If your watchlist is looking a little stale, or you’re simply in the mood for some new TV recommendations, Reelgood has just come through with the perfect excuse to binge something new. The site’s latest ranking of the top 10 biggest TV shows of the week offers a mix of returning favorites, under-the-radar gems, and even a few curveballs that we didn’t see coming.

The White Lotus is obviously still at the top of the whole thing, on the strength of this week’s devastating finale. Then there’s Prime Video’s The Bondsman, which stars Kevin Bacon and brings some John Wick energy with a paranormal twist, as well as TV shows like Dying for Sex (exactly what it sounds like) and Daredevil: Born Again, which proves that you can’t keep a good vigilante down.

Whether you’re into moody dramas, scandalous true stories, or slick superhero comebacks, this week’s list is absolutely stacked. Some of these titles might not even be on your radar yet, but I suspect they will be soon.
