Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Riverdale, You, The Good Place, Friends, and The Office are just some of the most popular teen TV shows that are binged for hours and hours nightly. But what about the TV shows you scroll past when wanting to watch your favorite episode of Friends for the hundredth time? It may be hard to believe, but different TV shows exist! So crazy, right? On Netflix, one of the most underrated, and most informative TV shows is Diagnosis. Produced by The New York Times, Dr. Lisa Sanders uses the power of the internet to diagnose different cases of real people living with life-altering medical mysteries. This show not only informs you about different types of rare illnesses, but also gives you a glimpse into how different doctors and non-doctors think and choose to act in different scenarios. In this case, they are placed in a stressful a situation where they must diagnose a person suffering from an “unsolvable” illness. Another TV show that is a must-watch is called Red Oaks. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video and taking place in the summer of 1985, the show follows a student working at New Jersey's Red Oaks Country Club over

the summer. The main character, Daniel, just wants to relax, but finds himself burdened with the stress of preparing for college and balancing his social life. This show is a must-watch, and it will definitely get you ready for the summer. For the people trying to look for an older TV show, The Wonder Years, on Hulu, is most certainly dated, but is nevertheless an amazing find. This show is set in the 60s and 70s. It follows a young boy named Kevin and his best friend Paul as they overcome different obstacles together. It is a mature and entertaining show for anyone looking for a feel-good series. Another worthwile show on Netflix is called Chef’s Table, an Emmy-nominated series that follows different chefs throughout the world who are taking new approaches to cooking and displaying food. It features an array of cultures, foods and chefs, all with their own interesting personalities. This show is not your ordinary cooking show and is informative while staying entertaining. Finding time to check out a new show is very exciting, and also a great way to gain a new perspective on TV. Happy Streaming! Graphic by Chris de Santis ’20/Staf
