But you’re all caught up on [_Transparent_](http://time.com/4129514/transparent-season-2-review/) and [_Master of None_](http://time.com/4111777/master-of-none-aziz-ansari-review/), and you ignored your family to binge [_Making a Murderer_](http://time.com/4167915/making-a-murderer-steven-avery-juror/)over Christmas. Critical darlings like _Sherlock_ _,_ _Veep_, _Mad Men_? You’ve seen them all. Do not worry! There is a show out there for you to stream this weekend. Here is a list of all those shows you’ve been meaning to watch or completely missed that are solid gold. _Read next:_ [_These Are TIME’s Most Anticipated New TV Shows of 2016_](http://time.com/4163331/new-tv-shows-2016/) ### _Sports Night_  Sports Night. ABC Photo Archives/Getty Images [**On Hulu**](http://www.hulu.com/sports-night) _Sports Night_ is Aaron Sorkin at the top of his game. It has all the _West Wing_\-style walking and talking you love and none of the _Newsroom_\-esque pompous speeches you hate. And there’s Josh Charles’ charm to boot. The only catch: the TV sports show drama was canceled after two season, so don’t get _too_ attached. ### _BoJack Horseman_  Bojack Horseman. Netflix [**On Netflix**](https://www.netflix.com/title/70300800) You may be confused by this satirical cartoon dramedy at first. (No, they don’t ever explain why animals can talk and are living among humans.) But stick with it. The show moves beyond stoner comedy when it delves into the psychology of its protagonist, a washed up TV star (and horse) who refuses to grow up. ### _Catastrophe_  Catastrophe. Ed Miller—Amazon Studios [**On Amazon Prime**](http://www.amazon.com/Catastrophe-Season-1/dp/B00X8UKOUK) The plot may sound a lot like _Knocked Up_—two people decide to try to raise a baby together after a fling ends in a pregnancy—but [Catastrophe](http://time.com/3923400/review-catastrophe-amazon/) is so much more real. Rob and Sharon navigate the issues of a serious relationship in just a few months, and it’s, well, a catastrophe. (For example, Rob’s romantic proposal ends in a public urination incident.) ### _Black Mirror_  Black Mirror. Netflix [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/search/black%20mirror) [_Black Mirror_](http://time.com/3449069/jon-hamm-black-mirror/) is like _The Twilight Zone_ on performance enhancing drugs. The chilling, dystopian anthology series questions what technology pushed to its limit will do to humanity. It isn’t pretty, but it is fascinating. Expect _major_ plot twists in every episode. ### _You’re the Worst_  You're the Worst. Byron Cohen—FX [**On Hulu**](http://www.hulu.com/youre-the-worst) Just when you thought the romantic comedy genre was played out, it turns out there’s one more twist: pair two terrible people together and see what happens. Though romantic leads Jimmy and Gretchen can be sarcastic, bitter and obnoxious, they’re also hilarious. And the show turns out to be a surprisingly sweet tale of two people who absolutely deserve each other. ### _Veronica Mars_  Veronica Mars. Justin Lubin—Getty Images [**On Amazon Prime**](http://www.amazon.com/Veronica-Mars-Season-One/dp/B0031KC8OC) Before she was [Sarah Marshall](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800039/), Kristen Bell played a high school sleuth in this surprisingly dark, utterly addictive show with one of the best love triangles on TV. And this isn’t a case-a-week type of deal: [_Veronica Mars_](http://time.com/tag/veronica-mars/) really delves into its twisted mysteries, and in the last season takes on the campus rape epidemic years before the problem finally caught the [White House](http://time.com/80297/white-house-releasing-plan-to-reduce-campus-sexual-assault/)‘s attention. ### _Happy Endings_  Happy Endings. Richard Cartwright—Getty Images [**On Hulu**](http://www.hulu.com/happy-endings) All three seasons of this canceled-too-soon sitcom are finally available to stream. Don’t be fooled by the sextet _Friends_ set up: This show is way wackier with way less drama. (Or as certain characters would say on [_Happy Endings_](http://time.com/3616274/happy-endings-team-frauds/) “draaaamaaaa.”) The creator has talked about a possible reunion, so vote with your binges! ### _The Honorable Woman_  The Honourable Woman. SundanceTV [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/watch/80018053?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C0%2Cd0a357d3fab5d216bca6e8345725ab848559e5a0%3Aed829a94a6db03fe3c4cc83150ebe8a533c9c42c) For _Homeland_ fans fed up with _Homeland_, this is the [Middle East espionage thriller](http://time.com/3060484/review-the-honorable-woman-sundance/) you’ve been looking for. Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as the Jewish and British daughter of a man who dealt arms to Israel before he was murdered in front of his children. She is trying to use her money and clout to promote peace between the Israelis and Palestinians when terrorists kidnap someone close to her. A complicated plot involving politicians, spies and terrorists unravels. ### _Battlestar Galactica_  Battlestar Galactica Syfy—Getty Images [**On Hulu**](http://www.hulu.com/battlestar-galactica) Already watched [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4150168/review-star-wars-the-force-awakens/) 10 times and looking for another space opera? _Battlestar Galactica_ is a seriously underrated drama. (Awards shows often overlook sci-fi.) The show follows the last remaining humans after an attack by a group of robots called Cylons—who, by the way, can take human form. Anyone could be a spy. ### _Freaks and Geeks_  Freaks and Geeks. Chris Haston—Getty Images [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/search/freaks%20and%20?jbv=70253797&jbp=0&jbr=0) Who knew this one-season show from 1999 about high school nerds and burnouts would produce some of the most prolific and well-known comedians of the 2010s? [James Franco](http://time.com/4121051/james-franco-hulu-112263/), [Seth Rogen](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/19/neighbors-2-trailer), [Jason Segel](http://time.com/3897949/jason-segel-david-foster-wallace-end-of-the-tour/) and [Linda Cardellini](http://time.com/3859660/linda-cardellini-mad-men/) all got their start on this critically acclaimed series from Judd Apatow and Paul Feig. ### _Twin Peaks_  Twin Peaks. CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/search/twin%20peaks?jbv=70153408&jbp=0&jbr=0) The cult hit was arguably the most unusual show to ever air on network TV, and definitely the one with the most flannel (seriously, so much flannel). _Twin Peaks’_ presence in pop culture has lingered even decades after the show ended. David Lynch’s chilling and bizarre aesthetic has been copied by shows like _True Detective_ and lampooned by comedies like _The Simpsons_. Now, it’s [returning to TV](http://time.com/4163331/new-tv-shows-2016/) this year, so here’s your chance to catch up. ### _Party Down_  Party Down. Starz [**On Hulu**](http://www.hulu.com/party-down) What do you do when your acting dreams fail? Become a caterer. Each episode, these wannabe actors serve up cocktail wieners at a different event, from an after party for porn awards to a young Republicans bash, to predictably hilarious ends. This show stars probably some of your favorite comedians, including Jane Lynch, Adam Scott, Ken Marino and Lizzy Caplan. ### _Luther_  Luther. Steffan Hill—BBC [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/search/luther?jbv=70175633&jbp=0&jbr=0) To truly appreciate [Idris Elba](http://time.com/4184830/idris-elba-diversity-tv-film-oscars/), you must see him at his best—or worst? He plays a brilliant but unhinged detective who engages in psychological duels with murderers—most notably Ruth Wilson before she starred on [_The Affair_](http://time.com/3482370/review-the-affair-more-than-meets-the-i/). Tune in for the sparks that fly between those two. ### _Friday Night Lights_  Friday Night Lights. Bill Records—Getty Images [**On Netflix**](http://www.netflix.com/search/friday%20night?jbv=70136125&jbp=0&jbr=0) Yes, it’s really that good. [_Friday Night Lights_](http://time.com/4054154/friday-night-lights-reunion-porter-charles-lauria/) fans are seriously passionate about Dillon football and with good reason. The drama about a high school football team in Texas had a heart of gold and some unbelievable performances, particularly from [Kyle Chandler](http://time.com/3735985/kyle-chandler-netflix-bloodline-friday-night-lights/) as the coach, [Connie Britton](http://time.com/4026529/connie-britton-hair-feminism/) as his wife and, in later seasons, [Michael B. Jordan](http://time.com/4122527/michael-b-jordan-creed-hollywood/) as a player. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4190251/binge-watch-stream-shows-snowstorm-blizzard/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4190251/binge-watch-stream-shows-snowstorm-blizzard/"},"headline":"Here's What You Should Binge-Watch While It's Snowing","datePublished":"2016-01-22T19:10:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:00:33.941Z","description":"It's the perfect time to catch up on all of the shows you've been meaning to stream","url":"https://time.com/4190251/binge-watch-stream-shows-snowstorm-blizzard/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4190251/binge-watch-stream-shows-snowstorm-blizzard/","name":"Here's What You Should Binge-Watch While It's Snowing"}}]}] ```
