items These are the shows that had me locked in and still do. Some have twisty turns that keep you guessing. Some are pure cozy vibes that make you want to live in Stars Hollow forever. Either way, they’re the ones I couldn’t stop watching, the ones I rewa...

DRAMA
Beth Dutton is my spirit animal. This show had me sucked in from season one. Gripping, dark, morally gray characters you somehow root for anyway. At the end of the day: family is everything. The way it ended gutted me — I genuinely mourned losing the...
Yellowstone - TV Series
Billy Bob Thornton was made for this role. Period. His dark, smitten, rollercoaster love affair with his ‘ex-wife’ is diabolical and honestly? Angela is every bit of me as a wife. My husband laughed and shook his head so many times at how accurate it...
Landman - TV Series
This show was filmed and set close to where I’m from, but I didn’t watch it until I was 38 years old. The nostalgia hit different — high school friendships, drama, first loves, forever loves. Now I rewatch it once a year with my daughter as a ritual....
One Tree Hill - TV Series
A wild ride of every single emotion. You process what ‘Offred’ processes right there on screen. Every time you think you’re on the other side of an emotion, another event explodes and you’re right back in the chaos. I laughed, cried, mourned, and lea...
The Handmaid's Tale - TV Series
A doctor gets into a car accident and loses her memory. She knows she’s a doctor but nothing else. She finds out her life was in shambles before the crash and now has to sort through things to get to the bottom of a few mysterious situations. All whi...
Doc - TV Series
In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are th...
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - TV Series
A popular CBS drama where Colter Shaw travels the US helping people find their loved ones for a ‘finder’s fee.’ He’s most people’s first choice because he comes highly recommended by those he’s helped before — survivalist and tracking skills on anoth...
Tracker - TV Series
All of these people have become part of my own family. A long-running hospital drama where Meredith Grey navigates living in her prodigal mother’s shadow as she becomes a doctor at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital. Meredith is relatable — difficult ...
Grey's Anatomy - TV Series
CRIME
Short but absolutely devastating. Three seasons (2013-2015) and I went through all the stages of mourning when they didn’t renew. A group of elite UC agents from different agencies live together in a drug house seized by the government. The rollercoa...
Graceland - TV Series
COMEDY
The hook is the cozy small-town vibes of Stars Hollow and the relationship between a single mom and her daughter who love coffee more than sleep. You watch Rory grow up, experience first love and heartbreak, while Lorelai navigates her own relationsh...
Gilmore Girls - TV Series
Very sarcastic, dry personality that I didn’t fully appreciate until rewatching as an adult. Daria is incredibly relatable — when I was a teen, she had a lot of my personality traits but I didn’t recognize it. As teens, I think her personality was fa...
Daria - TV Show
The introduction alone — I still remember memorizing every word. The comedy always lands, even now that I’m older. Will’s journey then was just a kid living with his aunt and uncle in California. Now it connects differently, but honestly it’s always ...
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - TV Series
THRILLER/MYSTERY
A nail biter from start to finish. I couldn’t figure out whodunnit. Every single time I thought I knew what was happening, Professor Keating threw a curveball. Her husband, a mystery woman, a group of interns, and a law professor tangled up in someth...
Watch How to Get Away With Murder - TV Show
SCI-FI
A fantasy/sci-fi show about kids who begin playing D&D in one of their basements and end up becoming part of the fantasy. Eleven is found and the rest is a rollercoaster of emotions and happiness. I am NOT a sci-fi girlie at all, but this show st...
Stranger Things - TV Series
A plane disappears and reappears — but way more time has passed than anyone realizes. They spend hours on hours trying to figure out what happened. Then the twist: they start dying anyway. But why? It’s Final Destination mixed with From. I wish there...
Manifest - TV Show
TRUE CRIME
This is the show my grandparents used to watch on TV all the time. There’s a certain nostalgia that comes with watching it now. True crime stories from across the world, mostly the US, that are so inconceivable you wouldn’t believe them if you didn’t...
