… but like, weirdly enjoyable. I recommend binge watching this.
Dollface (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was such a cute little show. The storyline was intriguing, the pacing was great, and it kept me hooked from start to finish. I really wish it had a second season!
Emergence (2019–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Eureka is a must-watch sci-fi TV show! With 5 full seasons and a satisfying ending, it delivers a unique mix of science, humor, and drama. The characters are well-developed, and you quickly grow attached to them all. Perfect for fans of clever, chara...
Eureka (2006–2012)

What an amazing show! The concept feels fresh, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well the story unfolds. It’s unfortunate it was canceled early, as there was so much more story to explore. Nevertheless, it’s a great watch and definitely worth che...
Finding Carter (2014–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is an amazing, truly unique show! It delivers everything you could want—pain, grief, sadness, humor, and drama—while staying incredibly realistic. One of the few shows that captures real-life emotions so well. Definitely worth watching, and I wi...
Fleabag (2016–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Loved this show! As an Asian-American, I found it both relatable and funny. Each character has a distinct personality, which makes watching their storylines develop really enjoyable. I’ll admit the show was going downhill near the end, but overall, i...
Fresh Off the Boat (2015–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show was such a fun watch! The storyline was interesting and packed with plenty of laughs. Ruby was my favorite, though all the characters had their own charm. I wish there had been another season. Definitely worth checking out!
Good Girls (2018–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Grimm was recommended to me by a friend after I mentioned Once Upon a Time. I wasn’t hooked at first, but the show really picked up as the seasons went on. By the end, I was attached to all the characters. It’s a bit longer than my usual shows, but d...
Grimm (2011-2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show doesn’t get enough attention. Great spy action, a fun mystery, and an amazing performance from Esmé Creed-Miles. Definitely worth watching.
Hanna (2019–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect to enjoy this show as much as I did, but it was fantastic! The storyline is engaging, and every character brings something unique to the table. Each season has its own charm, making it perfect for fans of short, high-quality British d...
Happy Valley (2014–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect to like this show so much, but it surprised me! The plot was fresh and unique, and the characters had such a fun, youthful team spirit. With stars like Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka, it had all the makings of a teen favorite back in...
Hellcats (2010–2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Absolutely loved this show! It’s funny, relatable, and has everything I look for in a series. I’m so sad it wasn’t renewed for another season, especially since there were still plenty of unfinished storylines. Definitely worth watching!
How To Die Alone (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
One of the first shows I ever watched, and I really enjoyed it. The cast is fantastic, and the story really makes you reflect on human nature and emotions. It’s severely underrated and honestly deserved a few more seasons.
Humans (2015–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Why was this so good though? It had the perfect mix of humor and chaos. I went into it expecting something cheesy and forgettable—just something to watch to kill time—but I ended up completely invested. I definitely recommend this one, especially if ...
Impastor (2015–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a mess… but I shamelessly enjoyed every second of it. There were tons of dumb moments and plot holes, yet somehow it still managed to work. If you just want something entertaining and chaotic to watch, this one is a solid pick.
In the Dark (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I absolutely loved watching Into the Badlands! The martial arts action is incredible, and the story kept me completely hooked. The cast is fantastic, and the fight scenes are unlike anything I’ve seen on TV. I do wish it had lasted a bit longer to wr...
Into the Badlands (2015–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
What a fresh idea for a show! It was not at all what I expected. I thought it would be a comedy, but it was actually much darker. There are not a lot of shows on domestic abuse, and this one does a great job portraying it without going over the top. ...
Kevin Can F**k Himself (2021–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of the first shows I ever watched, and I really enjoyed it. I’ve never been that into sci-fi before, but this show kept me hooked. Each character was unique in their own way and written very well. Worth a watch if you're into sci-fi or s...
Killjoys (2015–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a pretty popular show back when it was released and I can see why. Even though it's considered a teen show, I found it interesting as an adult. It had so many great moments, and the mystery was really good. I just wish it had an ending. Too ...
Kyle XY (2006–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I went into this not expecting much, but it turned out to be a fantastic mini-series. The show is raw and deeply realistic, shedding light on the treatment of women during that era. Brie Larson is phenomenal, and it’s honestly shocking that this seri...
Lessons in Chemistry (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Like many others, I watched this for Elizabeth Olsen – and she was outstanding. This miniseries is gripping from start to finish, and it’s easy to forget that it’s based on a true story. Definitely worth watching if you’re looking for something binge...
Love & Death (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was hilarious. If you're a fan of Mr. Bean or British comedy, this is gold. Rowan Atkinson never disappoints.
Man Vs Bee (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I'm not usually a fan of medical shows, but I liked this one. The cases were interesting and different from most shows. It's a pretty underrated show, and it was unfortunately cancelled after 1 season, but it's worth watching.
Miami Medical (2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I ended up binge-watching this in a single day. I thought it would be a simple, everyday-life kind of story, but it was far more layered and emotional, with lots of highs and lows. Kate Winslet and Evan Rachel Wood were both fantastic.
Mildred Pierce (2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this as a kid and thought it was hilarious, and rewatching it as an adult, it still holds up as one of the funniest shows in my opinion. Sometimes simple really is best.
Mr. Bean (1990-1995)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A friend recommended this, and it’s fantastic. There aren’t many shows like it—tackling such important issues, especially for its time. It’s incredibly emotional; you’ll laugh, cry, and then laugh again. Truly a gem.
My Mad Fat Diary (2013–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect this show to be so good, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The cast feels fresh and delivers strong performances across the board. The storyline stays consistent, and the mysteries are engaging and well-executed from start t...
Nancy Drew (2019–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A very unique show with a creative plot. Natasha Lyonne was amazing, and each episode was interesting on its own. I’m sad it was canceled on a cliffhanger, but it’s still worth watching.
Poker Face (2023–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is such an underrated show that truly deserved so much more attention. The storyline keeps you hooked from start to finish, and the characters are all uniquely written and well-developed. If you’re looking for a hidden gem with strong writing an...
Pushing Daisies (2007-2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A lot of people didn’t like this one, but I thought it was really good. Each season had its own intriguing mystery, and even though the third season threw a bit of a wrench into things, the show overall is still strong and worth watching.
Quantico (2015–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’m not sure if this is meant to be a kids’ show, but I still really loved it. I found it super interesting, and the mystery kept me hooked. If you enjoy family-friendly sci-fi shows, this one is definitely worth watching.
Raising Dion (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect to enjoy this show as much as I did, but it’s definitely a hidden gem that doesn’t get enough attention. It’s funny, raw, and refreshingly real. I just wish it were longer—two seasons really isn’t enough.
SMILF (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of the first shows I ever watched, and I loved it so much. I was really disappointed when it got canceled without a proper ending, but it’s still worth watching. Funny, with just a touch of mystery—definitely recommend!
Santa Clarita Diet (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show is a cult favorite for a reason. It’s fresh, funny, and the cast is delightfully silly and lovable. A great little sitcom that finally got the recognition it deserves. It keeps improving with each season, so you definitely won’t get bored.
Schitt's Creek (2015–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a great watch with a compelling mystery and a satisfying ending. With only one season, it’s a low-commitment show, but the story is high quality and well worth your time.
Sharp Objects (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this because my sister wanted to, and honestly, I wasn’t really into it at first. It definitely grew on me though. It’s awkward, cringe, and genuinely funny. Another big plus is that it has a proper ending, so you get a complete story. A gr...
Silicon Valley (2014–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of my first British shows, and it felt so different from American TV, but I still really liked it. Generation 2 is my favorite, but overall it was refreshing to see something so raw and unfiltered. Definitely a show everyone should watch...
Skins (2007–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
So raw and emotional—this show is seriously underrated. Elizabeth Olsen is phenomenal here, and it’s a shame it’s not more popular. Be prepared to cry, but it’s absolutely worth it. Great story, great cast.
Sorry for Your Loss (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is an underrated gem. The cast is great, and the plot is solid. I especially loved the chemistry between the characters, and the fast pacing kept me engaged. Definitely worth watching.
Swingtown (2008)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’m not sure why this show wasn’t renewed, because it was pretty good. It struck a nice balance between comedy and drama and tackled some meaningful topics. It’s light-hearted enough to enjoy with the family, too. Definitely worth watching, even thou...
The Baker and the Beauty (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
So raw and meaningful. The cast did an incredible job, and even the unlikeable characters really stood out. You’ll cry watching this whether from sadness, being moved, or even tears of joy. It’s a show that stirs up a wide range of emotions.
The Big C (2010–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was actually really good. I was hooked from the very beginning, and the story wrapped up nicely. While they did try to cram in a lot of side stories, which felt unnecessary, it’s still a great mystery show overall.
The Five (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is probably my favorite Mike Flanagan Netflix series. It strikes the perfect balance between scary and suspenseful. The story keeps you engaged the whole way through, with plenty of twists and moments that keep you guessing. The entire cast did ...
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is another solid Mike Flanagan series. While it’s not as scary as The Haunting of Hill House, it’s still spooky and very engaging. It definitely makes you want to keep watching and I highly recommend giving this one a try.
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show has no business being this good. Christina Ricci is brilliant, and the series is incredibly well done. It’s scary, wild, and completely unpredictable. It’s even more unsettling knowing it’s based on a true story, but it’s absolutely worth w...
The Lizzie Borden Chronicles (2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a great show and definitely worth watching. The writing is brilliant, and the story keeps you hooked from start to finish. Everyone in the cast performs amazingly, and the chemistry among them is off the charts. It’s a must-watch for anyone w...
The Musketeers (2014–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is definitely a teen show, but I really enjoyed it. It moves quickly, and the mystery is well-written for its time. I wish it had been renewed, as the ending left a lot unanswered, but even so, it’s still a good watch.
The Lying Game (2011–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The Tudors is a fantastic show that explores the life and times of King Henry VIII, focusing mainly on his family life. I really loved it because it feels fairly historically accurate while still being engaging enough that it doesn’t feel like a hist...
The Tudors (2007–2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I loved the concept for this show, and it was executed really well. Seasons one and two were great, and while the ending wasn’t perfect, it doesn’t take away from the overall series. It’s a fantastic sci-fi fantasy with a fun and unique plot. Definit...
The Umbrella Academy (2019–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is actually a fantastic miniseries. Jodie Comer is great, as usual, and the show is fast-paced and genuinely gripping. You’ll be holding your breath until the end. With only six episodes, it’s short and extremely bingeable.
Thirteen (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
What an interesting concept for a show. I absolutely loved the first season—it was so well done and kept me on the edge of my seat. Season two was a bit weaker in my opinion, but still very good. I highly recommend this show.
Timeless (2016–2018)

