This Collider feature rounds up seven of the best television series that run to fewer than 20 episodes, arguing that shorter shows can be binge-watched in a day or two while still delivering fully realised characters and storylines. The list spans genres, from dark comedy thrillers to hangout sitcoms and music dramas, highlighting series that make efficient use of a limited episode count.

Among the shows featured are the dark comedy thriller "Bad Sisters" (18 episodes), the hangout sitcom "Crashing" starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge (six episodes, watchable in about two hours), and the music drama "Daisy Jones & the Six", based on the fictional 1970s rock band's rise and split. The article highlights each show's standout qualities, such as sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and tightly plotted storylines, though the full text provided does not list all seven entries.
