Happy Friday, friends!!

Today, Andrew and I are super pumped because we’re going to surprise the kiddos with something fun and festive after school.  #ilovethistimeofyear  And then tomorrow night is McKinney’s Annual Light Parade!  I mean, someone pinch me.  It’s so much Christmas cheer crammed into one weekend.  I’m going to burst with excitement 😉 .

I feel like I should recap our week a bit because there were so many fun things here in blog world.  Make sure you didn’t miss anything like all the yumminess on my Charcuterie Board or Kensington’s super cute Ugly Sweater Party or about my annual recipe exchange and let’s not forget about my holiday home tour too.  Click the links if you missed any of the fun!

As always, I’m linking up with my friends Erika, Narci and Andrea and sharing some of my favorite things from this week.  Wishing you the coziest and merriest this weekend! xo

You know how I love to cuddle up and watch Hallmark movies in bed all nice and cozy?  Well, since I can’t figure out how to watch them on my phone, I save my Hallmark movies for that time and then when I’m eating lunch, folding laundry and such, I watch something on my phone.  It’s quick, it’s convenient and it’s right there.  Friends, I had a low moment this week.  I am without a show to watch on Netflix/Prime/etc, so while I ate my lunch, I watched Ken Burn’s documentary on the Vietnam War.

What?

Yes.

Now, Andrew loves those documentaries and to be fair, I probably do need to educate myself on the Vietnam War more, but friends, that show is not the kind of show I know in my heart I need to be binge watching right now.  I AM TAKING A GREY’S BREAK, but I need a new show to watch.

Please.

I beg you.

Don’t make me watch anymore about the Vietnam War.

Show suggestions coveted in the comment section of this post.

On Wednesday night, Andrew and I got to go to our Sunday school class Christmas party and we had SO MUCH FUN!!!

Who doesn’t love a date night with all the peeps you love so much?!

Here we are heading out.  The temp was in the low 40s, so I busted out my big fury coat.  I bought this baby several years ago, and they still have it in stock.  It’s so warm and cozy!  Whether you get it for yourself or to gift, it’s a keeper!

You guys all know that Narci is my Stella & Dot rep…and that I ADORE all the things they have monogrammed for myself and for gifts…

…like this bracelet with my babies’ names on there.  Well looky what she showed me this week…

…it’s a monogrammed clutch!  Isn’t it so cute?!  They have so many things you can customize and make personal on their site right now just in time for the holidays!

A little #ootd for your Friday…

My cozy Ugg booties with a cute gray sweater and fun scarf!  I wore this all day yesterday while I ran errands and such.  I wore the Uggs twice this week and was stopped and complimented twice on them.  They’re fun, y’all!

Wrapping up today…

All About Holiday Appetizers

…it’s All About HOLIDAY Appetizers!  ‘Tis the season for dip, friends.  Lots and lots of dip!

I hope you all have the best weekend!!  See you guys on Monday! xo

    If you haven’t already, you must watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon. I haven’t started Season 2 yet because I know my life will come to a complete standstill!

    • Jennifer says

      We’re in despair now! Just last night I was clicking thru everything in a daze trying to figure out what to watch. Literally wandering aimlessly…:)

  4. Candice says

    Try Shameless on Netflix – you will be hooked instantaneously! William H. Macy is the dad of a dysfunctional, but fun, family on the South Side of Chicago.

  7. Mikey Clare says

    OMG The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on amazon prime!!!!! Season two just came out. It is amazing! Homecoming with Julia Roberts on amazon prime is also amazing, but more serious.

  8. Jenn says

    Hi Shay! I enjoy reading your blog each morning! Have you watched “Friday Night Lights” (the tv series, not movie) yet? It’s not on Netflix, but on Amazon Prime. Always a great go-to!

    • Kathy says

      Agree to Poldark, Outlander….add Vikings, The Tudors, The White Queen and of all, Versailles.

      As much as you like to travel, throw in some history and you will love even more. Best is all of those shows your husband will enjoy watching with you. Why binge alone i Say!

  11. Elspeth Mizner says

    Suits on Amazon Prime is so good, The Newsroom on Amazon prime is only three seasons but also really intense and relatable, The Royals in Amazon Prime is more light hearted but with some drama

  12. Nicole says

    I don’t remember where I saw it, but you posted your Starbucks order and I was wondering what egg white bites you get, and drink!! 🙂

  15. Erika Slaughter says

    I’m positive I would have found you something to watch other than that documentary…call me for help next time!! Ha!

