Everyone should spend a lazy fall Sunday just watching Over the Garden Wall.

Listen, sometimes you're in the mood to binge-watch a very loooooong TV show, like Criminal Minds, Grey's Anatomy, or Law & Order: SVU.

But, other times, you want a really great show that you can watch in just a few days, and it turns out to be so good that it sticks with you long after you're done.

So, I want to know which TV shows with less than 40 episodes are 100% worth watching. Give me the well-known ones but also the underrated ones, too.

Maybe you're like me, and you will always recommend Fleabag. Like, I have watched this show so many times, and I find something new to love (and cry over) every time I rewatch it.

Perhaps you're someone who loves a limited series, and one of the best you've ever watched is Chernobyl. Not only was the acting phenomenal, but it was so well put together it made you nauseous watching it. It's a hard watch, but you recommend it every time.

Maybe the only logical answer to this question for you is Derry Girls because, with just 19 episodes, it's somehow one of the funniest and most heartfelt series you've ever watched.

Heck, perhaps you need more people to experience the absolute masterpiece that is Over the Garden Wall. The animation is stunning and Wirt and Greg were two of the best characters on TV, in your opinion.
