10 TV Shows I’m Watching Right Now
I’ve got to admit, I love a good Netflix binge. But sometimes it can be so hard to jump into a show when you don’t if it’s any good. There are some shows that I’m obsessed with, and that all have either seasons out now, came out recently, or are about to come out again in the next few months.
Better Things: Oh man, this show really gets me! Pamela Adlon is the creator and it’s essentially a fictional version of her life story as a single parent raising three teenage daughters on her own. It’s hilarious, and sometimes emotional and completely reminds me of my childhood growing up with just my mom and sister. So funny. So real. So GOOD. P.S. it streams on Hulu.
American Horror Story: I look forward to AHS every season, and this Coven/Murder House cross-over season is the best I’ve seen in a while. Coven was my all-time favorite season, so I’m SUPER excited for everything happening this season.
Marvelous Mrs Maisel: So. much. yes. THIS SHOW. I can’t tell you enough how perfect this show is. First off, created + written by the creator of Gilmore Girls (which I love!). It’s set in the 50’s and the wardrobes are phenomenal. And it’s freakin’ hilarious. The Copa Cabana scene with the dancers and band is my fave. Absolute best show out right now.
Shameless: I can never get enough Shameless, and with a few of the main actors leaving I’m really intrigued this season to see how things shift. I’m loving how this season it’s showing the characters doing well for once in their lives…but you know it’s all about to come crashing down because it has to.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Okay, I was really excited about this one and I love Kiernan Shipka in Mad Men, so I was excited to see her take the lead on this one. Aaaaand it did not disappoint! It’s the perfect mix of scary, funny, and feminist. I grew up watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch and WOW it’s nothing like that show. It’s more like its older, darker cousin, which I think is perfect. It’s made by the same creators of Riverdale. I’ve got to admit, I’m not a fan of Riverdale. I love how beautiful is it, but as much as I tried to get into it I still can’t finish the first season. Sabrina on the other hand…. well I finished it in a week so I think it’s safe to say I’m obsessed.
Transparent: I feel like most of the people I mention this show around haven’t heard of it, which is why it’s a must on this list! It’s about a family who find out their dad is transitioning into a woman. (Hint the trans-parent). It streams on Amazon Prime, and is the perfect mix of funny dysfunctional family and major life moments.
The Romanoffs: Another Amazon Prime original, AND by the creator of Mad Men. This one is about the story of the Roman royal family that was murdered, and its told in a series of vignettes that are unrelated to each other other than that each connects with the Romanoffs in some way. It’s cool how they each feel like their own movie, and I liked the episodes I’ve seen so far. I feel like it’s gotten some negative reviews so far, but I’m actually into it. My favorite is the episode Christina Hendrix stars in.
Camping: Well, I loved Girls, and Lena Dunham’s new show Camping is super captivating to me as well. The characters are the perfect amount of cringey but also “omg I know that someone exactly like that person!” which I think is the charm Lena Dunham brings to her characters. Definitely recommend if you have HBO!
Queer Eye: The show everyone needs right now! I’m major on self-love, embracing who you are and making the best of yourself and that’s what I love about this show. If you haven’t watched the new Queer Eye on Netflix, do yourself a favor honey, and stream that shit. I can’t even pick a fave from the fab 5 because I love them all! So go watch it if you haven’t!
Claws: I stumbled upon Claws and after the first episode I couldn’t stop watching! It’s kind of a Breaking Bad where the ladies are taking over, and it’s nail bitingly bing-able. It’s worth it alone to watch the first few episodes to see the most ghetto-fabulous funeral ever. Plus, ?Niecy Nash KILLS it in her jumpsuits.
