Instead of flicking on to the usual TV shows, we suggest adding these thrilling and comedy-filled episodes to your schedule as well!

1/5
UnREAL
Ever wondered how exactly are reality TV shows crafted - essentially how real is real? Well, then UnREAL should do just the trick in feeding your curiousity. Centered around Rachel Goldberg, the show sees her having to put her integrity on the side and deliver the utmost scandalous and salacious content that'll make for good reality TV. In the show you'll see how contestants on the show, Everlasting are manipulated to act or behave in a certain way in order to drum up drama and improve ratings for the show.
2/5
The Whispers
Imagine an unknown and invisible force - that could potentially be otherworldly - reaching out and speaking to your kids only. Frightening isn't it? And that's exactly the storyline for The Whispers. The plot revolves around Captain Sean Bennigan and his mysterious ability to communicate with the force and follows FBI child specialist Claire Bennigan and Defense Department operative, Wes Lawrence in understanding what Earth is potentially dealing with.
3/5
Devious Maids
Laden with mystery, drama, sass and a whole lot of Beverly Hills pride, Devious Maids centers around 4 Latina maids working in the homes of some of the richest and more powerful families in the area. From murders to missing people and secret flings, it comes as no surprise that the drama-comedy is heavily influenced by producer, Marc Cherry's previous hit series, Desperate Housewives. With the cleverly placed cliffhangers in each episode, trust us when we say one episode is enough to get you hoooked.
4/5
The Astronaut Wives Club
Behind every man is a strong woman and that's the same for the leading male astronauts in America's past who were part of the race to the moon. The Astronaut Wives Club follows the tale of the women who stood by these very men. Based on Lily Koppel's book The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story, watch how these ladies become each other's pillar of strength as the men head on death-defying missions.
5/5
Wayward Pines
Heading to the rural town of Wayward Pines, Secret Service agent Ethan Burke was tasked to locate two missing federal agents. However the mission is hardly as straightforward as expected. Every turn, every inch closer to the truth only takes him further away and soon enough he realises that getting out the town may just not be a reality after all. Filled with a slew of bizarre twists and mystery, the show is undoubtedly one of the more thrilling ones yet.

With so many television shows springing up ever so often on various networks, it can be hard to keep up with them all. Overwhelming to say the least. However, other than those that have been heralded as must sees over and over again, some remaining gems may unfortunately get lost in the web.

So if you find yourself with time after you're done catching up on Suits, Hannibal and True Detective, we have rounded up 5 other series that you should definitely be watching this season. From a drama that goes behind the scenes of reality TV shows - particularly The Bachelor - to a semi sci-fi and thriller series on an unknown entity speaking only to children, trust us when we say these reels will definitely get you hooked.

Time to get your popcorn and binge watch the weekend away!
