During the first few years of Grey’s Anatomy, it was tangling with other doctor shows like House and Scrubs. But with 14 seasons, Grey’s Anatomy has staying power that only a few of the best series see. And with an abundance of seasons, binge-watching this feature is no easy task.
- Family Guy

- American Horror Story
From a haunted house to a creepy story about a cult, this anthology horror series from FX is one of the most-watched shows on Netflix.

- House of Cards
Debuting on February 1, 2013, this was the first original show by Netflix. Though the sixth and final season (release date pending) won’t feature the show’s former star, Kevin Spacey, subscribers are anxious to see what Claire (Robin Wright) will have in store for viewers.
