With new episodes dropping in early 2025, now’s a solid time to dive in, whether you’re catching up or rewatching the best arcs.

Chicago Fire

While police officers, lawyers, and doctors get shows based on their profession, “Chicago Fire” stands out as one of the few shows portraying the lives of firefighters. The series balances intense rescue missions with the personal struggles and friendship of Firehouse 51’s crew. Its depiction of sacrifice really stands out in the procedural drama genre.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Since 2020, “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” has taken reality TV beyond the typical high-end yacht experience, throwing in just the right amount of chaos. The mix of unpredictable crew dynamics and high-maintenance charter guests make it a perfect show for anyone who loves a bit of turbulence with their reality TV.

Love Island: All Stars

“Love Island: All Stars” shakes things up by bringing back familiar faces for another shot at romance—or revenge, depending on who you ask. Set against the scenic backdrop of Franschhoek, South Africa, the season adds a new twist by reigniting old flames and testing unresolved drama.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Season 14 of “The Real Housewives” of Beverly Hills brings the signature drama fans expect, but this time with a few shake-ups. Bozoma Saint John’s arrival injects new energy into the mix, while Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley’s high-profile separations are bound to take center stage, adding even more intrigue to an already eventful season.

Lockerbie: A Search For Truth

Colin Firth brings his A game to “Lockerbie: A Search for Truth” this year as he plays Dr. Jim Swire. The five-episode show delves into the aftermath of the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 tragedy following Dr. Swire’s relentless pursuit of justice for his daughter. Firth delivers an emotional performance while the well-researched story sparks curiosity in everyone’s mind.

Twisted Metal

Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, “Twisted Metal” takes viewers on a journey that mixes action and dark humor in an entertaining series.

The series, an adaptation of the classic PlayStation game of the same name, is engaging and has the right dose of nostalgia.

Teacup

“Teacup” pulls viewers into a chilling battle for survival as neighbors on a remote Georgian farm face an unknown and terrifying threat. Inspired by Robert R. McCammon’s novel “Stinger,” the series features rousing performances by Yvonne Strahovski and Scott Speedman.

Poker Face

Natasha Lyonne is right at home in “Poker Face,” playing Charlie Cale, a drifter with an uncanny ability to detect lies.

Caprica

With a decent cast, dramatic storytelling, and impressive CGI, “Caprica” ventures into the origins of the Cylons, the robots of the fiction franchise. Set decades before “Battlestar Galactica,” it’s centered on the lives of two influential families, the Graystones and the Adamas, as they grapple with the dawn of AI.

Resident Alien

While several “Resident Alien” cast members play their roles well, Alan Tudyk’s performance as an extraterrestrial posing as a small-town doctor stands out. The show promises a blend of sci-fi intrigue, small-town charm, and comedy to make viewers invested. Critics have praised its unusual premise and engaging storytelling, with a rating of 7.8 on IMDb.

Three-Body

The series blends high-stakes scientific dilemmas with social and philosophical questions, keeping viewers engaged beyond just the spectacle.

Yellowstone

Think Kevin Costner, a rich storyline and multifaceted themes. “Yellowstone” tells the story of the Dutton family’s determination to protect their Montana ranch from various adversaries. Costner’s role as a patriarch holds water, while the series keeps viewers hooked with its changing power dynamics. Although season 1 was released in 2018, the last episode of its season finale was released in December 2024.
