While we certainly appreciate TV shows that span several years and feature deep, convoluted narratives with (mostly) satisfying conclusions, sometimes it is satisfying just to be told a story in one palatable bite. Shows such as Game of Thrones have made their mark by delivering hours upon hours of gripping television, but that is a major time investment and not binge-able in one weekend (for the record, the series would take three days to watch back-to-back with no break!)
So if you're in the mood for a one-and-done style series that you can start on Friday night and easily finish by Sunday afternoon, even if you take much of the weekend to enjoy the great outdoors, may we suggest you try our favourite TV miniseries? You won't find anything with a second season on this list – what you see is what you get.
