Over the past four or so years I think it's safe to say that I have binged entirely too many Tv shows. That being said I do use some of these shows as white noise while I'm writing, drawing, getting ready etc. I separated the shows into a few different categories and gave you some information on each including where to find them, how long they are and a brief summary (no spoilers included). I hope after reading this list you will find a new show if you're looking, and if you weren't looking before I'm sure you'll be hooked to something after. Also note that anything highlighted in yellow is still currently on air, but may not currently be in season. Also note that the ratings given are out of 5 and it is my personal rating for the show! The parentheses next to the title of the show are where you can watch the show.
