Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls), Mrs. Maisel won basically every award a television show can win for its first season. Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of the titular Mrs. Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), a wisecracking housewife who thinks she has the perfect life until…she doesn’t. One night, our heroine gets drunk and accidentally takes the stage at a comedy club, where she immediately gets discovered. The series is colourful in both the literal and figurative senses, as Mrs. Maisel wears some delightful pink clothes, but she can also tell one hell of a dirty joke. If you and your partner enjoy period pieces like Mad Men, this is your new favourite show. Seasons One and Two are now streaming on Amazon Prime.

The Haunting of Hill House is one of the scariest TV shows you’ll ever see.
