We’ve spent the last month recommending plenty of great shows and movies to stream online, but what have the members of the Decider enjoyed in these last few months? We’d like to share that with you, too — and tell you where to stream them, of course.

I spent the summer catching up with the rest of the world and plowing through the magnificent and wry House Of Cards. I actually took a small break after Season 1 in July—call it an All-Star Break—to allow myself a chance to catch my breath and reflect on Frank’s knuckle-raps, Claire’s steely, hint-of-a-smile gaze, and what Freddy’s ribs might taste like. Then I jumped in to Season 2.

So intense and all-consuming was House Of Cards that I only vaguely recall streaming The Muppet Movie with my young nieces, who were overcome with a severe case of the giggles when presented with the sight of Kermit the Frog breezing along a country road on his bicycle—a summer image if ever there was one. —Conrad Doucette

I decided to watch Broadcast News after my colleague, Tyler Coates, wouldn’t shut up about it, and now I can’t shut up about how good it is. It’s smart, funny, and emotionally devastating in the best possible way.

I love Project Runway, but I never latched on to its culinary cousin, Top Chef, until I saw that all 13 seasons were on Hulu Plus. Now, whenever I’m at a loss for what to watch, I just tune in to a random season and stare longingly at the amazing food on display.

Starz’s Outlander has been a perfect end-of-summer treat. There’s romance, mystery, magic and a very handsome Scotsman. —Meghan O’Keefe

This summer I literally fell head over Little Sebastian for Parks and Recreation. I was skeptical to begin the binge on seasons 2 – 6 after hearing it was similar to the show The Office, which I have mixed feelings about. But after finding myself saying “treat yo self” far too often for someone who hadn’t seen the show, I decided it was time. The series has since become one of my all time favorites. The mismatched personalities of the oddball outcasts that make up the Pawnee Parks Department brought a much needed sense of goofiness back into my days, and Amy Poehler’s delightfully dorky, weird, energetic, and straight-up hilarious character Leslie Knope made my dog days of summer cheerier than Chris Traeger after a wheatgrass shot. Only downside: I craved waffles and whipped cream far too often for someone who had hopes of getting into a bikini. —Terri Ciccone

This summer I watched a shit ton of crime shows, some of them against my will. Not only did I have to binge-watch all four seasons of The Killing in a week — think about that — but I also had to familiarize myself with Netflix’s Happy Valley, which turned out to be totally awesome. (The Killing, not so much. I remember sinking into a bit of a depression after I finished that series.)

On top of that, I’ve been following the chronicles of Chief Kevin Garvey as played by the unofficial sexiest man alive, Justin Theroux, on The Leftovers. I will certainly have more to say on that show later on. But as if that wasn’t enough, I also revisited Seasons Four and Five of one of my all-time faves, The Wire, just because. Needless to say, it was a summer of crime for me. —Olivia Armstrong

The most amazing thing I streamed this summer was Michael Apted’s Up Series. Beginning in 1964, the documentary series follows a group of British residents from the age of seven onward — checking in with them every seven years though the age of 56. The subjects come from vast backgrounds — some are upper class with educational advantages, and others are working class and less privileged. It’s fascinating to watch how quickly life can change in seven-year spans, but also how unpredictable every person’s journey actually is. As most of the subjects start their lives around London, they end up in various places — from Australia to Wisconsin. —Tyler Coates
