There are hundreds of TV shows right now, and it’s become very difficult to watch all of them. There are TV shows on broadcast networks, and then there are streaming shows from different platforms and services.
With all the amazing TV shows that have come out recently, there are only a few that have truly stood out that remains to be binge-watch material. Here are some of the best TV shows you must binge-watch.

Arcane
One of the most recent well-reviewed animated series from Netflix tells the story of two sisters who are forced to take sides in a battle of two different cities.

Based on the very popular video game League of Legends, Arcane dives deep into what it takes to be there for your family while also facing the harsh realities of being born in an underprivileged society.
There is still more to the series than what the initial hook offers, such as the mystery of the mysterious hex-core and how it can corrupt someone. There is also the looming threat of an outside force working its way into the politics of the Twin Cities.
Arcane has only two seasons, each with nine episodes, and the storytelling is microscopic. However, this is one of those shows that you will never forget.
The Boys
Have you ever thought what would happen if the most powerful superhero in the world turns out to be an egomaniac psychopath?

The Boys explores what happens when we idealize superheroes only for them to become the villain in real life.
This satirical superhero drama follows a group of regular citizens who take justice into their own hands as they watch the corporation that created these superheroes get away with abusing the system repeatedly.
Take note that this series may not be for everyone. It can be quite gory and violent, as well as out of this world, but the strong writing, great characterization, and solid performances make it a worthwhile watch.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a group of girls who are stranded in the wilderness with nothing but themselves as they struggle to survive at all costs.

Set in two timelines, one with their teenage versions and the other in their adult lives, Yellowjackets focuses on the difficult choices and the trauma that comes with choosing to survive.
There are also dark spirits, cults, and topics such as cannibalism are touched upon on this show. What do you need to do to survive, and will you still be the same after all that?
These are just some of the many questions that the Yellowjackets tried to discuss in their first two seasons. The third season is underway.
Game of Thrones
No other fantasy-based TV show has become more popular than Game of Thrones. At the height of its glory days, the show was one of the best of the best.

Set inside the world of Westeros, families from different houses struggle to find peace within each other as they try to play the Game of Thrones. The show carefully balances character work against a fantastical backdrop amidst dragons and white walkers.
The show might have had a controversial final season, but it closes this chapter of Westerosi’s history with a solid ending.
If you’re looking to binge-watch a TV show about families fighting to gain power alongside great writing and powerful characterization with some mythical aspects thrown in, this is your show.
House of the Dragon
Set a few years before the events of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon is a prequel series that was greenlit a few years after Game of Thrones ended.

The show follows the Targaryen family as they slowly descend into a clan war amongst each other to ascend the throne of Westeros and its Seven Kingdoms.
The series has different characters each with their agenda as they try to outwit each other to gain the Iron Throne. Families are torn apart and characters die which makes the TV show a must-watch.
While it is more fantastical than Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon remains a family drama at its heart.
Rings of Power
If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Rings of Power is a direct prequel that details the rich history of the Second Age of Middle-Earth.

The story is set thousands of years before the events of the trilogy which revolves around the adventures of Galadriel and Elrond and many other characters.
With surprises and twists along the way as well as familiar characters being introduced, it’s a great way to be initiated into the world of LOTR and the richness of the history that was given to us by none other than JRR Tolkien.
Only Murders in the Building
Only Murders in the Building is a comedy mystery drama starring the iconic Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Rounding out the trio is Selena Gomez as they take on different murder mysteries one season at a time. With its clever writing and twists, you’re immediately hooked into the show but what many people will realize is that the show is filled with great characters, amazing performances from all three leads, and guest stars.
The fourth season recently concluded and the fifth season is about to air sometime next year. You can still catch up on the show while waiting for the new season.
And one more thing, did we mention Meryl Streep is in this show? We won’t tell you which season(s) she’s in so enjoy the ride.
Abbott Elementary
Abbott Elementary is a workplace comedy that is currently airing on ABC. The show is about public school teachers as they navigate through the system while working alongside each other.

While the show’s premise might seem very ordinary, the characters, their motivations, and the hilarious situations they find themselves in are what make it unique and special.
From the optimistic Janine to the hilariously sassy Principal Ava, the show is nothing short of hilarious with a heart.
Heartstopper
Heartstopper is a coming-of-age romantic comedy series based on the book series of the same name.

Currently in its third season, the TV show follows the story of a shy high school boy named Charlie as he slowly falls in love with a popular rugby player named Nick, who is also learning more about himself.
The show beautifully depicts the difficulty of teenage love as well as the beauty of first love through the lens of these characters. There is a sense of nostalgia when you watch the show but it also remains to tackle very sensitive issues such as gender, sexuality, and identity.
If you have time to watch a warm and beautifully written show, Heartstopper should be on your list.
The Penguin
The Penguin is a TV show offshoot of the recent The Batman film helmed by Matt Reeves.

The show stars Collin Farrell as the titular character, detailing his rise to power in Gotham City’s underbelly while remaining hidden from the Dark Knight’s radar.
Farrell disappears behind prosthetics, a thick accent, and a gripping character arc as Oswald Cobb, who later becomes The Penguin, a formidable Batman villain that everyone knows and loves.
While the show humanizes the villain, Oswald is and always will be a villain. His journey towards his descent and ascension to become the supervillain we know him as today makes this show one of the best to binge-watch.
Conclusion
If you don’t have anything to do over the weekend and want to watch a fantastic show, these are just some of the most highly recommended TV shows you should binge-watch. Many of them are available on your favorite streaming platforms today.
