Let’s face it: while an engaging plot and complex characters are key to a great TV show, sometimes what keeps us glued to the screen is pure, unadulterated smut.

From the lush, romantic tales of Bridgerton to the thrilling mysteries in White Lotus, we’ve curated 43 shows that are sure to satisfy your craving for on-screen chemistry.
Much like its blockbuster predecessor, the prequel to Bridgerton does not disappoint.
