Personal Review
I’ve watched all of these shows and they are all very captivating and entertaining. My top pick based upon my personal opinion would be “Reacher” with its intriguing mystery throughout all the seasons. I highly suggest this show, even though “Stranger Things” is releasing a new season five this year! Get ready to start watching now so you can follow along. Not to mention “Resident Alien” is a close second. I’m still watching this particular show and it’s been great so far. Unfortunately, spring break is only long enough to watch one of these, so choose wisely!
