All The Shows You Need To Be Watching In 2023
We’re now a month into 2023, and there are already so many great new shows on television! We’ve seen lots of great new seasons of beloved shows, and there are lots of things to catch up on from the end of 2022 if you haven’t gotten to them yet. Here are all of the best, current television shows you can go watch right now!
The White Lotus (Season 2)
The first season of The White Lotus was a huge hit, and season two was perhaps even more so. With the recent release of the incredible “sequel” season, the show has seen a huge increase in viewership and has won multiple awards. This anthology series follows several guests of the White Lotus hotel, and the second season is set in Sicily, Italy.
You don’t need to watch the first season to understand what’s going on, but if you haven’t seen any of it yet, every single episode of this show is filled with intrigue, drama, humor, and mystery. Plus, it features an extremely talented, star-studded cast! This is one you need to catch up on ASAP.
The Last Of Us
Based on the popular video game, The Last Of Us follows two survivors as they must navigate a post-apocalyptic, zombie-ridden world. This definitely isn’t your typical zombie apocalypse story; this show is truly so unique, and the background of the story is extremely fascinating. It’s also one of Pedro Pascal’s most incredible roles yet.
With new episodes every Sunday, you can catch The Last Of Us on HBO Max and follow along with this thrilling and intense story right now! This is sure to be one of the most popular shows of 2023, and they’ve already been renewed for a second season after only a couple of episodes!
Abbott Elementary
This fun, fresh comedy series has been winning awards left and right, and for good reason. Every episode has some of the most hilarious moments on TV while also managing to bring some heart to the screen at the same time.
Abbott Elementary is filmed as a mockumentary style comedy—similar to The Office and Modern Family—and follows the teachers at an elementary school in Philadelphia. New episodes drop weekly, and the show is currently in its third season. It’s one of the biggest shows on television right now, so go catch up!
That ‘90s Show
Anyone who grew up in the ‘90s or enjoyed the iconic That ‘70s Show will love this fun reboot. It focuses on the next generation of the characters from That ‘70s Show, and even has a lot of same characters, as well!
Nostalgic, funny, and sweet, this is one of the biggest new shows of 2023 so far, and it’s available on Netflix right now!
The Sex Lives Of College Girls
The first season of this HBO Max show premiered last fall, and the second just dropped a couple of months ago! Chronicling the lives of four college roommates and their escapades in friendships, school, and—of course—sex, The Sex Lives Of College Girls is aptly named.
This show absolutely chock-full of fresh humor, with plenty of drama and romance mixed in. Go catch up on season two or, if you haven’t watched the first season yet, start from the beginning!
Wednesday
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple months, Wednesday has broken Netflix records and taken the world by storm. It follows the iconic character of Wednesday Addams in a reimagined and reinspired world where she attends a boarding school for out of the ordinary children. This show is a big mystery, and it has plenty of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s a bonus that it’s also funny as hell!
If you haven’t watched Wednesday yet, you need to go catch up and get ready for season two!
How I Met Your Father
For fans of the legendary sitcom How I Met Your Mother, this is a must-watch. It’s one of those shows that combines a healthy amount of nostalgia with enough fresh twists to keep things interesting for both new fans and old fans. And it stars the incredible Hilary Duff!
Much like its inspiration, How I Met Your Father is a show that’s full of humor, friendship, and love; whether you loved the original or have never seen an episode of it, this is an amazing show that just started its second season. So, you can go watch season one, and then keep up weekly from there!
Poker Face
This brand-new mystery series has already been getting great reviews! It’s a mystery-of-the-week show that follows a woman who has the incredible ability to always tell when someone is lying, and each episode holds a new mystery for her to solve.
If you’re a fan of crime shows with a sprinkle of both thrill and humor, you should definitely check out Poker Face. It premiered on Peacock very recently, and you can keep up with it weekly.
Shrinking
This is one of the latest shows from Apple TV—the creators of some of television’s best shows, like Ted Lasso—and it stars Jason Segel as a therapist who decided to throw his ethics aside for the sake of honesty. My guess is that this show will be winning some major awards in 2023, even though there are only a few episodes out so far.
Harrison Ford is the other star of this show, and the dynamic between him and Segel is so fun to watch on screen. If you’re looking for a heartfelt show to invest in with truly beautiful and complex characters, Shrinking should be on your watch list.
Kaleidoscope
This Netflix original came out on the very first day of the new year, and it’s already boggling minds. This unique show can be watched in any order; each episode is given the name of a color rather than a number, and Netflix gives you a randomized order in which to watch the whole show.
Kaleidoscope is based (loosely) on a true story of the one the biggest heists in U.S. history. Each episode reveals something new about the heist and the mystery, so keep your eyes out for anything that might give you more information! If you like to be challenged, go give Kaleidoscope a try.
