When it comes to binge watching, it’s easy to have something next in the queue after finishing your current series — but some shows hit closer to home than others.

There’s at least one iconic TV show set in every state in the U.S., and Insider took the liberty of highlighting the most famous TV show in each one. Here’s how its team got to work:

“We looked at how many awards any given show has won or was nominated for using IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, as well as its cultural impact in today's world to determine the most famous TV show in every state.”

There are tons of movies and TV shows filmed in Georgia — but which one is the most famous show set in the Peach State?

The Walking Dead.

The AMC zombie apocalypse series debuted in 2010. Here’s what Insider said about it:

“A zombie-like apocalypse has taken over and humans are struggling to stay alive while searching for a cure in this post-apocalyptic drama, which mostly takes place in and around Atlanta, Georgia. The show has become a downright phenomenon since its 2010 premiere. By the time it ends after its eleventh season, it will have been AMC's highest-rated show of all time, spawned at least four spin-offs, one nine-season after show (Talking Dead), and multiple movies, and garnered 16 Emmy nominations.”
