10 Underrated TV Shows You Can Binge in Just 8 Hours

Sometimes binge-watching isn’t about finding a five-season obsession. When your brain is fried and you want a clear beginning and end, a compact series that you can finish in one sitting is ideal. Here are 10 underrated shows you can start and finish in eight hours or less.

Love Life is a rom-com anthology that follows Darby Carter across a decade of relationships, with Anna Kendrick anchoring the first season and William Jackson Harper leading Season 2 as a new protagonist. Wet Hot American Summer reunites its original cast to play teen counselors in a knowingly absurd prequel, with each season running roughly four hours.

Normal People adapts Sally Rooney’s novel into a 12-episode study of Connell and Marianne’s fraught romance from school to Trinity College Dublin, while Maniac offers a visually bold, 10-episode sci-fi drama starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill and directed by Cary Fukunaga.
