No matter what mood you’re in, TV has something entertaining or heartbreaking for every taste. Bill Hader stars in Barry, an emotionally charged dark comedy. For something with more drama and suspenseful moments, check out Maid: an emotionally stirring limited series about a single mother working as a maid to provide for her daughter.

The Witcher

After an initially disappointing debut, The Witcher is one of Netflix’s flagship shows. Based on the popular game franchise and featuring ex-Superman Henry Cavill in the lead role as Geralt, an antihero who battles monsters while traveling across a fantasy Medieval Europe to help those in need.

The second season has recently started airing and, from what has been made available to critics so far, seems more assured than its predecessor. Gone are the monster fables; now questions which were addressed by inference in season one are addressed directly and explicitly.

Schitt’s Creek

Schitt’s Creek is an entertaining yet heartwarming series designed by comedy icon Eugene Levy and his son Dan that can keep viewers laughing for days on end. This series follows Johnny Rose, Moira Rose (former soap opera actor), Alexis Rose and their chaotic lives when their fortune collapses.

Though forced into sudden poverty, Moira, David and Alexis remain true to themselves despite their sudden impoverishment. With each passing season their stories develop slowly as Moira chases her dream job of acting; David continues running his hotel business; while Alexis allows love into her heart to soften its harsh exterior.

Black Mirror

Charlie Brooker’s high-concept sci-fi anthology show Black Mirror offers a dark yet thought-provoking examination of modern society and technology. With episodes that range from fashion industry satire to Mortal Kombat-like videogames, Black Mirror is essential viewing for anyone interested in exploring potential consequences of new technologies.

The show has earned widespread critical acclaim and earned three Primetime Emmy awards for episodes such as “San Junipero”, “USS Callister”, and “Bandersnatch”. Although billed as a standalone entity, each episode often contains easter eggs that allude to previous installments in some way.

Black Sails

Black Sails may not be for everyone, but it remains one of the most entertaining and engaging dramas ever created. Set twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island novel and featuring fictional pirate characters such as Calico Jack as well as real-life pirates such as Charles Vane – Black Sails offers something for every audience member!

This show boasts an extraordinary cast of characters with strong depth, while its period details are spot-on. While it may have not received as much hype, continue watching and you will quickly become hooked!

Mindhunter

David Fincher returns with another riveting crime drama with Mindhunter. Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany star as FBI agents who pioneered criminal profiling; Mindhunter follows their interviews with imprisoned serial killers to reveal their motivations and secrets.

Season two explores cases such as that of Son of Sam killer Eric Roberts, who claimed demons were speaking through his Labrador retriever. Additionally, workplace anxiety as well as prevalent taboos like racism and sexism are addressed, with Anna Torv playing no-nonsense psychology professor Wendy Carr providing invaluable counsel.

Narcos

Narcos is an addictive true crime series starring Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Elysium) as Pablo Escobar and Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones, Spectre) as real-life DEA agent Steve Murphy. This tale follows cocaine production and cartel operations across Colombia.

Its depiction of Latin America’s drug trade is an effective departure from more stereotypical views of drug lords and outside forces, yet isn’t without flaws; for instance, its omniscient narration can sometimes feel too close for comfort, while there are few moments of catharsis for our heroes.

Friends

Emmy Award-winning series Friends follows a group of friends in New York City as they navigate life with humor and close relationships. If you like that show, check out Living Single, featuring six women living together in a Brooklyn brownstone.

Cheers’s friendship dynamic between Norm and Cliff remains timeless. Watching these middle-aged guys form such an unbreakable friendship over their shared appreciation for beer is truly memorable.

Game of Thrones

HBO’s Game of Thrones is an enormous cultural phenomenon that has defied any preconceptions about fantasy fiction genre. Boasting rich world building, intelligent dialogue, and epic set-pieces – making Game of Thrones one of the most critically acclaimed series ever on television history.

The show follows four Houses from Westeros – Lannister, Stark and Targaryen – as they vie for control of the Iron Throne. There will be political intrigue, violence and sexual assault that is sure to keep viewers riveted! Fans are sure to be entranced.
