    3. Broad City

    Comedy Central

    If you're looking to literally laugh out loud (and who among us isn't at the moment) you can't go wrong with this critically-acclaimed comedy about Illana and Abbi, two friends in their twenties that live in New York City and seem to turn even the mundanity of day to day life into hilariously chaotic adventures.

    4. Billions

    Showtime

    Available: seasons 1-4, 48 episodes

    This complex drama is loosely based on an investigation by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bahara regarding a Wall Street hedge fund manager, and the legal battles surrounding it.

    5. True Blood

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-7, 80 episodes

    6. Home

    Channel 4

    Available: season one, five episodes

It follows his new life, and the unlikely bonds formed between him and the family whose car he hid in. You can watch all of the first season on NOW TV, and while it's very funny at points you still might want tissues to hand.

    7. Insecure

    9. Parks and Recreation

    NBC

    Available: seasons 1-7, 125 episodes

    The equivalent of a hug in the form of a TV show, the friendships formed between the members of the parks and rec department in the fictional town of Pawnee are seriously heartwarming but never overly saccharine.

    10. Veep

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-7, 65 episodes

    This incredibly sharp political satire follows the personal and professional life of Vice President Selina Meyers as she discovers the job isn't quite how she expected it to be.

    11. Everybody Hates Chris

    CBS

    Available: seasons 1-4, 88 episodes

    For a serious throwback, you can't go wrong with this family comedy set in the '80s and based on the teenage life of comedian Chris Rock. It's been off screens for over a decade but whether you fancy a rewatch or didn't see it the first time, it's well worth a viewing.

    12. Sex and the City

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-6, 94 episodes

    It's probably been years since you watched Sex and the City, but if you want to go through the loves and lives of Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte all over again, every episode is available. Just try not to think too much about how Carrie affords everything.

    13. The Newsroom

    14. The Sopranos

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-6, 86 episodes

    If you're sick of everyone telling you to watch The Sopranos, you may now actually have time to see it and get them to stop! The iconic drama shows Tony Soprano's struggle to balance his family life with his life of crime, and tbh there's a reason it's won so many awards.

    15. Westworld

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-3, 22 episodes

    The premise involves a Wild-West themed amusement park called, you guessed it, Westworld. It's a place where android "hosts" who are programmed to never hurt humans are at the service of wealthy guests who pay to indulge their fantasies at the park.

    16. Game of Thrones

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-8, 73 episodes

    Wanted to get into Game of Thrones at its peak but felt you had missed the boat or there was too much to catch up on? Well if it's still on your "to watch" list, you can stream every single episode now (and they're pretty long so it's gonna take you a good while).

    17. The Handmaid's Tale

    Hulu

    Available: seasons 1-2, 23 episodes

    You can stream the first two seasons of this dystopian series based on the famous Margaret Atwood novel, showing the journey of the lead character Offred as she navigates the totalitarian state of Gilead – a place where young women are forced to effectively be incubators and carry the children of powerful men.

    18. Chernobyl

    HBO

    Available: season one, five episodes

    This historical drama miniseries definitely isn't lighthearted viewing, so maybe not one to watch when you're in need of a boost. However if you do feel up to it, this is a gripping dramatisation looking at the stories of the people involved in and affected by the disaster.

    19. Girls

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-6, 62 episodes

    It follows four twentysomething friends in New York City who have no idea what they're doing with their lives (and the many mistakes they make along the way), with a focus on the main character Hannah who is financially cut off from her parents.

    21. Big Little Lies

    HBO

    Available: seasons 1-2, 14 episodes
