Hands up if you’ve ever spent more time scrolling through a streaming library than actually watching sweet, sweet content?

Of all the First World Problems out there (Bieber engaged after a month of dating, for example), having to wade through a sea of titles to figure out what to watch is surely the most vexing. Library fatigue is real, you guys.

But there’s a new streaming service in town, which means your next binge session should be a total cinch. Pick one of these shows and rediscover that butt groove on the couch ­– there’s no way you’re moving this weekend.

#1 Law And Order: Special Victims Unit

Watch if you: Have some serious hours to burn and a knack for picking whodunnit

We don’t mean to alarm you, but seasons one to four of juicy procedural cop drama Law and Order: SVU are available to stream on Amazon Prime right now (you’ll have to go elsewhere for seasons five to whatever the hell it’s up to now, because this show is STILL GOING).

Watch Benson and Stabler (let’s be real, it’s mostly Benson) kick some deranged criminal butt, see rapper Ice T give his very best acting effort as Fin Tutuola, and hum along to arguably the most recognisable theme song of all time. DUN DUN.

FYI, episodes of SVU are 40 minutes long, which means you can technically fit 72 episodes into a single weekend provided you don’t eat, sleep or take bathroom breaks. Just saying.

#2 Seinfeld

Watch if you: Are craving an easy-to-watch dose of ‘90s nostalgia

Who doesn’t want to spend their entire weekend with the most hilariously infuriating people ever to be captured on screen? Join Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer (and, occasionally, Newman) as they go about their relatively banal lives as fully-grown babies, and you’ll quickly learn to appreciate the people in your life for what they are – NOT petty, stingy and emotionally stunted.

All that being said, Seinfeld is critically acclaimed for a reason, so if you haven’t watched the most famous “show about nothing”, this weekend seems like the perfect time to become acquainted. If you plan on skipping around the available seasons, don’t miss key episodes like The Limo, when George lies about his identity to score a free ride in a limousine, and The Puffy Shirt, in which Jerry wears an extremely questionable shirt to a talk show appearance.

#3 Sneaky Pete

Watch if you: Are looking for something to fill the Breaking Bad-shaped hole in your life

Sneaky Pete is the brainchild of Breaking Bad alumni Bryan Cranston and House creator David Shore, so you know it’s going to be equal parts intense and whip-smart. The crime-drama series follows the story of Marius Josipović (Giovanni Ribisi), a former convict who steals the identity of his one-time cellmate Pete Murphy in a bid to outrun all the bad folks that pepper his seedy past.

He even “reunites” with Pete’s family – apparently, Pete’s been in the slammer for long enough that his own family has forgotten what he looks like, embracing the new Pete with open arms.

In the same way that Breaking Bad signalled a vast departure from the roles Cranston was best known for up to that point, Sneaky Pete is a big jump for Ribisi, who’s perhaps best known for playing Phoebe Buffay’s idiot brother in Friends.

#4 Mozart In The Jungle

Watch if you: Want a snappy comedy about the New York arts scene, or if you remember that guy who played Che Guevara that time

Mozart in the Jungle is a collaboration between Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman, two dudes who, for sure, know what they’re doing in the realm of narrative drama. Gael Garcia Bernal (AKA Che Guevara) plays a young, eccentric orchestra conductor, recently arrived in the figurative jaws of the lion that is New York City. He proceeds to take on the cultural scene there, upsetting the vanguard of musical old fogeys with a unique style and devil-may-care attitude.

Before you write the show’s premise off as too lofty, know that Coppola and Schwartzman have concocted a comedy in a similar vein to Girls and Flesh and Bone. It’s hip – trust us.

#5 The Man In The High Castle

Watch if you: Are in the mood for dystopian sci-fi

New sci-fi The Man in the High Castle turns the world as we know it on its head: In this version, Germany and its allies won WWII, and the USA is controlled by the Japanese on one side and Nazis on the other, with a buffer zone between them. Sounds peachy, right?

The first series takes place in 1962 and follows characters as they discover propaganda videos depicting a different historically accurate interpretation of what actually went down during WWII. Needless to say, minds are blown.

If this is sounding familiar, you’ve probably read Philip K Dick’s eponymous novel upon which the series is based, but fret not – the adaptation is equal parts faithful and inventive, making it as good a watch for die-hard book fans and newbies alike.

#6 Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan

Watch if you: Are making your first or 40th foray into the Jack Ryan universe

Jack Ryan has been a part of the pop-culture landscape since Alec Baldwin first brought the iconic action hero to the big screen in 1990’s The Hunt For Red October, but the newest instalment – Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan – signifies the first time the much-love story has been tackled in a TV format.

With season one primed to drop on August 31, the series sees The Office alumni John Krasinski in the title role of Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst catapulted from his desk job into a world of espionage after happening upon a bunch of suspicious bank transfers. In the course of his travels across Europe and the Middle East, he uncovers a terrorist threat against the USA.

Strap in – it’s going to be a wild ride.
