Best Lines of the Week (July 14-20): ‘You Go Off, Queen!’
As we inch towards the middle of summer, we don’t know if it’s the heat or all of this new TV that’s making us feel all the emotions. From laugh-out-loud comedies to mysterious dramas, you’re bound to find at least one show that will match your vibe. Along with all of these new episodes and releases always comes some iconic lines of dialogue.
Reality TV made us swoon with new episodes of ABC‘s The Bachelorette and Peacock‘s Love Island as we watched beautiful people search for their perfect match. Things got a little bit more serious with Netflix‘s Sweet Magnolias making us tear up with its heartfelt third season, and FX‘s action-packed premiere of Justified: City Primeval, where we saw the long-awaited return of Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant). And we know we can get the best of both world with the premiere of The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s second season, which gives us a rollercoaster of emotions from watching Belly flash back and forth between her romantic past and her dramatic present.
