Hi Friends! We’re gonna lighten it up this week & get into some pop culture…TV shows. It’s cold outside…Let’s Netflix & chill. I’ll get serious again next week when I dig deep on my prophylactic mastectomy and reconstruction journey.
What makes me qualified to even write this post? Obviously this is just my opinion for fun….but I can tell you that having had a mastectomy, I have watched A LOT of TV lately. SO….you can say that maybe I’ve been exposed to more than most?? I also have just about every channel: Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Prime, HBO/MAX, Peacock, Paramount+….
And, let’s just face it….there is a lot of good material on TV. However, how many times have you wanted to watch something but not been able to find something good?
Anyway, here goes….
Top 10 Right Now
- The Rivals (Hulu) may not be a popular choice. However, it was just renewed for Season 2. This news made me immensely happy!! It is set in the British country-side and is worth watching for the beautiful scenery, eye-candy cast, and fashion. It’s much like a soap opera with affairs and lots of sex. Give it 2 episodes. The characters will start to grow on you!
- Disclaimer (Apple TV+) is a thriller and it really did surprise me at the end! The sex is gratuitous so hang in there…there is a good story to go with it. It’s also a star-studded cast: Cate Blanchett and Sasha Baron Cohen
- Landman (Paramount+) has Billy Bob Thronton, Jon Hamm and Demi Moore. I just wanted to see what Moore looks like these days but was quickly drawn in. Season 1 is streaming now w/ an episode released every Saturday.
- Blackbird (Apple TV+) is a American crime story based on true events. I binged this one….it got me!! Now viewers are begging for a Season 2!!
- Shrinking (Apple TV+) is really feel-good! We all have problems…Jason Segel along w/ Harrison Ford are psychiatrists and are incredibly fun.
- Enlightened (HBO) stars Laura Dern. Dern won a Golden Globe award for best actress for this series. It’s a comedy about a woman on the verge of a nervous breakthrough. It’s super funny.
- Party Down (Starz) is a comedy staring Adam Scott that is outrageously funny.
- The Keepers (Netflix) blew my mind! This is a true crime docu-series about a nun who was murder by a priest. The Catholic church then covered it up.
- I Think You Should You Leave (Netflix) with Tim Robinson. This one is slap-stick laugh out loud funny!! Some of it is so ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh and you won’t be able to stop! It is sketch comedy at it’s best.
- Euphoria (HBO) starring Zendaya who plays an addict. This is a drama about high school kids going through it all….this isn’t Cobra Kai or Outer Banks. It is serious, serious content not for the faint of heart.
**Note: I consider these shows to be Best of All Times, so if you haven’t watched them, give it go!
Best of All Times
- Game of Thrones
- Shameless
- Seinfeld
- Curb Your Enthusiasm
- Breaking Bad
- The Office
- Schitt’s Creek (my personal fav!)
- Freaks and Geeks–how many stars can see in the pic below?
Bonus: My Most Anticipated Shows of 2025
- White Lotus, Season 3, Feb 16
- A Knight of Seven Kingdoms (Game of Thrones prequel), TBD
- Your Friends and Neighbors (new, starring Jon Hamm!), April
- Handmaid’s Tail, final season!, Spring
- Squid Games (I did not personally watch this but seems like everyone is), Out NOW
- Traitors (On Now! & in the 3rd season) I haven’t watched this but plan to! It seems like it will fulfill all needs for mindless TV. It is a reality show with a stacked cast! It has 4 Housewives on it + Many Others.
What are your favorite shows? Please respond…I’m always on the lookout for the next best!
