anyone else feel like they’ve finished Netflix throughout quarantine? just me? ok. 😉
jokes aside, I know we’ve all been binging every new show to come out since that’s pretty much all there is to do these days. Since I’ve officially lost track of all the shows we’ve binged, and since I get asked a lot – I wanted to compile a list of the shows we’ve watched and liked, or have heard about being good! Let me know in the comments below if you’ve seen any of these, or if I’m missing any good shows you’ve binged!
| Show Title | Genre | Streaming Service | My Rating/Thoughts |
| Behind Her Eyes | Drama, Mystery, Thriller | Netflix | (9.5/10) – def binge-worthy (only 6 episodes)! Ending certainly caught us by surprise lol such a weird but thrilling show….recommend watching! |
| Bling Empire | Reality-TV | Netflix | (6.5/10) – A guilty pleasure watch for me; not super interesting but their lifestyle is certainly fascinating. Quick binge. |
| Bridgerton | Drama, Romance | Netflix | (5.0/10) – Full disclosure, I’ve only watched the first 2 episodes and wasn’t fully captivated, BUT I heard it gets better around the 4th or 5th episode, so I need to keep watching… |
| Dead to Me | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | (10.0/10) – LOVED this show! So so good, and keeps you sucked in the entire time. I hope they come out with more seasons. |
| Defending Jacob | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Apple TV | (8.0/10) – this was pretty good for a murder mystery – lot of good suspense. I think we were a little shocked in the ending of it, but good and easy to watch. |
| Dream Home Makover | Reality-TV | Netflix | (9.0/10) – Pretty much wanted to renovate our entire home after watching this series haha and also buy ALL Studio McGee things from Target. Highly recommend! |
| Dynasty | Drama | Netflix | (10.0/10) – this show is SO good and SO bingeworthy. I started it because my parents used to watch a show called Dynasty when they first came to the US, and I believe this is a remake of that. Really good though and highly recommend! I heard they’re coming out with a new season this year – I hope that’s true! |
| Emily in Paris | Comedy, Drama, Romance | Netflix | (8.5/10) – this was a great feel-good, easy watch! Cute storyline and made me want to visit Paris more than ever. 🙂 |
| Flight Attendant | Comedy, Drama, Mystery | HBO Max | (8.0/10) – this show was so suspenseful, so we really loved it – until the ending! Ending was eh, from what I remember. Not sure if it’ll be coming out with a season 2 or not… |
| Friends From College | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | (7.0/10) – this one was so twisted in terms of relationships, but an enjoyable watch I guess just seeing how a group of friends from college interacted and kept in touch so many years later. |
| Ginny & Georgia | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | (10.0/10) – would 100% recommend – it’s so cute! I’ve heard it’s being called a modern Gilmore Girls and I could totally see that! I’m obsessed with Georgia and her southern accent, makes me miss home! Super cute, mostly feel-good show! |
| How to Fix a Drug Scandal | Documentary, Crime | Netflix | (8.5/10) – I’m not usually a huge fan of documentaries, but this one was certainly interesting to me! I think we binged all of it in one sitting on a Saturday haha. |
| Imposters | Comedy, Crime, Drama | Netflix | (10.0/10) – SO. GOOD. My best friend’s boyfriend suggested this show and I’m SO glad he did. We probably would’ve stayed up all night watching if we didn’t have work but I think we finished both seasons on Netflix in like 3 or 4 days. I’m going to be SUPER bummed if they announce there won’t be a season 3… |
| Indian Matchmaking | Reality-TV, Romance | Netflix | (5.0/10) – lol I just had to binge this one but just wasn’t a great show in my personal opinion. Worth having on in the background though! |
| Jane the Virgin | Comedy | Netflix | (10.0/10) – probably one of my favorite TV shows (or ‘telenovelas’ 😉 ) ever! I think I cried in the last episode cause I was so sad I was done with it haha. I’ll probably rewatch at some point, but seriously SO. GOOD. |
| Love is Blind | Reality-TV, Romance | Netflix | (6.5/10) – super interesting concept for a show and for ‘finding love’! It’s unfortunate that it didn’t end up working out for some people though lol but still an interesting concept. Worth the watch. |
| Lupin | Action, Crime, Drama | Netflix | (3.0/10) – I’ll preface this rating by saying I’m just not a fan of dubbed shows. So while the first episode was interesting and suspenseful, both Ronak and I lost interest by the second episode because neither of us enjoy the dubbing haha. If you don’t mind it though – I’ve certainly heard this is a great show! |
| Mare of Easttown | Crime, Drama, Mystery | HBO Max | (8.0/10) – this one was a little slow to start, then got really good and suspenseful and kind of dragged on at the end. But still really recommend watching it! It’s a short series (only 7 episodes) – so pretty easy binge 😉 |
| Masaba Masaba | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | (7.5/10) – this was a fun and easy watch! However, I feel like it wasn’t until the very last episode that things got more interesting lol but still hopeful for a second season! |
| Million Dollar Beach House | Reality-TV | Netflix | (10.0/10) – if this doesn’t make you want to immediately move to the Hamptons and buy a million dollar beach house, I’m not sure what to tell ya. Ronak and I LOVED binging this, because we’re also just obsessed with watching the Million Dollar Listing series, or any of the real estate reality shows. The drama in this one in particular though was good. 😉 |
