There’s so much great TV out there these days, you’re probably missing what could be your new favorite show without even realizing it. So let IGN help you out, as we list nine current shows you should binge.
We’re skipping over the shows that are among the most obvious – We don’t think you need us to tell you to watch Game of Thrones and even a recent series like Stranger Things is on almost everyone's radar at this point. Below you’ll find a mixture of critical darlings, buzzed about series and a couple IGN writer favorites. We're in the era of "Peak TV," and we know you can't watch everything, but these shows are worth your time!
Let’s start off with Starz’s’ excellent pirate drama, Black Sails. Yes, it’s a series that got off to a slow start in its first season, but trust us, you want to stick with this one. Serving as a prequel of sorts to Treasure Island, it mixes together both fictional and real life pirates and has evolved into an incredibly engrossing and cool series filled with great characters, surprising twists and some very impressive action scenes. With the final season coming in 2017, this is a great time to catch up.

You’re the Worst might be a show about bad people, but it will only take a couple of episodes to completely fall in love with Gretchen, Jimmy, Lindsay and Edgar. The thirty-minute episodes stand on their own as great comedic stories, but you'll have binged through six before you even realize a few hours have passed by. Gretchen and Jimmy's love story constantly subverts rom com stereotypes, and showrunner Stephen Falk and his writing team keep things consistently hilarious with their zippy, biting dialogue. By the time the squad's Sunday Funday adventure rolls around, you'll be wanting to eat breakfast tacos and drink trash juice with these four unlikely heroes who prove that it's OK to be the worst when you're having as much fun as they are.

Rectify's is a sublime and rewarding binge. Featuring stellar and fearless performances from Aden Young, Abigail Spencer, and Clayne Crawford, Rectify is the beautiful, sullen story of a man released from death row after 19 years and all the challenges involved with reacclimatizing to society and reuniting with family. It moves at a slower pace than most other modern shows, but its meditative and poetic quality make for a truly unique and moving tale of redemption and forgiveness.

If, somehow, you've managed to avoid all the buzz surrounding USA's addictive, homage-filled study of hacker paranoia then it's imperative you get on board. We're now halfway through the second season, so there's still time to catch up before the curtain closes on this summer's batch of episodes. Rami Malek and Christian Slater top-line this rabbit hole of a conspiracy story that features an isolated, off-kilter hacker who gets roped into a massive cyber attack on one of the largest multi-national conglomerates in the world. Mr. Robot looks and sounds like nothing else on TV, making for one hell of a manic marathon.
