Loki

It's better than WandaVision and it might even be better than The Falcon and the Winter Solider but I can't say because I haven't watched that one yet. (Disney+)


I Think You Should Leave Season 2

I-Think-You-Should-Leave-Season-2.jpg

The best sketch comedy show going right now. If you watched Season 1, you've probably binged Season 2 already. If you haven't, what are you waiting for. And if you haven't watched either season, get into it. (Netflix)


Fear Street

Based on the R.L. Stine books, this one hits all the right '80 slasher/horror notes. It even has Max from Stranger Things! (Netflix)


Cat People

Come for Moshow The Cat Rapper, stay for the rest of the celebration of felines and their friends. (Netflix)


High on the Hog

Host Stephen Satterfield travels the country and the globe and dishes up the history of African American Cuisine. It's part food show, part history lesson and it's all nourishing. (Netflix)


Joe Pera Talks With You

Season 2 dropped last year, but I slept on it. Joe Pera is entertaining and authentic and funny and awkward all at once. We all need a bit of Joe Pera in our lives. (HBO Max)
