I'm talking all out binging; unkempt clothing and hair, snacks instead of meals, and carrying my laptop from room to room when I can't stand to be planted in front of the living room TV any longer. I am dedicated to the cause; and what better time of year to do so than the fall? Chilly, rainy days. Cosying up with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Enjoying all of the fall television premieres from the comfort of your couch.
Since I first put this list in the notes app on my iPhone last month, I've probably watched three or four more shows worthy of an all-out binge; but I've decided to save those gems for a list of their own.
So here it goes, here are seven binge-worthy shows that you can find on Netflix Canada or CraveTV this fall.
The Handmaid's Tale
With season two just having wrapped, now is your chance to catch up on the absolute insanity that is The Handmaid's Tale. This show will have you raging, crying, and rooting for some seriously oppressed characters.
Warning: this show contains triggers and is not for the faint of heart.
If you can stomach it, it is well worth the watch. I suggested that two of my friends watch this show, and I can confirm that they both binge-watched it in a matter of days.
The Handmaid's Tale is based on a book by the same name, written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The series features a dystopian future following a Second American Civil War wherein a totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called "Handmaids," into child-bearing servitude.

The Handmaid's Tale can be found in full on CraveTV - if you're not familiar with Crave, you should become acquainted here. You can try CraveTV for one month free, giving you plenty of time to binge-watch the shows in this list. If you have Telus Optik, it is likely you are already subscribed - check your On Demand or Optik App!
PS. I am not sponsored by CraveTV, but I'm going to ship them hard in this blog post so be ready.

Gilmore Girls
This series is much more light-hearted than the previous suggestion. Gilmore Girls is an autumn CLASSIC. I re-binge-watch Gilmore Girls every fall; there's just something about this show that encapsulates the spirit of the season. You'll be wishing you were sitting at Luke's Diner drinking a hot cup of coffee, or strolling through Stars Hollow decked out in fall-themed decor while the town is covered in falling orange and yellow leaves.
Gilmore Girls is about a single mother (Lorelai Gilmore) and her daughter (Rory Gilmore), who live in Stars Hollow, a small town filled with colourful characters. It's quick and witty, relatable, and endearing all at once.

You can find the entire series on Netflix (regardless of this, I still can't let go of my box-set DVD's).
Bonus: Follow-up your seven season binge with the four-part Netflix special featuring each of the seasons. If you've never seen the show, you'll never have to go through the agony of the (nearly) ten-year-wait for this revival that the rest of us had to endure.
This Is Us
TEARS. So many tears. Every episode of this beautiful show will have you bawling your eyes out and telling the people in your life just how much you love them. The geniuses behind This Is Us know how to hit a girl right in the feels.
This Is Us series follows the lives of three siblings and their parents. It takes place in the present and at various times in the past, using flashbacks. The third season is due to premiere on September 25; so once you're finished your two season binge you can head straight into what is sure to be another emotional rollercoaster of a third season. For some reason there is only one season on Netflix Canada right now, crossing all of my fingers that the second one arrives soon.
WAKE UP NETFLIX, WE NEED YOU.

The Mindy Project
The Mindy Project is funny, and often relatable. This show makes a great pick-me-up when you've finished watching something heavy, or if you just can't bring yourself to watch something dark or emotional.
The series follows obstetrician/gynaecologist Mindy Lahiri as she tries to balance her personal and professional life, surrounded by quirky co-workers in a small medical practice in New York City.
The series has concluded, so when you're done - you're done.

All six seasons can be found on Netflix Canada.
Shameless (US)
This show is for all you 18+/mature audiences out there. Shameless is funny, dramatic, and at times sobering (heh heh, word choice).
The series follows an alcoholic father, Frank Gallagher, and his six children; who strive to take care of each other and create better lives despite Frank's poor influence. You can find seasons one through seven on Netflix, and season eight can be found on Telus Optik.

The ninth season just premiered on September 9th, and new episodes can also be found on Telus Optik.
Game of Thrones
If you haven't watched Game of Thrones yet, now is your chance. Game of Thrones is on CraveTV and if you weren't already convinced that CraveTV is worth it - you should be now. The first couple of episodes may seem slow, but things pick-up swiftly and before you know it you'll be hooked.
Game of Thrones features...well...a lot of characters. So many, you'll probably forget their names at some points. In the words of IMDB, " It's the depiction of two powerful families - kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and honest men - playing a deadly game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, and to sit atop the Iron Throne."
There is a reason this is one of the most viewed television series - so if by some chance you haven't seen it yet, do it. If you've already watched it, maybe give it another watch before the final season premieres in 2019 - there are so many subtle details you may pick-up on by rewatching it again. Plus, you'll probably start to remember some of those dang characters.

Stranger Things
Stranger Things is fall vibes, if there ever was a show for fall vibes. Not only will this series get you into the spirit of Halloween, but you'll probably walk away with some relevant and on-point Halloween costume ideas.
Set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the 1980s, the first season focuses on the investigation into the disappearance of a young boy amid supernatural events occurring around the town; including the appearance of a girl with psychokinetic abilities who helps the missing boy's friends in their own search.
If you haven't watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, you're Netflixing wrong. Stranger Things isn't due back for a while, so if you've already seen it - maybe you want to go buy yourself a box of Eggos and re-binge-watch it.
