You
probably know the feeling when you end your favorite TV show, and suddenly feel
some kind of void that needs filling. That’s why I bring you 4 series ranked
among the best in 2017. Don’t worry I’ll try not to spoil anything.
Stranger Things
Stranger
Things is one of the most popular Netflix productions. Series is set in
fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana probably in the early 80s. The first season starts
with odd, supernatural incident which causes a series of stranger (pun
intended) events. Main characters are a group of teenage friends that try to
solve the omnipresent mystery.
The group
consists of:
- · Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard)
- · Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo)
- · Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin)
- · Will Byers (Noah Schnapp)
- and their new friend Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown)
If you
haven’t already, I highly recommend watching it.
Mindhunter

ongoing cases. Season one aired October 13, 2017 and Netflix officially

Comments
I've seen some episodes od 'Strangers Thing 2' - I liked it, but I'm not the fan, I don't feel need to watch all of missing episodes.
I've heard of 'The crown', but I'm a little bit afraid that watching it will dissapoint me - I know the story, as I'm interesied into history, and I hate glitches in the movies or TV serieses.
I can't tell if I've got one favourite TV show - in last 3 months I finished few series - The Tudors, Borgias, Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, Big little lies, Taboo - I really can't tell (I love Netflix).
I think that I would add Big little lies with Reese Whiterspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz and Alexander Skarsgård. This is short series, but realyy surprising.
I haven't watched any of tv series mentioned above, however I want to watch Stranger Things, it's really hyped at the moment.
So, Game of thrones is one of the most popular shows right now, so it can be added to yours list. Rick and Morty is other very popular show that can be added.
But I can't say anything about the whole series, because a lot of good serials begins with a few not-so-exciting episodes (like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad).
From the list above, I only watched Stranger Things, but I do not have very much time to watch series in general. The show is amazing, I really loved the 1st season, and the 2nd was even better. This one you have to watch if you haven't already.
A recent show I'd add to the list (even though it started airing December 2016) would be The Grand Tour, which is a car show run by the legendary trio consisting of former Top Gear presenters. Other than that, I have nothing to add, as I previously stated I do not watch many series because of the lack of spare time :(
I have never watched TV shows from your list :(
‘Friends’ is my favourite show - it’s timeless, dialogs are always funny and that 90’s style!
What a shame - I didn't watch any of mentioned shows. But I was about to watch The Crown and I will watch it someday for sure.
To the most popular TV shows I would add Narcos obviously. Is't really great and I highly recommend it to everyone who didn't watch it yet!
No, i didn't watch them, but from now i'm interested in Stranger things. You have just made an intrigue, describing that TV show )
Also i want to recommend you to watch and add to this list 'House of cards' and 'Narcos'. Two serials that were made on the true stories and have an awesome storyline.
I've watched only Stranger Things from your list. I think, I'd watched "American Gods". It sounds interesting and I enjoy Neil Gaiman's works.
I also enjoy watching an older British detective TV series Inspector Morse, which is centred around the mysterious crime stories and British humour.
I have seen Stranger Things from the TV shows you presented. I have a nostalgia for the 80s American suburbia and fantasy so I quite liked it. The acting was also marvellous. Millie Bobby Brown gave a remarkable performance.
I was intrigued by Stranger Things- my sister recommended it to me but due to lack of time I haven't watched it yet (and any of the others TV series presented by you). I also want to watch Mindhunter.
I have no idea what to add to this list, really.
I haven't seen your series yet, but I have "Stranger Things" in my plans.
I would also add "Sherlock Holmes", TV series by BBC, to your list. Mysteries in episodes are addicting.
I haven't watched any series you mentioned in article but I heard a lot of positive opinions about "Stranger things" and it's very high in my list things to see :)
I think I'd also add Black Mirror, because it's going to be released this year and it's also quite popular show.
M.D. House is a different story. Watched all episodes twice xd
I have never seen any of those movies but as I said in another article.. "Stranger Things" sounds very interesting for me.
What TV show would you add to this list? "Prison Break" of course! :)
1. My favorite TV shows are “Breaking Bad” and “Californication” mainly because of their great main characters played by Bryan Cranston and David Duchovny respectively. The latter may appear to many people as politically incorrect and rude as storyline is connected with main character’s alcohol, drugs and sex addiction and the language is a bit colorful. However, plot is not only focused on Hank Moody’s bad habits and as a whole is interesting and have a lot of funny moments.
2. I haven’t watched any of those so far but I am planning to watch “Crown” for sure.
3. I am currently watching “Narcos” and think it is worth recommending.
What TV show would I add to this list? The one i mentioned, DUUUUH?
When I was a kid I loved it! I have recently tried rewatching it and it wasn’t that fun because I remembered almost everything.
A few of my all time favourites would be:
House MD - shame you can't forget and re-watch it :)
How I Met Your Mother - a more modern version of Friends
Homeland - Game of Thrones with CIA agents
Americans - Spy Show about KGB agents in 60's America
Banshee - A cop show with a twist
True Detectives - A cop show with a different twist :)
Out of these I've started watching the Mindhunter, but I'm only a few episodes in. I had to stop to watch Punisher and polish-dubbed season 3 of Rick and Morty.
Yes, I have watched "Stranger things" and now I am finishing "Mindhunter".
Personally, I think that I would add "13 reasons why" by Netflix, very deep and intensive series about life in school nowadays.
My favorite TV show is the Vikings. I watch several episodes of the Stranger Things series. I would add TV series like Vikings, Band of Brothers, or Lucifer.
If it comes about those TV shows, i didn't watch any of those but i've heard good opinions.
I would add my fav "Riverdale" of course! :)
In this list, I would add a new The Punisher. The film was excellent, which surprised me very much. Marvel somehow does not carry with serials.
Perhaps I will add the Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon plus. These series should look everyone.
If we talk about the historical series. That I would add Turn.
But, alas, in this short list only those series that are still coming out or already finished. In another case, this list will be longer than a kilometer.
It’s quite difficult to choose only one show as my favourite. I have a few on my mind: Black Mirror, Vikings, GoT, Sherlock and I could keep going.
I’ve watched Stranger Things and really enjoyed it, it’s the main reason behind my Netflix subscription. I’m also watching Mindhunter at the moment and find it good so far.
American Gods didn’t really pick my interest and wasn’t to my taste, after watching 3 episodes I gave up. The Crown is on my to watch list, just need to find a way to fold space-time to watch it all.
I’d also add Fargo, Billions, House of Cards, Ozark, The Expanse and plenty more to this list.
South Park is also getting better with its latest seasons.
I would add to the list Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Narcos, Suits and White Collar.
And of course House of Cards, but I'm afraid that next season without Kevin Spacey will be total crap.
My favorite series is House of Cards, I've watched three episodes of "Stranger Things" but I don't like it. I would like add of this list: "House of Cards", "Narcos", "Suits".
