So you wanna spend the day vegging out on the couch and binge watching you're favorite shows? Maybe you are looking for new shows to watch that are worth watching? Here are a few that I have watched faithfully and I can't wait for the newest seasons to come out!
#1. Travelers- Hundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century, while attempting to save humanity from a terrible future.
My Thoughts... I am not much of a science fiction buff, but this one I like, it is not one of those unrealistic shows, Its more based on time travel. The characters are very likable. Eric MacCormack is from the famous Will & Grace. There are already 2 seasons out on Netflix.
Creator: Brad Wright
Cast: Eric McCormack, MacKenzie Porter, Nesta Cooper, Jared Paul Abrahamson, Reilly Dolman, Patrick Gilmore.
Genres: Series, Crime Drama, Science Fiction, Action
#2. Stranger Things- This thrilling Netflix original drama stars Golden Globe-winning actress Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, who lives in a small Indiana town in 1983 -- inspired by a time when tales of science fiction captivated audiences. When Joyce's 12-year-old son, Will, goes missing, she launches a terrifying investigation into his disappearance with local authorities. As they search for answers, they unravel a series of extraordinary mysteries involving secret government experiments, unnerving supernatural forces, and a very unusual little girl.
My thoughts.... It took a few episodes in before I really got hooked. Its worth getting past the old 70's ish feel. Though very unrealistic, it still grabs you and gets you routing for the good guys and that strange little girl named Thirteen. There are 2 seasons out right now.
Creator: The Duffer Brothers
Cast: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo
Genre: Series, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Drama
#3. The Ranch- Ashton Kutcher stars in this Netflix-original sitcom as Colt, who returns home to his family's ranch in Colorado after his semi-pro football career ends in failure. Colt plans to run the ranching business with his older brother, Rooster, and his father, Beau (Sam Elliott), whom he hasn't seen in 15 years. In addition to proving himself to his father and navigating family dynamics, Colt is torn between his current girlfriend and his high school sweetheart, Abby (Elisha Cuthbert), when she expresses doubts about her fiance.
My Thoughts.... If you are like me and love Ashton Kutcher, You will find this one pretty great. Some moments are a little off beat, but all together it works with this cast. Being that it is a NetFlix original, they do not have a filter for language, so if you are not a fan of the F bomb, I do not recommend this one for you. There are currently 3 seasons out as of right now. PS I love the opening theme song too!
Creators: Don Reo, Jim Patterson
Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Sam Elliott, Debra Winger, Elisha Cuthbert, Kelli Goss, Danny Masterson
Genre: Series, Comedy,Drama
#4. Ozark- Created by Bill Dubuque ("The Accountant," "The Judge"), this drama series stars Jason Bateman as Marty Byrde, a financial planner who relocates his family from Chicago to a summer resort community in the Ozarks. With wife Wendy and their two kids in tow, Marty is on the move after a money-laundering scheme goes wrong, forcing him to pay off a substantial debt to a Mexican drug lord in order to keep his family safe. While the Byrde's fate hangs in the balance, the dire circumstances force the fractured family to reconnect. My Thoughts... I Love this show! It really keeps you on your toes, waiting to see what will happen next, Its a roller coaster of emotions with all of the characters, one episode you hate them, the next you love them. I can NOT wait for the next season of this to come out! It was confirmed in August 2017 that the second run will consist of 10 episodes.
An exact release date has not yet been confirmed by showrunners.
Season one dropped on the streaming giant in July 2017 so it is possible that show runners will aim for a July 2018 release for the second run.

Genre: Series, Crime, Drama
#5. Glitch- A police officer in a small country town finds his life turned upside down when six recently deceased residents return from the dead in perfect health.
My Thoughts... Very interesting idea for a show. I really like the cast. It is not one of those shows where it is highly predictable, there are 2 seasons out, and I am still not so convinced as to who is the bad guy here. I will definitely be watching season 3!
