Buckle up, folks, it's going to be a long ride.

If you have been following the news about the writers' and actors' strikes, you may understand the general frustration that has gripped the industry. No matter how damaging the consequences of the strikes will be for everyone, including the studios and streaming services, executives are not willing to move forward with any negotiations.

While both fans and industry professionals are hoping that a solution to the strikes will be found soon, there are no signs that the end is near. So all viewers can do is rely on all the great content that has already been released.

Luckily, there is no shortage of long TV shows that can feed your cravings and keep you entertained for as long as it takes. Here are five series we recommend you start with.

Criminal Minds

If you're a fan of procedural series but still didn't have a chance to check out Criminal Minds, you are seriously missing out! The show has been around since 2005 and managed to keep the majority of the core team of characters intact. Although the story has had its ups and downs, Criminal Minds is definitely worth a try.

Shameless

Those who were watching the Gallaghers grow up, evolve, get in trouble, and fall in love throughout the 11 seasons of Shameless will never get tired of recommending it. The series does a perfect job showing the best and the worst of people joined by blood and friendships into one big and occasionally happy family.

Modern Family

When it comes to sitcoms, not that many of them can boast a long run. Modern Family, however, managed to stay afloat for 11 seasons — and what's more exciting, it hadn't lost any of its quality in the process. A perfect choice for those looking for comedic relief after hard working days.

ER

A timeless classic of medical dramas, ER had been on the air for 15 seasons from 1994 to 2009. Besides being extremely entertaining thanks to all the drama between the residents, the show will tackle your nostalgia for the 90s in the best ways possible.

Doctor Who

Don't rush to skip this one! As millions of Whovians around the globe would assure you, Doctor Who, which was originally supposed to be a children's show, is worth giving a try even if you're all grown-up and not that interested in intergalactic adventures.

With 14 modern series and many more classic ones, released from 1960, you'll never grow tired of the iconic character.
