Whether you’re in the mood for a comedy about vampires or the chaotic mess that is U.S. politics, some solid and gripping sci-fi dramas, or just some late night news-savvy satire about the world, Binge, which was launched in May last year and is owned by Foxtel, has a lot to offer.

Here are over 20 of the best TV shows to stream on Binge. 

Binge Veep Selena Meyer Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Julia Louis-Dreyfus as politician Selina Meyer in Veep.

HBO.

Veep

Veep is an outlandishly hilarious comedy about the chaos - and chaotic, unhinged and idiotic people - who work in U.S. politics. The show centres around Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, a fictional politician who becomes Vice President of the United States, and her incompetent overly-worked staff. 

best shows binge pose

Indya Moore as Angel in Pose.

Fox.

Pose

Directed by Ryan Murphy, Pose is a theatrical drama about the New York ballroom scene and drag ball culture from the '80s, and the iconic ballroom houses of Abundance and Evangelista - the latter name pays tribute to the famous model Linda Evangelista. The series has been heralded for its trans and people of colour representation, spotlighting an often unexplored side of the LGBTQIA+ community, and detailing the impact the HIV epidemic had on these communities and New York's nightlife. 

Amy Poehler Nick Offerman binge Making It

Parks and Recreation stars Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman in Making It.

NBC.

Making It

Making It is a home design craft-making reality TV show hosted by Parks and Recreation stars and beloved faves, Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman. Over on the show, contestants make practically everything, from snow globes and name plates to canoes. 

best shows binge what we do in the shadows

Natasia Demetriou and Matt Berry as an old married vampire couple in What We Do in the Shadows.

Fox.

What We Do in the Shadows

A sequel to the cult-classic film by Taika Waititi of Marvel fame, What We Do in the Shadows is a dark comedy mockumentary about a household of vampires - and one of their human familiars - living in an apartment in New York. 

best shows binge doom patrol

Doom Patrol is the superhero show for people who don't watch superhero shows.

DC Comics.

Doom Patrol

From Arrow to Supergirl, Binge offers a variety of superhero shows, but nothing is quite like Doom Patrol: it's a bonkers sci-fi drama about a group of rejected super-powered people dealing with their decade long-festering trauma.

Narrated by a fourth-wall-breaking cocky, self-righteous villain (Alan Tudyk), the show follows actor Brendan Fraser as a former race-car driver's brain inside a robot body, Matt Bomer as a 1960s in-the-closet gay pilot with a celestial being trapped inside him that wants to "come out", April Bowlby as a former Hollywood actress who fled the scene after she started turning into a blob when stressed, Diane Guerrero as a woman with 64 different personalities (and powers!), and Jovian Wade as a teen turned cyborg. Believe us when we say, it's clever, weird and wildly entertaining. 

best shows binge I may Destroy You

Michaela Coel in I May Destroy You.

HBO.

I May Destroy You

I May Destroy You is a life-changing drama by comedian Michaela Coel about a woman who begins to re-evaluate everything in her life after she's sexually assaulted in a nightclub. A heavy content warning for sexual abuse here, this show hits you hard and doesn't stop confronting you with the horrific experience of abuse and the corrosive effect it has on your surroundings, but it's essential viewing, nonetheless. 

best shows binge

Jessica Lange (L) and Susan Sarandon (R) as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

Fox.

Feud: Bette and Joan

Throughout the history of Hollywood, no legendary rivalry has been quite like that of famed actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

(1962) and more.

best shows on Binge generation

The cast of Binge's exciting new Gen Z show, Genera+ion.

HBO.

Genera+ion

Like Euphoria, Genera+ion is another teen drama but deeply rooted in Gen Z culture and the experience of growing up in 2020 and beyond. The series follows the lives of eight teens to the backdrop of a sudden and unexpected pregnancy, a school shooting, another student's yearning for their guidance counsellor, and another's experience coming to terms with their bisexuality - and sleeping with his twin sister's boyfriend - and more.

John Oliver

John Oliver discusses an important union vote within Amazon on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

HBO.

Whether you want to stay educated and informed, or just love the guy, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is the perfect show to scratch your late night news-savvy satirical talk show itch.

HBO

Lovecraft Country

Lovecraft Country is a gripping sci-fi horror drama by horror aficionado Jordan Peele (Us, Get Out) about a Black man's quest to find his father amidst America's racial segregation in the 1950s, all while facing off against Lovecraftian and real world horrors.

Anthony Hopkins in Westworld.

HBO.

Westworld

Westworld is a sci-fi western epic about an amusement park populated by androids who eventually realise they're part of an artificial reality and designed to serve humankind's entertainment, and then plan an escape. A fantastic example of the age old scientific question: even if you could do it, should you?

HBO

Big Little Lies

Big Little Lies is a murder mystery with perhaps the biggest cast of female actresses in Hollywood. We're talking, Laura Dern, Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Zoë Kravitz and Shailene Woodley, and for that alone it should be on your next binge list.
