This heartfelt, and sometimes heart-wrenching romance follows Emma and Dexter, who meet for the first time on their graduation night, and go their separate ways the next day. The story takes us through the years, as they grow up and grow apart, but somehow reunite on the same date every passing year.

The relatable struggles of these characters, their growth, and their undeniable chemistry have made audiences around the world fall in love with them and the unbreakable bond that keeps bringing them back to each other.

2. Manhunt (7.2/10)

7 Episodes

There have been many documentaries about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but Mahunt straddles the line between fact and fiction, unfolding in the immediate aftermath of the president's death. The period drama takes audiences on a nail-biting race to catch the killer, while also exploring the circumstances surrounding the fight to preserve Lincoln's legacy and his plans for Reconstruction. .

While Manhunt received high ratings, it polarized viewers. Some have criticized the show for being more geared towards history buffs, while others have enjoyed seeing the well-known events from a different perspective.

3. 3 Body Problem (7.7/10)

8 Episodes

Available on: Netflix

This dark sci-fi comes from the now infamous team of showrunners behind the legendary Game of Thrones, but it's nothing like it. The series deals with aliens, mysterious deaths, and the height of the Cultural Revolution in China, though the plot is heavily modernized and Westernized. The series centers on a group of "brilliant" friends trying to solve an existential mystery before the world as they know it unravels.

Based on the book of the same name by Liu Cixin, 3 Body Problem is a deeply layered, highly bingeable story that demands your attention and ends almost too quickly.

4. Griselda (7.2/10)

6 Episodes

Available on: Netflix

This thrilling biographical crime drama starring Sofia Vergara dives into the real-life story of Griselda Blanco, who built one of the most powerful cartels in history. From Medellin to Miami, discover the story behind the ruthless businesswoman known as the Black Widow.

The series offers an excellent blend of fact and fiction for dramatic effect, resulting in a gritty and gripping watch that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

5. Ted (8/10)

7 Episodes

Available on: Peacock

Not to be confused with the movie, Seth McFarlane's Ted now has a chaotic series of his own. The rambunctious and beloved Ted the Bear is back (in time), with the series picking up where it left off when he was brought to life by John, a teenager living with his family.

The less foul-mouthed Ted is sure to be a good friend and a bad influence as the series is set in the nostalgic year of 1993.

6. The Regime (6.1/10)

6 Episodes

Available on: Max

Kate Winslet stars in this dark political satire as the nonchalant chancellor of a European nation that seems to be falling apart from within its palace walls.

Bordering on the absurd and off to a shaky start with mixed reviews for the first episode, The Regime seems to have taken off despite our initial doubts, thanks in large part to its self-centered central character, who makes the show brilliantly entertaining.

7. A Gentleman in Moscow ( 6.8/10)

8 Episodes

Available on: Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

Set in the 1920s and based on the novel of the same name, A Gentleman in Moscow takes place at the end of the Russian Revolution and follows a fallen Russian aristocrat who is placed under permanent house arrest. Trapped in a dusty hotel attic, the Count witnesses the changes in the political landscape from his imprisonment, using his wit and learning the value of building relationships with the hotel staff to get him through his time.

The series is an excellent depiction of the human spirit, both dark and cheerful, and includes elements of historical accuracy upon which the entertainment aspects of the series are built.
