Quarantine has allowed us to catch up on all of our favorite shows, everything from the eccentric documentary “Tiger King” to rewatching the best “The Office” episodes. With so many options to choose from, we wanted to find shows that we would like through a different lens, via our zodiac signs. 

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries’ are the Ram in the zodiac. They are optimistic, passionate and determined. We love a good reality competition show, and when Netflix released “Glow Up,” we were immediately hooked. “Glow Up” is a UK-based makeup competition. Contestants put their beauty skills to the test in a variety of challenges, all with perfectly lipsticked smiles on their faces. They all demonstrate classic Aries characteristics. “Glow Up” is a feel-good show and makes us want to spend more time perfecting the perfect smokey eye. 

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus’ are the Bull in the zodiac. They are practical, devoted and responsible. Any article discussing binge worthy shows would not be complete without the famous medical drama, “Grey's Anatomy.” Devoted to their work and to each other, the doctors at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital are one-of-a-kind. Spoiler alert: you will cry, a lot. 

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Geminis are the celestial twins in the zodiac. They are curious, affectionate and adaptable. This may be the most feel-good show on this list. “It’s A Dog’s Life” follows Disney legend Bill Farmer as he travels across the country meeting dogs who are making a difference. From college mascots to sheep dogs, all of the canines in this series would make any Gemini want to cuddle up next to them.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancers are the crab in the zodiac. They are fiercely loyal, emotional and persuasive. When we think of a series where the characters are emotional and loyal, our minds immediately go to “One Tree Hill.” Weaving the tale of two half-brothers and their lives in Tree Hill, OTH is the perfect soapy teen drama that is sure to have any Cancer hooked. The bigger question, Team Nathan or Team Lucas?

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Leo’s are “the king” of the zodiac, that is they are the lion. They are creative, cheerful and warm-hearted. “Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner” is one of the funniest and joy-filled shows out there. The show’s host walks around New York City and asks questions to passersby. With a ton of famous guest stars and silly interactions, we know that Leos will want to make an appearance on Billy’s show. 

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgo’s are represented by a maiden figure. They are loyal, practical and hardworking. The Netflix original “Mindhunter” is a true-crime drama series based on FBl profiler’s John Douglas’ book. Holden, Tench and Wendy are FBI profilers who begin the practice of psychologically analyzing serial killers. Just like a typical Virgo, the three main characters work incredibly hard to find monsters. Note to reader: don’t watch this after dark!

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libra’s are represented by scales in the zodiac. They are diplomatic, gracious and social. One of our favorite political dramas is “Mrs. America” on Hulu. The series, loosely based on a true story, explores the women behind the passing of the Equal Rights Act. With a rockstar cast (and fashion department), “Mrs. America” is sure to satisfy any Libra looking for her next obsession. 

Scorpio (October 3 - November 21)

Scorpio’s are represented by a scorpion in the zodiac. They are brave, passionate and stubborn. These three adjectives would describe any of the leading women in HBO’s “Big Little Lies.” Based on Liane Moriarty’s novel of the same name, “Big Little Lies” follows the lives of five women in Monterey, CA who are harboring a huge secret. We can’t say much more without giving it away, but we know that Scorpio’s will be itching for a third season. 

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius’ are represented by the archer in the zodiac. They are generous, funny and idealistic. A sagittarius will surely find a laugh while watching “Schitt’s Creek,” the story of how a wealthy family loses all of their money and moves to the titular town. This series demonstrates wonderful character development through its six seasons while exploring how sometimes the worst of situations brings people closer together. Find it on Netflix. 

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are represented by a sea-goat symbol in the zodiac. They are controlled, disciplined and responsible. Any good team of crime fighters needs to fit the characteristics of a Capricorn, even if they weren’t born in December or January. In “Criminal Minds,” this is definitely the case. Spanning 15 seasons and a host of different recurring characters, “Criminal Minds” tells the stories of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit and its team. Interestingly enough, this show is loosely based on the stories from John Douglas, who is mentioned earlier in this article. 

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius’ are the water-bearers in the zodiac. They are original, independent and typically humanitarians. Netflix’s quirky true-crime documentary, “Don’t F*** With Cats,” is sure to make any Aqaurius scour the internet searching for vigilance. This doc interviews the internet sleuths who tirelessly searched for Luka Magnotta, a killer who posted videos of himself murdering cats and one man on Youtube. 

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Last but certainly not least, Pisces are the fish in the zodiac. They are artistic, passionate and musical. Is there any better music-focused show than “Glee?” This show follows the stories of members of William Mckinley’s High School glee club. “Glee” is sure to make any Pisces sing along.
