Four seasons available to stream and is definitely worth a good, old-fashioned binge. Funny show with a great cast including Andy Samberg, Terry Crews and more.
"Vikings"

If your tastes tend to historic dramas on the high seas that are soaked in as much blood and gore as salt water (if that's possible), then here's your show. (Unless you prefer blood-soaked seas which are also filled with expletives -- then "Black Sails.") The History Channel's "Vikings" just got better and better; three seasons currently available to stream.
"Bob's Burgers"

The pilot of this show is promising, but doesn't begin to suggest what the show would become: a witty masterpiece that's nothing like any of Seth MacFarlane's shows or even "The Simpsons." Seven seasons available to stream makes this perfect for binge-watching.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Otherwise known as "M.A.O.S.H.I.E.L.D.," the second season is absolutely the road to travel here, especially with Kyle MacLachlan aboard as Doctor Evil. He's great, as always. Plus, the second season just feels more... fun and less bound by the hard rules of the Marvel universe. This is one of the most improved series on TV.

The first season had its ups and its downs, and only a full-on binge will determine which episode was which. But the show did seem to get better late in the season.

Hulu came to the rescue when FOX canceled Mindy Kaling's comedy in May 2015, so the streaming site is home to new episodes from season 4 onward. The comedy sees Kaling (as an OB/GYN also named Mindy) navigate hilarious yet relatable situations in her professional, personal and romantic life.

David E. Kelly's late '90s/early 2000s legal drama made a bona fide star of Calista Flockhart. A great flashback if you're feeling nostalgic for that not-so-long-ago time period, and with worthwhile feminist talking points, to boot.