★★★

Okay: Shows that were fine—entertaining but not unforgettable.

 
Miya Chan profile picture
The plot interested me because I love alternate history. Some parts were slow, but overall, it was pretty good.
11.22.63 (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The first season was pretty interesting, but I felt like it dragged on for too long. This one was just okay.
13 Reasons Why (2017–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I wanted to watch another miniseries before my Hulu subscription expired, so I picked this one. Pretty average overall, but I don't hate it.
A Teacher (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The trailers for this made it seem so promising, but it ended up being kind of slow. It also doesn't help that it was cancelled without a good ending.
Alaska Daily (2022–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I remember reading the book in school so I was really looking forward to this. It wasn't bad, but it didn't capture the good parts of the book. I would've watched a second season, but too bad it was cancelled.
American Born Chinese (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is another popular one that I couldn't really get into. I really loved some of the characters, but I thought it paled in comparison to Buffy. If you're watching Buffy already though, I strongly suggest you watch Angel with it.
Angel (1999–2004)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I liked it, but it's not outstanding. I think it's worth watching at least once.
Apple Tree Yard (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A lot of people liked this one, so I decided to give it a watch after reading the reviews. It's not bad, but I couldn't really get into it.
Barry (2018–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
While I enjoyed the story, I felt that some parts were too slow. The cast did an amazing job though. If you have time, it's a decent choice.
Bates Motel (2013–2017)

First season was pretty good, but then it went kind of downhill from there. Like most people, my favorite character was Alice and Rachel Skarsten really did a good job.
Batwoman (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A lot of people really liked this one. The plot really drew me in, and it wasn't bad but I couldn't really get into it.
Being Human (2008–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Unpopular opinion, but I actually liked this one more than the original. The two were pretty similiar, but this one was faster paced so I enjoyed it more.
Being Human (2011-2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show had potential, but unfortunately it got cancelled too early. Interesting for a 2 season show, but it does not have an ending.
Beyond (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I can't remember why I started watching this… it's funny, awkward, gross, and weirdly entertaining. Each character has their own unique personality and I think that's what I enjoyed the most about this show. Not a bad watch, I can see why it's popula...
Big Mouth (2017–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
For a comedy, it was not really funny, but it's light-hearted and has a lot of cute moments. If you're looking for something short to watch, this one is a decent choice.
Bless This Mess (2019–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is like if American Pie had a show. Super random show with no real plot. Decently funny and it's a good choice if you're looking to kill time.
Blue Mountain State (2010–2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I'll be honest – the first few seasons were pretty good, but I feel like it started going downhill in the later seasons. Sometimes it's better to end something on a high note and not drag it out just for the sake of viewership/fans. Not a bad watch, ...
Californication (2007–2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is indeed creepy, but also very slow. Each season has its own story so don't worry about any cliffhangers. If you're looking for a mild horror show to watch, this one is nice.
Castle Rock (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I've always been interested in nuclear disasters so this show really caught my eye. It does a great job at showing what happened at Chernobyl… everything was so real, from the acting to the special effects. Worth checking out.
Chernobyl (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
My first Hallmark show, and it's exactly what I expected. Easy to watch, light-hearted, and perfect for families to watch together. Is it perfect? Far from it. But it's not a bad watch if you want a chance of pace.
Chesapeake Shores (2016 - 2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A very unique horror show.. I would expect nothing less from the SYFY channel. This show is scary, but eerie scary. If you're looking for a horror show that's not overly scary, this is the one for you.
Channel Zero (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Watched this because it was part of the Riverdale universe. It's much better than Riverdale, but still far from perfect. I don't regret watching this, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018-2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show had potential, but it went in a completely different direction. It's not bad, but the characters are pretty dumb and obnoxious. It was also cancelled without a proper ending.
Colony (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I had such HIGH hopes for this one because people said it was like 12 Monkeys (5 stars). And while there were some similarities, Continuum falls short. To me, it felt very cheaply made, and the writing was not as smart as 12 Monkeys. Maybe I would've...
Continuum (2012–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A fun watch! I started this randomly and it was a nice surprise. It's pretty funny, and the cast did an amazing job. I would've liked a season 2.
Crazyhead (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a surprisingly good watch. It kept me interested throughout, and it got better and better with each episode. I wish it got renewed because the ending definitely left more to be desired.
Crisis (2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this because it was really popular when it was first released. It's written well and has a lot of twists you don't expect. Worth watching if you're looking for something with a good storyline.
Dark (2017–2020)

