5 Best Mini-Series: While there are tons of great TV shows for four, five, six, or more seasons, we do not always want to invest in a new program with hundreds of episodes to go through. Getting a new show that is already finished and seasoned on a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu is amazing, but starting a long show is a huge investment, and even if you bite off episode after episode it takes a while to get past them.
5 Best Mini-series To Binge In A Weekend
However, that is not the case with miniseries. These shows are usually one season or a few shorter seasons, and the whole story is tied and ends after those few episodes. Though we may not be left wanting more, and we end up feeling completely satisfied and like we have seen and dealt with the whole story. Also, they can be viewed in just one day, or over the weekend while we wait for a new episode of our favorite now.
1. You
You is a dramatic series that originally aired on Lifetime before being picked up by Netflix, where it became even more popular. This dramatic series is technically not a miniseries, as there’s a second season coming out soon that continues the story, but the way the first season ends definitely wraps up this part of the story and the viewer could easily watch it without having to keep watching – unless you want to. It’s Season 3 will be released very soon.
2. Unbelievable
Unbelievable is a Netflix original miniseries that has 8 episodes and landed on the streaming service in 2019. The series stars Toni Collette, Kaitlyn Dever, and Merritt Weaver and is a dark crime drama.
3. Sharp Objects
Sharp Objects is an HBO miniseries based on the Gillian Flynn novel by the same name. If the suspense and plot twists of Flynn’s Gone Girl had you hooked, you’ve got to check out this 8 episode miniseries.
4. The Keepers
This series follows the disappearance and then alleged murder of Cathy Cesnik, a nun and Catholic school teacher who disappeared in the late 1960s. This series is more than just an unsolved murder case, though. The details of what went on in the school in relation to Cesnik’s disappearance and the circumstances of her killer going undiscovered are enough to chill you to the bone in only 7 episodes.
5. It
Even though the 2017 movie adaptation of this Stephen King novel has had people talking recently, we definitely couldn’t help but include the 1990 miniseries by the same name on this list. It is a miniseries that has two episodes and is around 3 hours long, meaning it’s perfect for a weekend or even just a single night.
