If you’re like me, the “Stranger Things” craze has become a little overwhelming, especially when you consider the fact that I never got around to watching season 3. I’ll get to it, but the investment of fortitude and consumption vs the amount of mental capacity and time I actually have has put the potential binge on the back burner.
The reality is, there is just too much all the time it can become overwhelming, so you rewatch “Schitt’s Creek” for the 1000th time. Some of us would rather binge things that AREN’T the talk of the town. Not to be contrarian, but rather to try to tackle as many series as possible without really needing to participate in the constant discourse about one, singular show. There’s nothing inherently wrong with either choice, either. I just want to be able to offer up some easier, lesser know and often times more consumable offerings.

So here are some recommendations for some series that are available on a number of platforms. Of course, these are only ones that I have watched, and I can say with absolute certainty that my sample size of binged series is rather limited compared to the rest of many. But here is what I HAVE watched and highly recommend. And keep in mind, these are television series that are ONLY available on streaming. No films will be included on the list.