Miya Chan profile picture
Not a lot of people have seen this and I guess it's lack of popularity is what got it cancelled. I thought the first season was pretty interesting, but it did start to lose me after a while. Not a bad watch, but it ends on a cliffhanger so be prepare...
Dark Matter (2015–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
One of my “Christmas” watches and I enjoyed it. It was cute and the cast is a breath of fresh air. A good choice if you're looking for a short Christmas-theme show to watch.
DASH & LILY (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
One of the first shows I've ever watched. It was better than I expected even though it had some dumb parts.
Daybreak (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Sharon Horgan is good in everything. This one is no exception. This was unexpectedly funny but the downside is it's very short, and it was cancelled before we got any answers.
Dead Boss (2012)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is another popular one that got cancelled too early. It's hard for me to rank this one because it was so short and I barely had time to get to know the characters. They never finished the story. For those reasons, I'll rank it 3 stars.
Deadly Class (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This one is far from perfect, but still enjoyable. You'll hate the main character but oddly, still feel drawn to her. Give it a try.
Diablo Guardián (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I was looking for a quick 30 minute show to watch and I saw Krysten Ritter was the lead for this so I decided to give it a try. It's one of those one and done shows. Does not stand out, but you can use it to kill some time.
Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 (2012–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I knew almost nothing about Echo when I decided to watch the show, but it turned out alright. Not your typical Marvel show, but worth watching if you're a Marvel fan.
Echo (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not a bad watch at all! I haven’t seen the original Fantasy Island, so I can’t compare, but this reboot felt fresh and new. Season 1 was definitely stronger than Season 2, but overall it was an enjoyable show.
Fantasy Island (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I haven’t read the book this show is based on, so I can’t compare, but it was a nice, short watch. Not amazing, but definitely not the worst either. Worth checking out if you enjoy this genre.
Fingersmith (2005)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I had high hopes for this show since I enjoy this genre, but it was a bit different from what I expected. That said, I’m not disappointed—the cast did an amazing job, and they’re all incredibly attractive. Worth a watch if you enjoy this type of show...
From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I had no idea this was based on a true story, but it still turned out to be a fun, easy watch. The character relationships were my favorite part, even though a few moments felt a bit slow. Overall, it’s a show that was ahead of its time. If you have ...
Gentleman Jack (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Based on a true story, this short TV show is easy to watch and feels very authentic. I enjoyed the pacing, and it comes across as realistic and relatable. Not a bad watch.
Girlboss (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I wasn’t familiar with any of the cast and watched this show just for the plot. While it had some interesting moments, the pacing felt slow overall. It’s labeled as “horror,” but I didn’t find it scary.
Glitch (2015–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Goosebumps holds a special place in my heart—I read almost all the books as a kid! Watching the show as an adult was such a nostalgic treat. If you loved the books, this series is a must-watch and will bring back so many great memories.
Goosebumps (1995–1998)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This series is a fresh take on Goosebumps, and I really enjoyed it! It’s a bit scarier than the original, but still kid- and family-friendly. I’m sad it got canceled because there was so much more story to explore, but it was fun while it lasted.
Goosebumps (2023–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love a good mystery, and this show kept me hooked from start to finish. Even though it was cancelled too soon, I’m glad I watched it—it was worth every episode.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society (2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Super interesting storyline, but the slow execution dragged it down a bit. There are plenty of ups and downs and some great character development, but it does get frustrating at times. Still, it’s worth a watch and definitely underrated.
Halt and Catch Fire (2014–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’m on a mission to watch all the Marvel TV shows, and while Hawkeye has never been my favorite Avenger, I really enjoyed this series. Hailee Steinfeld brings a fresh energy, and I can’t wait to see more of her in the Marvel universe. It’s a shame th...
Hawkeye (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I had high expectations for this show based on the synopsis, but it ended up being more childish than I anticipated, even with some violent scenes. Not a bad watch by any means, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. Still worth checking out...
His Dark Materials (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show was just okay. I picked it because it was short and starred Julia Roberts, and I did finish it, but it wasn’t very memorable. The first season was definitely stronger than the second. Worth a watch if you’re looking for a quick series, but ...
Homecoming (2018–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I thought this was pretty good when I first watched it. But honestly, after watching the newest season, I feel like it kind of lost a bit of its charm. They should've ended it after season 2.
Home for Christmas (2019–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I really enjoyed this one. The concept felt fresh, and the acting was surprisingly strong throughout. It’s a shame it didn’t get renewed because it had so much potential to grow into something even better. Definitely worth watching while it lasts.
I Am Not Okay With This (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a solid watch. Billie Piper is incredible as always, and the dancing throughout the show was such a standout. There’s a certain raw, unfiltered quality to the series that pulls you in and keeps you invested.
I Hate Suzie (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Sometimes I just scroll through a streaming platform and pick something totally random—this was one of those picks. It’s not the best show ever, but I do like it. The cast was amazing, and the story definitely sticks with you. Just a heads-up: it’s a...

Katy Keene (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
My sister wanted to watch this one, and I'm glad I sat with her to watch it. It's rare to see an all-Asian cast on screen, and Kim's Convenience does a great job of Asian representation. It's pretty funny and easy to watch. Give this a try if you're ...
Kim's Convenience (2016–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this on Tubi when I was looking for free TV shows to watch. I think it's a solid 3 star show with a really good cast. Definitely worth a watch, however it ends on a cliffhanger so don't expect an ending.
L.A.'s Finest (2019–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was honestly not bad. The writing was a bit messy in the beginning, but the plot had potential. It's too bad it was cancelled so early on.
Life Sentence (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I was expecting this to be scarier, but it wasn't. Still, it's not a bad show. If you like teen horror shows that are not actually scary, then you might like this.
Light as a Feather (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A fun watch overall. The show has plenty of plot holes and moments that don’t quite make sense, but the fast-paced, engaging story keeps it entertaining. It’s worth a try if you’re looking for something to binge.
Locke & Key (2020–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Season 1 was great. I loved having a narrator, and the animations were fun. Season 2 was not bad, but definitely lacking compared to season 1.
Lore (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Sometimes I pick a show at random, and this was one of those choices. I was pleasantly surprised—it's unusual in its own way and worth a watch if you have the time.
Losing Alice (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love supernatural shows, and this one is one of the most popular “underrated” supernatural shows. While the story left more to be desired, I really liked the characters. They were not perfect, but they grow on you.
Lost Girl (2010–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a charming, low-key show about an everyday guy and his equally ordinary friends. It’s easy to watch, with just three seasons, so it doesn’t require a big time commitment. Definitely worth checking out.
Lovesick (2014–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I honestly thought this was so interesting, and I'm disappointed that it didn't get the proper ending it deserved. It's a fun watch though, and if you have some time to kill, this is a good choice.
Maggie (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
While this one is not as funny as Man vs Bee, it was still cute and funny. I would watch both of the “Man vs” series back to back for the best experience.
Man Vs Baby (2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a great one-season show with a gripping, fast-paced mystery. Kate Winslet is outstanding, as usual, and really elevates the series.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A decent teen superhero show. It could have been better, but if you’re a fan of the comics, it’s worth checking out.
Cloak & Dagger (2018–2019)

