Shows you just discovered?
So, either via streaming, on demand, current airing after several seasons, etc. what shows have you just discovered and really like?
I just discovered or re-discovered as I saw first ep, but didn’t stick with for some reason, but...Happy Endings on Hulu.
I knew Adam Pally from Mindy Project, but really funny as the gay guy. The whole ensemble is great together. Knew most, but this is a well done, well written show. Why the hell was it cancelled?
So, what have you just found and really enjoying?

amazon prime has a lot of good old shows, I’ve been checking out the Danny Thomas show and That Girl, for some good old school laughs...

I've been watching Last Man Standing via syndication and only have a few episodes remaining from season 6.
I discovered it while on vacation (in the hotel in the evening and was watching tv before going to sleep)
I'm usually terrible at judging comedies during their original run. So I always end up watching them when they have several seasons already or when they have ended.

Watched five seasons of Brooklyn 99 on Hulu this summer and will watch the new season in real time.

I also just watched all of B99. But I'd seen a lot of it previously.
Just watched two seasons of Letterkenny on Hulu and loved it.

Offspring - Netflix. It quickly became a fave to watch.
Heartland - Netflix. Again, a show I would have not discovered and kept up with were it not for Netflix.
ETA: Oops, I misunderstood the point of the thread being to highlight shows that you only just now discovered on demand/streaming, not ones discovered years ago on streaming that you keep up with. Sorry about that.

Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'm bingeing thru the seasons and can't believe I've missed this... for 13 seasons!

Oh man, what a treat for you! I'd be curious about your take as you continue through it, because the characters change A LOT over the course of the show. There were extended breaks between seasons, and pretty short seasons, which I would think would make those character trait changes even more apparent. I still love the show, but Dennis and Charlie especially are very different characters. IMO, it also took a little while for the show to figure out how to best include Danny Devito. I did not care for his inclusion in the cast at first.

However, my late mother was in the hospital recovering from surgery last Thanksgiving and one of the cable stations was running a marathon. Sitting in her room while she slept all day, I watched about 9 episodes and found it good light entertainment. Of course, when I decided to look it up on streaming, it was gone from Netflix and my library didn't have the DVDs. So, I, too, have been watching from the beginning in syndication.

Fresh Off The Boat. I don't know how Constance Wu hasn't been nominated for an Emmy.

^^ This is on my radar. I love Bill Burr and his last show in Detroit had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

The Shield. When it was new I always thought it was just another murder of the week cop show. With L&O being in its prime back then, I never thought much about it. Boy was I wrong, lol. Bout half way through season 2; trying to watch 2 ep a night.

It drops a bit midway, IMO. But it has one of the all time best finales.

My father loved "Tool Time" (never called it "Home Improvement") and so I saw a good bit of it just going over to my parents' house for dinner. I never bothered with LMS in it's network run.
However, my late mother was in the hospital recovering from surgery last Thanksgiving and one of the cable stations was running a marathon. Sitting in her room while she slept all day, I watched about 9 episodes and found it good light entertainment. Of course, when I decided to look it up on streaming, it was gone from Netflix and my library didn't have the DVDs. So, I, too, have been watching from the beginning in syndication.

One thing I only recently noticed (while watching the season five episodes) - CMT cuts off the "credits" scene.
WGN America shows the whole episode.

Just in the last month I finally watched Breaking Bad. Binge-watched it and then started Better Call Saul and already got up on it. ^_^
I plan to check out The Expanse and The Wire at some point when I can get time after catching back up on all the weeklies I watch.

This show. I never was into Andy Samberg, but after watching Popstar a while back, an episode of Broklyn 99 came on. Either I was in the mood or just opened up to him, but I've had a blast watching this show. Terry Crews really adds to the fun. And I do like the cast overall.
