Whether you’re procrastinating or actually have the free time, we can all use a little binge-watching in our lives. Here are seven of the best TV dramas to satisfy your desires:
1. How To Get Away With Murder
This show follows the lives of five law students who are chosen to work with their professor, a defense attorney who is known to do some unlawful things in order to win cases. Murder mysteries, steamy relationships, and unanswered questions will leave you begging for more.
The first two seasons are on Netflix, and season three just began airing on the C on September, so if you start soon, you can still catch up!
2. Stranger Things
The hottest Netflix original has something for everyone. Set in the 1970s, this nine-episode show follows the story of a missing boy, an undercover government laboratory, and an alternate dimension.
The next season is set for sometime next year, so get to binging this one now!
3. Star Crossed
Out of all of the titles on this list, this is will be the least recognizable. Star-Crossed is a modern, dystopian and science-fiction remake of Romeo and Juliet that follows a human girl and alien boy as they try to integrate their worlds.
Unfortunately, it never got past one season, but that makes it even easier to binge watch!
4. Once Upon a Time
A fairytale lover’s dream, this show intertwines the stories of every well-known character and puts them in the real world. You’ll be begging to live in Storybrooke before the end of season one.
The first six seasons are on Netflix, so it’s a commitment, but it’s well worth the time!
5. The Vampire Diaries
Vampires, witches, and a pair of handsome brothers are the main target points in this CW show.
It’s a time commitment, as there are six seasons on Neftlix, but you won’t regret it. After you watch, let me know: are you #Stelena or #Delena?
6. The Originals
In this spinoff of the Vampire Diaries, the bad guys are out to play. The Mikaelsons are taking over New Orleans, facing old and new foes while trying to protect what matters most — their family.
It’s less of a commitment than the show from which it originates, so there’s no reason to skip out on it (and if you decide to watch it first, there’s a 100% chance you will want the backstory provided from the Vampire Diaries).
7. Timeless
Timeless is a new show that combines history with science fiction. Three protagonists are forced to follow a terrorist back in time to important dates in American history and ensure that nothing alters the course of history.
There are only two episodes so far with another uploaded on the NBC website each Tuesday, so while it might not be binge-watching, it’s just as much of a guilty pleasure.
