If you get anxiety thinking about the overwhelming amount of top-quality TV shows there are this year, you may want to sit down. In a year full of shows that made us laugh, cry, and sweat (see: the final episode of Big Little Lies), we've somehow only gone through eight months of the year.

A new wave of shows are set to hit the airwaves this fall and, as with most decisions, the amount of choices we have can be overwhelming. To help ease you into the binge-worthy television that'll keep you hole up in your room while the temperature drops, we picked out 15 favorites that you need to see. From new seasons American Horror Story: Cult and Riverdale to fresh offerings like The Deuce and Dynasty, these are the essential shows to watch this fall.
