Hysteria!
- RT score: 91%
- Age rating: TV-MA
- Seasons: 1
- Episode length: ~60 minutes
- Main cast: Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, Nikki Hahn, Bruce Campbell
Hysteria! is the horror-comedy series I've been waiting for, and it's got everything you could ever need. Set against a 'Satanic Panic' backdrop, it follows a struggling band who decide to capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by rebranding themselves as a Satanic metal band, and they end up becoming the targets of the town's witch hunt, not helped by the fact there's been some weird things going on in Happy Hollow.
If this isn't enough to convince you of its brilliance, it's got horror legend himself Bruce Campbell (yes, Ash!) as the head of police and the 'voice of reason'. The trailer is also packed full of Evil Dead references, so if you're a horror fan like me, you'll geek out over that!
Parks and Recreation
- RT score: 93%
- Age rating: TV-PG
- Seasons: 7
- Episode length: 22–42 minutes
- Main cast: Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Nick Offerman, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott
If it's a bingeworthy sitcom you're after, Parks and Recreation is perfect. Not only does it have a stellar cast of comedic talent, it also has a lot of depth to it in many ways and it's become one of my favorite long-running shows of all time. Every character is so well developed and it's a joy to follow them through all their highs and lows, balanced out with some laugh-out-loud and quotable moments (I quote Ron Swanson at least once a week, seriously).
If you're not familiar with the premise, it follows public officials in the fictional city of Pawnee as they work together to try and make their city a better place, often with mixed results. There's never been a better mix of misfits and every episode is a complete joy. I rewatch this one often. I highly recommend checking out Adam Scott's brilliant performance in Apple TV Plus' Severance season 2 when it returns next year.

Mrs. Davis
- RT score: 93%
- Age rating: TV-MA
- Seasons: 1
- Episode length: 22–42 minutes
- Main cast: Betty Gilpin, Jake McDorman, Andy McQueen, Margo Martindale, David Arquette
In this beautiful mix of comedy, sci-fi and drama, we follow Sister Simone as she teams up with her ex-boyfriend to destroy a powerful artificial intelligence after she's ousted from her convent. This AI controls the world and is known as Mrs. Davis, and it's up to Simone to put a stop to this totalitarian chaos.
You'd be forgiven for assuming the title Mrs. Davis refers to the protagonist as I incorrectly did, but this show is full of surprises and at eight episodes it's a great one to settle in and binge watch. With some great names like Betty Gilpin, Margo Martindale and David Arquette, it's got some serious star power behind it too.

She has written several reviews in her time, starting with a small self-ran blog called Lucy Goes to Hollywood before moving onto bigger websites such as What's on TV and What to Watch, with TechRadar being her most recent venture. Her interests primarily lie within horror and thriller, loving nothing more than a chilling story that keeps her thinking moments after the credits have rolled. Many of these creepy tales can be found on the streaming services she covers regularly.
When she’s not scaring herself half to death with the various shows and movies she watches, she likes to unwind by playing video games on Easy Mode and has no shame in admitting she’s terrible at them. She also quotes The Simpsons religiously and has a Blinky the Fish tattoo, solidifying her position as a complete nerd.
