Over five seasons, Carmy and co have transformed The Original Beef of Chicagoland into an acclaimed fine dining restaurant worthy of a Michelin star. Or is it? That’s what we’re set to find out in the fifth and final season of the most intense culinary dramedy ever created.

Hollywood heavyweights Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg team up to executive produce the newest retelling of a story well-told. First a novel in 1957, Cape Fear was then adapted for the screen in 1962 before being remade again in 1991 starring Robert De Niro and directed by Martin Scorsese himself.

8. Not Suitable for Work
Where Can I Watch it? On Disney+
Mindy Kaling is back with a NSFW comedy series that follows a group of five career-obsessed friends trying to make it through their 20s in Manhattan’s glamour capital, Murray Hill.

10. The Witness
Where Can I Watch it? On Netflix
A must-watch for true crime fans, The Witness recounts a crime that shocked England and left the world reeling. In 1992, 23-year-old mother Rachel Nickell was brutally stabbed to death on Wimbledon Common in London. The only witness to the crime was her two-year-old son, Alex, who was by her side as they took a daytime walk. The case drew outrage in the media, as did the miscarriage of justice that subsequently took place. A captivating 3-part drama that will stay with you long after the final episode plays.
