Because the advent of streaming made binging shows possible for those without complete seasons on DVD, fans have been devouring content like it's their second job. But with the sheer excess of TV shows coming out every week, it can be difficult to filter through all the titles and find something that's actually worth watching.

Whether it makes us laugh, gives us an inside look into history, scares our pants off, or hooks us to the point that we forgo sleep to watch it, a good series is truly something special. So kick back, order some food, and get ready to watch a new favorite or a reliable classic in a single sitting or over a weekend. Here are the 25 best shows for your next binge.

2024 Best books voted by our users

1. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Best choice
Credits: Quill Tree Books
What do you think?
Fresh from the Vatican shenanigans of Conclave, director Edward Berger travels to China for another literary adaptation: this time of Lawrence Osborne’s 2014 book. The travel journalist-turned-novelist’s crime tale The Forgiven was adapted in 2021, with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain as a married couple all at sea in Morocco, and The Ballad of a Small Player has invited further Graham Greene comparisons (think gone-to-seed Brits abroad). Colin Farrell plays a high-stakes gambler who passes himself off as an English lord while lying low in the casinos of Macau. Throw in Tilda Swinton and we’re sold. Buy the book here.
2. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

What do you think?

Back in March of 2021, Sarah Mass announced that the script was being written with Ron Moore, creator of Outlander. Although there are no details on the casting or release date, we do know that Hulu will be airing the series.

Get it from Bookshop or from your local indie bookstore via Indiebound. You can also try the audiobook version through Libro.fm.

3. Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

What do you think?

Promising review: "I am a digital nomad so I travel full-time around the world. I have a lot of devices to charge (laptop, Kindle, phone, backup battery, portable Wi-Fi device, camera, the list goes on). A lot of times hostel bunks or hotel rooms only have one outlet and with the previous adapter I was using, I had to charge one device at a time. I used to literally set my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night and switch devices so that I could get more than one device fully charged overnight. I did my research finally and settled on this one because it is universal and has four USB ports. What a GAME-CHANGER. On my latest trip I was able to charge all my devices at once and it made traveling so much smoother. It seems well made and good quality, too. Definitely recommend for my digital nomad and traveling peers. Happy travels! :)" —Maggie A

Price: $18.99 (available in two colors)
