Back in the 2000s, Scrubs was one of the most popular sitcoms on television. From the mind behind Ted Lasso and Shrinking, this medical comedy centers around the interns at Sacred Heart Hospital, where they try to navigate the sadness and weirdness of their daily jobs.

Over 15 years after the original finale, Scrubs has returned with a tenth season. We see J.D. (Zach Braff) return to Sacred Heart, reuniting with old friends and getting back to work with a new generation of interns.

This supernatural comedy begins with Eleanor (Kristen Bell) waking up in the afterlife after a freak accident. Though Eleanor seems to have got it made, she thinks that she was mistaken for someone else, knowing full well she was too bad for the Good Place.

As Eleanor tries to hide the truth from afterlife architect Michael (Ted Danson), she also tries to become a better person alongside her dysfunctional new friends. But as they soon find out, Hell doesn’t just come with fire and brimstone.

A toxic relationship serves as the narrative force in Tell Me Lies, based on Carola Lovering’s 2018 novel of the same name. Beginning in 2007, Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) is a freshman at Baird College. Lucy meets junior Stephen DeMarco (Jackson White) and instantly forms a connection.

What starts as a harmless college relationship transforms into an addictive and turbulent connection that plays out over eight years. Season 3 shows the characters trying to move on, only to be pulled back into each other’s lives and face the consequences of their bad decisions.

What We Do in the Shadows begins with familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) awkwardly waking up his vampire master, Nandor (Kayvan Novak), setting the stage for the most ridiculous and entertaining vampire mockumentary. The series follows Nandor as he lives on Staten Island with his vampiric roommates: Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadia (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch).

The vampires garner the most laughs, struggling to live in the modern world. However, Guillermo carries the show as he battles his conflicting feelings about wanting to become a vampire. Things only get more complicated when he discovers he is a descendant of legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing.

For the first time in franchise history, Alien went to television as a drama series in Alien: Earth. A prequel to the events of 1979’s Alien, this series examines how five corporations rule the planet and solar system. The first hybrid—a synthetic being with human consciousness—has been introduced to the world and could shape the course of humanity.

When a spaceship crashes on Earth, the hybrid Wendy (Sydney Chandler) and a group of soldiers investigate the remains. What they find will haunt their nightmares.

In the new society of Gilead, women are relegated to subservient roles, and due to the low birth rate, a class of women called “handmaids” is conscripted to bear children for the powerful male leaders of Gilead. The protagonist of The Handmaid’s Tale, Offred/June (Elisabeth Moss), is one such woman, forced to have ritualized sex with Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes) to provide him and his wife with a child. Living without any rights or power, Offred tries to survive each day, hoping to one day be free.

The Handmaid’s Tale is a masterful adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s grim novel of the same name, with excellent performances and gorgeous, oft-disturbing scene composition. While the story diverges from Atwood’s writing in the latter seasons, the troubling themes and startling revelations continue, culminating in the show’s sixth and final season.

In Only Murders in the Building, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are residents of an upscale New York building who come together because they share an obsessive passion for true crime. When they find themselves actually involved in one, the situation gets increasingly hairy, and their sleuthing skills are put to the test.

The show has had a long list of guests and supporting stars, including Tina Fey, Sting, Nathan Lane, Shirley MacLaine, Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, and Eugene Levy. The show recently returned with season 5, which follows the gang as they investigate the death of their doorman.

When he left his job in the world of fine dining to take over his family’s small-town sandwich shop, Carmen (Jeremy Allen White) had no idea what he was in for. Not only is he dealing with the grief of family loss, but he is also trying to navigate a professional world very different from the one he knows.

That includes the challenges of running a small business and doing so with a team of rough-around-the-edges employees who are initially none too pleased to have him bossing them around. Nonetheless, “Carmy” is determined to succeed professionally in The Bear. But to do so means sacrifice, often at the expense of his personal growth and happiness.

Shōgun is a spectacular reimagining of the 1980 TV miniseries and the James Clavell novel. Three people end up in the same place by happenstance: John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), an English sailor; Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a powerful daimyo; and Lady Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), a woman who has been dishonored by her family.

While the story in Shōgun is largely fictional, it’s also loosely based on real historical events, with each character based on a real person. Blackthorne, for example, is based on English navigator William Adams, who became a samurai. He was taught by Tokugawa Ieyasu, on whom Toranaga is based, while Mariko is modeled after Hosokawa Garasha, an aristocrat from the Sengoku period.

Donald Glover’s comedy-drama Atlanta follows a dogged college dropout named Earn (Glover), who sleeps at his on-again/off-again girlfriend’s place and struggles to provide for their child. When he learns that his cousin Alfred is starting to achieve success as a rapper — stage name “Paper Boi” — Earn becomes his manager.

There is not much of an overarching plot to Atlanta. Most episodes play out like short films, and the show experiments with a variety of stories and formats — one standout episode is presented entirely as an episode of a local interview show, complete with fake commercials. Daring and frequently poignant, Atlanta is one of the most exciting shows on TV today.

What South Park is to late-night animation, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is to sitcoms. Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, and Kaitlin Olson star as four best friends who kind of hate each other, while Danny DeVito rounds out the cast as the infamous Frank Reynolds.

The group often finds itself in some of the most absurd situations as the members push into uncharted, irreverent comedic territory for which the show is well known, usually as a result of their own botched schemes. The show completed its 17th season, and season 18 is now in development.

Looking after his three children with the help of his snarky butler, Niles (Daniel Davis), Fran brings happiness back into everyone’s lives as plenty of sitcom shenanigans unfold. While there is also plenty of romantic chemistry between Fran and Maxwell, the latter’s business partner, C.C. (Lauren Lane), tries to get in the way.
