It is even harder to find political shows which aren't totally cringy and/or actually worth binging.

11 Shows To Watch If You Are Obsessed With Politics
CBS

As a political junky, it can be hard finding decent political shows. It is even harder to find political shows which aren't totally cringy and/or actually worth binging.

Here are 11 suggestions which cover everything from presidents to international politics:

1. Designated Survivor

Only one living major member of the executive branch left? How can't you be intrigued?

2. Madam Secretary

Three kids and a husband full of drama plus conspiracy theories and government? You know you love it.

3. The Crown

How can't you love the Queen of England? Plus, so much drama and pretty costumes.

4. Victoria


This show features more on point costumes but also the acting is fabulous. Plus, you can't miss the really interesting German accents.

5. Political Animals

Is this show sorta about Hillary Clinton or what? Can you find the similarities?

6. West Wing

It's impossible not to like Jeb Bartlett. Enough said.

7. Party Animals

Who doesn't love a good Matt Smith in his pre-Doctor Who phase?

8. Manhattan

It may not be super historically accurate but it's all about the bomb, which is interesting enough. Don't you think?

9. Veep

The satire is real with this one.

10. Scandal

I bet you can't tell me what is more ominous than "It's handled."

11. Parks and Recreation

If you don't like "Parks and Recreation," especially Ron Swanson, something must be seriously wrong with you.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
