You better watch yo-self, bitches

Hello friends in TV land! I feel like every post I make is going to unfortunately start with "Apologies for the delay," so get used to it

Apologies for the delay! I could lie and say it's been a busy few weeks, but in reality I'm just lazy and have prioritized sleeping and watching TV over writing about it. Plus, I don't really know if anyone reads this so I don't think I'm disappointing that many people..

For those who actually do follow this site, it seems it's most useful in helping decide what you're going to watch next.  To account for that, I've added a new section called "What you should watch."  Clever title, right?  In addition to the Reviews section, this will be a shortlist of shows I'd recommend watching based on your mood.  Go check it out here next time you're scrolling for hours trying to figure out what to watch.

And now, onto what I've been watching since my last post:

NEW VIEWING (listed in order of enjoyment)

  • TRANSPARENT (4 seasons, Amazon): This show is fantastic. You should watch all of it immediately.  It focuses on Mort/Maura (Jeffrey Tambor) as a trans-gender woman coming out to her family and navigating life as a trans parent. HA! Get it? TRANS-PARENT! Read more
  • GRACE AND FRANKIE (Season 4, Netflix): The most recent season is just as good as the first three, and if you haven't watched of this then you're in for a nice binge. Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are a comedic duo for the ages, the sharp humor will catch you off guard 
  • RITA (Season 4, Netflix): If you haven't heard of this show, I wouldn't be surprised. A badass teacher who only cares about helping her students, regardless of the rules. The only life she can't help is her own...because she's self destructive. It's a Danish show so get ready for subtitles, but so worth it
  • TRAVELERS (Season 1 - half of season 2, Netflix): I never had any interest in watching this show whenever it came up on Netflix. Possibly because I didn't like the title art and didn't know what the show was about. Interesting concept set in present day, but time "travelers" who are sent back in time to try and prevent the events that led to humanity's demise. Think 12 monkeys but when you go back in time it transports your consciousness into the body of someone in the 21st century and you take over their life. I binge watched the first season in a day!
  • QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY (Season 1, Netflix): This show has the power to bring this country back together. In this reboot, the Fab 5 tours the southern US making over men and breaking down barriers and stereotypes
  • THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE (Season 1, Amazon): This show is interesting and overall very good, but I'm having a hard time getting really into it
  • ALTERED CARBON (2 episodes, Netflix): What if you could live forever by uploading your consciousness into a new body? This show is confusing, but decent.  The CGI is pretty ridiculous and there's a lot of nudity especially by that evil, hot, young Republican dude from House of Cards.
