This list is not necessarily my favorite new releases of the year. Instead, it is the best of the content I watched since this time last year. In addition, this list is in alphabetical order because agonizing over a precise order would take out all the fun:
1. Girls: Season 4 (HBO Now)
2. The Good Wife: Season 6 (Amazon Prime)
3. How to Get Away with Murder: Season 1 (Netflix)
4. Last Week Tonight With John Oliver: Seasons 1 and 2 (HBO Now)
5. The Leftovers: Seasons 1 and 2 (HBO Now)
6. Narcos: Season 1 (Netflix)
7. Orange Is the New Black: Season 3 (Netflix)
8. Sense 8: Season 1 (Netflix)
9. Suits: Season 4 (Amazon Prime)
10. The Knick: Season 1 (HBO Now)
I missed “Ex Machina” in the theaters, but really enjoyed catching up with it on Amazon Prime. Highly recommended: “A programmer is invited by his employer, an eccentric billionaire, to administer the Turing test to an android with artificial intelligence.”
