Erin Konrad’s love for everything entertainment dates back to elementary school when she became obsessed with classic Hollywood musicals. When she’s not catching up on all her favorite television shows, she’s advising her friends and family on what they should binge watch next.

She has her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. Creating content for Collider gives her the opportunity to combine her writing skills with her passion for television and movies. She spends her free time trying to beat her personal record of reading 137 books in a year and cuddling with her dog, Gracie.

The last season of HBO’s ***Big Little Lies ***might have aired all the way back in 2019, but that doesn’t mean we’re not still thinking about that fantastic show. With an impressive cast and captivating storytelling, it’s no surprise that viewers have been anxiously awaiting a much-anticipated third season. The dark and twisty narratives of that show are echoed in the incredible HBO limited series, Sharp Objects, which aired in 2018. If you’re looking for something in a similar vein to binge, an underrated Apple TV series released two years ago actually combines the best aspects of both dramas.

You might have missed Disclaimer when it first aired in 2024, but that doesn’t mean you can’t binge-watch it now. This seven-episode limited series follows several different characters, creating multiple perspectives that twist the story even further. We first meet Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), a successful journalist who seems to have a perfect life. She has a flourishing career, a doting husband, Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen), and a soft-spoken son, Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee), but on closer inspection, Catherine’s life holds a great deal of secrets and dysfunction.

When she receives a book on her doorstep that seemingly details the events of a past affair she had with a much younger man named Jonathan Brigstocke (Louis Partridge), Catherine’s secrets are at risk of being exposed. The book has been written by Jonathan’s father, Stephen (Kevin Kline), who has a serious bone to pick with Catherine, whom he blames for the unraveling of his family. What unfolds is a tumultuous, perilous journey as viewers gain more understanding of the events that transpired in these characters’ lives.