  16. Narci says

    What a FUN week it has been! Also, Stella and Dot has so many cute personalized items right now, and those ugg boots are absolutely adorable on you! Eek! Have fun tonight! Happy Friday!

  17. Christy says

    I love the booties! Which pants are you wearing in the last picture? Also, where did you get that adorable tree in your closet? So fun!

  18. Christine says

    Salt, Fat, acid, heat!! 4 part series on Netflix. Food and travel – YOU will enjoy this!!!

    • Kelly Otwell says

      YES!!! This is SO interesting! My husband doesn’t know it yet, but he’s giving me this book for Christmas 🙂

  19. Holly F. says

    REIGN! It is about Mary, Queen of Scots but it’s not a documentary!!!! I googled a lot of the things said or info and it’s happened! So so so good!

    • Wendy says

      The show Reign is HIGHLY fictionalized….most of the stuff that happens in that show is purely for entertainment value. It really was targeted for teenagers/young adults with its current music, drama and romance. I am half Scottish/half American and watched it with my teenager. I loved the fact that it got my daughter interested in Scottish history, but I filled in a lot of the real facts as the story was progressing.

  20. AJ says

    I am genuinely curious and my intention is not mean…why are comments coveted? I have seen you say “I covet your comments” before too. I speak French and I am trying to make sense of the context.

  21. Lauren Boswell says

    You might need the nbc app but watch New Amsterdam, it’s a medical show but SOO much better the Grey’s!

  27. deb says

    I highly recommend watching Heartland on Netflix. It’s about a lovely family on a horse ranch in Canada. Light, mostly happy, feel good show. And best of all I think 12 seasons or so!!

  28. Jo says

    What mother of 4 kids under 9 has time to read all the books you read AND binge watch shows. On top of your jam packed social life. Insane. So not reality.

  29. Erin K. says

    Netflix actually has a few Hallmark-ish Christmas movies. The Holiday Engagement, The Christmas Prince and it’s sequel, Christmas Inheritence are just a few!

  31. Brandy Lawrence says

    Parenthood is hands down my favorite binge watch. I actually just finished it for a second go around. Friday Night Lights is good also!

  35. Mary says

    When Calls the Heart is on Netflix and is such an amazing show. Even my husband likes it and he usually doesn’t like shows like that. It draws you in quickly and is so refreshing that a good, clean show can actually be entertaining!
    Also, if you have not watched Parks and Rec you need to! Hilarious.

  38. Sara Oliver says

    You should watch the Netflix series called Dogs. It’s only 6 shows. You will not be disappointed.

  39. Kathy Lang says

    The Handmaids Tale on Hulu is absolutely intriguing! Both my husband and I are really enjoying it!

  40. Jo says

    Hi Shay, I’m not sure if you have The Crown on Netflix in the US but it’s definitely worth watching x

  41. Stephanie says

    Jane the Virgin on Netflix! It’s intentionally cheesy but such an easy fun watch! I was hooked!

  43. SS says

    I will agree with those that said Younger.
    Also, something light (you may be a little young, but still remember) The Goldbergs.
    We watched The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix last night… It was good.

  44. Brianna says

    Highly recommend Jane the Virgin, everyone I recommend it to ends up loving it! Also as someone else mentioned, those cheesy Netflix original Christmas Movies are pretty similar to Hallmark movies, super cute, super predictable. ?

  45. Jessica says

    ugh i hate finishing a great show & not having any more episodes to watch! haha. We just finished SUITS on amazon prime, it was SO good!

  46. Keryn says

    100% agree with Friday Night Lights and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Also The Jack Ryan series with the adorable John Krasinski on Amazon prime.

  47. Rebecca L. says

    Designated Survivor, Madam Secretary, Call the Midwife (British series set in the late 50’s and early 60’s – very wholesome and heartwarming) are all binge worthy shows!

  48. Sarah says

    When Calls the Heart is so good! I binged all the seasons in two weeks and there is a bonus Christmas movie with some seasons!

  49. Elizabeth says

    Have you watched Designated Survivor yet? We have been binge watching it lately and its so good!

  50. Cortny says

    Broadchurch is our absolute favorite! It is set in Dorset, England and just gorgeous to watch! The setting is amazing, the actors are wonderful AND its a murder mystery that will have you guessing the entire season(s). Highly recommend!

  51. Belinda says

    Homeland. Hands down the BEST show! I’ve binge watched a lot of shows, but nothing consumed my life like Homeland!