I think this was my first Marvel show, and I thought it was pretty good. I’m glad it ran for three seasons, with an interesting storyline and well-developed characters.
Jessica Jones (2015–2019)

I actually enjoyed this show a lot, even though it’s geared toward teens. Each character had their own storyline, which kept me interested, and I loved the unique powers and fresh relationships. It’s a shame it ended on a cliffhanger—I would have lik...
Runaways (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It was fun seeing all the superheroes together, but I watched this out of order and hadn’t been properly introduced to all of the Defenders yet, so it was a bit confusing. I’m sure I’d enjoy it more if I rewatched it now.
The Defenders (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A solid 3-star show. One of the better shows from the Defenders series, and Frank Castle is such a great character—I’m glad he got his own show.
The Punisher (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Really interesting plot that gave me a new perspective. I’m glad I watched it after reading the synopsis. The topic is not talked about often enough, and I think it’s a conversation worth having more often.
Mary Kills People (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I usually don't watch documentaries, but this one is worth watching! It's can't believe it happened in real life… I remember playing the McDonald's Monopoly with my sisters when I was younger and we'd be so happy to win anything.

Merry Happy Whatever (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Creepy in just the right way. The story had a good plot and a compelling mystery that held my attention throughout.
Midnight Mass (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love supernatural shows, and this one is really good. The story stays strong throughout, and the cast delivers solid performances. I just wish it had gotten a third season, because there was a lot of unexplored potential.
Midnight, Texas (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This started off pretty strong, but once the main cast changed, the quality began to dip. It wasn’t terrible—just not as good as the first few seasons. I’m glad I watched it, though it’s not something I’d watch again.
Misfits (2009–2013)

This show is incredibly smart, but also very confusing. If you have the time and patience to dissect it and catch every detail, it can be amazing. I watched it with my sister and we ended up more confused than anything. Still, the acting was excellen...
Mr. Robot (2015-2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not at all what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. It’s a strong coming-of-age story with some genuinely real and raw moments. Definitely worth watching if you’re a Marvel fan, but it stands on its own even if you’re not.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Prime really did this show dirty by canceling it—it had so much potential. I liked what we got from its short single season and really wish it had been renewed, especially since it ended on such a cliffhanger.
My Lady Jane (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is exactly what you’d expect—silly, dumb humor that’s super easy to watch and entertaining. Great if you enjoy this genre, but a bit cringe if you don’t. Sadly, it ends on a cliffhanger.
My Name Is Earl (2005–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A friend recommended this, and while it’s funny, some parts touch on sensitive topics and can be offensive. If that’s not your thing, this probably isn’t for you.
My Wife and Kids (2000–2005)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
As a comedy, I thought it was average. But as a show overall, it was entertaining and easy to watch. If you're looking for a light-hearted sitcom to watch, this one is a good choice.
Not Dead Yet (2023–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This came highly recommended by a friend, and while I did enjoy it, it may have been a bit overhyped for me. It was certainly entertaining, and for its time it was likely a fresh concept. That said, some parts felt slow, and I didn’t find the charact...
Nurse Jackie (2009–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not as good as the original, but still a solid watch if you’re a fan of the OUAT universe. It captures the same overall feel as *Once Upon a Time*, even though it isn’t directly connected to the main series.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (2013–2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
As a huge fan of the original, I found this spinoff disappointing. It didn’t have the same charm and failed to hold my interest. The plot was slow and never really drew me in. Maybe they were setting things up for future seasons, but since the show w...

Ozark (2017-2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
If you’re a fan of awkward, cringey comedies, this one might be for you. It’s very raw and genuine, but it can feel uncomfortable at times. Luckily, it’s a short series, so it doesn’t require much commitment.
PEN15 (2019–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The show is good on its own, but Eva Green is what really makes it worth watching. My only complaint is that there are a lot of slow moments and drawn-out conversations. I think I’d enjoy it more if the pacing was a bit faster.
Penny Dreadful (2014–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This feels quite different from the original Penny Dreadful and almost comes across as its own separate series. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I think it might have lasted longer if it hadn’t been compared so closely to its predecessor.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a super random pick for me—I’d never seen it before, though it seems like a lot of people watched it when they were younger. I didn’t really get into it at first, but I’ll admit it did get better as the show went on.
Primeval (2007–2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a solid watch—great plot, strong acting, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I just wish it had a proper ending, and a few parts felt a little slow.
Prodigal Son (2019–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Great concept for a show, but it felt like it started to go off on tangents and lost its focus. To be fair, it was beginning to get good right before it was canceled. Not a bad watch, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend it.
Reaper (2007–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Once again, Natasha Lyonne absolutely nailed it. This is a solid show and definitely worth watching. I personally prefer season one, though season two has its strong moments as well. Overall, it’s a great, quick show to dive into.
Russian Doll (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not a bad watch. Technically it’s considered one show, but season one and season two tell different stories. I personally enjoyed season one more, though both seasons are solid in terms of plot and acting.
Sacred Lies (2018–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love shows about witches—they’re so fascinating! Overall, it’s a good show: not too scary, but it does have some blood, gore, and disturbing moments. I’d call it strange, but in the best kind of way. Bonus though – the cast is so good looking.
Salem (2014–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a fun, two-season show with plenty of funny moments. It’s easy to watch and entertaining, making it perfect for anyone looking for something short, sweet, and low-commitment.
Samantha Who? (2007–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t really expect much from this, but I can imagine it was a fresh idea back in the day. In my opinion, it’s worth watching at least once. Billie Piper is great, as usual.
Secret Diary of a Call Girl (2007–2011)

Sex Education (2019–2023)

