10. ‘Dateline’ (1992– )

NBC’s newsmagazine ‘Dateline’ presents long-form investigations and detailed true-crime storytelling, following a central case from disappearance or discovery through trial and aftermath. Episodes combine interviews with law enforcement and key witnesses, producer-approved recreations, and reporting that clarifies timelines, relationships, and evidentiary pivots.

Anchored by Lester Holt, the series features correspondents Keith Morrison, Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, and Dennis Murphy. Produced by NBC News, the program relies on extensive field reporting, public records, and courtroom access, with episodes structured to walk viewers through evidence and legal outcomes in a comprehensive, narrative style.

9. ‘Snapped’ (2004– )

This true-crime anthology examines cases—often centered on women accused or convicted of serious offenses—using interviews with investigators, prosecutors, family members, and journalists. Episodes reconstruct timelines from initial incident through arrest and verdict, incorporating archival materials, call logs, and reenactments to clarify how cases developed.

Produced by Jupiter Entertainment for Oxygen, ‘Snapped’ is the network’s longest-running original series, with hundreds of episodes spanning many seasons and multiple spin-offs. The show’s standardized casefile structure covers motive, forensics, courtroom testimony, and outcomes, organizing each hour around victimology, suspect profiles, and investigative breakthroughs.

8. ‘Below Deck’ (2013– )

The flagship yachting docu-series follows deck, interior, and galley teams as they run luxury charters—handling preference sheets, provisioning, docking, safety drills, and mid-charter crises—before tip meetings at the end of each trip. Seasons are filmed aboard superyachts in locales like the Caribbean and Grenada, capturing crew rotations and demanding turnaround windows between charters.

The original run prominently featured Captain Lee Rosbach across many seasons, with Captain Kerry Titheradge taking the helm in later seasons. The franchise is executive-produced by Mark Cronin and produced with a behind-the-scenes maritime focus that spotlights chiefs stews, bosuns, and chefs driving service standards and episodic story through training, teamwork, and guest management.

7. ‘Jeopardy!’ (1984– )

‘Jeopardy!’ is the long-running quiz show in which contestants select clues from a board of categories and must respond in the form of a question, with Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy shaping risk and outcomes. The format includes returning champions, strict timing and lock-in mechanics, and a writers’ room that produces new clue sets daily across general knowledge and themed subjects.

Created by Merv Griffin, the modern syndicated version premiered in 1984 and is currently hosted by Ken Jennings. Michael Davies serves as executive producer, with Sony Pictures Television overseeing production. Taped before a live audience, the show runs regular seasons plus special tournaments and primetime events.

6. ‘The Rainmaker’ (2025– )

Adapted from John Grisham’s novel, ‘The Rainmaker’ follows newly minted attorney Rudy Baylor as he pursues a high-stakes insurance case that exposes alleged bad-faith practices at a powerful firm. The serialized legal arc tracks depositions, discovery battles, and courtroom strategy sessions while expanding client backstories and law-firm politics beyond the core suit.

Developed for television by Michael Seitzman and Jason Richman, the USA Network series streams next-day on Peacock. The cast features Milo Callaghan as Rudy Baylor, Lana Parrilla, Madison Iseman, P. J. Byrne as Deck Shifflet, Dan Fogler, Wade Briggs, Robyn Cara, and John Slattery as opposing counsel Leo F. Drummond.

5. ‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ (2011– )

This Miami-set entry follows an ensemble whose friendships and ventures unfold across beachside parties, art-and-fashion events, and group trips that reframe alliances. Episodes weave together at-home scenes and cast functions with confessionals that contextualize conflicts and business milestones throughout the season.

Across its run, the cast has included Alexia Nepola, Larsa Pippen, Lisa Hochstein, Julia Lemigova, Guerdy Abraira, and Dr. Nicole Martin, among others. Produced in the franchise style, the show’s season arcs are built around relationship developments, career moves, and city-calendar tentpoles that provide backdrop and momentum.

4. ‘The Paper’ (2025– )

‘The Paper’ is a mockumentary sitcom from creator-showrunners Greg Daniels and Michael Koman that follows a documentary crew as it embeds at a struggling Midwestern newspaper fighting to revive local journalism. Episodes chart the lifecycle of a story—from pitch to publish—covering source vetting, copy-desk rewrites, legal risk checks, and push-alert deadlines inside a small, resource-stretched newsroom.

The cast is led by Domhnall Gleeson, with Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez among the ensemble. Produced by Deedle-Dee Productions, Universal Television, and Banijay Americas, the single-camera series uses interview cutaways and on-the-job sequences, with executive producers including Daniels, Koman, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Merchant.

3. ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ (2020– )

Set along Utah’s Wasatch Front, ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’ chronicles a circle of women whose friendships intersect with businesses and distinct community ties. Episodes move from snow-season festivities and product launches to at-home fallouts, with multi-episode arcs culminating in reunions that revisit the year’s major flashpoints.

Part of the larger Bravo ecosystem, the series uses the franchise’s ensemble-docu approach. Cast lineups have featured Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, and others across seasons. Production captures both personal updates and anchor trips, with a mix of interview bites, verité coverage, and tentpole events that shape each season’s spine.

2. ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ (2006– )

The O.C. flagship follows the personal, family, and entrepreneurial lives of women in and around Orange County, California, tracking season-long arcs through launches, charity events, and cast trips before capping with reunion episodes. Storylines are built from verité scenes, ensemble meet-ups, and confessional interviews that revisit conflicts and resolve cliffhangers.

Created by Scott Dunlop and produced by Evolution Media, long-running and notable cast across seasons include Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Shannon Storms Beador, and Heather Dubrow. The show’s structure—producer-guided events, small-group scenes, and reunion tapings—has become the template for other entries in the franchise.

1. ‘Love Island Games’ (2023– )

A global all-stars spin-off of the ‘Love Island’ franchise, ‘Love Island Games’ brings former Islanders from the U.S., U.K., Australia, and other editions into a Fiji villa to compete in daily physical and strategic challenges alongside the familiar coupling, recoupling, and elimination mechanics. The format layers head-to-head games and team tasks over the standard villa playbook—texts, bombshell arrivals, and public votes—creating a hybrid of dating show and competition series.

Season 2 is hosted by Ariana Madix, with Iain Stirling narrating. The series launched in 2023 on Peacock and films on an accelerated schedule that supports near-real-time episode drops. The production is overseen by the franchise’s U.S. partners and uses a multi-camera rig across shared spaces and challenge arenas, with ‘Love Island Aftersun’ segments hosted by Maura Higgins complementing the main run.
