Outer Banks
Teen dramas are kind of our thing. So when a new one is released, we jump on it. Outer Banks is like a sunnier Riverdale. Based around a modern day treasure hunt, it’s kind of a wild concept, but honestly we’re here for it. There’s romance, murder, and beautiful people in swimwear, plus there’s LOTS of drama. Sign us up- we’re moving here immediately. Also, the last 5 eps are insane- so stick with it. We’re hoping for season 2.
Hollywood
Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story etc brings us this fun series about post-WWII Hollywood. Note, it’s definitely R-rated if you’re wanting to watch with company. But if you’ve liked his previous shows, it’s worth a watch. There’s stars! There’s beautiful costumes! Plus, it’s a unique twist on the typical Hollywood story.
Normal People
The show everyone’s been talking about – for good reason. Find it on iPlayer or Hulu for a sexy/sad rollercoaster that you can binge in 1 night, if you’re super ambitious about it… The episodes are only 30 mins long, and it’s a relatable tale of first love. We would NOT recommend this if you’ve had a recent breakup, or if you’re at home watching with the fam.. pls skip to next on the list.
Desperate Housewives
Okay, we love a throwback as much as everyone else. If you’ve not seen it, now’s the perfect time to catch up on all 8 seasons of the twisty tale of seemingly perfect lives in suburbia. And if you HAVE seen it, it might just be time for a rewatch bbys. Did we already mention we love drama…?
Never Have I Ever
We <3 Mindy Kaling, who you’ll already know & love from The Mindy Show & The Office! She created this heartwarming sit-com about a young teenage girl trying to make her way through high-school, navigating romance, friendship and her home life. Also, this was FILMED on the same set as Desperate Housewives. We love it when things come together.
