Paramount+
Sylvester Stallone made a bold entrance into television with Tulsa King, a gritty yet entertaining crime drama from the mind of Taylor Sheridan. Sylvester plays Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a seasoned New York mobster who's exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after serving a 25-year prison sentence and starts building a criminal empire from the ground up. Other stars include Andrea Savage, Max Casella, Neal McDonough, and more.
DreamWorks Television
Before they were household names, actors like Linda Cardellini, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and James Franco were the fresh-faced stars of Freaks and Geeks, a short-lived but beloved dramedy that captured the awkward, painful, and hilarious high school journey.
The show, which came out in 1999, follows Lindsay, a bright student who veers off the mathlete path to hang out with underachievers; meanwhile, her younger brother navigates freshman year.
Paramount+
Colin From Accounts is an Australian rom-com that begins in an unexpected way: with a car accident and an injured dog. When the character Gordon, played by Patrick Brammall, nearly hits Ashley, portrayed by Harriet Dyer, with his car, the pair find themselves co-parenting a stray dog they name Colin.
The show's depiction of modern romance is witty, heartfelt, and filled with chemistry, making it easy to binge.
Paramount+
If you're more into the dark and twisted, check out Evil, which explores the blurry line between the psychological and the supernatural. It follows Kristen, a skeptical forensic psychologist, who teams up with a priest to investigate unexplained phenomena.
Evil weaves in commentary on science, faith, and the modern world's own dark side: internet culture. The cast includes Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Michael Emerson, Andrea Martin, and more.
Lynch/Frost Productions
While it came out in 1990, Twin Peaks is still considered one of the best shows ever created. When a high school student named Laura Palmer is found dead, Dale Cooper, an FBI agent, is called in to solve the case. This leads to the discovery of secrets buried within a seemingly quiet and unassuming town.
Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the cast includes David Lynch himself, Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, Frank Silva, Grace Zabriskie, and more.
CBS Studios
Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone is one classic that will never go out of style. This series uses science fiction, horror, and fantasy to tell self-contained stories that often end with a moral punch or twist. The episodes are only 30 minutes long, but each one pushes the boundaries of viewers' imaginations and reflects the anxieties of its time.
Still, even decades later, the thoughtful themes and eeriness resonate among audiences, both young and old.
Showtime
Yellowjackets is the kind of thriller that pulls you in from the very first episode. After a high school girls' soccer team crashes in the remote wilderness, the series jumps between the events that unfold following the accident and the lives of the adult survivors over two decades later.
This show, starring Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Ella Purnell, Hilary Swank, and more, is unpredictable and binge-worthy.
CBS
The Amazing Race is a reality TV staple that's continued captivating audiences for more than 20 years. It follows teams of two as they race across the globe and tackle challenges for a chance at winning a $1 million prize.
Beyond the adrenaline rush, the series gives viewers a glimpse into diverse cultures and gorgeous landscapes. It's part travel, part competition, but totally entertaining.
Comedy Central
Your high school history class definitely wasn't like Drunk History, where real historical events are retold by intoxicated narrators. Hosted by Derek Waters, the show delivers tipsy (and not always entirely verbatim) takes on all sorts of scandals and situations, from the death of Rasputin to the Stonewall riots.
It's chaotic but surprisingly informative and features a rotating cast of comedians and celebrity cameos.
Showtime
Last but not least is Dexter, an unsettling yet oddly endearing crime drama. Michael C. Hall stars as Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter analyst by day and a serial killer by night. The twist is that he only targets people whom he thinks deserve it.
Dexter came out in 2006, has eight seasons, and is still one of TV's most compelling depictions of a monster hiding right in plain sight.
