Every year I love the opportunity to formally ask my friends what they’re watching. Streaming sites have completely changed the landscape with Netflix sometimes adding 3-7 new seasons a week and bingeing shows places everyone on a different timetable of when they’re watching an episode. The water-cooler shows have faded away (especially with no Game of Thrones this year) but that doesn’t mean there weren’t a great number of shows that shocked and inspired us. Read on as my friends from different backgrounds and perspectives look back at what we watched this year.
