This show will make you so happy and so angry at the same time because as soon as one crime seems to be solved, BANG! Someone else is dead and you now need to find a way to get your heartbeat to slow down. Again. HTGAWM has such diverse characters and great writing which makes it 10x better. Plus, three words. All The Boys. You have been enlightened.

             

• Jane The Virgin

This show. Yes. It has everything you need if there's not a specific genre you like. Crazy storylines, action packed mysteries, stupidly cute love stories and family filled comedy. It tells the story of Jane who is a virgin and engaged. Cute, right? Yeah, that's until a doctor accidentally artificially inseminates her. Oops. Especially oops because the doctor that artificially inseminated her is the sister of Jane's ex-boyfriend. Yikes. Need I say more? This show is a must watch!

We follow Eddie Huang and his parents who move to Orlando from Chinatown and try to get used to the new things around them. This show will have you crying with laughter and wanting discover the magical things about your own culture. I'll get the popcorn ready.

• Empire

If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind breaking into a dance frenzy while watching T.V. then this is definitely a show you should watch. With amazing musical performances and tension filled scenes, this show shows us the lives of CEO of Empire Entertainment, Lucious Lyon and his challenge to decide which one of his three sons will take over his business after he is diagnosed with an incurable disease. Also his ex-wife the fabulous Cookie Lyon is out of jail and ready to take back what she is owed for taking the fall for the drug money that started the business.

• Stranger Things

This show has got to be on your watch list! Seriously, if you haven't seen an episode you're missing out boo. Stranger Things is all about a 12 year old boy Will who is walking home one day, probably thinking that he was going to go to his house, have a nice glass of warm milk and go to bed. You know, as 12 year olds do. But then, boom! Out of nowhere he is snatched by some freaky-deaky-Mr Sneaky mysterious force! This leads to his two best friends going to find him, but first they find a strange little girl with extraordinary powers. Now if that doesn't sound like a show you would want to watch, I don't know how to help you.  

• Blackish

Blackish is a family show that every POC will be able to identify with. It's all about Dre who is trying to make sure his kids embrace their black identity in a white washed world. While being extremely hilarious it talks about serious issues like police brutality and the 'N' word and always gives a teaching moment to those watching it. The lovable characters and the funny story lines are definite reasons you should add Blackish to your watch list.  

• Scream Queens

Scream Queens is definitely Mean Girls meets Pretty Little Liars, so if you like any of those you'll love this! It's all about the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority which is led by the evil but fabulous witch with a capital B, Chanel Oberlin and her minions. In the show we rediscover a 20 year old murder mystery and the students being targeted by a evil serial killer who wears the school Red Devil Mascot. Each episode is laugh out loud hilarious and will leave you asking one question... Who is the killer?!

Atlanta is a brand new show that you should 100% check out! It's all about Earn who is trying his hardest to be a good father and provide for his daughter while also trying to make his girlfriend see him as more than well... some broke bloke.

Atlanta is extremely funny and is way different from any other show that you will watch. The crazy characters and relatable life lessons are enough to make you want to drop everything and watch every episode. Like, right now.
