Red Oaks, Amazon Prime's wonderful coming-of-age series, is just so much damn fun. It will make you nostalgic for those fleeting years between childhood and the real world where bad decisions were imminent and possibilities seemed endless.

When I hear the term "smoldering chemistry," I think of Sarah Paulson and Sterling K. Brown on The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

![Top 16 Binge ATLANTA, (from left): Donald Glover, Keith Standfield, ‘The Streisand Effect’, (Season 1, ep. 104,](https://cdn.statically.io/img/decider.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/atlanta.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1024)
"The characters of Atlanta are several things -- detailed, impulsive, often desperate -- but more than anything else, they feel believable. Atlanta brings to the screen a better scripted version of a recognizable real life, something that is struggling and messy while simultaneously being ridiculous and beautiful."

The Duffer Brothers' Netflix series is the textbook example of the phrase "just one more episode." An homage to the halcyon days of '80s cinema while adding their own unique twists to the genre, Stranger Things took social media by storm on its way to becoming one of the most popular shows of 2016.

Last month, I extolled the theatrical virtues of leading lady Alia Shawkat, but the entire cast of Search Party delivered A + performances in this captivating series that delighted and enthralled from minute one.
