Intern (eventually working her way up the surgical rankings) Meredith Grey finds herself caught up in personal and professional passions with fellow doctors at a Seattle hospital. (Highly recommended, as this is my favorite show and will last you a long time because it is 13 seasons long.)

5. How to Get Away With Murder (3 Seasons)

Brilliant criminal defense attorney Annalise Keating, plus five of her students, become involved in a twisted murder case. (My newest obsession. Shonda Rhimes is a great writer and I highly recommend this show as well.)

As the school mourns the death of Hannah Baker, her friend Clay receives a box of tapes with messages she recorded before she committed suicide.

An anthology of horror stories where each season addresses a different theme.

10. A Series of Unfortunate Events (1 Season)

The dreadful history of the Baudelaire children begins with a deadpan narrator, a terrible fire, and the ominous arrival of a distant relative.

11. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2 Seasons)

Imprisoned by a cult leader as a teenager, midwesterner Kimmy is freed after 15 years. The first thing she decides to do is move to New York.

12. Parks and Recreation (7 Seasons)

In this Emmy-award winning comedy, an employee of a rural parks and recreation department is full of energy and ideas, but bogged down by bureaucracy.  

13. The Office (U.S.) (9 Seasons)

This hit comedy chronicles the foibles of disgruntled office workers—led by deluded boss Michael Scott—at a Dunder Mifflin Paper company. (Another one of my favorite shows that you can binge watch countless times—seriously. Countless.)

14. Santa Clarita Diet (1 Season)

They’re ordinary husband and wife realtors until she undergoes a dramatic change that sends them down a road of death and destruction.

15. Friends (10 Seasons)

This hit sitcom follows the merry misadventures of six 20-something pals as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990s Manhattan. (Another classic and favorite show of mine, binge-worthy more than once.)