  52. Ralinn says

    I will have to look into the Vietnam documentary. My dad was there and he does not talk about it. It would help me understand better. My husband is a big fan of Parks and Rec and The Office. Hallmark movies make me happy. I love that clutch. I’m headed to the site know.

  53. Lauren R says

    On Netflix – New Girl, Parks and Rec, The Office, Safe, The Five
    On Hulu – The Mindy Project, Happy Endings
    Amazon Prime – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Suits, Jack Ryan,

  54. Katherine Darlington says

    Secrets and Lies with Juliette Lewis. There’s only 2 seasons. It was twisty turny and you’ll never figure out the “who done it” either of the seasons. So good.

  55. Rana says

    Call the Midwife is a great show and its on Netflix. My daughter and I also love When Calls The Heart which is a Hallmark show but is also on Netflix. Both are only about 10 episodes a season.

  56. Bobbie says

    Manifest! New show that juts premiered on NBC so it is only like half a season right now. Amazing show!

  57. Taylor says

    Big Little Lies!!!! Nicole Kidman & Reese Witherspoon both star in it along with many other amazing actresses. I also don’t blame you for putting Greys on hold. I haven’t watched a new episode in over 2 years and only binge watch the older seasons..sigh

  60. Nina says

    Mad Men is my all time favorite series because I LOVE seeing what life was like in the 50’s and 60’s. Currently, any second I have, I am binging on The Handmaid’s Tale. It is so good!

  62. Leiah says

    If you haven’t already, you absolutely need to watch Grace and Frankie on Netflix!!! It’s got Jane Fonda and is so stinking cute and funny! Seriously – watch it now! 🙂

  64. Jordan says

    Definitely Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon! I can’t decide if I want her to be my BFF or if I just want to be her! Hahaha

  65. lilly says

    A million little thing…… great tv show and bring your kleenex but its so real and life changing

  66. Allie P says

    Have you watched New Girl? My husband and I are rewatching now on netflix. Its funny and about 20 minutes per episode.

  67. Meg says

    The Great British Baking Show! And I bet Kensington would love it too! I didn’t think I’d get into it…tried it on Sophie Hudson’s raving recommendation and I’m HOOKED! It’s so happy and soothing and such a treat every night!

  68. Lauren says

    We really like Longmire on Netflix! It’s a western, which is different, but it’s really well done! And I like it because it’s clean!

  69. Jessie says

    Once Upon a Time on Netflix! The first 4 seasons were especially good. My hubby even ended up being dragged in and he’s not into TV at all.

  71. Whitney says

    Netflix- Ozark (jason bateman) and NARCOS.
    Amazon- Jack Ryan

    Top three faves by far. So very good! Merry Christmas!!!♥️

  74. Ashley Kohler says

    Hi Shay! My name aid Ashley, I’m 22 and I have loved reading your blog ever since I was 17! I haven’t missed one yet lol but you should watch Gilmore Girls 🙂 Even if you have seen it before it is the best show ever in my opinion! Have a great weekend 🙂

  76. Suzy says

    Where do you get your leggings from?? I assume you are wearing leggings with the grey sweater and scarf? Thanks!!

  77. Liz Even says

    It seems we need to be watching the marvelous mrs maise. It got lots of votes. And while I do love a documentary, there is onlybso much I can take. So excited to hear about your adventure tonight. And thanks for the reminder about the lights parade. Wonder if it’s raining? Anywho..have a blast tonight!!

  80. Andrea says

    I love this thread b/c I’m always looking for new Netflix/Prime recs. So thank you for these. My favorites that I have watched recently have been Goliath(Prime), Jack Ryan(Prime), Broadchurch, Rectify, The Fall, The Five (all Netflix). Excited to watch the new season of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel this weekend!

  81. Amlakar says

    One series I recently started is “Anne with an E”- it’s based on the Anne of Green Gables book. Kensington could watch with you. I didn’t think I would like it so I was reluctant at first but ended up loving it. If you like “Little House on the Prairie” you will love this sweet show!

  83. Lauren chitwood says

    Hi Shay, I love all the things you do with your kids and family for the holidays. Did you and Andrew do all these things before you had kids? Or did you guys have any Christmas traditions before kids? Can’t wait to have babies and do fun things but in the meantime… ?

  87. Andrea says

    I don’t think I have ever loved a show as much as Nashville so if you haven’t watched that, I highly recommend! It’s on Hulu!

