Cast: Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook

Succession somehow manages to exist both in the present day and in its own bubble universe. This duality exists because of the world that the Roy family has created for themselves. This leading family is in charge of a multinational media and entertainment company and is therefore obscenely wealthy. They have an incredible amount of influence on the outside world, and yet so much of the series centers on their family dynamics and dysfunction that it's hard to believe that such a world exists. The characters of Succession are chaotic, messy, and selfish, but that’s what makes the show so captivating. The Roy siblings all want to run the company when their father, Logan (Brian Cox), inevitably steps down one day. As their allegiances to each other and their father change each season, it’s hard to know who to root for and who to root against because they are really not good (or serious) people. It’s almost impossible to stop watching once you’ve been sucked in. — Brynna Arens

Secret Invasion is six episodes of a thrilling science-fiction war drama centering on a unique conspiracy of aliens intent on conquering Earth. Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury alongside the return of Ben Mendelsohn as Talos, who hasn’t been seen since Captain Marvel, to team up against the shapeshifting Skrulls infiltration. Although Secret Invasion is heavy-handed with the political allegory, the exploration of friendship, as well as the intense action sequences, solidify the bingeable nature of the series. Plus, Secret Invasion welcomed multiple episodes of speculation, like Westworld, as to who is actually not a human. – Yael Tygiel
