The TV Shows You Should Watch Over the Holidays

Many people have some downtime in the next few days — perhaps downtime spent with family, perhaps downtime spent on a solo mission. Either way, it's time best spent watching TV. Here are some of the best ways to cure your TV cravings over the holidays. I like doctor shows. You need NY Med (eight episodes, Hulu). The documentary series is a clear-eyed look at doctors, nurses, and patients at various points in the treatment process: Sometimes we see trauma patients in the ER, sometimes residents getting chewed out between shifts, sometimes patients coming in for a nerve-wracking follow-up. Previous incarnations (Hopkins 24/7, Boston Med) had a wider variety of outcomes, but NY Med is still riveting. Unfortunately, Dr. Oz is on this show, but he's performing surgeries, not shilling for fraudulent weight-loss supplements.I want more Hunger Games. Oh, and Battlestar Galactica.