| Money Heist | Action, Crime, Mystery | Netflix | (4.5/10) – similar to Lupin above, I think we got further along in Money Heist, but still didn’t fully binge it because it just got annoying to not have what the characters lips and what we were hearing line up! |
| Never Have I Ever | Comedy | Netflix | (8.5/10) – this was cute! Mindy Kaling did a pretty good job with this one, and I’m still wondering if there will be a season 2 haha. I think they did a decent job of presenting some real issues our culture has in this modern day time frame. |
| Queens Gambit | Drama, Sport | Netflix | (6.0/10) – I think I need to give this one more time… I don’t know why, I just couldn’t get myself to get into it within the first couple of episodes. But I’ve heard so many good things, so I think I need to keep going? |
| Real Housewives of Beverly Hills | Reality-TV | Hulu | (10.0/10) – I mean, need I say more? My favorite of the franchise, for sure. Definitely recommend if you enjoy petty drama hahaha. |
| Schitt’s Creek | Comedy | Netflix | (10.0/10) – I remember having to restart this one a few times because I was just like …what is this? But a few friends kept telling me to keep watching, and I’m SO GLAD I did because it really became one of my favorite shows to watch on repeat. They are all hilarious but I would LOVE to be friends with David in real life – he’s hysterical! If you haven’t already, definitely give it a try and just get through the first few episodes – then you’ll be hooked! |
| Selling Sunset | Reality-TV | Netflix | (10.0/10) – the real estate, the houses, the drama…everything. SO good. I’m SO excited they’re coming back with more seasons soon! |
| StartUp | Crime, Thriller | Netflix | (9.5/10) – such a good show! About the world of cryptocurrency, so if you’re into that – you’ll love this one! |
| Ted Lasso | Comedy, Drama, Sport | Apple TV | (10.0/10) – so good and so bingeworthy! Love Jason Sudeikis’ accent in this lol. Storyline is cute, and I’m so excited it’s renewed for more seasons! |
| The Bold Type | Comedy, Drama | Hulu | (10.0/10) – Female empowerment at its best. Just watch it – trust me! Also, I want to be best friends with Sutton – love her! Actually, would love to be friends with all 3 of them! 🙂 |
| The Big Day | Reality-TV, Romance | Netflix | (6.5/10) – meh? I didn’t love how they were all over the place in each episode, I would’ve loved for each episode to be fully focused on one couple and their journey through planning. Still was cool to see how extravagant some weddings are done in India! They were really beautiful 🙂 |
| The Morning Show | Drama | Apple TV | (10.0/10) – I mean, Jennifer Anniston is in it – how can you not love?! But a really great show, and has a great underlying storyline regarding the #MeToo movement, and an accurate depiction of issues that women have to face in the workplace. |
| The Stranger | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Netflix | (9.0/10) – I think this was a random find for us on Netflix, but we ended up loving it! It was so suspenseful even until the very end of the season, so I wonder if they’ll have additional seasons or not. Really good though! |
| The Undoing | Crime, Drama, Mystery | HBO Max | (9.0/10) – man, this one was a bit of a mind-F for me. Definitely suspenseful, kind of reminded me of “Defending Jacob”, if you’ve seen that. |
| Tiger King | Documentary, Crime | Netflix | (10.0/10) – I mean, did you even experience the beginning of quarantine if you didn’t binge Tiger King?! I will forever relate binging this show to memories of the beginning of the pandemic when quarantining was new and we thought it’d only last for like a month. But in all seriousness, it kind of broke my heart watching this and knowing that stuff like this still happens in zoos across the country. Regardless, definitely a great show to watch if you haven’t already, even just to educate yourself! |
| What/If | Drama, Thriller | Netflix | (10.0/10) – SO good. Definitely a little weird and made me a little uncomfortable at times, but really good suspense. Definitely recommend watching! |
| White Lotus | Comedy, Drama | HBO Max | (6.0/10) – we’re only about 3 episodes in so far, so it’s still a little hard to tell if I like this one or not…but it is intriguing enough for us to keep watching, so I’d say give it a shot! |
| You | Crime, Drama, Romance | Netflix | (10.0/10) – Ronak and I binged season 1 and 2 I think over the weekends they both came out – so good! Suspenseful and creepy at times, but one of those “can’t stop once you start” type shows. |
| Young & Hungry | Comedy, Drama, Romance | Netflix | (7.5/10) – sooo cheesy but one of my favorite ‘feel-good’ shows haha it’s fun to have in the background and I love Gabi’s wittiness and energy. The ending was soo abrupt, I’m honestly surprsied it didn’t come back! |
| Younger | Comedy, Romance | Hulu | (10.0/10) – Truly one of my favorite shows now! Hilary Duff is so good in it, but I love Sutton Foster!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute feel-good gals show with some romance, drama, and a good laugh 🙂 |
| Your Honor | Crime, Drama, Thriller | Showtime/Hulu | (6.0/10) – I’m not really sure why I couldn’t get into this show, maybe it was a little too dark for me at the time I was trying to give it a chance. Ronak liked it though! Maybe I’ll have to give it another shot… |
| Yummy Mummies | Reality-TV | Netflix | (5.5/10) – lol if you haven’t noticed yet, I’m a sucker for cheesy and dramatic reality shows and this one is just that! Plus…they all have Australian accents and live crazy lives, so really was just trying to live vicariously through them in this one haha |
