As cable becomes a thing of the past, more people are relying solely on streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon.
The convenience of controlling how and where you watch your shows is too tempting to give up. But with so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to pick from a sea of titles.
Once you finish an amazing show it is easy to fall into a show hole. But fear not, this list is the remedy — containing a variety of genres with one thing in common: you should be watching them.
10 Drunk History
Drunk History is the show you wish your history teacher would have played in class.
Each episode features a new narrator and a different history lesson which is re-enacted by actors mouthing along with the narrator.
Derek Waters is the host and drinks along with the person telling the story, until they are both hilariously drunk.
It takes five to six hours to film each narrator’s part, and Waters makes sure each date and name is pronounced correctly.
You’ll find yourself rooting along with each narrator as they stumble through the story, while also learning interesting facts from history.

7 Seinfeld
This is a show about nothing. Literally. The creators of the show, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, hit gold when they created the four main characters: Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.
The show ran for nine seasons because each episode was written about real life situations, like losing your car in a parking garage, or being stuck in a train during the summer–endless material.
It helped that the writers were brilliant, of course. Seinfeld is the master of bottle episodes and has been recognized for its exceptional writing.
Most recently, Seinfeld was named No.2 Best Written TV Series of All Time by the Writers Guild of America.
6 Rick and Morty
Rick Sanchez shows up at his daughter’s doorstep after having been missing for 20 years and moves in with her family.

This cartoon is unique and aimed at a more mature audience. It handles darker themes about life contrasted by a bright, whimsical animation style.

The show follows Charlie Eppes and his brother Don, as they work together to solve crimes. Charlie is a genius mathematician who specializes in Applied Mathematics and Don is an FBI special agent whose team tackles especially difficult cases.
