I probably can't add much because I haven't watched many shows in the recent years. I recently watched about half a season of Dexter, but haven't continued it for over a month now. It's nearly impossible to keep my attention anymore, so anthologies are about all I can stick with these days. I used to watch a couple shows in college, like Oz and Scrubs. I was shamefully addicted to Scrubs for at least four years. I think there was a whole semester where I spoke only in quoted lines from that show (yes, I'm old).

I recently watched a great anthology called Black Mirror that I think I mentioned somewhere on BrianBerta's blog. It's definitely worth checking out. Right now there are only thirteen episodes, but Netflix bought the rights and is supposed to be releasing a new season this October. It has a bit of a dystopian tone based on issues that might arise from constantly advancing technology. It's dark, but not really horror. Some of it is a bit funny, but only on the surface. I also watch The Twilight Zone a lot.

I've been considering watching Stranger Things. My brother keeps telling me it's good, but I'm just reluctant to start anything that plays out in a series.

Almost forgot: I did fall in love with the first season of American Horror Story, but didn't really watch it much after that. I watched part of the others but never got hooked like I did with the first one.
