The 10 Best Shows Of The Year (So Far)

From buzzy new releases to under-the-radar gems, we’re officially halfway through the year, so it’s time to round up the very best TV shows of 2025 (so far). In this episode, Laura and Taylah share their top picks for what you should be watching right now. Yes, there are a few big titles you’ll recognise (White Lotus, we see you), but most of these are fresh releases that dropped their first season this year, and might not be on your radar yet. From Stanley Tucci’s delicious culinary quest through Italy, to an underrated Netflix comedy about love, ageing and awkward family dynamics, and Kate Hudson's fun, sporty series with a big heart, there’s something for everyone to curl up with this winter.
