Stuck on ideas for a new binge-worthy television series? Fear no more!

We’re here with some TV-matchmaking so you can find your ideal show based on your uni degree.

Law Students

Suits is a series set in a successful New York City law firm. The protagonist, although an extremely talented lawyer, is not actually qualified, as he never graduated from college. The show is filled with clever, witty characters and a good dose of both courtroom and personal drama.

PSA — We would like to advise you law kids that you will still most likely need a law degree if you want to practise law (i.e. you might not actually be able to impress prospective employers with your integrity in taking other students’ exams for them and your lack of qualifications). Stay in school, kids.

Philosophy Students

The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell, is a very clever show about the afterlife that makes philosophy seem oh-so-cool. The series begins as Kristen Bell’s character has died and is mistakenly accepted into the Good Place (heaven), instead of the Bad Place (hell).

It’s an inquisitive, hilarious and heart-warming show that explores the principles of morality, utilitarianism and Kantian ethics. 

Business Students

What better way to prep business students for life in the office other than the hilarious television show about The Office itself? The American adaptation starring Steve Carell follows a group of typical office co-workers, whose workdays often consist less of paperwork and more of ego clashes, immature behaviour and boredom. 

Science and Engineering Students 

The Big Bang Theory is a fantastic show about a group of friends who often clash but are inseparable. It follows the lives and relationships between two physicists, an engineer, an astrophysicist, a neurologist, a microbiologist and an aspiring actress. The contrast between the geekiness and intellect of some and the social skills and common sense of others is hilariously entertaining to watch. Plus it’s got a fair wack of acknowledgement to the importance of science, which is particularly exemplified when they decide to use maths to create a three-person version of chess.

Performing Arts

We’re taking a stab in the dark here and guessing that those studying the dramatic arts probably won’t shy away from their fair dollop of drama in television. For this reason, we recommend Gossip Girl — a very dramatic and addictive series.

The show revolves around the lives of a group of wealthy adolescents from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Their secrets are never secrets for long on account of the popular and ruthless blog, Gossip Girl. Although some of the drama might be eye-roll-worthy, the characters are unique and worldly, and the plot is gripping. Look forward to dramatic relationships, scheming, gossip, betrayal, revenge and a hint of humour. Ex-oh, ex-oh.

Medicine Students 

Possibly the most famous medical show of all time, Grey’s Anatomy is an emotional series that follows the lives of a group of surgical interns, residents and attending physicians, as they further their careers in medicine while attempting to balance their personal lives and relationships.

The series highlights the intensity of the medical industry and importance of friendships — but also doesn’t shy away from a lot of personal drama. Although, given what we’ve learned about doctors the show, we’re guessing that all you med students won’t actually have the time to binge watch a 14-season TV series anyway. What with all the lives you’re constantly saving and steamy romances that take up your little spare time.

If you’re a good student and have already seen your assigned show, why not brush up on some of the other series so that you can bluff your way into using the law library without being quietly judged and death-stared?
