There are dragons, drama, deaths and so much more. If watching powerful women run the game is your thing, then this one’s for you!

In case you want to laugh all your worries out, you’ve hit the jackpot with Panchayat season 2. With the perfect mix of people who are Banrakas (watch the series to know what that means) and kind, this small town and its characters will steal your heart. With a power-packed cast that includes Neena Gupta, Jitendra Kumar, and many more, this will keep you glued to your seats and how!

3. Jamtara Season 2
Season 1 of this show swept people off their feet, therefore Season 2 had some big shoes to fill. And oh how it did, with some crisp writing and great performance put on by the great cast, this show surely packed a punch this year. Not only did it show people getting scammed, but also how people have become tech-savvy and alert about such scammers, which sure was a refreshing take.
Where To Watch: Netflix
4. Criminal Justice Season 3
This nail-biting show, with Pankaj Tripathi as the lead should be on everyone’s watchlist. Why you ask? Because it has Pankaj Tripathi, that should be a reason enough. What also sets this gritting series apart, is the impactful writing that gets the viewers invested pretty much from the start with Pankaj adding just the right amount of humor to it.

5. Tripling Season 3
This show has always been the one to address topics, in a very twisted but fun manner. This season is no different as it deals with the parents announcing their divorce, but still managing a cordial relationship with each other. A topic like this may be very alien in the Indian scenario where marriage is a bond made in heaven for janam janmantars, but it has a new take this season. We also see Chitwan taking on a whole new journey this season. Looking for some light-hearted drama? Then this one’s surely for you.

6. Wednesday
This Netflix show took the internet by storm and how! It broke a lot of viewership numbers and Jenna Ortega sure did a number on these viewers. The acting, drama, romance, and twists are what truly made the show a hit among young viewers. Let’s not forget Wednesday’s iconic dance which had even Lady Gaga grooving to it.

7. Tanaav
This action thriller set in Kashmir will take you on a roller coaster of emotions but also fear. The fear of what happens next? To the people and their families, it is sure to keep you glued to your seat throughout the show. You really feel the Taanav as the show progresses, but it also gets you emotionally attached to these characters. Looking for a late-night nail-biting watch to blow off your sleep? Then watch this.
Where To Watch: SonyLiv
8. Stranger Things 4
Eleven combating the evils from the upside down has been sending legit chills down my spine for years now. But in season 4, she surely hit that ball off the park, even though a lot of friendships and relationships were put to test, it was the perfect closure we all Stranger Things fans needed. You won’t blink for a second watching this one, as Vecna which takes over the town and plays with people’s minds. This season does dabble with horror as a genre while cementing the relationships between characters who are a delight to watch. This ought to be on your watch list!

9. Lord of the Rings – Rings of Power
Amongst everything that this show had to offer, from great writing to cinematic experience, it was the cast that took the cake. The show made me never want to snap out of Middle Earth, and I even found myself rooting for the anti-hero at times. That is how well the actors have carried their roles through the show. With a new season on the cards and the addition of 7 new members to it, I cannot wait to be blown away. But before that join the LOR fanclub and finish season one.
Where To Watch: Amazon Prime Video
10. Moon Knight
If you asked me to list down 3 reasons to watch this show, I would name the three characters of Oscar Isaac. He truly is the star of the show in every sense. It makes you question whether he is the hero, villain, or vigilante. It also very well brings in the Egyptian Mythology premise, while also shining a light on mental health. And a mix of those things is what makes this show, a must-watch this year.
Where To Watch: Disney+ Hotstar
With the festive season coming up, it is time to snuggle up in bed and binge-watch these top-notch OTT shows. Making it through shouldn’t be much of a task because of how gripping all of these are!
