3. Breaking Bad
Genre: Crime, Drama
Okay, this one isn’t new, but if you haven’t binged it yet, consider this your official wake-up call. Walter White’s transformation from a mild-mannered chemistry teacher to a feared drug kingpin is the stuff of television legend. It’s intense, it’s gripping, and it’s absolutely binge-worthy.

Remember the games that made Squid Game a global sensation? Season 2 promises even more nerve-wracking challenges, betrayals, and moral dilemmas. The stakes are higher, the games are deadlier, and the prize? Still not worth it.
