Maniac: The show’s ten episodes range from anywhere between a 26 to a 47-minute runtime. You may find it a bit uneven at times, and the show really does get better as it unfolds, but it’ll be a one-weekend binge you won’t regret. Still, need to know the pitch? Two strangers, with complicated pasts, connect over mind-bending pills in a pharmaceutical trial where all is not as it seems.

The People vs OJ Simpson: An impeccable cast brings a vast range of fully realized characters to life. It features not only a fantastic Sarah Paulson but also comeback performances, of sorts, from Cuba Gooding Jr. and John Travolta. The writing, which has the responsibility of retelling a highly controversial true story to a new generation, walks on a narrow tightrope as it explores race, law, and celebrity, through the story of the high profile trial, in ten, tight one-hour episodes.

Last Chance U: The multi-season Emmy-winning docuseries is a deep-dive into the distinctly American culture of competitive college football. It paints a hard-boiled sports-meets-life portrait out of the access granted into the system’s grassroots structures. A single season is designed to be binge-watched over a weekend.

Chernobyl: The award-winning HBO limited series – a tense, incredibly sharp dramatization of the 1986 Nuclear accident – is arguably the finest prototype of modern television.

Gilmore Girls s1: Gilmore Girls ran for seven seasons from 2000 to 2007, and was followed by a Netflix revival in 2016. All the seven original seasons also stream now on Netflix, and you can watch the first season in a weekend’s time.

The Crown: Currently four seasons long, it clocks in at close to forty hours, meaning if you ditch hopes of sleep and meals you can hare through it in a weekend. Created by Peter Morgan, the show traces the history of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.

The Looming Tower: The Looming Tower is a Zero Dark Thirty-esque grim yet gripping mini-series about the events leading up to 9/11, and how key intelligence got lost amid ongoing clashes between the CIA and FBI.

Normal People: If you decide to binge the show, the 12 half-hour episodes will keep you company for a day, while the second day of your weekend will be spent weeping, thinking of old lovers.
