5. Quantico
If I had to describe Quantico in two words, they would be “GIRL” and “POWER”. The show tells the story of FBI agent Alex Parrish (played by Priyanka Chopra), and her time training at the FBI Academy at Quantico. With a host of strong leading ladies (and a few cute boys too), Quantico is guaranteed to have you on the edge of your seat all season long.

6. Insecure
Back in 2012, it was hard to go anywhere on the internet without seeing something about The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl. The popular web series launched the career of comedian, actress, and author Issa Rae. Now she’s back to give us even more awkward black girl magic in her new series Insecure. While you’re waiting for the new show, catch up on her web series at awkwardblackgirl.com, and watch the trailer for her new show here. Insecure premieres Sunday, October 9th at 10:30 on HBO!
7. Marvel’s Luke Cage
Marvel has really been killing the Netflix series game lately. Shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones have already flown and super-punched their way into our hearts, and now we’re making room for one more hero! Those who’ve seen Jessica Jones will remember Luke Cage as Jessica’s love interest and (sometimes) partner. Marvel’s Luke Cage tells the story of our favorite bulletproof superhero, as he encounters some brand new villains in Hell’s Kitchen. Marvel’s Luke Cage makes it’s way to Netflix September 30th!
