TV shows to binge-watch right now!

Every once and a while, we all sit down on our sofas and flick through Netflix or Disney+, trying to find something to watch or binge. People often find themselves looking and asking for recommendations. So here is a list of recommendations!

Grey’s Anatomy

Grey’s Anatomy. A classic among people who love drama, romance, and a bit of blood. The show is entertaining, filled with different and all kinds of storylines that will leave you wanting to watch more. For the first fourteen seasons of the show, it would take someone 20 days just to finish it. That is if you have that kind of time. Each episode is around 44 minutes long with each series having around 24 episodes each (except series one). Now that the show has reached its 19th season, it will take someone longer than 20 days! So, get comfy and watch the drama that occurs inside a rather odd hospital.

Stranger Things

The Netflix classic, Stranger Things. An instant fan favourite which happens rarely for the streaming service Netflix. From the instant it was on the streaming service, it was immediately placed number one everywhere around the world. Stranger Things is created by the Duffer Brothers and is based on the classic board game 'Dungeons and Dragons'. If you are willing to binge-watch all four seasons in one go, it will take a few days to watch the entirety of the show. The episodes vary in length going from 40 minutes in length to 79 minutes (the length of a full feature film!). So, get the popcorn out and time travel back to the 80s and fight some Demogorgons!

Sherlock (BBC)

The show that sprung two actors into the most popular Marvel franchises of all time. That show is Sherlock, written by Doctor Who ex-showrunner/writer Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss (who actually appears in the show himself). And, of course, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The show contains four seasons with three episodes each excluding the special in series three. However, including the special, it will take someone a whole nineteen hours to watch the entirety of the show. Which is not as long as the show Grey’s Anatomy. Delve into 19 hours of mystery and crime and get ready to have your mind blown by the impossible mind that is Sherlock Holmes.

Once Upon A Time

Do you like watching or reading fairy tales? Have you ever wondered what would happen if fairy tales came into our world? Well now, you don’t have to wonder about that as Once Upon a Time answers it for you. Watch a young boy named Henry (adoptive son of the Evil Queen) try to convince Emma Swan (The Saviour), his biological mother, that there is a cursed land in Maine where all fairy-tale characters are cursed and don’t remember who they are. Jump into 155 episodes of fairy tales and mysteries and escape from your own reality.

Game of Thrones

People can’t disagree that Game of Thrones has become a classic among fans and the general public. There is probably nowhere in the UK where someone doesn’t know what Game of Thrones is. But if you don’t and wish to binge-watch it, be ready for three days of dragons and battles for the entirety of the eight seasons, it will take someone 70 hours and 14 minutes to watch it as a whole. So, jump on that dragon and prepare to fight for the Iron Throne.
