New Shows, No Plans: My Current Binge-Watch Obsessions
It’s that time of year where it’s dark at 4:30, everyone’s tired, and honestly… I just want something good to watch. So if you’re in full couch-and-blanket mode, here are a few shows I’m loving right now — new, returning, and one music must-watch you can’t skip.
Dept. Q on Netflix is dark, smart, and binge-able in the best way. It’s a gritty crime drama based on the popular book series, following a detective working cold cases with a misfit team. It’s moody, intense, and one of those “okay one more episode” situations that suddenly turns into midnight.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf on Prime Video — and yes, I’m biased — but anything starring Riggins from Friday Night Lights automatically has my attention. This one’s a prequel to The Terminal List and dives into the origin story of Ben Edwards. It’s action-packed, emotional, and very easy to get sucked into.
Slow Horses on Apple TV+ is a slow burn, but stick with it. This newest season has been the best so far — sharper, darker, and totally worth the wait. If you like spy thrillers with sarcasm and messiness, this one hits.https://tv.apple.com/us/show/slow-horses/umc.cmc.2szz3fdt71tl1ulnbp8utgq5o?itsct=atvp_brand_omd&itscg=MC_20000&mttn3pid=Google+AdWords&mttnagencyid=a5e&mttncc=US&mttnsiteid=143238&mttnsubad=OUS2019944_1-775313294833-c&mttnsubkw=137832448790_kwd-1690940278727_ffspDajd_&mttnsubplmnt=_adext_
The Diplomat on Netflix is still a favorite. Seasons 1 and 2 were stronger than season 3 (in my opinion), but it’s still smart, intense, and binge-worthy with high-stakes political drama.https://www.netflix.com/title/81288983
The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix is coming back with a new season, which I’m very excited about. Legal drama, good pacing, and perfect “watch two episodes before bed” energy. Look for the Season 5 on February 6th! https://www.netflix.com/title/81303831
And even though it’s not new, music fans can’t go wrong with Daisy Jones & The Six on Prime Video. It’s based on the Best Seller fron Taylor Jenkins Reid. https://www.amazon.com/Daisy-Jones-Taylor-Jenkins-Reid-ebook/dp/B07FK8KZP7
It’s emotional, dramatic, and feels like watching a band you swear existed.https://www.amazon.com/Daisy-Jones-Six-Season-1/dp/B0B8NRNTSM
If winter’s dragging you down, at least your watch list doesn’t have to.
