The volume of quality television available in 2026 is genuinely overwhelming. From HBO prestige drama to acclaimed Apple TV+ originals, Nordic noir to South Korean thrillers — Canadian viewers have access to an unprecedented range of excellent television. The challenge is knowing where to start.
We've cut through the noise to identify the shows that are genuinely addictive — the kind where you say "just one more episode" at midnight and mean it.
The Most Addictive Drama Series Right Now
Succession (Crave / HBO)
If you haven't watched Succession, you have a gift ahead of you. Four seasons of the finest TV drama of the 21st century — the Roy family's battle for control of a global media empire is Shakespearean in scope and darkly, mercilessly funny. All four seasons available on Crave and Apollo Group TV's VOD.
The Last of Us (Crave / HBO)
Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the post-apocalyptic drama that elevated video game adaptations permanently. Two seasons are out now, with a third already filming. Watch Season 1 immediately if you haven't already.
Severance (Apple TV+)
Employees at a mysterious corporation have their work and personal memories surgically divided. One of the most original and visually stunning shows in years — Season 2 answered every question while asking ten more, and Season 3 is now in production.
Industry (Crave / HBO)
Young graduates navigating the brutally competitive world of London investment banking. Shockingly good — unflinching, intelligent, and made with genuine insider knowledge of trading-floor culture. Four seasons in and still just as sharp.
The Best Thriller Series to Binge
Slow Horses (Apple TV+)
Gary Oldman leads MI5's rejects in this consistently brilliant spy thriller. Five seasons in, with two more already confirmed. The rare show where every single regular cast member is compelling.
White Lotus (Crave / HBO)
Mike White's anthology series about holidaymakers at luxury resorts conceals razor-sharp class satire beneath gorgeous cinematography. Season 3, set in Thailand, delivered the most intense episode-by-episode discourse yet — and Season 4 is already filming on the French Riviera.
Squid Game (Netflix)
The South Korean phenomenon wrapped its three-season run in 2025. Season 3 closes out Gi-hun's story with the games' cynicism turned all the way up — all three seasons are available to binge back to back.
Must-Watch Sci-Fi & Fantasy
The Penguin (Crave / HBO)
Colin Farrell's extraordinary performance as Oz Cobb in this Batman spin-off is one of the great TV acting achievements of recent years. Eight episodes that feel like eight excellent films.
For All Mankind (Apple TV+)
The alt-history where the Soviet Union won the space race is now five seasons deep, with a sixth and final season already confirmed. Constantly surprising, genuinely emotional and technically meticulous.
How to Watch All of These in Canada

Apollo Group TV gives you access to all of them — HBO, Apple TV+, Netflix, and a 180,000+ VOD library — for as little as $19.99/month. One subscription, everything in one place.