  88. Mary Jane McNeill says

    Justified!!! Main character is a long tall drink of water 🙂 (but then again, you’re married to one of those!!) 😉

  89. Avery Shannon says

    On Prime: Jack Ryan, and currently loving The Man in the High Castle — it’s been nominated for Emmys, and it’s about what the world would be like if the Nazis had won World War II. If you can find White Collar on Prime (it rotated off Netflix), it is the BEST show to binge watch. On Netflix: Mad Men

  91. Kimberly says

    ER on Hulu! My fiance and I have been watching it for the past 7 months– 15 seasons with 20+ episodes each season, it’s been so nice to have one long show to watch 🙂 It’s the perfect mix of drama, comedy, and action… and of course GEORGE CLOONEY. It’s fun to see what stars were extras on the show.

  94. Rachel says

    On Netflix, The Final Table. It’s an international cooking competition. I don’t even like to cook, but it’s so interesting AND it’s rated PG!

  95. Keisha Dawson says

    All of the Christmas movies on Netflix – pretty much just like Hallmark movies, but I love them so. The Good Doctor, The Resident, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Great British Baking Show and Body of Proof are all great shows to watch.

  96. Kerstin says

    I highly recomend las chicas del cable, gran hotel (or grand hotel..) and casa the papel. It’s impossible to take a break from watching them! They are all in spanish and available at Netflix.

  97. Chelsey says

    Younger, Heart of Dixie, and The Bold Type are all good! I haven’t watched the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel yet, I am saving that for my maternity leave ha! but have heard nothing but great things. The Great British Baking Show is another great one, it’s an easy one to watch while multitasking because you don’t feel like you’ve missed anything!

  98. Kayla A Bruce says

    Great British Baking Show! There are like, five seasons on Netflix, and they are amazing. I also just finished Superstore on Hulu, and I actually really loved it.

  99. Lindsay says

    I’ll have to keep reading the comments on this post! About to have Baby #2 and know I will need some good shows to binge watch while spending all the time on the couch nursing a baby 😛

  101. Sonia says

    On Erika’s blog, she mentioned watching Drop Dead Diva on Netflix and that’s the show that I’m watching right now during my commute, and I thoroughly enjoy it. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is also such a fun show, and I’m trying to wait to dive into Season 2 because I know I’m just going to want to stay up until all hours of the night watching it!

  102. Ella says

    Hi,
    I’m going to be that person and ask what your nail color is in the last photo with the plaid scarf.
    You look so good!

  103. Caitlyn Keller says

    My husband and I are binge watching the O.J. Simpson remake they did on Netflix and we are super into it! He’s normally the documentary man and I’m Hallmark movie girl, but this is holding both of our interest for sure!

  104. Stacy Tsoukatos says

    I just started watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu. The actress (Elizabeth Moss) wins a ton of awards for the performance so I am giving it a go. Its not the most PG topic but dang is it really really really good! Worth having Hulu all on its own.

  105. Priscilla says

    I love New Amsterdam!! How I Met Your Mother is cute. It’s on fx right now, Netflix took it off, but you can record and watch the episodes.

  106. Christy MacKenzie says

    So Suits is amazing. My husband and I love it! The Crown was so good — can’t remember if you’ve seen that one or not yet— nor can I remember if you’ve watched New Girl — it is hilarious. All three of those have been recommended to you in previous comments, but I wanted to throw my two cents in that they are good, also! Merry Christmas! ?

  107. Amy A says

    Hey Shay! You have a lot of great suggestions of what to watch. However, you are one busy wife, mama and business person! Maybe just pause and don’t watch anything – just be! Silence is Golden! Now I am showing my age! Have a great weekend! ?❤️

  108. Jen says

    Don’t know if someone mentioned this already – but Haunting of Hill House is AMAZING!! It’s definitely scary, but the story line is just so great. It’s something you’ll have to pay attention to but if you ever have the time I would 1000% recommend it!!

  109. Kate L says

    LOL’d at you taking a break in your day and choosing to watch the Vietnam War documentary. You and I are typically into the same shows, and I am currently binging Brothers & Sisters on Hulu. Sally Fields, Rob Lowe, sibling bonds, and some interesting plot twists–it’s good without being too serious or hard to keep up while multi-tasking.

    Mrs. Maisel is up next on my queue, though, too!

