Friends

Arguably one of the best TV shows of all time. We know you’ve watched them all already, but even now, 25 years down the line, it never tires to watch Ross get stuck in a pair of leather pants. 

Better still, you can also watch Friends: The Reunion special where the cast get back together, reminisce on the successful series and answer burning fan questions.

Ten seasons

Big Little Lies

Based on Liane Moriarty’s bestselling book, this dark thriller starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley, tells the tale of three doting mothers whose seemingly perfect lives unravel to the point of murder. The last series was left on a colossal cliffhanger, with the demise of Celeste’s abusive husband. But now, in series two, the uber talented Meryl Streep steps in as Perry’s mother, who takes it into her own hands to investigate her son’s untimely death.

Two seasons

What We Do In The Shadows

A spin-off to Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s comical mockumentary, What We Do In The Shadows, which followed a bunch of modern-day vampires living in a share house. This TV adaptation brings a new vampire clan and hilarious set of supernatural mishaps into the mix.

One season

Westworld

A sci-fi Western featuring robot cowboys. Ok, we have to admit, this does sound a little far-fetched. But believe us, after the first ten minutes of the first episode you’ll be absolutely obsessed. In this HBO reboot of Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie, Westworld is a depraved theme park populated by life-like androids, where humans can come to live out their wild west fantasies – in short, either having sex with, or killing them. Or both. 

But the complex technology the robots, or “hosts” are created with starts to backfire on the developers, and the nuanced emotions, gestures and backstories they’re constantly exposed to, start to resonate. They remember the horrors they’ve witnessed, and they start to revolt in terrifying unison. 

Three seasons

The Sopranos

Centered around Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), an Italian-American mobster from New Jersey, The Sopranos closely follows his life, family and criminal dealings, along with his unconventional relationship with his psychiatrist. Considered one of the best TV shows of all time, you will be hooked from season one.

Six seasons

Chernobyl

The highest-rated series ever on IMDb, Chernobyl is a harrowing and heart-stopping portrayal of one of worst man-made disasters in history — the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear explosion. 

One season

Game of Thrones

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last eight years, there’s no way you could have escaped the epic phenomenon that is Game of Thrones, arguable the best TV show of all time. But in case you have, get ready to give up your social lives. This is one of the most binge-worthy TV shows made to date. Dragons, deranged kings and queens, bloody battles and steamy love affairs – you name it, GOT has it covered, and more. Fantasy fiction at its finest, you’ll be taken on an emotional roller coaster from start to finish, with some of the most memorable characters in fiction history.
