Sadly, their dream turned into a nightmare when they started getting ominous letters from the watcher. There are so many twists and turns in this low-key horror show that you won't know who did it and what's going to happen next. You can watch this TV show on Netflix.
Though "Sister Wives" has been on the air for 17 seasons, fans are watching in droves as the third wife, Christine, officially divorces the family.

It's set in Regency-era England and focuses on the Bridgerton family, who are trying to keep their status after their father's untimely passing. You can watch "Bridgerton" on Netflix.
Most remakes of classics don't fare well, but "Cobra Kai" is the exception. The Karate Kid series in the 1980s was a huge box-office success, and this series picks up where it left off. The feud between Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence makes this show worth watching. There are currently five seasons, but a sixth is in the works. You can watch it on Netflix.
A couple inherits an estate in the country. They dream of turning it into a bed and breakfast and working the business to make a living. Samantha and Jay have delusions of grandeur as their plans fall apart.
This hilarious drama features paranormal activity with more of a funny twist rather than sinister. Samantha can see, hear, and communicate with the dead, but her husband doesn’t have this ability. It makes for some hilarious TV. You can watch "Ghosts" on CBS.
What shows look good for you to binge-watch this fall? There are some great TV programs above, but the real problem will be finding enough time to fit them into your busy schedule.