Not my usual type of show, but I gave it a try and it wasn’t as bad as the reviews made it out to be. There are a lot of NSFW scenes, so if that’s not your thing, this isn’t for you. I wouldn’t watch it again, but it doesn’t deserve all the negative ...
Sex/Life (2021-2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show is popular for a reason. The cast is great, and the mysteries are genuinely strong. The only thing that really held it back for me was how long each episode was (about 90 minutes) which seriously affected the pacing. I still think it’s a go...
Sherlock (2010–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a different kind of show than what I’m used to, but not a bad watch. It’s raw, and it’s refreshing to see the spotlight on women of different sizes for once. The idea feels fresh, though there isn’t a lot going on beyond everyday, slice-of-l...
Shrill (2019–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I think this is a solid watch. I didn’t really expect much going in, but I ended up enjoying it. You can definitely see a drop in quality in season two, but it didn’t deserve to be canceled. This could’ve been a good 3–4 season show.
Shut Eye (2016–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of my random picks. Season one felt really promising, but it fell flat in season two and then got canceled. Not a bad watch overall—just don’t go in with high expectations.
Sick Note (2017-2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s quirky and funny, with just enough real-life elements to make it genuinely worth watching. It was canceled way too early—this one had real potential and is definitely worth checking out.
Single Drunk Female (2022–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
First off, the cast was amazing and perfectly casted for their roles. The show itself is well done, with some really strong moments, though a few scenes felt a bit ridiculous. Still, I’d recommend giving it a watch, especially if you’re a fan of the ...
Snatch (2017–2018)

Great show with a compelling story. Season one was my favorite, though the other two seasons were solid as well. Definitely worth watching, and the cast delivered strong performances throughout.
Sneaky Pete (2015–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s rare to see a show that highlights mental health issues, and this one does it really well while keeping the story interesting. It’s very bingeable, and with only one season, you can easily watch it over a weekend.
Spinning Out (2019-2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of the first shows I ever watched, and I even rewatched it a few years later. The first time, I thought it was great, but on the second watch, I noticed a lot of flaws. Still, the concept of the show is solid, and it might have been even...
Stitchers (2015–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a solid pick if you’re looking for something funny and light-hearted. It’s easy to watch, with a likable cast. It’s probably geared more toward teens, but I watched it as an adult and still enjoyed it.
Suburgatory (2011–2014)

Superior Donuts (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was recommended by a friend, and it definitely gave me Dark and Black Mirror vibes. It’s not a bad watch, though some episodes are slow. I wouldn’t watch it again, but it’s worth checking out at least once.
Tales from the Loop (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A solid watch. I checked this out after Once Upon a Time because people said it was similar, and it does have a similar feel, though I’d say it’s not quite as good. It’s not bad at all, and I liked the cast, but I think I expected a bit more. Worth w...
Tell Me a Story (2018–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Unexpectedly good for one of my random watches. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. It’s a shame it got canceled so early, especially since it was starting to get good. Definitely worth watching at least once.
Terriers (2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s scary to think this was based on a true story. The cast did an amazing job, and the fast-paced writing made it easy to watch. If you’re into true-crime shows, this is definitely worth checking out.
The Act (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I loved reading these books when I was younger, so I was excited to watch this show, even though it’s aimed at a younger audience. It’s pretty much what you’d expect, and I enjoyed it. I just wish it hadn’t been canceled, because it really wasn’t bad...
The Baby-Sitters Club (2020-2021)

The Client List (2011–2013)

So unique and different. I watched this because I wanted something short, and it was a great pick. That said, it might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
The End of the F***ing World (2017-2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Gave this a try, and it’s actually not bad at all. Definitely different from what we’re used to, but it doesn’t deserve all the hate. Worth checking out if you’re a Marvel fan.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Shows created by Mike Flanagan always seem to be high quality, and this one is no different. The cast was excellent, as usual, and the story moved along nicely. The only downside is that it’s not very scary, despite being labeled as a horror.
The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Solid acting and strong storytelling. It’s based on true events and offers a fresh perspective, highlighting the powerful women behind our presidents. The First Lady is only a few episodes, but it’s worth watching.
The First Lady (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I liked this one, even though the reviews are pretty average. It kept me engaged throughout, and each episode leaves you wanting more. It’s pretty solid for a thriller, though I definitely prefer season one over season two.
The Flight Attendant (2020–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s crazy that this show wasn’t more popular when it came out. It has a great cast and is genuinely interesting. It definitely deserved more love and more seasons. It's too bad it got canceled so early on.
The Gifted (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Super random and silly. Each episode tells a different story, so you never know what to expect. I preferred season one over season two, but it’s an easy, quick 30-minute watch.
The Guest Book (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is probably one of the most popular Hulu shows ever, and it totally deserves that recognition. The story is gripping and interesting, and the women in the show are all amazing. However, there were some slow parts, and I think they spent a bit to...
The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s always a pleasure to watch Jenna Coleman on screen—she’s so talented and really makes this show worth watching. It’s a decent, short mystery: nothing groundbreaking, but not bad at all. A great pick if you enjoy quick, bite-sized mysteries.
The Jetty (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t expect to like this, but it ended up being a really good watch. It’s funny and raw in a way that feels honest and relatable. The humor works well in the 30-minute format without feeling forced. Overall, it’s a solid sitcom that’s easy to enj...
The Kominsky Method (2018-2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show deserved more attention. It’s funny, and the fresh cast was a real breath of fresh air. I wish it had more seasons, but even so, it’s still worth watching.
The Mick (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A lot of people don’t like this one, and while I agree it doesn’t quite measure up to other Mike Flanagan Netflix shows, it’s still worth watching. The plot is unique and different, and if you’re a fan of horror, this one definitely hits the spot.
The Midnight Club (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of the first shows I ever watched, and while it’s not outstanding, it’s entertaining enough for a sitcom. It’s available to watch for free on a lot of platforms. If you’re looking for something short that doesn’t require much attention, ...
The Neighbors (2012–2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This one had a lot of potential and definitely deserved a second season. While it started out slow, it gradually improved and left many questions unanswered. It’s a shame we’ll never find out what happens next.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King (2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a cute little show. It does start off a bit slow, but it picks up as it goes on. The costumes are great, and the acting is solid. Not a bad watch at all if you enjoy period dramas.
The Paradise (2012–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was actually a pretty good sci-fi thriller with a lot of potential. It’s a shame it got canceled, since we never really get an ending to the story. Still worth watching if you have the time—just be prepared for a disappointing lack of closure.
The Passage (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Hayley Atwell and didn’t realize it was based on a book. The acting is great, but the story couldn’t quite hold my interest. I think it’s something you’d enjoy more if you’ve read the book first.
The Pillars of the Earth (2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not very scary for a horror show, but still a decent watch. I’ve never seen the movies, so it felt like a completely new story to me. I don’t think I’d watch it again, but I don’t regret watching it.
The Purge (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
If you’re looking for a short miniseries to binge, this is a solid option. It’s interesting and only three episodes, so it doesn’t require much of a time commitment. I wouldn’t say it’s one of my favorites, but it’s definitely worth checking out.
The Secret of Crickley Hall (2012)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is another royal palace show, but what sets it apart is its unique storytelling. It’s different and feels like a breath of fresh air. I would’ve loved another season or two, but unfortunately, it got canceled. Still, if you’re a fan of royal dra...
The Serpent Queen (2022–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not a bad fantasy show. There are some plot holes, and the acting could be better, but it’s not a deal breaker. The fast pacing keeps you engaged throughout. Overall, it’s worth a watch if you enjoy fantasy.
The Shannara Chronicles (2016–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a solid show. The costumes are absolutely stunning, and the cast did a decent job as well. With just two seasons, it’s quick and easy to watch. Great choice for fans of royal dramas.
The Spanish Princess (2019–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Hannah John-Kamen and didn’t realize it was based on a Harlan Coben novel. It’s pretty interesting, with a great cast and solid acting, and the length is perfect for a miniseries. This feels like a classic Netflix miniseries, so if...
The Stranger (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Jodie Comer, and she was amazing. I don’t know much about Elizabeth of York, but I still found the show interesting. Definitely worth watching if you enjoy historical royal dramas.
The White Princess (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Another solid royal-history drama. The acting was strong, and the costumes were beautiful. If you like shows like The Tudors, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
The White Queen (2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is a classic that’s loved by so many people, and it definitely had its ups and downs. I enjoy shows in this genre, so I didn’t mind sticking with it for all 11 seasons. If you’re not into this kind of sci-fi mystery, though, The X-Files might no...
The X-Files (993–2018)

★★

Not My Favorite: Shows I didn’t really enjoy, but might appeal to others.

