The OA (Netflix)
“It was wrongfully canceled after two seasons, but that doesn’t stop me from rewatching it three times a year. I even joined protesters fighting to get it back on air. The show incorporates my favorite topic: parallel universes.”
Beckham (Netflix)
“A perfect mix of sports and romance makes watching with your partner [Blue Bloods’ Donnie Wahlberg] that much better. I heard there might be some cheating allegations coming up, but I’m hoping they’re not true! We need love stories in this world.”
Encounters (Netflix)
“Something people don’t know about me is that I’m a sci-fi junkie. Ghosts, aliens, and anything supernatural are always my go-to. The only disappointing thing is that it’s only four episodes. I need more!”
Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)
“My son is obsessed with the show. People keep telling me how amazing it is. Steve Martin [above, with Meryl Streep, a Season 3 guest star] is one of my idols, so I need to catch up and be ready for the next season.”
Painkiller (Netflix)
“It’s not easy going up against giants, so when a truth-seeker can get their story mainstreamed, we should all spread the word. Matthew Broderick did an amazing job as Richard Sackler. I loved to hate him.”
Keeping Up With the Kardashians (Peacock)
“I’m rewatching all [20 seasons] from the very first one. My friends called me crazy until they started. You think Real Housewives gives good shade? The Kardashians are the GOATs of throwing sister shade.”
