Not sure if this is something to be proud of, but 2016 was a year in which I followed several TV shows, most of which were amazing. I also had to drop some because of time constrains.
One thing is certain, it was really easy to select my favorite shows of 2016. GOT is an obvious choice and it has been for the last 4 years (I got late into the bandwagon). The two huge surprises were the first seasons of Stranger Things and Westworld.

Amazing Shows of 2016
Game of Thrones (HBO)
Well, if you don't know about GOT you are probably not reading this anyways
Stranger Things (Netflix)
If you haven’t watched Stranger Things on Netflix yet, you really should. I finished all the 8 episodes in less than 2 days and was completely addicted to the show by the end of it. The storytelling is perfect, there's an addictive mystery and the storylines are concise, inter-related and interesting. And above it all, the show is full of nostalgia as it takes place in 1983. Therefore there are hundreds of 1980's pop culture references. To name a few: Aliens (1986), Jaws (1975) and The Empire Strikes Back (1980). But mostly, the show is a mix of The Goonies (1985) with ET (1982) and Signs (2002). The directing and writing mix Stephen King and Steven Spielberg in an original and entertaining way. I can't imagine they can top it or even maintain it with season 2. But hope dies last...
Westworld (HBO)
WestWorld is a brilliant, mysterious and captivating show. 10-ish hours of some of the best things you will watch on TV these days. The cast, the acting, the scenarios and most importantly the masterfully storytelling were the ingredients to make the show of the year.Stranger Things (Netflix)
