Matthew Rhys has been one of television’s MVPs for a long time, and he proves it once again here.Stream it HereThe Americans (2013–2018)FXSpeaking of Matthew Rhys: his spy series, The Americans, with his real-life with Keri Russell, is awesome. Its ‘80s setting makes it a fun period piece, but it gets into adventure and character drama like very few else on television.Stream it HereAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowSlow Horses (2022–)AppleSpeaking of spy shows. If that’s what you seek, we must recommend Slow Horses, which tells a fast-paced, six-episode season every year. Gary Oldman leads the way as the very gross but very competent leader of Slough House.Stream it HereReacher (2022 - )Amazon PrimeHe’s really big, he’s really smart, and he kicks a lot of ass. What more do you need?Stream it HereAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowLioness (2023–)Paramount +If you’re into the Sicario flavor of Taylor Sheridan’s work, this military spy thriller is the closest he’s done on the television side. It’s got an absolutely stacked cast that includes three Oscar winners: Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman.Stream it HereSterling Point (2026–)Amazon PrimeLook, sometimes you just have to embrace a good teen drama—and that’s exactly what Sterling Point is. This show is filled with major mystery and serious drama, but is also built around actually good characters played by young actors who really know what they’re doing (lead Ella Rubin is very obviously a future star). Plus, Mark Ruffalo’s son, Keen Ruffalo, is here. That’s fun, right?Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowChad Powers (2025–)HuluGlen Powell plays a hotshot college football QB who ruins his career by being an asshole—and then tries to reclaim it years later by going deep undercover as a character named “Chad Powers.” It’s a fun, light, silly comedy, led by a great performance from its dynamic leading man.Stream it HereThe Lowdown (2025–)FX/HuluA neo-noir mystery series starring Ethan Hawke? That was enough to sell us. It’s also really good, so there’s that too.Stream it HereAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowOnly Murders in the Building (2021–)HuluWhat's more bingeable than a whodunit?

The Penguin is technically a spinoff/sequel of sorts to the 2022 hit The Batman, but this crime saga—centered on Colin Farrell's despicable Oz Cobb—proves there's far more going on in Gotham City than the happenings of Wayne Manor and the Batcave. One of 2024's best and most watchable shows.Stream it HereAgatha All Along (2024)Marvel StudiosHas the Marvel Cinematic Universe been in something of a slump? Uh, yeah. Is Agatha All Along a delightful, fun, romp? Yes! Coming from the same team as WandaVision (which you'll find a little further down on this list), Agatha All Along is led by a really fun cast that includes Kathryn Hahn, Joe Locke, and Aubrey Plaza. It's a good time and also manages to introduce some vital and enjoyable Marvel lore to the mix as well. This should be a step back in the right direction for the mega franchise—and one you'll burn through in short order.Stream it HereAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowRipley (2024)NetflixAndrew Scott follows in the footsteps of Dennis Hopper, Matt Damon, and John Malkovich to play author Patricia Highsmith's famous con artist/sociopath/murderer Tom Ripley in Netflix's Emmy-nominated Ripley, The show is engrossing, wonderfully shot, and you won't want to stop watching once you get started.Stream it HereFallout (2024–)Amazon PrimeWho says video game adaptations can't be good? After The Last of Us and, now, Fallout, things are certainly trending in the right direction. Of course, it helps when you have Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy as producers and a cast led by the incredibly talented Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins—but Fallout is just a good old fashioned big show done well. You'll burn through season 1 and be raring at the big for season 2 in no time.Stream it Here Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowPresumed Innocent (2024–)AppleAre we seeing the revival of the legal thriller?

After all, a world of magic and dragons is a ruthless one.Stream it HereMilan Polk is an Editorial Assistant for Men's Health who specializes in entertainment and lifestyle reporting, and has worked for New York Magazine's Vulture and Chicago Tribune.
