Stranger Things, Netflix

Based in early ‘80s Indiana, Stranger Things revolves around the disappearance of a 12-year-old boy and the local missions to find him. His mother and the police take two separate paths, and before long, his friends join in with the help of a local psychic. Cover-ups soon emerge (of course government related), and the adventure begins. With a classic Stephen King/John Carpenter/Steven Spielberg vibe and a perfect synth soundtrack to match, Stranger Things is Netflix at its best.

Incorporated, SYFY

Executive Producers Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s future-tech drama examines the twisted society of Earth 2074, a planet racked by manmade crisis and climate change disaster. Government isn’t what it used to be, so corporations have stepped up to the plate, choosing to control some areas and leaving others nearly lawless. To save the love of his life, one ambitious young exec decides to thwart the system, and wouldn’t you know it, mass chaos ensues.

3%, Netflix

Set in a bleak future where individuals must choose between a “good side” of the world (Offshore) and a “bad side” (Inland), 3% begs the question what defines each of the two qualities—is it riches and selfish pride or poverty and free humility? Directed by Daina Giannecchini, renowned Brazlian cinematographer of City of God, 3%’s 8-episode first season was just released by Netflix, so act quickly and catch it before any more spoilers get loose.

Westworld Finale, HBO

HBO’s Westworld has officially pulled away from the streaming pack to become 2016’s most talked about original series. Under the command of Executive Producer JJ Abrams, the mind-bending tech drama has posted the biggest first season in HBO history, but like all good things, it must come to an end—at least for the season. Spoilers are cruel, especially when they involve Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, vicious rich people and A.I. with emotions, so let’s leave it at that.