 
Miya Chan profile picture
Picked this out as a my “random Christmas show”. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. Not very memorable. I can't recommend it.
A Christmas Carol (2019)
placeholder
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I only watched this because I'd never seen Daniel Radcliffe in anything other than Harry Potter (at that time). This made me see him in a completely different light. Not a bad watch, but I probably wouldn't watch it a second time.
A Young Doctor's Notebook (2012–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I had high hopes for this, but it was disappointing. There was no real plot, and none of the characters (other than Heather) really stood out to me. Not worth the time, in my opinion.
A.P. Bio (2018–2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I actually liked season 1, even though it was kind of a mess. The plot with Keith was interesting, and I wish they kept it. Unfortunately, the show went even further downhill from there, and was eventually cancelled without any proper ending.
Alert: Missing Persons Unit (2023–2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I know this is a popular show, but I personally didn't care for it. I found it slow and boring, and when they changed the characters in season 2, I lost even more interest.
Altered Carbon (2018-2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I wanted to like this one, but it was very underwhelming. Maybe it'll be better if it's binged, but I had to wait for new episodes every week which didn't help the already slow story.
Apples Never Fall (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love shows with a mythology theme, but this one just wasn't it. It has some good scenes, but is pretty forgettable.
Atlantis (2013–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love historical palace shows, but this one wasn't it. It was slow and boring. Good thing it was short so I finished it quickly.
Becoming Elizabeth (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Season 1 was pretty good, but by the time I watched season 2, I had lost interest. The plot was slow and the characters had little to no development. I would skip this one.
Between (2015–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I know nothing about comics and watched this only for Rachel Skarsten. Maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it. It didn't have much of anything going for it.
Birds of Prey (2002–2003)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I'm not going to lie… I was expecting more from this one. It did not really have a plot, and the way that it was filmed or edited made it hard to follow along and get attached to the characters. I can see why it never got popular, and why it wasn't r...
Black Summer (2019-2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I'll be honest and admit that I don't really like these types of shows… I gave this one a try anyway, since the reviews for it were pretty good. Unfortunately, it's a miss for me. I didn't like any of the characters, and the entire show was pretty fo...
Body of Proof (2011–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Very forgettable. It seems like a lot of people watched this for the cast… this was one of my random picks - meaning I read the synposis and was interested enough to watch it. Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations.
Brave New World (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Eva Green is amazing, but this show is not her best work. I usually like shows like this one, but this was boring and anticlimatic. Would not recommend.
Camelot (2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I love fantasy shows, but I found this one boring. It had two separate storylines that were largerly unrelated to one another. I would've preferred if they combined the two and just did one bigger story, just so it wasn't all over the place. Would no...
Carnival Row (2019–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was fun to watch. For a comedy, I didn't really find it too funny, but it was definitely chaotic and lives up to its name. Four seasons with six episodes in each season… a nice and short show.
Catastrophe (2015–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Very average and forgettable. Maybe if it had another season or two, it would be better?
Citadel: Diana (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Another one I didn't enjoy. It's also average and forgettable, but I think I prefer this to Citadel: Diana. If you're already watching the Citadel series, you can watch this one. Otherwise, skip it.
Citadel: Honey Bunny (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The reviews for this are so good so I might've had really high hopes. Sadly, I could not get into it. I will say though – it was getting better by the end of season 1. Maybe I would've liked season 2.
Constantine (2014–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Great cast, but that's pretty much it. Average cases and average series. Not the worst, but I would not watch it again.
Criminal: UK (2019-2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I don't even remember much of this, but I remember it being my least favorite of the “Criminal” series. If you're like me and always want to complete your shows, then watch this. Otherwise, skip.
Criminal: France (2019)
placeholder
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was perhaps the best one from the series. The cases were good and so was the acting. However, the series overall is a miss for me so I personally can't recommend it and won't rank it more than 2 stars.
Criminal: Germany (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
A lot of people didn't like this one, but to me, it wasn't the worst of the series. Will I be watching it again? Absolutely not. But if you are watching all 4 of the Criminal series, don't watch this one last.
Criminal: Spain (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The storyline was weak, and the acting was very average. It also got cancelled after 1 season so it didn't really go anywhere. Skip this, unless you're really into this genre.
Cursed (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I started watching this because the reviews said it was an underrated gem. And while I agree that it's pretty unique, I felt like it was not really going anywhere. It's a “Meh” from me.
Dead Like Me (2003–2004)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I can't remember why I watched this, but I can't recommend it. It wasn't funny or much of anything. You're not missing out on anything by skipping this one.
Dummy (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show is based on The Wizard of Oz which I've never seen. That may be why I didn't enjoy it. I felt like it was slow, and didn't get anywhere. The character development was also lacking.
Emerald City (2016–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Here’s a polished, SEO-friendly rewrite: I was looking for a short, 30-minute-per-episode show and decided to try this one. The synopsis seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. Many plot points didn’t make sense and felt forced just to move ...
Freakish (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The reviews for this show were amazing, but personally, I didn’t enjoy it. Maybe this type of show just isn’t my style—I didn’t find it funny at all. I wouldn’t watch it again.
Fresh Meat (2011–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I didn’t realize this was a kids’ show when I started it, but I stuck with it anyway. It’s not bad, just very clearly made for younger audiences with simple, family-friendly storylines. The child actors aren’t the strongest, but that’s expected. Grea...
Ghostwriter (2019–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this expecting something like Skins, but it didn’t quite deliver. The mystery wasn’t very engaging, and none of the characters really stood out. Fans of British teen dramas might give it a try, but personally, it wasn’t for me.
Glue (2014)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show sounded interesting, but I couldn’t get into it. The acting was weak and the storyline felt messy. I’d recommend skipping this one.
Guilt (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This show was messy and underwhelming, and I can see why it got cancelled. The plot was all over the place, and most questions went unanswered. While it’s considered horror, it wasn’t scary at all. Maybe with more seasons it could have improved, but ...
Helix (2014-2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The concept of this show sounded great, but in reality, it fell flat. I enjoyed the treasure-hunting aspect, but the plot was over the top and a bit silly. The characters didn’t stand out, making it hard to stay invested. Not my favorite watch.
Hooten & the Lady (2016–2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Hayley Atwell is always a delight to see on screen, but sadly, the show itself didn’t impress me. The storyline felt average, and the characters weren’t very memorable. I’d only recommend giving this a try if you’re a dedicated fan of the cast, other...
Howards End (2017–2018)

Inside Job (2021 - 2022)

This show started off decent and had potential, but over time it lost focus and went a bit off track. With only one season, the story never fully developed. Worth checking out if you’re curious, but don’t expect a complete ending.

