1. Suits (2011–2019)
TV-14 | 44 min | Comedy, Drama
On the run from a drug deal gone bad, brilliant college dropout Mike Ross finds himself working with Harvey Specter, one of New York City's best lawyers.
Stars: Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty
Votes: 479,631
Currently watching, and honestly one of the best shows in history. Harvey Specter is my hero. I want to be a lawyer, and for those who like law, or just sassyness, watch this, you won't be disappointed, because every episode is SO WORTH IT
2. The Originals (2013–2018)
TV-14 | 45 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
A family of power-hungry thousand-year-old vampires look to take back the city that they built and dominate all those who have done them wrong.
Stars: Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Claire Holt, Phoebe Tonkin
Votes: 147,984
Currently watching, and quite frankly much better than The Vampire Diaries. I really like TVD, but I really look forward to The Originals because there is less love and more action, and quite frankly, TVD is the same story all the time, Elena chooses between Stefan and Damon, etc etc, when in The Originals, we watch our favorite vampire family being a badass. For those who never watched this before, nor TVD : you won't really understand a lot of things if you haven't watched TVD before, but the shows aren't interconnected at 100 % (at least from TO's side). I don't think you'll be disappointed, because every episode is quite a shocker and there are cute ships but they're not the main deal of the story, because if you do want vampire love, you should watch TVD For those who watched TVD but didn't start TO : PLEASE DO SO ! Klaus is a badass as usual, although his dark side is much more present in here. Elijah's character is VERY DEVELOPED and it's for the better because he is a fan favorite. Hayley is brought back and Rebekah is doing absolutely great in this show, and her character isn't left in the shadow as in TVD as well. As for Marcel, the new character, he's very charismatic and very bad ass, so you'll like it :D
3. The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017)
TV-14 | 43 min | Drama, Fantasy, Horror
The lives, loves, dangers and disasters in the town, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Creatures of unspeakable horror lurk beneath this town as a teenage girl is suddenly torn between two vampire brothers.
Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Kat Graham
Votes: 350,131
Currently watching. The Vampire Diaries is an amazing show, that frustrates a lot of fans because either way you're a Stelena fan or a Delena fan. Both sides are very contradictory so it's quite impossible for the show to please both. That's why it's a never ending love triangle. Anyways, this show is about vampires, but it's not as Twilight. This show is absolutely awesome and I've been watching since the very beginning. I love this show because it's really emotional. It's really well done, even though a lot of people die in a season, because we get to see them occasionally, or they get brought back to life for some of them. This show has got a lot of loopholes but I can guarantee you'll cry at the last 5 to 3 episodes of each season. It's complicated, it's a lot of action, especially when The Originals family was brought to the story. But I have to admit season 1 is awful. The rest is amazing though, you never know what to expect. For those who never watched before : this show is female oriented even though I know some guys who watch it. You should definetely watch it, but catch up quickly because the fanbase is really awesome and you get to see cool stuff like fan confessions on tumblr and stuff... Personally I'm a Delena fan and I think their scenes are more entertaining and stuff but yeah :D
4. Hart of Dixie (2011–2015)
TV-14 | 60 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance
New Yorker and new doctor Zoe Hart accepts an offer from a stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, to work in his medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama. She arrives to find that he has died and left half the practice to her in his will.
