This week’s lineup is tailor-made for a marathon viewing session, with each series offering compelling reasons to watch just one more episode. From cliffhanger endings to intricate plots, these shows are designed to be devoured.
Leading the binge-a-thon is House of Guinness, an eight-part period drama from the creators of Peaky Blinders. With its complex web of family alliances and betrayals, this series is impossible to watch passively. Each episode reveals new secrets and raises the stakes, making it an ideal candidate for a weekend-long deep dive into the Guinness family’s 1860s power struggles.
For a binge that will keep your heart racing, look no further than the third season of Alice in Borderland. This Japanese sci-fi series is built on suspense, with each deadly game ending in a way that forces you to see what happens next. The overarching mystery of the Borderland itself will keep you guessing and clicking “play” until the very end.
If you prefer your marathons to be full of psychological tension, the six-part Spanish thriller Angela is the perfect choice. As the titular character gets closer to escaping her abusive husband, the danger escalates, creating a tense and addictive narrative that you’ll want to see through to its conclusion in one sitting.
The lush world of Interview With The Vampire (Season 2 arriving September 30) is another perfect escape for a long watch, with its epic, centuries-spanning story. And for reality TV fans, the ninth season of Love is Blind (premiering October 1) will drop its episodes in batches, creating highly anticipated binge-watching events as viewers follow the couples’ journeys.