I went into this show completely blind—I’ve never read Jane Eyre and didn’t know the story at all. I only watched it because it was leaving Hulu and I didn't want to miss it. Honestly, I wasn’t impressed. Supposedly a love story, but I didn’t feel an...

This show is not very funny despite being a comedy. If you have time to kill, you can give this one a try but I would not go out of my way to watch this.
Kevin Can Wait (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I personally did not enjoy this show, but that may be because I haven't read the comics. One thing I'll say though – the show was picking up in season 2 and I preferred it to season 1. If the show had a season 3, it might've gotten even better.
Krypton (2018–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The reviews for this show are pretty good, but I personally didn't like it. I watched it and when it ended, I just thought “That's it?” Not my cup of tea, but the acting was really good and that's why I'm giving it 2 stars.
Limetown (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
The show’s synopsis caught my attention, but the actual series was disappointing and far less interesting than I had hoped.
Living with Yourself (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is strictly my opinion since Loki is considered one of the best Marvel TV shows. I think it's overrated. It's entertaining enough to watch once if you're a Loki fan, but I wouldn't watch it again.
Loki (2021–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this because it was free on Tubi, and honestly it was quite forgettable. People hyped this up because of H.P. Lovecraft, but it was a miss for me.
Lovecraft Country (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Although this show came highly recommended and I typically enjoy history-based series, I struggled to get into it. The pacing was too slow for my liking, but that comes down to personal preference.
Marco Polo (2014–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’ve heard this is the least popular Defenders show, but I thought it was okay. Nothing incredible, but not bad either—and it was starting to get good before it got cancelled.
Iron Fist (2017–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’d rank this show just below Iron Fist but above Daredevil. While it could have used more action, it’s still decent—just not my favorite superhero series.
Luke Cage (2016–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It's so… weird. If you liked Children's Hospital, then you'll like this one too because it's like a spin-off. I personally thought it was just as weird and did not find it entertaining.
Medical Police (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I was excited to watch this, but for some reason I couldn't get into it. That's just me though because the show is actually good. It has a lot of different topics that were considered taboo “back then”, and the characters were all great. If you like ...
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012–2015)

This is actually a pretty popular Marvel miniseries. As a newer Marvel fan, I’ll admit I had a hard time fully understanding it. A lot of the plot felt confusing, which I assume is intentional and part of the storytelling. I can see why longtime Marv...
Moon Knight (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was highly recommended online, but I just couldn’t get into it—maybe it’s just not for me. There were a few funny, enjoyable moments, but overall it felt pretty forgettable.
Mr Inbetween (2018-2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’m not sure why I started watching this—maybe I just needed something short and it happened to be available. Honestly, it’s pretty forgettable. It’s a documentary based on real stories, so don’t expect any twists or highs and lows.
My Sordid Affair (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Very random and not my favorite. I felt like it had potential to be good, but it was moving too slowly. Great cast though.
NOS4A2 (2019–2020)

This one just wasn’t for me. I can see why some people enjoy this style of humor, but I didn’t find it particularly funny or interesting.
Norsemen (2016–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Unfortunately, I didn’t find this very funny for a comedy. It started off decently but seemed to lose its direction as the series went on. Maybe it would’ve improved with another season, but it was canceled due to the pandemic.
On Becoming a God in Central Florida (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Great cast and strong acting, but the writing is very messy. It’s also extremely slow-paced, and since it only has one season, it feels like the story doesn’t really go anywhere.
Origin (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This came highly recommended, but it didn’t really work for me. I didn’t find it funny and mostly just used it as background noise. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my cup of tea.
Our Flag Means Death (2022–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This feels like a one-and-done watch. It’s pretty average and very predictable. If you have the time, it’s fine to put on, but you’re not missing much if you skip it.
Panic (2021)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This wasn’t bad for a spinoff, but it was canceled before it really had a chance to get good. I’d only recommend watching it if you’ve seen the original series, because on its own, it doesn’t really stand out.
Primeval: New World (2012–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was too slow for me and didn’t have enough action. The idea is great and it kind of reminds me of "The X-Files", though it’s not as strong—which is understandable, since this isn’t a “big” show. I wouldn’t watch it again.
Project Blue Book (2019–2020)

Quarry (2016)

This isn’t a very memorable show, but it’s fun to see a young Brie Larson and Kat Dennings. It’s easy to watch, and since it’s only one season, it’s a quick, low-commitment watch.
Raising Dad (2001–2002)

Season one had an excellent mystery and completely hooked me—I watched every episode as soon as it was released. The characters were great, and I was fully invested in uncovering the murderer. Unfortunately, it all went downhill after that. Season tw...
Riverdale (2017–2023)

I really wanted to like this, but I just couldn’t get into it. It felt slow and not very interesting, and the ending didn’t land for me. Not worth watching unless you’re a fan of one of the cast.
Robin Hood (2006–2009)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was such a random show. You can pretty much watch any episode on its own since there’s very little continuity. A few episodes really stood out, but most were forgettable. Not worth investing your time unless you’re just looking for background no...

Miya Chan profile picture
Like most people, I watched this for Anna Torv. This just wasn’t my cup of tea, as I’m not a fan of shows in this genre. I found it boring and hard to follow. Fans of Anna Torv should check it out, but others aren’t missing much if they skip it.
Secret City (2016–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture

The One (2021)

For a while, shows with similar plots—where a group of people come back from the dead—were really popular. While the concept is interesting, I found the story just okay. Plus, since it was abruptly canceled, we never really get a proper ending.
The Returned (2015)

I love watching shows about Elizabeth because I find her so interesting, but I didn’t particularly enjoy this one. It moved slowly and focused on a lot of less interesting details. It definitely feels more like straight history than fiction, so if th...
The Virgin Queen (2005–2006)

I had no idea this was based on a book. Personally, I found it pretty boring and only watched it because I was looking for something short. The constant jumping back and forth was confusing and made it hard to get into the story.
War of the Worlds (2019–2022)

I watched this for Amy Acker. It started off slow, but was beginning to get more interesting toward the end. It’s a shame it got canceled, especially since it ended on a cliffhanger and left so many things unresolved.
The Watchful Eye (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
It’s not terrible, but it’s not very good either. The pacing is extremely slow, and there isn’t much to keep you engaged. The ending was especially disappointing. I’d skip this one unless you truly have nothing else to watch.
The Widow (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
People seemed to like this, but I found it just okay. It’s nice to see some lesbian-focused shows from this time period, but there were definitely some frustrating moments. It’s fine to watch once, but I wouldn’t watch it again.
Tipping the Velvet (2002)

Skip or Only If You’re Curious: Shows I don’t recommend—doesn’t mean they’re bad, just not my cup of tea.

