The prompt for Leslie's 10 on the 10th this month is favorite books, movies, podcasts, and TV shows. I wrote about my favorite books of the year so far here. I don't listen to podcasts, so today you're getting my favorite TV shows and movies. I haven't been watching a whole lot of movies recently so I've listed some movies I'd like to watch sometime soon too!
TV Shows:
Queer Eye (Netflix) - I try not to binge this show because the "seasons" are so short, but it's so hard! I cannot get enough of the Fab Five and the people who's lives they change- such a heartwarming show
Married at First Sight (Lifetime) - Sweet escapism! I cannot get enough of Married at First Sight, the American AND the Australian versions! Man, those Aussies really bring the DRA-MA!
The Sopranos (HBO Max) - Blue and I started binging this series back in May I think, and we're on the we're about halfway through the final season (there are 6). This has been our main binge. They filmed in and around NJ so I know a lot of the places, and have even been to a few! Fun fact: When I was in Driver's Ed in high school, the teacher wanted to show me "something cool" so he had me drive to the Soprano house (from the opening credits). I was unimpressed though because I had never seen the show!
Gone In The Dark (HBO Max) - I read the book and was really interested in seeing this mini-series. I love the way it was told and the many clips of the late Michelle McNamara and the discovery and writing process.
Sweet Magnolias (Hulu) - Another sweet show with a bit of bite and romance. So excited this one has been renewed- they ended the season with a really big cliffhanger!
I also recently watched Love Life (HBO Max) and Love, Victor (Hulu). Love Life is a mini-series starring Anna Kendrick (whom I adore) focusing on her life but more-so her romantic relationships after college graduation. Love, Victor was a sweet spin-off of Love, Simon about a teen who is confused by his sexuality. It has been renewed for a second season, though I'm not sure where they'll go with it since the outcome was pretty clear in the finale.
Movies:
P.S. I Still Love You (Netflix) - I never actually read these books but I did see the first movie so I was excited to see the sequel! I think I liked this one more than the first!
The Lovebirds (Netflix) - this one has been out for awhile and I actually did watch it a few months ago, but it was so absurd and funny that it definitely deserves to be mentioned again!
The Half Of it (Netflix) - One that I haven't heard much hype about, I think this was one of those "Suggested Based on Your Viewing" recommendations from the app and it did not disappoint! A "nerd" is asked by a "jock" to write a love letter to a girl he's interested in, only she's also (secretly) into her. It was a sweet story, and I loved how sassy Ellie was once we got to know her.
And here are a few on deck:
Hamilton
A Sweet Love
Bird of Prey
Onward
Downhill
As you probably noticed, I've been into romance/light-hearted themes lately (with a dash of YA elements!). Can ya blame me? There's enough drama lately so I need some funny and light when trying to relax.
What are you watching and reading lately?
Sharing with Leslie!
