3. Being Erica

Erica has a few life regrets. (Hey, don't we all...) Lucky for her, she gets to go back in time and redo the things she wishes she could change.

4. Billy & Billie

This short-lived series follows step-siblings who fall in love and are then seriously judged by everyone around them. It also stars Adam Brody, who is still a dreamboat, FYI.

5. Younger

Single mum Liza lies about her age in an effort to land her dream job, and she pulls it off, with a really hot boyfriend, too.

6. Imposters

Maddie is a gifted con artist, who has managed to steal more than just people's belongings. But she might be about to get what she deserves.

7. Drop Dead Diva

A skinny, shallow woman dies, only to be reincarnated as a plus-size lawyer. As you can probably guess, she's in store for a few life lessons.

8. UnREAL

This show follows the behind the scenes dramas of a fictional reality dating show called Everlasting. You'll never watch The Bachelor the same way.

9. Barely Famous

This mockumentary-style reality show follows real-life sisters Sara and Erin Foster. And if you don't know who they are, look them up on Instagram - they're hilarious.

10. Friends

It never stops being funny... Friends follows six friends living in New York in the '90s as they navigate life and love. But you already knew that.

11. Will & Grace

Re-watch the original series and then go and watch the new series.

12. Broad City

This show will be ending after its fifth season - can we get a noooo - but it follows friends Abbi and Ilana, who are just trying to live their best lives.

13. The Good Fight

To be honest, we still haven't fully forgiven the producers of The Good Wife for killing off Will, but we're prepared to give them a second chance with this show.

Based on a book, this show comes to Stan on May 7, and follows Tess, a young woman who lands a job at a prestigious New York City restaurant.
