20 Best TV Shows Of All Time That You Should Definitely Watch

We love binge-watching TV shows on weekends or even after we are done with the day’s work and have nothing urgent to do. They also prove to be our savior at times such as when we are sick or are left alone in the house. At the same time, it is also a lot of fun to watch them with our bunch of friends or family. A big bowl of popcorn and some TV drama (or a thriller, whichever genre is your favorite) is all it takes to lighten our mood. They are even helpful in dealing with heartbreaks. Such is the role of TV shows in our lives.
