The 17 best TV shows to watch on Binge right now

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. 

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. 

From Batwoman 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. 

Euphoria is an Emmy-winning gritty drama about the brutally real life of being a teenager. The series stars actress Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Aussie Jacob Elordi, Barbie Ferreira and more. 

Dark secrets, twisted truths and some enviable vacation locations make The White Lotus a fan favourite.

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.

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. 

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?

The Flight Attendant is a juicy mystery about a flight attendant named Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) who after getting blackout drunk one night, wakes up in an unknown hotel in an unknown city to discover the body of a handsome passenger that boarded her flight moments ago. Destined to prove her innocence, Cassie travels around the world and recklessly investigates the secret behind the man’s death, only to learn there’s a lot more going on.

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. 

The Undoing is a drama-mystery about successful therapist Grace Fraser (Nicole Kidman), her husband Jonathan (Hugh Grant) and their young son Noah, as their world is shaken inside and out after they find themselves involved in a murder case. 

Chernobyl is a hauntingly good mini-series about the horrific nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Soviet Union in April 1986. Highly regarded for its breathtaking dramatisation and brutally historic accuracy, the show follows the explosion of the fourth reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, from before the disaster to the months and year-long consequences it had on the area, the culture and the living.

After the last remaining human colony becomes divided by religious differences, a pair of androids are tasked with raising human kids – aka the future of the human race – on an uninhabited planet.

It stars Hamilton‘s Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez, and Aussie Murray Bartlett, who once played con-man Luke Foster in Neighbours in 1993.
