The best series to watch right now.

No endless scroll and no filler. Eight series worth starting tonight, each with a plain reason to watch, and a calm place to keep them once you do.

Updated September 15, 2026

The best series to watch right now include Severance, Shogun, The Bear, Silo, Slow Horses, Andor, House of the Dragon, and The Penguin. Below is why each one earns the time, plus how to keep your spot in every one of them without a spreadsheet.

Eight worth your evenings

Severance
Sci-fi thriller
Office workers surgically split their work memories from their home memories, then start to wonder what they can't remember. Cerebral, precise, and quietly unnerving.
Shogun
Historical epic
A shipwrecked English pilot is swept into a feudal-Japan power struggle. Sweeping, mostly subtitled, and beautifully made.
The Bear
Comedy-drama
A fine-dining chef takes over his late brother's chaotic sandwich shop. Loud, tender, and stressful in the best possible way.
Silo
Dystopian mystery
Ten thousand people live in a giant underground silo, and no one is allowed to ask why. A slow burn that rewards patience.
Slow Horses
Spy thriller
A department of washed-up MI5 agents keeps stumbling into real danger. Sharp, funny, and led by a gloriously grubby Gary Oldman.
Andor
Sci-fi drama
A grounded Star Wars story about how a rebellion actually begins. Tense, adult, and beautifully written, even if you're not a fan of the films.
House of the Dragon
Fantasy
A Targaryen civil war generations before Game of Thrones. Dragons, scheming, and succession played for keeps.
The Penguin
Crime saga
The rise of Gotham's Penguin, grimy and operatic, anchored by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell.

Common questions

Good to know.

How do I keep track of where I am across all of these?

Add them to ShowSavant and mark the last episode you watched. ShowSavant keeps your place in each series, so when you come back it shows you exactly what's next, even if you're watching six shows at once.

Can I see where each of these is streaming?

Yes. ShowSavant shows you which of your services streams each title, so you're not hopping between apps to find it.

What if a show is between seasons?

ShowSavant moves returning shows into a Between Seasons state and watches for the next season, so a series you love doesn't quietly disappear from your list while it's off the air.
