I'm constantly on the look-out for new shows that I should binge. While I enjoy watching The Office over and over, I do appreciate new storylines and new characters that I can get invested in. I asked a few of my friends for binge-worthy show recommendations and they delivered.
Here are some shows that you should be watching.

"It's hilarious and frankly a well-put-together show."
