Winter weather and the holidays are upon us, which is why now is the perfect time to cozy up on the couch under a pile of blankets and binge watch some TV. While there’s no shortage of television old and new to check out, here’s a couple of shows with just one season so far.
So not only does that mean you’re in for an easy marathon session, but that you can also get caught up before their respective second seasons drop in the coming weeks. As an added bonus, each of the series recommended below come from well known creative teams, so you’ll probably be able to easily determine if one of these shows is your jam or not.
