Why Aren’t You Watching These Excellent Shows?
In this peak TV era, there are simply too many shows on the air.
While there's more selection than ever, the caveat is that many shows are criminally underrated.
We've compiled a list of the shows we think deserve far more recognition.
Scroll down to get up to speed, TV Fanatics.
1. Class of '07 - Prime Video
Not to be confused with the terrible Class of '09. This Prime Video comedy with a post-apocalyptic twist boasts an excellent cast, including Caitlin Stasey, Emily Browning, and Megan Smart. The world is ending thanks to an apocalyptic tidal wave and a group of women seek shelter at their high school campus. It's a lot of fun.
2. For All Mankind - Apple TV+
For All Mankind takes place in an alternate timeline in which Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov is the first human to land on the moon. The series follows the people who work for NASA as they attempt to bounce back. It features stellar acting, storylines that feel both timely and fresh, and awe-inspiring visuals that are only possible with a big budget. It's criminal that this show is not talked about more, and it strikes us as the type of show that would be at the top of the conversation had it launched on Netflix.
3. Nancy Drew - The CW
Kennedy McMann embodies The CW's iteration of the titular sleuth to perfection. The series is spooky, mysterious, and features compelling supernatural cases that sets it apart from the other shows in the genre. Oh, and it wouldn't be a CW show without some romance. Nancy Drew has it all, and it deserves much more recognition.
4. Platonic - Apple TV+
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne reunite for this hilarious Apple TV+ comedy series about two friends who reunite after years apart. They may have changed, but their unbreakable bond and desire for chaos get them into some wild situations.
5. School Spirits - Paramount+
At first glance, School Spirits might come off as your run-of-the-mill teen drama with some mysteries. But the series blossomed into one of the year's best shows, thanks to its portrayal of teen adolescence in a way many shows could never manage. Peyton List headlines as a school girl named Maddy Nears, who is stuck as a ghost at her school, aka the scene of a crime.
6. NCIS: Hawai'i - CBS
For some reason, the latest entry in the NCIS franchise has been overlooked. One of the best aspects of the series is that it sets itself apart from its predecessors, and in many cases, the characters are far more intriguing. With NCIS: Los Angeles gone, we're hoping more eyes will be on this one.
