Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This one is worthy of many, MANY Binge watches because honestly Buffy is amazing. Sure season 1 & 2 haven't aged too well but they're still worthy of being watched over and over. Buffy has a total of 7 seasons and 144 episodes with each episode being around 44 minutes each... thats a lot of binge watching to be had.
Plus if you come to the end of all seven seasons and need more of the Buffyverse in your life then also check out the spin off show Angel. Angel has five seasons and 111 episodes in total so you're pretty much all set.

Six Feet Under
I miss Six Feet Under. I MISS IT! Six Feet Under follows the Fisher family who run a funeral home in Los Angeles and it's all about the ups and downs of family life and everything in between. It's such a brilliant show and so well written that if you have never seen it before it's pretty much guaranteed to become one of your favourites. It also has one of the best TV show endings I have ever seen.
Six Feet Under has a total of five seasons and 63 episodes all running around 55 minutes each.

The Haunting of Hill House
Hill House was huge when it was first released on Netflix and if you've never seen it, where have you been hiding? If like the many hidden ghosts in each episode you've missed it then now is the time to check this show out. You could easily binge all of this in one day (if you start fairly early that is) so it's not a huge time killer but you'll easily pass the day away. Season One clocks in at a total of 10 episodes all around 50 minutes each.
What's more is that it's already been given a season 2 and just like the next show on the list will be a new anthology show. The Haunting of Bly Manor is the official title for season 2 and will be available 2020.

American Horror Story
American Horror Story is an anthology show so you don't necessarily need to watch each season in order or even all seasons to get into it. I actually started watching AHS from season 3 and then worked my way backwards.
Each season has a new theme and the same cast but as different characters (with changes here and there) and with nine seasons and 103 episodes this is one show you can binge for sure.
So whether you're interested in ghosts, witches, serial killers, aliens, a travelling freak show, the apocalypse and more, this show has something for everyone!
It's also already been renewed right up to season 13!

Scream the TV Series
If you're a fan of the Scream films (raises hand enthusiastically) then you'll enjoy Scream the TV Series. It doesn't have the same amount of suspense as the original films but it's worthy of a watch.
Scream has a total of 3 seasons with 30 episodes, the final episode of Season 2 being a two-part Halloween special. Series 1 and 2 follow Emma Duval who is being stalked by a killer who is slowly killing people she knows one by one. Season 3 changes characters and location entirely and you're treated to a brand new story to sink your knives into.

Ash vs Evil Dead
Ash vs Evil Dead is brilliant! If you're a fan of the original films then you will love this. It follows Ash (Played by Bruce Campbell) who has to fight the Evil Dead once again and save mankind. He has help though with his partners in crime Pablo and Kelly. The show has a total of three seasons and 30 episodes all timing in at around 30 minutes each.
What's makes this show great isn't just the return of Bruce Campbell but it also has other returning characters from the films as well as being created by Sam Raimi who created the original trilogy.

Goosebumps
As a kid I remember going into WH Smiths with my parents and looking at all of the Goosebumps books, wanting every single one of them. Especially the choose your own adventure books. At the time the TV show was also on TV and although it's no longer running it is still worthy of a watch.
I recently watched episodes of the original show and it's a little cheesy in parts but so much fun. It ran for a total of 4 seasons and and has 74 episodes. When you're done you'll also have the 235 books to read and also the two movies that were released in 2015 and 2018.
