The world's a little strange right now: capital cities are on lockdown, with people being told to stay home rather than go out. There are, as a result, more people watching Netflix, Amazon, Disney Plus, and other str🤡eam🍰ing services than ever before. But, once you've finished rewatching The Office for the 48th time, what then? You need another show to binge – and right here, we have a few suggestions on the best shows to binge-watch right now.

This, however, isn't simply a list of the best shows to watch right now. We've set out some criteria as to what a binge-wജatch really is. Firstly, the shows on this list are those that you can zoom through without thinking twice about clicking that "play next episode" button. Second, every one of these shows was initially released all in one go on streaming services. These are the shows that were MEANT to be binge-watched. (You won't find Friends, or Lost, or Parks and Recreation below as they were all released weekly.) So, without further criteria, here are the best shꦐows to binge-watch right now.

10. The Haunting of Hill House

A family move into an old mansion with the hopes of renovating it, but stran♉ge things soon start going bump in the night. As supernatural events spiral, tragedy strikes. Sure, this might sound like every other horror story – it's what comes next that makes The Haunting of Hill House so special. Tꦰhe family moves on, the kids grow up, and the series follows how familial traumas come back to haunt us many years later. Pay close attention to any scene shot in the mansion; in every frame, there are ghosts hiding away. It's like a creepy game of Where's Wally. 

9. Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

It's incredible how much life we're capable of breathing into inanimate objects. A charismatic friend can glue two googly eyes on a sock and keep you en﷽tertained for hours – so imagine the empathy we’re able to feel for Jim Henson's fully crafted animatronic puppets. The Dark Crystal series acts as a prequel to the '80s movie of the same name. It follows a race of beings called Gelfling who begin resisting their terrifying overlords, the Skeksis, after discovering the depths of their rulers’ corruption. It's basically The Muppets multiplied to the power of The Lord of The Rings – and it also happens to be one of the most ambitious filmmaking projects of 🏅the last decade. 

7. Good Omens

David Tennant and Michael Sheen star in this six-part adaptation by Neil Gaiman of the seminal fantasy novel he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett in 1990. It’s the story of a strange bromance between an angel and a demon who first met while watching Adam and Eve flee the garden of Eden. Fast forward to the present day, and th🐓e apocalypse is looming. However, the demonic Crowley and goody-two-wings Aziraphale have gotten used to Earth (and each other) – thus springs a farcical story of two unlikely friends trying to save the world from their celestial employers.