  111. Amy Hargrove says

    You need to Google QB1- It is a docuseries about High school Quarterbacks and it is produced by Peter Berg. Bonus… It’s free to watch on your phone. It follows 3 high school quarterbacks in their final high school season . Season 1 followed Jake Fromm (Georgia QB) and 2 other Quarterbacks. Season 2 follows Justin Fields ( who gave Jake Fromm a run for his money some in the beginning of this football season at Georgia) and Sam Hartman who you probably have seen in games this year for Ohio State and Wake Forest. Sam Hartman is interesting to watch because his high school coach is Chad Grier who is the father of West Virginia’s QB Will Grier. They are short 24 minutes episodes, but oh so good if you love college football.

  112. Lauren Barnett says

    I just ordered myself those Ugg booties after reading about them in your posts multiple times! Merry Christmas to me! As for shows, I am currently watching “A Million Little Things,” and I like it so far!

  113. Alexandra Ludders says

    If you haven’t watched Big Little Lies on HBO it is a MUST WATCH! It is about a group of women with school aged children living near Big Sur and the show revolves around a mystery. SO GOOD! Be prepared to binge watch this show.

  117. SS says

    I forgot Nailed It on Netflix. It is the baking competition…but it’s funny!!! If you need a quick laugh or having a bad day in the kitchen! LOL.
    Check out Life in Pieces too. I can’t remember if it’s on hulu or Netflix… it’s a CBS show. It is great!!!

  119. Jennifer says

    My all-time favorite shows to binge watch on Netflix were Parenthood and Gilmore Girls. I feel like you’ve said you’ve seen these. We watched Scandal about a year ago. Right now we’re somewhere in season 8 of Criminal Minds. The first 5 minutes are creepy, but the rest of the show makes up for it. 🙂 Great cast! And lots of seasons!

  120. Lauren says

    So it isn’t on Netflix anymore, but it is on amazon and maybe hulu, it’s called Life In Pieces. It is heart warming and hilarious!!!

  121. Gardner Story says

    PLEASE watch The Great British Baking Show on Netflix. It is the most delightful show on the earth. I promise you will not regret it. My top 3 favorite shows ever are 1) Great British Baking Show, 2) Park and Rec, and 3) Gilmore Girls. This is Us is incredible, but more emotional. Please give them a try!!!

  122. Katie says

    Hulu- The Handmaid’s Tale is amazing! Both my husband and I like it a lot.
    Amazon- The Man in the High Castle. Another my husband and I really like. It’s written as if the USA and allies had lost world war 2.

  123. Valerie says

    My sister got me watching Offspring on Netflix – based in Australia about a quirky obstetrician and her family – a little Allie McBeal /Scrubs / Parenthood mashup! 7 seasons so it keeps you going for a while – and who doesn’t love a good Australian accent!?!

  125. Sara B. says

    I just don’t understand why people are mean and rude??!! No one is making them read your blog. It makes me so sad and mad that you even have to read their comments.
    Try to push them completely out of your mind!
    Or like my Sunday school teacher once said (and I still tell my own daughters), “Pray for mean people, they need it the most!”
    Merry Christmas!! ?

  126. Sophie Marion says

    Younger (it’s on Hulu) is a MUST watch – the perfect show to binge. It’s about a woman that’s 40 who pretends to be 25 so she can get a job at a major book publishing company. I think you would love it because it has to do with the publishing industry, and also it’s super light and fun and has romantic comedy as well!

  127. Mare Deig says

    A Million Little Things. It’s on ABC but you can watch it on demand. It is sooooo good and it takes place in Boston!!

  128. Callie says

    Shay, if you haven’t watched Marvelous Mrs. Maisel yet, then you MUST! You will laugh out loud!!! Definitely a different vibe from Greys 🙂

  130. Mary says

    Happy Friday!! I watch Hallmark movies using the app on my phone. I login with my DirectTV service. Also, Mad Men is GREAT!!

  134. Kristine G. says

    I’m so sad that Ozark is over. Best show! Currently watching Mindhunter on Netflix with the hubs. Pretty good, but dark.

  137. Ann says

    My husband and I have been rewatching “The Amazing Race” from Season 1 on Amazon Prime. It’s neat to see all the places they go and the challenges they do there (and often makes you appreciate that you aren’t married to a crazy person! ?). We’re taking a break to rewatch “Downton Abbey”. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a staff to cook and clean for you all the time?! ?

    I agree with the votes for the “Great British Baking Show” and “Call the Midwife”.

