Here are the 12 shows I’m lowkey obsessed with right now.
1. Severance: The Show That Ruined My Work-Life Balance
Okay, so Severance came back for Season 2 and I am still not over it. If you haven’t watched the first season, leave right now and go do it. It currently sits at a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, and for good reason. Adam Scott is a revelation. I’m honestly scared of office elevators now. It’s creepy, it’s sleek, and it’s a total mood. If you like existential dread with your morning coffee, this is the one.
2. Ted Lasso: Still the Warm Hug We All Need

I don’t care how many years pass, Ted Lasso is iconic. Even with the series wrapped, rewatching it is a personality trait at this point. It’s the ultimate comfort watch. Whenever I’m feeling like the world is a dumpster fire, I put on ‘Believe’ and suddenly everything is okay. Jason Sudeikis, you legend. If you haven’t seen it, what are you even doing with your life? Seriously, go watch it.
3. Shrinking: Jason Segel and Harrison Ford Are Everything
Who knew I needed to see Harrison Ford being grumpy and hilarious? Shrinking is honestly so underrated. It’s funny, it’s sad, and it hits way too close to home. The chemistry between the cast is just chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of show that makes you want to call your therapist—or your best friend. I’m living for the banter. Don’t sleep on this one, seriously, it’s a total gem.
4. Slow Horses: Gary Oldman Being Absolute Chaos
If you like spy thrillers that don’t take themselves too seriously, Slow Horses is the only answer. Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb is a messy, chain-smoking, insult-hurling masterpiece. It’s gritty, fast-paced, and lowkey hilarious. It’s consistently one of the best-reviewed shows on the platform, and watching these screw-ups save the day never gets old. My anxiety levels are high, but I can’t look away.
5. Silo: I Am Still Not Over That Cliffhanger
Silo is one of those shows that makes you want to scream at your TV. The world-building? Insane. The mystery? Keeps me up at night. Rebecca Ferguson is absolutely crushing it. It’s a dystopian nightmare that I can’t stop watching. If you like shows that make you question everything you see on screen, this is your new obsession. I’m literally counting down the days for the next drop.
6. The Morning Show: Peak Chaotic Energy
Let’s be real, The Morning Show is pure, unadulterated drama. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are playing for keeps, and the messiness is just delicious. It’s high-stakes, high-fashion, and high-drama. It’s the show I talk about in the group chat the most. Is it realistic? Maybe not always. Do I care? Absolutely not. It’s addictive, and I’m here for every single power move.
7. Lessons in Chemistry: Brie Larson Is A Queen
I cried, I cheered, I wanted to learn how to cook, and I wanted to start a revolution. Lessons in Chemistry is such a powerful watch. Brie Larson brings so much heart to Elizabeth Zott. It’s beautiful, tragic, and so satisfying. If you need a show that will make you feel all the feelings, this is it. Honestly, it’s one of the best things they’ve put out in years.
8. Dark Matter: My Brain Is Officially Melted
Okay, so this sci-fi thriller is wild. If you like multiverses and questioning your own reality, you’re going to be hooked. It’s intense, smart, and a little terrifying. I had to pause it three times just to process what was happening. It’s pure brain-candy. If you’re looking for something that isn’t just another boring procedural, this is it. Just make sure you’re paying attention, because blink and you’ll miss a massive plot twist.
9. Palm Royale: Fashion Goals and Pure Chaos
The outfits alone are worth the watch, but the plot? It’s a wild ride. Kristen Wiig is doing the most and I am living for it. It’s campy, it’s 1960s luxury, and it’s filled with enough backstabbing to keep you entertained for weeks. It’s the perfect guilty pleasure show that still manages to be high-quality. If you want to feel like a high-society socialite while sitting in your sweatpants, this is it.
10. Sugar: Colin Farrell Being a Noir Icon
Colin Farrell as a private investigator in LA? Say less. The cinematography in Sugar is literally gorgeous—every frame looks like a painting. It’s moody, mysterious, and has that classic noir vibe that I’m obsessed with. It’s a slow burn that pays off in the best way possible. If you want something stylish and a bit dark to watch late at night, look no further.
11. Bad Sisters: I Have Never Rooted For Villains More
This show is dark, funny, and honestly so satisfying. It’s about five sisters who are basically trying to get rid of their brother-in-law, and I found myself cheering them on the whole time. The chemistry between the sisters is so real. It’s a total rollercoaster. If you want a dark comedy that will have you gasping and laughing in the same breath, put this on your list immediately.
12. Presumed Innocent: The Legal Thriller We Needed
Jake Gyllenhaal in a legal thriller? Yes, please. This show had me guessing the killer until the very last second. It’s tense, it’s messy, and it’s exactly the kind of show you binge-watch in one weekend because you physically cannot stop. It’s been a massive hit for them, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. The tension is palpable. Seriously, clear your schedule, because you’re not going anywhere until you finish it.
