There was a fall tv thread, but that's fall. What are some of the must-see stuff you've been watching on the streaming services, particularly the Netflix or Prime-original stuff.

Right now, everyone needs to watch Stranger Things, especially if you have a fondness for the 80's. It's really really good.

I love DareDevil, and can't wait until The Iron Fist comes out. Haven't really gotten into Jessica Jones, though.

Chef's Table on Netflix is phenomenal. New season just came out.

Anyone watch Cooked or Bloodlines? Got a little tired of House of Cards, still need to get further on Narcos.

On Amazon, I really liked The Man In the High Castle. I think it's on USA, but Mr. Robot is pretty good.

What else?

I can probably point to the exact scene where it lost you.

I must try this Stranger Things
Man In The High Castle is slow but I watched out of Sci Fi loyalty
Narco's is AWESOME
Mr Robot is weird but will give it a 2nd season
Hell on Wheels is great
Longmire is also good
See if Tyrant is up yet.

Mr. Robot is the best show on TV.

I think Amazon and Hulu, but especially Amazon, is severely lacking in the originals department but my lists are below. I'd recommend all three Hulu shows listed before any of the below listed Amazon shows

Netflix:
Stranger Things
Arrested Development (only season 4 is a Netflix "original")
Bloodline
F is for Family
Flaked
Love
Making a Murderer
Daredevil
Jessica Jones
Master of None
Narcos
Orange is the New Black
The Ranch (lame but I got enough occasional laughs out of it to keep watching it)
Wet Hot American Summer

Amazon Prime:
The Man in the High Castle
Red Oaks
Transparent (it's alright, I don't get what all the awards people see in it though)

Hulu:
Casual
The Path

Stranger Things is great. Other things we've (or I've) watched and enjoyed include Orange is the New Black, Bloodline, Man in the High Castle, Narcos, Making a Murderer, Bojack Horseman, Master of None, Flaked, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, House of Cards. We liked season one of Transparent, but the flashbacks through us off season two. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.

bojack horseman might be the most unfunny thing i've ever seen that someone told me was funny. bill burr's cartoon was also one of the stupidest shows i attempted to watch.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is actually a CW show

So I'm going to be gone for 2 weeks for work. Want to find 1 or 2 solid choices to watch during the abundance of downtime I'll have in which I can't really go anywhere. What should I chose. I have Netflix and Amazon.

Go!

You guys will crucify me but I never could get into Friday night lights. Maybe it was the hype I heard for years but I gave it try during my last work trip and wasn't feeling it.

Never seen it. Is it available to stream? For a quick watch, Freaks and Geeks is hard to beat.
