With busy nights of homework and the cool fall months upon us, there’s nothing better than spending the weekend relaxing with your favorite show. But many of us spent the spring and summer days binging away, and are in need of a new favorite. One of the Lasso’s features teams put together their best suggestions:

1. Designated Survivor (3 Seasons) 

Designated Survivor is the perfect political thriller for those who enjoy action and problem-solving. The show follows Tom Kirkman, a low-level cabinet member who, after an unexpected terrorist attack at the State of the Union address, suddenly becomes president of the United States. As one of the few survivors, he struggles to keep the country from crumbling. Throughout the first season, Kirkman attempts to rebuild the government and begins the search for the people responsible for the attack.
