Have seen only S1 so far. 

 

Kingdom is possibly the best zombie show by far. 

 

Sorry, I meant S2 of Black Summer comes out this year. There's only been one so far :|

Started Narcos S2 yesterday. Good sh*t. 

 

Narcos:Mexico is even better, takes the series to a whole new level.  I liked it even better than the first 2-3 seasons.

 

BTW, watched the below TV shows (both on Netflix), both are quite good :

1. Unbelievable : Netflix was showing this as some hidden gem or something like that.  The theme of the show is quite disturbing, but the performances and the narration are really well done.  

2. People vs OJ Simpson : While the show is a dramatized version of the actual trial of OJ Simpson (many of the clips from the real trial is still available on youtube), and you know how its gonna end, it still is an interesting watch.  Cuba gooding Jr. is impressive as OJ, david schwimmer is ok, rest of the characters are selected well too.  The resemblance to the actual characters is uncanny !

+1 for this show.

Loved watching it. Was really surprised by serious David Schwimmer but he did very well. Its also interesting that the story also functions as an origin to the Kardashians of today.

Yeah, even I didn't know the Kardashians became famous due to this trial .... I still didn't get why did ito agree to video cameras in courtroom to record the whole thing !!

1. Umbrella Academy - Amazing show and Season 2 is even better
2. Narcos - It's again a really amazing show. 
3. Black Mirror - One of my favorites. Anthology so every episode follows a different story. The first episode of season 1 is totally different in tone from the rest of the show so don't judge the show based on it. 
4. Boys - There are pacing issues but I really love the vibe of the show. Extremely cynical plot and all the actors are amazing. 
 
Haven't watched the other two so don't know. 
Wow there are people that haven't seen Stranger Things.

Watch Stranger Things, its good fun and really well made series, especially if you are not looking for slow paced series. Sure a bit childish but awesome show nonetheless.

I don't know how to order these so I'm going to ask you: what are you in the mood for right now? 

 

Black Mirror - Sci Fi (near future), each episode standalone, mostly looks at misuse of technology, most episodes can be depressing. 

 

Narcos - Amazing Thriller set in real world. Presented really well. 90% of the show is in Spanish, so lots of reading subtitles. (Just letting you know in case you dont like that)

 

Stranger Things - Fantasy-esq Thriller, Lot of American 80's nostalgia. Great acting, great characters, story. Centers around 5 kids, 1 of whom goes missing. 

 

Umbrella Academy - Weird quirky superhero family and time-wimey stuff. Most of it centers on family dynamics using superheroes as a backdrop. I would say this is the most "drama-filled" out of all the choices here, but isn't bad. Fun show. I only really liked one character.

 

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - Teen show. Mix of comedy and horror and drama. Some teen angst. This one is very different from the rest of shows here.

Only seen 5 episodes then moved on. 

 

Boys - not seen

 

 

Personally I would put Umbrella and Sabrina a notch below the others in terms of quality.

Black Mirror

Narcos

 

..... temper your expectations a bit

 

Boys

 

..... temper your expectations further

 

Stranger Things

 

..... it's all downhill from here (I couldn't finish either of these)

 

Umbrella Academy

Sabrina

I think for you The Boys or Narcos will be perfect.

 

Umbrella Academy and Strange Things are good too but kids-teen type. Not for everyone I guess. Personally I enjoyed Umbrella Academy a lot. Shows gets going right away. Stranger Things - Eleven and Nancy bring the show down. The other kids and Jim were solid. 

 

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - season 2 is good. Teen stuff otherwise. 

 

Black Mirror is depressing shite but good if you are into it.
