The rise of prestige television means Hollywood's best and brightest are pouring their most exciting ideas into long-form series.
If the Easter long weekend is stretching out ahead and calling for you to melt into the couch, these are the shows to binge.
The Last of Us
Two decades after a mass fungal infection tore through the population, turning neighbours into zombies, two survivors band together. They may be humanity's last hope.
This exceptionally popular show was adapted from a 2013 video game, by the same name.
The series is considered among the best videogame-into-television adaptations, meaning viewers are in for an action-packed adventure.
Lead actors Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey let viewers invest in their stories and inner lives while a complex relationship builds between the two.
The Last of Us is streaming on Binge and Foxtel.
Outer Banks
A North Carolina coastal town is divided between the wealthy seasonal residents and the working-class locals.
The show, now in it's third season, follows the conflict between the town's teenagers while they hunt for justice....and treasure.
The show's over-the-top melodrama, reminiscent of millennial favourite The OC, is balanced by a strong sense of adventure.
Outer Banks is streaming on Netflix.
Shrinking
Ignoring his training, a therapist starts telling his patients what he really thinks, breaching ethical barriers and changing the lives of people around him.
The show comes from the mind of Bill Lawrence, who brought us Ted Lasso, Cougar town and Scrubs.
Jason Segel and Harrison Ford star as the leads in this redemption romp, streaming on apple TV.
Poker Face
An amateur detective is on the run from a Las Vegas heavyweight and his henchman.
Along the way she stumbles across strange crimes she can't help but solve using her otherworldly ability to sniff out a lie.
Fans of Rian Johnson's other projects, including Knives Out, Looper and recent Star Wars films, will enjoy this series.
Starring Natasha Lyonne and a host of cameos including Chloe Sevigny, Adrien Brody and Ron Perlman, this show is for anyone who loves a good mystery-of-the-week.
The series is streaming on Stan.
Daisy Jones and the Six
Daisy Jones and the Six are a 1970's rock band on their way to superstar status, who fall apart at the height of their success.
Based on a Taylor Jenkins Reid's New York Times bestseller by the same name, it's all very Fleetwood Mac.
The show stars Riley Keough, grandchild of Elvis Presley, as Daisy Jones - belting our tunes just like her famous family members.
The show is streaming on Prime Video.