Unfortunately, this is a pass for me. Even Lena Headey wasn't enough to save the show. Do yourself a favor and save your time.
Beacon 23 (2023–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Sorry, but no. I picked this out as one of my “Halloween” shows, but it was not scary at all. It was very random, and I didn't understand it. Acting was below average too. Skip this if you can.
Blood Drive (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I was pretty disappointed. The show is boring, and they didn't manage to show how “great” Catherine was. Save your time and skip this one.
Catherine the Great (2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Some people really enjoy this type of comedy… not me though, and that's why I rank this as a 1 star. It was “too over the place” for me. Would not recommend.
Childrens Hospital (2008–2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Sorry, but absolutely not. I finished the whole series (1 season) and I wasn't even sure what I watched. Not worth the time.
Cracow Monsters (2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not going to lie, I only watched this for Abigail Spencer. Unfortunately, even she couldn't save it. There was no real plot to this, and the characters were all very forgettable. It's no surprise it was cancelled after one season.
Extended Family (2023–2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Despite a star-studded cast, this show falls flat. The storyline is slow and unengaging, making it a pretty boring watch. I wouldn’t recommend spending your time on this one.
Extrapolations (2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I only watched this because it was leaving Hulu, but unfortunately it just wasn’t for me. I didn’t find it interesting or funny, and it didn’t match my taste in shows. Not one I’d personally recommend.
Ghosted (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I wanted to binge-watch a mini-series so I picked this one, but it just didn’t hold my interest. I’d recommend skipping this one.
Gunpowder (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Even though this show has a big fanbase, it wasn't for me. The dialogue dragged on, and some scenes were way too unrealistic and unnecessary, which pulled me out of the story. I wouldn’t watch it again or recommend it to others.
Hannibal (2013–2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not a fan of this one. I binge-watched it after seeing the great reviews, but it didn’t live up to my expectations. The pacing felt off, and there were too many storylines competing for attention, which made it hard to stay engaged. Disappointing, es...
Harlots (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Not for me. I’m not even sure why I decided to watch this—it was just on my list, and I saw that it was short and quick. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it funny at all, and the randomness made it hard to enjoy. Definitely not my type of humor or show.
Hyperdrive (2006–2007)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for two reasons: it was short, and it was free on YouTube. That said, I didn’t enjoy it. Nothing about it stood out to me, and I didn’t find it interesting at all.
Inhuman Condition (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is an unpopular opinion, but I did not enjoy this at all. This was one of my first TV shows and probably my first “Marvel” show. I was excited, and the reviews for this were so good. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into it at all. The plot was sup...
Legion (2017–2019)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I don't know what possessed me to watch this show, but I watched it… lol. It's super random and doesn't really make a lot of sense. If you're into this type of shows, then this is for you. If not, then avoid this.
Lexx (1996–2002)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this with my sister, and I did not enjoy it. There were a few interesting cases, but overall very forgettable. The plot never truly develops, and the lack of a real ending makes it even more unsatisfying.
Lie to Me (2009–2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was not at all what I expected. It was basically softcore prn. And while I don't mind nudity in my shows, this show straight up had no plot/point.
Life on Top (2009–2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I couldn’t follow this show at all. Even though it’s about mental illness, the story is so confusing and cryptic that it was hard to understand. Because of that, I’m giving it one star and wouldn’t recommend it.
Maniac (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Although this show is very popular, it wasn’t for me. The pacing is slow, and I would have preferred more action and less dialogue. Daredevil is my least favorite of the Defenders shows.
Daredevil (2015–2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this show before Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which made a lot of the Inhumans storyline confusing. I might give it another try and update my rating later, but as a standalone series, I didn’t enjoy it.
Inhumans (2017)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I don’t recommend this. The concept sounded really interesting, but the execution fell flat. The writing was very predictable, the acting wasn’t up to standard. It’s easy to see why the show was canceled.
October Faction (2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This might be controversial since a lot of people love this show, but I just couldn’t get into it—probably because this type of show isn’t really my thing. The acting and cinematography were spot on, but it still didn’t click for me.
Peaky Blinders (2013–2022)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I’m not a fan of this one. I watched it for Tatiana Maslany, but it wasn’t worth it for me. It was slow, dragged on, and I found myself falling asleep. I can see how some people might enjoy this type of show, but it just wasn’t for me.
Perry Mason (2020–2023)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Unfortunately, this one was a miss for me. I watched it because I loved Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna Earp, and while her performance here is very similar—which isn’t necessarily a bad thing—it doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. The plot f...
Revival (2025)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was a huge flop for me. I know the reviews are pretty positive, but it just wasn’t for me at all. I found it slow and boring, and it tried too hard to be cryptic and mysterious. It didn’t work for me, and I wouldn’t recommend watching it.
Rubicon (2010)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This remake flopped and for good reason. It fails to capture the charm of the original, and worst of all, the characters are underdeveloped and uninteresting. The overall vibe just felt off and didn’t feel like Skins at all.
Skins (2011)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This one’s a miss. The acting isn’t great, and the writing is pretty weak. There’s no real plot, just a bunch of people running around trying to be scary, but it’s not scary at all. I’d save your time and skip this one.
South of Hell (2015)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This is an erotic show, which isn’t a problem—if it actually had a plot. Don’t watch it unless you’re okay with that. The storyline had potential, but they didn’t spend time developing it. I must've been pretty innocent when watching this one because...
Submission (2016)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was one of my random miniseries picks, and I found it incredibly boring. I just couldn’t get into it. It felt like a bunch of nothing. Not worth your time, even though it’s only six short episodes.
The Big Cigar (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Nope, this one wasn’t it. Even the cast couldn’t save it. It was random, had virtually no plot, and felt like a total waste of time. I definitely don’t recommend watching this.
The Curse (2023–2024)

The concept for this show had so much potential, but it ended up being a big disappointment. The beginning was painfully slow, then everything was rushed toward the end. The acting was pretty average, and the plot had way too many flaws. Overall, it’...

This was a huge miss. It wasn’t interesting at all, and the pacing was completely off. No wonder it got canceled. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time on this.
The Mob Doctor (2012–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
This was terrible. I grew up watching the Chinese Journey to the West, and it’s insulting to even compare this show to that. Bad acting, a weak plot, and terrible CGI—definitely skip this one. Don’t waste your time.
The New Legends of Monkey (2018–2020)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I was expecting so much more from this show, especially with such a promising cast, but it was really boring. The stories feel random, don’t connect, and it’s not really about the Romanoffs. Overall, I was super disappointed by this one.
The Romanoffs (2018)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I can understand why this show was popular back then, but watching it now, it feels really outdated. It’s slow and unrealistic, and the acting isn’t great which makes sense since most of the cast was still new. On top of that, it’s unnecessarily long...
The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008–2013)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
I watched this for Elisabeth Moss, but even she couldn’t save it. The accent she used sounded awkward, and the writing for both the plot and characters was weak. Overall, it’s not worth your time.
The Veil (2024)
 
Miya Chan profile picture
Skip this and save your time. There’s not much going on, and the storyline is really weak. The synopsis makes it sound promising, but the show doesn’t deliver.
