My #1 rec! A satisfying end to a show that was never drawn out
The Americans | FX
Some of the best characters of all time! I'm currently rewatching this
Lost
I appreciate shows that end when the writers feel it's time! Highly recommend if you're looking for a show that's good from start to end
Succession | Official Website for the HBO Series
Phoebe Waller Bridge is a genius and I'll watch anything she creates. The second season is even better than the first!
Fleabag
1
This mini series had me on the edge of my seat. So happy that Kate Winslet won the Emmy!
Mare of Easttown | Official Website for the HBO Series
The best reality show! I've watched almost every season live and will never get sick of it
Survivor (Official Site) Season 42
Loved Jared Harris in this. You feel transported to the time, which is both devastating and thrilling.
Chernobyl | Official Website for the HBO Series
Breakout acting performances from the two leads. This was the perfect pandemic watch that I've gone back to multiple times
Watch Normal People Streaming Online | Hulu
Hard to watch, but still so good. The cinematography and music elevate this show!
The Handmaid's Tale
A show I'll never get tired of! The iconic characters and episodes make this easy to throw on all the time
Friends | TV
Love Don and Peggy scenes. They don't make shows like this anymore!
Mad Men
Rami is so good in this! It's dark, and a little weird at times, but overall a great watch
Mr. Robot
Jennifer Garner, Victor Garber, and Bradley Cooper can do no wrong. Even though it came out in 2001, it's a timeless show
Alias
Based on real stories of spies in the US and around the world. I'm not sure if they're making more seasons, but I hope so!
Declassified
All-Time Favorite Movies
The iconic Fanny Brice! You'll know the exact moment that wins Barbra her Oscar
Funny Girl
This will always be my favorite movie. It makes me fall more in love with football each time.
Remember the Titans
A Hitchcock film that gave me nightmares for a long time. The book by Daphne du Maurier is also great
Rebecca
Best Picture winner!! Ben Affleck is the lead and directs. I love watching movies that are based on real events
Argo
I will watch any Greta Gerwig film after this one. A simple story about growing up and the relationships with our parents.
Lady Bird
Great cast chemistry, but only watch if you want to cry.
Steel Magnolias
A love letter to Hollywood that is one of my all-time favorites. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are the perfect pair!
La La Land
Creepy, but so well done. Strong cinematography, choreography, and music. One of the best performances of Natalie Portman's career
Black Swan
Documentaries
You'll feel every emotion watching this. The calming ocean sounds will make you feel like you're actually experiencing it.
Watch My Octopus Teacher
This just won the Oscar. An incredibly and important story that we haven't seen the end of. I wish I had Navalny's bravery.
Watch Navalny - Stream Movies | HBO Max
Watching them create some of the most iconic songs was surreal
Watch The Beatles: Get Back
Saw this at Sundance and got to hear from Maria Ressa!! Life-changing
A Thousand Cuts | FRONTLINE
