When I was home for six weeks recovering, I had lots of time (too much?) to watch TV. Here are some shows I discovered and LOVED! Maybe you'll find a gem here for you, too!
This is my favorite of the bunch. However, I don't love the trailer and it doesn't do the show justice. I seriously cannot express my love of this show enough. My daughter discovered it and she is the target age...not me! But I just love the strong female characters and I so love the fact that the head of Scarlet Magazine (JAN!!! From The Office!) is NICE and SUPPORTIVE...no boss from hell here! A boss I'd want my own daughter to have. Lots of layers and depth to this show. Three seasons (10 episodes each) have me waiting impatiently for a fourth. On ABC Family. I watched on Freeform on my iPad.
From Freeform: A glimpse into the outrageous lives of Jane, Kat and Sutton, who are working at the nation's top women's magazine, Scarlet, while navigating their careers, identities and individual voices. This next generation of unapologetically fierce working women is primed to take on the world and smash the patriarchy — one selfie at a time.
Everyone seems to have watched this! On Lifetime but streamed on Netflix a few months later. From Lifetime: Starring Penn Badgley, “YOU” is a 21st century love story that asks, “What would you do for love?” When a brilliant bookstore manager crosses paths with an aspiring writer, his answer becomes clear: anything. Using the internet and social media as his tools to gather the most intimate of details and get close to her, a charming and awkward crush quickly becomes obsession as he quietly and strategically removes every obstacle – and person – in his way. The series also stars Elizabeth Lail, Luca Padovan, Zach Cherry, and Shay Mitchell, with a special guest appearance by John Stamos. Season 2 will only stream on Netflix.
From Netflix: Jen's husband recently died in a hit-and-run, and the sardonic widow is determined to solve the crime. Optimistic free spirit Judy has recently suffered a tragic loss of her own. The ladies meet at a support group and, despite their polar-opposite personalities, become unlikely friends. A dark comedy.
From Hulu: From Executive Producers Lorne Michaels and Elizabeth Banks comes Shrill, a comedy series starring Aidy Bryant (Saturday Night Live) as Annie, a fat young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body. Annie is trying to start her career while juggling bad boyfriends, a sick parent, and a perfectionist boss.
A kinder, gentler reality show! To be honest, this is the only thing my hair salon/nail place has playing so I watch it when I'm there and really enjoy it. I have watched a few on Netflix and it is strangely calming for me. I think I've been watching the oldest episodes. I just love the way it's shot and the spirit of the show.
Would love some recommendations if you have them!
Happy watching and an even HAPPIER SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