Stars: Rachel Bilson, Jaime King, Cress Williams, Wilson Bethel
Votes: 56,768
Currently watching, and I love it. There's no other show like this on television, making you WANT TO live in a village, a small community, in Alabama, making you like small towns, the country life, and stuff like that. This is my feel good drama, and even though I wasn't sure about it on season 1, I absolutely loved it in season 2, and now in season 3 too :p We majorly ship Wade and Zoe and you'll find cute youtube videos on them that are so cute you'll die, but really, this show is everything. You feel really good when you're done with an episode because it's almost like you feel like you live in Bluebell, Alabama, which is a fictional town btw. For those who never watched before : Just so you guys know this show is a Josh Schwartz show, and it's quite different from Gossip Girl or the O.C. It's more relax than the others, and I recommend it to you guys if you ever dreamt of living in a small town. I think that it's gonna be cancelled for the forth or fifth season because it doesn't have a big fan base, to be completely honest. I know the plot isn't appealing, I was very doubftul at first, but it's the feeling of the show that the fans love. Plus, it's in Alabama, and women are dressed in a very vintage way, that is adorable, everybody knows each other, it's just perfect. You'll get attached to the characters really fast. So give it a try maybe ?
5. How I Met Your Mother (2005–2014)
TV-14 | 4,576 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance
A father recounts to his children - through a series of flashbacks - the journey he and his four best friends took leading up to him meeting their mother.
Stars: Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris
Votes: 729,011
Currently watching. Okay so I have four 20 minutes tv shows that I'm currently watching (HIMYM, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls and FRIENDS) (and nope, I don't watch The Big Bang Theory because I hated it). So this show is absolutely great. I started watching it two years ago and got through the whole 8 seasons, now I'm watching when it airs. I love this show, really, because every character is so different. Quite frankly, neither of them is the same, and their stories are really entertaining, and quite funny. I absolutely love Barney and Robin, and I'm really glad now in season 9 that Ted has found the one because he deserves it so much. For those who never watched it : You should, really, if you need a 20 minutes comedy that will entertain you ! It's a story about great friendship and you'll like it. But to be honest, if you should really watch only one 20 minutes tv show in your life, it's New Girl.
6. New Girl (2011–2018)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy, Romance
After a bad break-up, Jess, an offbeat young woman, moves into an apartment loft with three single men. Although they find her behavior very unusual, the men support her - most of the time.
Stars: Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Hannah Simone
Votes: 245,717
Currently watching, and I *beep* LOVE THIS SHOW ! Like, seriously, this show is the funniest on television. Really, I just can't even start to describe how amazing in it. I think this show's success is mostly because the characters are different types of characters coexisting, and this is much more obvious than in HIMYM. It's about roommates, really, and it is SO FUNNY. I've started this two years ago, and I've rewatched season 1 when it ended because it's amazing. This is the perfect show everyone should watch because it's so entertaining, questions life, love and friendship, and is just PERFECTION. Zooey Deschanel is way too adorable, I love Max Greenfield who plays Schmidt, his character is my favorite, and what do I even say about Nick's, Winston's and Cece's. You will LOVE THIS SHOW. For those who never watched it : DO IT ! You won't regret it, seriously, perfection right here :D
7. 2 Broke Girls (2011–2017)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy

