While many of us enjoy being at home, being forced to stay at home is an entirely different experience — and all this time at home can definitely get boring. So instead of my usual posts, over the weeks ahead, I’ll be recommending you movies, books and TV shows you can watch and read while spending as much time as possible inside your house.

Last time, I shared my favorite movie recommendations for your time at home. This week, I’m sharing some of the best must-see TV shows you can binge-watch or catch up on! There’s a little something for everyone.

Read on for my favorite tv show recommendations.

If you like thrillers…

Fast-paced, suspenseful, and tense, thrillers are popular for their twists and turns. And if you like this genre, you have a ton to choose from when it comes to TV.

Any police procedural, like Law & Order, can be considered a thriller. There’s also the more dynamic take on past crimes à la Ripper Street, the alternate universe full of intrigue in The Man in the High Castle, the “can-do-it-all” heroes in shows like 24, the suffocation and danger at every corner of Prison Break and the “genius-but-damaged detective” storylines in Luther.

The first show I’ll recommend is not a new one, but it’s one that is very worth watching for the first time if you haven’t seen it. And the benefit of hindsight makes this an amazing show to re-watch.

1. Dexter (2006-2013)

Putting aside its controversial ending, this is a fantastic show and a great take on the serial killer genre. Brilliantly led by Michael C Hall as the titular Dexter, this TV series aired from 2006 to 2013.
