Here are all the shows you can binge-watch over Thanksgiving weekend:

"Godless"

Where to watch: Netflix

In this Western from executive producer Steven Soderbergh, a man in hiding from an outlaw in the 1880s American West ends up in a mysterious New Mexico town of only women. It's a gritty, exciting, and well-acted western with memorable performances from Michelle Dockery and Jeff Bridges. "Godless" was made to binge, proving its debut in the middle of Thanksgiving week definitely isn't coincidental.

"Future Man"

Where to watch: Hulu

This charming and silly action comedy from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg made its debut on Hulu last week. With thirty minute episodes, you'll probably finish with enough time to move on to something else (that is, depending on how much you want to avoid seeing your family). The series, starring Josh Hutcherson, mixes nostalgic science fiction as seen in "Terminator 2" and "Blade Runner" with Rogen's signature gross-out comedy.

"Marvel's The Runaways"

Where to watch: Hulu

From the team behind "Gossip Girl" and "The O.C.," "The Runaways" follows Los Angeles teenagers who find out that their parents are evil (they murder people) and have been lying to them their entire lives. They're only teenagers so their lives aren't as long as they think right now, but they team up to stop their evil parents from being evil. It's a fun weekend binge, especially if you're into the Marvel universe and get invested in teen drama easily.

"Mudbound"

Where to watch: Netflix

"Mudbound" follows the lives of two men who return to Mississippi after World War II, and their families: one white, one black. The black man finds that in Mississippi, racism is still rampant despite the fact that he fought alongside white men. Writer and director Dee Rees examines every character with a non-judgmental but unflinching eye, and her movie is one of the year's best.

"Marvel's The Punisher"

Where to watch: Netflix

Warning: "The Punisher" is very violent, and definitely not fun for the whole family. "The Punisher" tries to experiment with its genre by doing the unexpected with its material. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it fails. But it's entertaining, and provides deep insight into the life of a man with PTSD, and Jon Bernthal is great in it.

"Vice Principals"

Where to watch: HBOGo, HBONow

"Vice Principals" just ended its run with its second season. Its short run (which was planned from the beginning) proves that a show can really go somewhere in a short period of time. With an ending always on the table, "Vice Principals" transformed from a dark comedy to an excellent slapstick character study. The series finale is hilarious and goes places you could never imagine (a tiger hunts humans). It's also a glimpse at people not normally depicted on television: not-wealthy people in small towns. It's ridiculous and fun, but we're glad it ended when it did.

BONUS: "The Crown"

Where to watch: Netflix

Season two of the critically acclaimed series arrives December 8, so now is the perfect time to catch up on the first season. "The Crown" is also a great conversation saver. Run out of things to say to your relatives? Political chat gone sour? Simply share a fact you learned from the show, and you'll be fine.
