Something light
For easy evenings: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation, The Office, Friends and Modern Family, all twenty-minute episodes that fly by. Ted Lasso is the warmest comedy of recent years.
Something supernatural
Start with The Vampire Diaries, move on to The Originals and finish with Legacies, three connected series in the same world. Supernatural runs fifteen seasons, and Stranger Things is shorter and just as gripping.
Something tense
Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders and Dexter are the crime dramas people rave about, Prison Break and 24 the nail-biters, and Reacher and Slow Horses the newer favourites.
Something long
The procedurals are made for bingeing: NCIS, Criminal Minds, Bones, Castle and The Mentalist, each a case per episode across many seasons.