    And, if you’ve read “Anne of Green Gables” or seen the Kevin Sullivan versions starring Megan Follows, “Anne with an E” is very far from them (I consider myself an Anne purist!). If you go into it thinking, hmm, this also takes place in PEI and happens to have characters with the same or similar names, it is a compelling story of an orphan looking to find her way in a new family / environment. I might suggest you preview it before letting Kensington watch with you – some bits are pretty difficult to watch. At times, it opens your eyes to things that orphans may have experienced that no child ever should…

  138. Audra wray says

    Poldark! It’s a British show that I actually think is better than Downton Abbey. It’s incredible from the first episode. Loving all things British, you will adore it! I also agree about Marvelous Mrs. Maize! Suits is good too with Meagan Markle and When Calls the Heart would be sweet to watch with your kiddos around! Poldark is typically kid safe too!

  140. Brianne Fair says

    I highly recommend The Crown and The Good Wife (which is a million times better than Suits).

  141. Bella V. says

    I’m not sure if you have a Hulu membership, but if you do Killing Eve is fantastic! Also, if you don’t mind a scary-ish show (and the kiddos won’t be around to accidentally see it), the Haunting of Hill House is really good too!

  142. Bella V. says

    I’m not sure if you have a Hulu membership, but if you do Killing Eve is SO. GOOD. Also, if you don’t mind a scary-ish show (and the kiddos won’t be around to accidentally see it), the Haunting of Hill House is really good too!

  146. Jessica Leymaster says

    If you haven’t seen it, you have to watch This Is Us. It is right up your alley and will have you feeling ALL the feels!

  147. Brittany says

    Manifest just started this fall! It is fabulous! Or New Amsterdam! Also Gossip Girl on Netflix!

  148. Brittany says

    Also what kindle do you have? I was trying to find the specific one on a post but couldn’t! -Thanks

  149. Meredith M. says

    The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Prime), Scott & Bailey (Prime), Ozark (Netflix), Marchella (Netflix), Luther (Netflix), The Killing (Netflix), Stranger Things (Netflix)– some of our favorites!

  150. Laura Turner says

    My husband an I REALLY liked The Newsroom! Jeff Daniels is one of the leads (of Dumb and Dumber fame), but in a serious role. It has drama, love, and humor in a perfect combination, and it makes you think a bit too.
    I HIGHLY recommend!!

  151. Lyssa says

    This is Us [it’s on Hulu] if you haven’t watched it yet, and make sure you have tissues. Charmed on Netflix [I recently watched it and loved it, I had never seen it when it was on cable] The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix [a little gory, but not too bad, I can handle it and I don’t do well with gore], Gilmore Girls on Netflix [if you’ve never seen it before]

  152. Margie L says

    Poldark
    The Crown
    Marvelous Maisel
    Outlander
    This is Us
    Victoria

    All incredible, smart, captivating shows.

  154. Stephanie says

    Shay, what size are you wearing in the faux fur coat? It’s stunning! Topshop’s sizes can run a little strange, how would you say it runs? Looks like most sizes are gone in the gray…hoping they re-stock!

    • Mix and Match Mama says

      I always look at the sizing in the parenthesis and go with the one that says (0-2) because you’re right, their sizing is not the same as most.

  155. Janet Palachek says

    Broadchurch on Netflix was sooo good! Set in England and they are trying to solve a murder. Also really loved Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime Video. Your husband would like it too!

  156. Ashley says

    Outlander, Poldark and Call the Midwife are all must watches! Clearly I’m on a British kick lately! 😉 I also plan on watching Dumplin this week because who doesn’t love Dolly Parton?!?

  157. Stacey says

    Definitely The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, but it’s only on season 2 — For a longer show, since I know you’ve already watched Gilmore Girls, would be Parenthood. One of my all time favorite shows and trust me, you’ll want to become a Braverman 🙂

  158. Katherine Shipley says

    I am with you on this, my husband LOVED the Ken Burns Vietnam War documentary and I was snoozing through every episode. Even though I am sure it is interesting and I definitely could use the knowledge!
    This Is Us is a great show (currently in its 3rd season) if you haven’t seen it!

  159. Jade says

    Another vote for Miss Maisel and Younger. Charming, fun but still with heart. Love both of those!

    Also another one that is a really interesting and well done show, as well as quite mind-expanding and thought-provoking – “Dear White People” on Netflix. The title is a little odd, but the show has been really good. And it sheds light/depth on important issues to do with race, gender and more. The first couple of episodes are just ok, and then it starts getting really good. Each episode is about a different character in the show.
    Actually only gave it a try because we were at the same point as you – just finished another show and at a loss for what to watch. I remember hearing about it on NPR a long time ago so when I caught the title in browsing, I thought ‘why not?’ So glad we did, now we’re hooked!
