I’m delighted that the first new-to-me show we watched in 2023 was Living With Yourself, because I absolutely loved it! It’s a half-hour, 8-episode dark comedy on Netflix starting Paul Rudd…twice. I remember hearing about the show and thinking the twist wouldn’t appeal to me, but boy was I wrong. The hook of the show … Read more
I’m excited for this list to return for it second year! We typically watch a short show at lunch and a longer show at dinner, and I’m amazed by quality of television in the modern era. From well-written half-hour comedies to epic cinematic dramas, I’m grateful for the many hours of entertainment provided by TV … Read more
I absolutely love the creativity of the challenges on Survivor. Most impressive to me is that they’re made in such a way that anyone has the potential to win. Big, tall, short, small–your physical traits do not have an impact on the majority of challenges in Survivor, particularly the individual ones. Many Survivor challenges follow … Read more
Last year I shared my love for the docu-series “Welcome to Wrexham,” and I’m now in the middle of the second season. It is by far one of my favorite shows, filled with tears, tension, drama, heart, and humor despite me knowing what happened last football season when the show was filmed. I’ll continue to … Read more
I just started watching the latest season of The Great British Baking Show on Netflix, and I was reminded of the many reasons I love the show: The zany hosts, the incisive-yet-kind critics, the charming cast, the setting, the music, and the overall spirit of warmth and generosity. It feels like a hug. The one … Read more
I’m so impressed that Only Murders in the Building continues to charm, beguile, and humor me season after season despite using the same premise: A murder happens in an apartment building in New York City, and an unlikely trio gets wrapped up in the mystery and eventually solves it. If you haven’t watched the show … Read more
For a while now I’ve seen reviewers on SlashFilm laud HBO’s “Warrior” as the best show that no one’s talking about. Despite that, the relatively new show has 3 seasons, and knowing Megan’s affinity for kung fu, I suggested that we try it. We’re now almost finished with the first season. Overall, I think Warrior … Read more
We recently attended a long weekend full of wonderful nerd stuff at a big vacation home with friends, and one of the “events” was centered around an animated show called Gravity Falls. Megan and I had never seen it, so we decided to watch the first few episode so we could better enjoy the event. … Read more
Summertime is American Ninja Warrior time, and we’ve watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of the latest season, all of them at the basic qualifying level. The show has made a few key tweaks this season so far (as well as upcoming episodes that are fully head-to-head), and I’m curious about your thoughts on … Read more
Easily one of the best and most charming sitcoms I’ve watched over the last few years–starting very recently–is Ghosts on Paramount Plus. If you loved the sweet, kind comedy of Parks & Rec, I think you’ll love Ghosts. The premise is that a young couple (Samantha and Jay) suddenly inherits a huge old house in … Read more
