What series, new or old, are you currently watching on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/wherever?
I was on vacation when it dropped, so I'm only just getting around to jumping onto the Stranger Things bandwagon. I'm usually a bit leery of anything capable of spawning so many Buzzfeed listicles, but I'm four episodes in and really enjoying it so far. The 80s nostalgia is everything I'd heard it was and the cast is pretty great, awkward, toothless, bug-eyed kids and all; plus, Winona Ryder is killin' it. And the soundtrack! So good! Somehow it managed to bring together two things I generally dislike--Peter Gabriel, and cover versions of David Bowie's Heroes--and make it amazing! The show hasn't quite triggered my transformation into Ultimate Binge Form yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how it all resolves.
So, what about you guys? Have any recommendations?

Master Chef South Park Sons of Anarchy
I just finished Marco Polo and it was getting so good. Then due to budgeting costs and Benedict Wong leaving the cast, MP S3 is cancelled. :^)

Currently I'm rewatching Farscape. Recently I've watched Penny Dreadful, The Last Kingdom, That 70's Show, The 100, and Arrested Development. Will probably start Stranger Things next as so many are recommending it. I just finished Marco Polo and it was getting so good. Then due to budgeting costs and Benedict Wong leaving the cast, MP S3 is cancelled. :^) WHAT!?! NOOOOO! ... I liked that show.

Loved stranger things, I binge watched when it came out when my partner was away, then pretended I hadn't seen it when my partner returned and binge watched it again with him (because I thought he'd like it, and he wouldn't watch it if he knew I'd seen it already) Watched 'What we do in the shadows' recently, was very amusing Need to watch season 2 of Marco Polo but lack motivation at present.

Just finished watching Stranger Things. LOVED IT.
Currently watching Season 2 of Mr. Robot. Hasn't grabbed me like the first season had (my husband and I binge watched the entire season until dawn lol) but it's still early.

D; S1 was better but S2 was still good! Well Kokachin's thread was kinda dull and silly but otherwise I enjoyed it. Regardless, can't do the show without Benedict Wong. Kublai makes the show, awesome character! ... Now I'm all sad.

Hasn't grabbed me like the first season had (my husband and I binge watched the entire season until dawn lol) but it's still early. Ditto, the first season was some of the best TV I've seen. I'm curious what the big mindfuck will be as S2 seems more about abrupt secondary/tertiary character deaths than psychological mind-trickeries.

I'm currently watching American Horror Story, and I've to say I absolutely loved the Murder House, but Asylum was pain to watch, especially the first three, four episodes. I'm not exactly sure why that is; I didn't like any of the characters, the plot was a bit weird I mean, c'mon - aliens? Seriously? Certainly didn't expect that to actually be part of the plot and... IDK. It's just not my cup of tea, that one, and Evan Peters and his lovely face was the only reason I did sit it through Can't say anything about Coven, not even finished with the first episode yet. I'm probably going to rewatch Being Human next (the UK version, don't know if Netflix has the US version?), I love that show to bits

Love the show, and thought season 2 was better than the first. Also loved Stranger Things, and currently watching Bloodline season 2.

Recently finished Outlander season 1-2 and Preacher season 1. Can safely recommend both. Great shows.
Now I'm watching the first season of Fargo. Enjoying it so far after 2 episodes. After that probably Stranger Things. It looks really interesting.

Finished Stranger Things a week ago or so 5/5. I loved that they didn't make fun of the 80's but rather just injected the spirit of the 80's. Just also finished watching season 1 of Rick and Morty.

I have a million and one things on my watch list.
Limitless, the tv series was great.
I've really been attached to this documentary about Eugene Cernan and the Apollo Program called 'The Last Man on the Moon'.
If anybody wants to Netflix with me (in a virtually, totally-not-sexual chilling way (sorry, I've been drinking) over XBL or computer voice chat, just message me)
In fact, I should make a thread for that.

Last night over dinner we finished off Season 7 of Archer. Enjoyed it overall, though the earlier seasons are still the better ones imo. Curious to see how they write themselves out of the cliffhanger they left on, though.

Finished watching Wentworth last week, season 4. Really entertained by that one, and having also watched all of OINTB, Wentworth makes the former look like a Disneyfied version of prison life. I've liked both of them, though, but Ww is just quite a bit grittier. Also finished bingewatching Stranger Things last night. Oh, the 80s nostalgia! And for once, the writers put some effort into a tv show and made smart characters - that is refreshing to see. (Ok, there have to be the airheads, too, but at least the most interesting characters were well done.)
