10 TV Shows To Binge-Watch Before They Return This Fall

8. Star Wars Rebels

Even after three seasons, Rebels is still something of an underappreciated gem in the Star Wars canon. The TV show might not be as essential viewing as the movies, but it is excellent entertainment for fans young and old.

Over three seasons and 59 episodes we've come to know and care about the Ghost crew, crafting its own unique story and characters that can stand on their own terms while feeding into the bigger universe. The animation, heavily influenced by Ralph McQuarrie, is gorgeous, and there are numerous Easter eggs, references, and cameos to get excited over.

It's saved EU characters from being Legends only, and brings us another intriguing slice of Star Wars around the time of the Rebellion. There's added importance to catch-up now too, because Season 4 has been confirmed as its last.
