Why You Should Binge: While everyone usually throws a lot of love at The Office, don’t get me wrong it’s justified, I’ve always had a bigger place in my heart for 30 Rock for its brilliant writing & great comedic ensemble cast. Maybe it’s funnier if you’re more familiar with the entertainment industry but there’s never a dull moment & at 30 minutes, each episode is a breeze to watch. The series also features Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin at their comedic best, with their characters Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy deserving a place in pop culture as some of the best characters in a comedy series of all-time.
