15 Shows for 'Cheer' Fans to Watch Right Now

Netflix's Cheer is one of the most surprising hits for the streaming giant in the last few years. Not because its not well done—it's extremely well made—but because it might seem a bit surprising for a show about such an esoteric subject to reach as wide an audience as it has. But like the world of competitive chess before it (with The Queen's Gambit), it's yet another example that audiences don't particularly care what the sport is or if they even understand it; it's about the stakes, the emotions, and the characters involved. And that's where Cheer has really shined.

And while it may feel like you've binged through the latest season of Cheer faster than Trinity Valley recovered from that first pyramid fall, we're here to let you know that there's more ways to get that same fix. Whether it's focused on a nationally-relevant sports championship or something a bit more obscure, there are always ways to find emotion, competition, and complexity in competitive sports moments.

So, while you may be all out of Cheer for now—and don't worry, all the show's recent success and popularity means that a Season 3 is all but a certainty—there are still plenty of places across the streaming-verse where you can get your competitive fix. Without further ado, here are some of those standout picks.
