10 Awesome TV Shows You Could Be Binging On Right Now

9. The League

The League follows a group of men who have been friends since high school. Every year, they play in a fantasy football league together (along with Kevin's wife, Jenny), and each season chronicles a year in the life of the league. It sounds like something that should be on ESPN, but it's not. It's actually a hilariously raunchy sit-com type show that just centers around this group's choice activity: fantasy football. But don't worry-you don't have to be a man or football fan to enjoy this show. You do, however, need to be a fan of phallic jokes, self-gratification and general debauchery. The League has all of those in spades, plus witty writing and hilarious situations. It also boasts a lot of enjoyable guest appearances by famous faces in the world of American football-if you're into that sort of thing. The camraderie (and awful behavior) within this group of friends is contagious. Binging on The League might actually make you want to join a fantasy football league, even if you know nothing about the sport and have no interest learning anything about it. You might even build your league a trophy and name it after someone you went to high school with. Binging Advice: This show falls in the 'not safe for work or children' category, so be advised when and where you watch it. Also, get your bank account ready, because after you watch the season 2 draft, you're going to want to head to Las Vegas immediately. Seasons 1-4 available on Netflix.
