Need a new show. Here's what I hear is very good now:

A) The Night Of (HBO)

B) Stranger Things (Netflix)

C) Mr. Robot (Season 2; USA) -- this one I did see Season 1 and it was awesome.

Thanks, Arch. Good reasoning there.

But quality-wise, any thoughts on this list (of what you've seen, of course) ?

stranger things

I vote option D.) Vice Principals.

If you liked East Bound and Down then this is definitely a must watch.

Vice Principals is garbage compared to EbD. Although I still think it's pretty funny, I'd rather watch the night of. So far, so good.

Never heard of the other show.

That's a good reminder, Mxs. I love Danny McBride! And if memory serves, isn't Walton Goggins on that show too? Who is fukkin amazing as Boyd Crowder in Justified.

I've been watching all three, need to still finish stranger things. The Night Of is my favorite by far. Not a big fan of mr.robot this season so far

Real handicappers and professionals are looking at overnight lines amd preseason NFL games coming up this week

You had me until that part, JJ. Anyone trying to make money on preseason NFL should turn in their "real handicapper" card and never bet again.

The most recent episode picks it up.

[GUMMO77]

I don't understand the Strange Things phenomenon. I've seen the first three episodes and it was a struggle to say awake. Not to mention Winona Ryder's over-acting is distracting.

The Night is a great show. A typical HBO slow burn. After the second episode, it really takes off.

None tv is a waste

Threw mine out

Time is money

[gauchojake]

eps 4-8 of Stranger Things made the series pretty satisfying and worth watching. I just cranked through them last night after stalling out in ep 3.

Mr Robot is probably the only show other than GoT that I find myself looking forward to every week.

Haven't started the first one so will probably binge it when the season ends.

[Coach Potato]

binge watched all of stranger things on a Saturday. it's an incredible show n any 80's kid will love cuz it's very spielberg-esque except for adults

Threes Company reruns are always worth a laugh.

If you grew up in the 80's this show will resonate for sure. Even the intro to the show is reminiscent of shows like Amazing Stories or Tales From The Dark Side.

What I thought was pretty great was that although the film makers clearly borrowed a lot, it felt like more of an homage than a rip off.

[blackHIPPY]

all 3 are good choices
stranger things is prolly my fav of what you got listed

[GUMMO77]

Guess I need to watch more episodes of Stranger Things.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

The Night of is my favorite show right now.

The other two are good too though. I binge watched Stranger Things and watched the whole season over a weekend.

[Capybara]

Update:

So I went with B) first, Stranger Things. LOVE IT! I've seen 5 eps now out of the 8 and I'm sad that it will all be over so soon. (Side note: As much as I love "prestige TV," I miss the days of getting into shows that had 20-25 eps in a season.)

Anyway, awesome show, so well done... as others have mentioned, very evocative of 80s sci-fi or horror movies by folks like Spielberg or Tobe Hooper or Joe Dante... but beyond that, just a cool story with great mystery in it and interesting characters. The child actor who plays the girl is fantastic. So much emoting without even saying much.

Anyway, no spoilers please... although I'll be done with the damn thing in a couple more days probably.

[GUMMO77]

The Night Of and it isn't even close.

[blap10]

Mr. Robot

[Capybara]

Update #2:

Finished Stranger Things: Awesome. The girl actress is a revelation, so talented.

Just started The Night Of tonight! Loved the first ep!! Totally sucked in. Has a very The Wire vibe also, probably because Richard Price produces and writes and he worked with David Simon some on The Wire and wrote or directed some Wire eps. Pumped to watch the rest!
