I watched:

Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix) - I binged through 3 more episodes.

SPOILERS!

"The Case of the Lighthouse Leapers" - The gang are hired by a 
lighthouse ghost to figure out why people keep committing suicide at the 
lighthouse causing the lighthouse to have new ghosts.  The original 
ghost wants the new ghosts gone!  But no one cares about their stupid 
cases of the week!  Meanwhile the "Night Nurse" (Ruth Connell from 
Supernatural) tracks the boys down and tries to force them back to the 
afterlife, but they won't go without a fight. To my surprise Jayden (the 
muscle of the team) was able to defeat her in a fight using one of the 
magical items in his magic bag.  Or at least temporarily get rid of her.


"The Case of the Two Dead Dragons"  - "They're off on another stupid 
case."  The case of the week involves solving the murder of two teenage 
jocks.  This show about two ghosts solving mysteries would be better if 
they didn't waste time solving mysteries.  The side story involved their 
landlord (who I haven't bothered to mention before now but is a regular 
on the show) meets her secret admirer and things don't go very well.
Oh, and the demon is still hanging around trying to repossess Crystal.

"The Case of the Creeping Forest" The Witch, The Cat King, The Demon, 
and The Night Nurse all get to shine without a stupid case of the week 
getting in the way.  This was probably the best episode yet.  OK, so 
technically there was a case of the week, but it was a fake case set up 
by the Witch, so it doesn't count.  Huge cliffhanger ending.  Gur Avtug