Stars: Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs, Garrett Morris, Jonathan Kite
Votes: 104,958
Currently watching, and 2 Broke Girls is actually a great show. It's not as good as New Girl, but it's funny, and it reminds me of my best friend, because Max and Caroline are kinda like us, personnality wise. If youre not watching and wondering if you should : this show is full of sex jokes, so be prepared. You'll like it if you're dirty minded though :p This show is actually practically all based on sex jokes :p so if you don't like that type of humour, don't even watch this :p but if you do you'll laugh :D
8. The Carrie Diaries (2013–2014)
TV-14 | 42 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

Votes: 28,971
Currently watching, and I love it because it's the only show I'm watching that is set in the 80's AND THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD ! For those who never watched before : So just so you know, I personally never watched Sex And The City, and I still watched The Carrie Diaries, and loved it. The music, Annasophia Robb, Austin Butler, they're just perfect. It's different and I like it !
9. Heirs (2013)
55 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

Stars: Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, Kim Woo-bin, Choi Jin-hyuk
Votes: 13,452
Currently watching. Okay so The Heirs, is the first Korean Drama I ever watched and I love it. With my good friend who is Korean, we watch this show religiously because Kim Woo Bin is so hot ! (he's like the sexiest asian guy ever), so yeah, it's entertaining ! For those who never watched : yeah, watch it with friends because sometimes the characters do really weird and funny stuff and youre like WTF, BUT it's still funny :D
10. The X Factor (2011–2013)
TV-PG | Game-Show, Music, Reality-TV
In this American version of the hit UK show, Simon Cowell and his fellow judges search for a singer who has the "X factor".
Stars: Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid, Mario Lopez
Votes: 6,042
Currently watching. Yeah this one is much better than the UK version because there's Simon. Quite frankly this year there are Restless Road and Jeff Gutt, and there was Al Calderon, and they're pretty good ! I like this show
11. Friends (1994–2004)
TV-14 | 22 min | Comedy, Romance

Votes: 1,089,209
Currently watching. Yes, I still didn't finish FRIENDS. I started this summer, now I'm into season 4. I just love to sit down and watch this while drinking tea or coffee. This show is like one of the best ever.
12. Homeland (2011–2020)

13. Castle (2009–2016)
TV-14 | 43 min | Comedy, Crime, Drama
When a psychopath commits murders based on novelist Castle's books, Detective Beckett seeks his help to solve the case. He decides to work with her and uses his experiences as research for his novels.
Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Jon Huertas
Votes: 174,490
Currently watching. I love this show, but not anymore, because the essence of it was the love/hate relationship between Castle and Beckett. Now that they're together I don't feel like watching it anymore. But the investigations are awesome to be honest so if you're looking for a love/police tv show to watch, this is it ! It's like an ameliored version of Bones. And Esposito is the best ever !
14. Nikita (2010–2013)
TV-14 | 60 min | Action, Crime, Drama
A rogue assassin returns to take down the secret organization that trained her.
Stars: Maggie Q, Shane West, Lyndsy Fonseca, Aaron Stanford
Votes: 53,921
Currently watching. I LOVE THIS SHOW !!!! Action and love at the same time, I just love the actors so much ! This show is getting cancelled but the love story is quite impressive. They're here for each other all the time and it's thrilling. I strongly recommend it :D
15. Gossip Girl (2007–2012)

Stars: Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick
Votes: 193,584
I've watched all of it and I can resume this in one word : CHAIR. Chuck and Blair are everything, their love story is so epic, so intense, it's *beep* crazy. I just love these two. A part of that, it's quite good from season 1 to 4/5 but after, it's getting a bit boring. Watch a fan video with Blair and Chuck on youtube and you'll see what I'm talking about.
16. One Tree Hill (2003–2012)

BEST SHOW EVER. I love this show, I grew up with this show, this is just the best show in history, I cried so much and laughed so much because of and thanks to it. 9 seasons, an amazing fanbase, a strong cast and just adorable moments and *beep* cute ships. If you didn't watch it, you just didn't do *beep* of your life ! Seriously, this tv show is the best ever.
17. The O.C. (2003–2007)

Votes: 595,817
I have watched the 2 first seasons and stopped because the plot was really complicated but it's actually pretty good. I didn't like the characters, a part from Boone Carlyle and Sawyer Ford. If you never watched it : You should, it's massive, one of the greatest shows in history.
19. Survivor (2000– )
TV-PG | 60 min | Adventure, Game-Show, Reality-TV

Stars: Jeff Probst, Lillian Morris, Jon Dalton, Rob Mariano
Votes: 27,451
Currently watching. The only reality show worth watching. Survivor is all about strategy, allies, enemies, it's kind of a real life version of LOST but without the supernatural elements. So yeah guys, watch at least one season in your life you'll see why this show has so much fans AND WHY IT HAS OVER 25 SEASONS AND WHY IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS !
20. Glee (2009–2015)

Stars: Chris Harrison, Brad Womack, Jesse Palmer, Sean Lowe
Votes: 7,588
The Bachelor is a fun show to watch but I prefer the Bachelorette because the drama with the girls is too overrated. And seeing 25 women fighting for a guy is not so cute as the inverse situation :p
