Here’s a quick guide to 15 popular TV shows currently getting a lot of attention. We’ll cover what each show is about, where you can stream it, the main actors, and any new episodes or important updates happening this week.

‘The Diplomat’ (2023– )

As a huge fan, I’m really hooked on Debora Cahn’s political thriller! It centers around Keri Russell, who plays Kate Wyler, the U.S. ambassador, and she’s juggling international crises while also dealing with a tricky marriage. The third season dropped on October 16, 2025, and thankfully, Netflix has already greenlit a fourth! The cast is fantastic too – Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi, and the always amazing Allison Janney all deliver great performances. You can find it streaming on Netflix, and I highly recommend checking it out.

‘Breaking Bad’ (2008–2013)

Breaking Bad, the acclaimed AMC drama that ran from 2008 to 2013, tells the story of Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who starts making methamphetamine with his former student, Jesse Pinkman. The show, created by Vince Gilligan and filmed in Albuquerque, consists of 62 episodes and is considered one of the best TV series ever made, and is now widely available for streaming.

‘Game of Thrones’ (2011–2019)

The popular HBO series based on George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ ran for eight seasons, with a total of 73 episodes, and finished on May 19, 2019. It tells the story of powerful families battling for control of the Iron Throne while facing a dangerous enemy from beyond the Wall. You can now watch the series on Max, and find episode information and bonus content on HBO’s website.

‘Task’ (2025)

I was completely hooked by this new HBO miniseries! It’s a crime drama created by Brad Ingelsby, and it follows an FBI team in Philadelphia as they go after dangerous gangs who are robbing each other. Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey are fantastic in the lead roles. It originally aired from September to October of 2025, and you can now stream all seven episodes on Max. What’s really cool is that they filmed the whole thing right here in Pennsylvania, which added a lot to the atmosphere.

‘Down Cemetery Road’ (2025– )

This British thriller, debuting October 29, 2025, is based on a novel by Mick Herron and stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. Adapted for Apple TV+ by Morwenna Banks and directed by Natalie Bailey, the series unfolds weekly through December and follows the investigation of an explosion and a missing girl in a quiet Oxford neighborhood.

‘Nobody Wants This’ (2024– )

I’m really enjoying this Netflix rom-com created by Erin Foster! It’s about Joanne, who’s a bit skeptical about religion and hosts a podcast, and Noah, who’s a rabbi. The show follows their relationship as they deal with family and their different beliefs. The first season dropped in September 2024, and the second season came out in October 2025 – they even added some new faces to the cast! Good news for fans – it’s been renewed for a third season! You can find it streaming on Netflix.

‘Slow Horses’ (2022– )

Apple TV+ is turning Mick Herron’s popular Slough House book series into a TV show. Starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden, each season covers one book and releases episodes weekly.

It began streaming on November 4, 2025, with multiple episodes released at once, followed by new episodes each week on Hulu (and through Disney+ in certain areas).
