So last week, we began with the first ever Watch With NoWhiteNoise, and it was moderately not-so-unpopular. But some people didn’t understand why some shows were listed and others weren’t.

So, let me explain further. These are the shows we just have to watch this week. Perhaps the spoilers are enthralling for this particular episode, maybe the promo was amazing, maybe last week’s cliffhanger was insane. Whatever the case, these are the shows our staff has decided they need to watch live — at all costs.

Of course, there’s other shows on and whatnot, but here’s what we handpicked. So, just know when you’re watching these shows, so are we!
