Heated RivalryTwo hockey players hide a decade long affair, and the show takes the hockey and the romance equally seriously.
CheersEleven years inside one bar, and American television never gets a better room or a better ensemble.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton StoryThe best thing the Bridgerton franchise has made, because Shonda Rhimes finally gives its fantasy a real subject: a marriage lived with mental illness.

Gilmore GirlsNobody talks like this, and twenty minutes in you stop caring, because the talking is the show.
