If you're looking for a binge that will keep you busy for awhile, try Netflix's 14 seasons of Supernatural. The dark urban fantasy series follows the Winchester brothers as they travel across the country battling both literal demons and the figurative demons of their dysfunctional family.
Like The X-Files, Supernatural is a satisfying mix of both monster-of-the-week episodes and more long-running story arcs which flesh out the world's mythology. That makes it both a great have-on-in-the-background binge show and a series it's easy to become deeply invested in (as evidenced by the wealth of Supernatural fanfiction).
Based on the book series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander is the perfect show for when you need a respite from everyday life.

After the close of World War I, British nurse Claire and her husband Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies) travel to Inverness for a long-delayed honeymoon. While visiting local ruins, Claire suddenly falls back in time to the 18th century, where she's suspected of being a British spy. Thankfully, Highlander Jamie Fraser trusts her intentions, and helps protect her against suspicion.
Cancelled before its time after just two seasons, Galavant is a self-aware musical send-up of fantasy tropes. The plot follows the titular knight Sir Galavant (Joshua Sasse), who is determined to prove his valor by killing evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson) and saving damsel in distress Queen Madalena (Mallory Jansen).
Although Galavant is satirical, its music is sincerely great. Veteran Disney composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, etc.) wrote Galavant's songs, which elevate the show into something truly memorable. The stellar cast also features musical legends such as Weird Al Yankovic.
Fun, funny, and genuinely moving, it's no wonder The Verge recently called Galavant the most-underrated show of the 2010s. Catch the two seasons of this cult series while they're still streaming on Netflix.
