I watch TV for a living. These are the best shows I’d recommend from Disney+

What I’m hooked on right now.

Whether you’re in the mood for a Marvel marathon, a trip to the Star Wars universe, or a nostalgic throwback, Disney+ is the place to look.

Along with all the Disney classics, the streamer is in the habit of releasing new hits that will have you hooked from the very first episode.

And I get it, with so much on offer, choosing what to watch next can feel like scrolling limbo.

That’s where I come in with the best recommendations so you can spend less time browsing and more time watching.

Tell Me Lies

Seasons: 2
Starring:
 Grace Van Patten, Jackson White, Sonia Mena, Catherine Missal, Spencer House, Branden Cook

It’s sexy, it’s suspicious, and it’s seriously addictive – Tell Me Lies is this generation’s Pretty Little Liars, but with more drama than you can handle.

The Bear

Seasons: 3
Starring:
 Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Edwin Lee Gibson, Matty Matheson

There are no filters in The Bear. What you see is what you get, and what you get is pure, unfiltered chaos, driven by dysfunctional relationships and even more dysfunctional people. Yet somehow, you can’t help but root for them.

The Kardashians

Seasons: 6
Starring:
 Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner

Reality TV is the ultimate junk food for your brain, and The Kardashians dishes it out in spades.

The Artful Dodger 

Seasons: 1

 Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis, Maia Mitchell, Tim Minchin, Miranda Tapsell, Damon Herriman, Jessica De Gouw
