Unsurprisingly, Ryan Murphy's name pops up again on this list, this time as being one of the creators of the limited series event Feud: Bette and Joan, alongside Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam. The show, which runs 8 episodes long, chronicles the infamous feud between actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford during and after the movie production of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, which is a brilliant movie in its own right.

What makes this show so damn good are the portrayals of both Bette and Joan by Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange respectively. Quite simply, they're sublime in bringing some arguably career-best performances to an already tantalizing real-life rivalry.

There's a reason the show was nominated for 4 Golden Globes and 1 BAFTA, whilst winning 2 Emmys after being nominated for a staggering 19 categories. Feud currently sports a mighty 8.5 rating on IMDb and has been lathered in critical praise from nearly all outlets. Its short episode length, and delicious narrative make for perfect binge material.
