Whether you’re challenging yourself to dry January, or the weather is far too cold where you are to even think of going out of the house, spending a Saturday in has never sounded better. I love a night out as much as anyone, but the older I get, the more and more appealing it is to actually spend my weekends taking a break from the liveliness of the work week (plus, waking up without a hangover is extra magical once you hit your mid twenties). I’ve actually started to look forward to the weekends where I don’t have any plans, and one of my favorite ways to fill my time is catching up on all of the great shows that have come out on our favorite streaming platforms.
It seems like now more than ever shows have gotten incredibly easy to binge. With the popularity of limited series, seasons with fewer episodes, and shorter episodes all together, it’s easier than ever to keep up on all of the good content out there. I can’t think of a better way to spend a cozy Saturday in than with my favorite snacks and good show that I can breeze through in no time. If you’re not sure where to start, look no further. We’ve got 20 of the best bingeable TV shows you can binge on your Saturday in.
1. The Sex Lives of College Girls

I can say from personal experience that it’s absolutely possible to binge this entire show in one evening.
