With the advent of streaming services, realising the season of a show in its entirety has become more of a norm than a rarity. Add to that the sheer number of things released at any given moment, and come the weekend, you are spoiled for choice when thinking about what to watch. But what if you want to start and finish something in that allotted time?Well, there are several shows that are ideal when it comes to that department. Taste is subjective, and what you might want to marathon isn’t the same thing as someone next to you, so here we’re focusing on two types of shows: easy to watch ‘comfort food,’ and mysteries that beg you to watch the next episode.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});IMDbDerry GirlsWith three seasons and mostly 20-something-minute episodes, Derry Girls is almost tailor-made for bingeing. Erin and her friends are funny, chaotic, and instantly lovable, while the compact episodes make it dangerously easy to keep clicking “next.”IMDbFleabagFleabag only runs for two seasons, making its complete story unusually manageable. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s comedy mixes filthy humor, awkwardness, grief, romance, and surprisingly emotional character work, creating episodes that are short enough to make an entire season disappear remarkably quickly.IMDbThe Good PlaceFour seasons and 53 episodes sounds substantial, but The Good Place’s 22-minute episodes make the total commitment surprisingly manageable. More importantly, its constantly evolving afterlife premise keeps introducing questions and twists that make stopping at the end of an episode difficult.IMDbTed LassoTed Lasso is practically comfort television distilled into sitcom form, following an endlessly optimistic American coach trying to manage an English football club. Even with its newly released fourth season, the warm characters, humor, and short episodes make it exceptionally easy to binge.IMDbThe BearThe Bear can be stressful rather than relaxing, but its short episodes and intensely serialized storytelling make it exceptionally bingeable. With ten episodes in its fourth season, it is easy to tell yourself you’ll watch one more before suddenly finishing the whole thing.IMDbRussian DollRussian Doll starts with a deceptively simple premise: Nadia repeatedly dies and returns to her 36th birthday party. The mystery behind the time loop keeps expanding, while the series’ two-season length makes discovering exactly what is happening unusually easy to binge.IMDbOnly Murders in the BuildingOnly Murders in the Building combines cozy comedy with an ongoing murder mystery, making it particularly effective binge material. Charles, Oliver, and Mabel keep uncovering new suspects and secrets, encouraging viewers to immediately find out what happens next.IMDbThe Queen’s GambitThe Queen’s Gambit is only seven episodes, yet packs an entire coming-of-age story into its runtime. Beth Harmon’s rise through competitive chess creates a remarkably propulsive narrative, with each episode naturally pushing toward the next tournament and eventual confrontation.IMDbMare of EasttownMare of Easttown gives viewers seven episodes to solve a murder alongside Kate Winslet’s troubled detective. The small-town investigation steadily introduces new suspects and revelations, while the limited-series format guarantees that the central mystery actually has an ending.IMDbBaby ReindeerBaby Reindeer consists of just seven episodes, but its unsettling story makes stopping difficult. Richard Gadd plays a struggling comedian whose seemingly harmless interaction with a woman develops into an obsession, with each episode revealing more about the increasingly disturbing situation.IMDbBlack BirdBlack Bird has only six episodes, with a premise that practically demands completion. Jimmy Keene enters a dangerous prison arrangement to befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall and extract a confession, creating a psychological cat-and-mouse story built around what Hall will finally reveal.IMDbBodyguardBodyguard wastes almost no time getting started. Richard Madden plays a veteran assigned to protect a controversial politician, while political conspiracies and questions about whom he can trust keep multiplying. Its six-episode first season makes finding out the truth wonderfully difficult to postpone.IMDbThe UndoingThe Undoing gives viewers six episodes of murder, marriage, secrets, and increasingly uncomfortable revelations. Nicole Kidman plays a therapist whose seemingly perfect life collapses after a violent death, while the disappearance of her husband leaves viewers constantly questioning what actually happened.IMDbBehind Her EyesBehind Her Eyes is practically engineered around its ending. The six-episode limited series follows a single mother caught between her psychiatrist boss and his mysterious wife, steadily adding unsettling secrets until the final revelation changes everything.IMDbAdolescenceAdolescence lasts only four episodes, each running roughly an hour, but stopping between them feels almost impossible. A thirteen-year-old is accused of murdering a classmate, and the series keeps shifting attention toward the question of what actually happened and why.The post 15 of the Best Shows To Binge In A Single Sitting appeared first on Den of Geek.
