Netflix

The Good Place, TV-14

If you’re a lover of sitcoms, add this to your watch list immediately. It follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristin Bell) as she navigates the afterlife. It stars an A+ cast, the unexpected twists keep you on the edge of your seat, and you won’t be able to stop laughing.

Stranger Things, TV-14

Sci-fi fans, this is for you. If you have somehow missed the Stranger Things boat, jump on! When Will Byers goes missing, his friends find more than they bargained for as they search for him. The series takes place in the 80’s (we love the nostalgia) in an Indiana small town. The intensity and mystery make that “watch next” button incredibly tempting. Season three came out last summer, so it’s time to get caught up!

Snuggle up for some happy, lighthearted content. This feel-good, easy going drama takes you to the Deep South. A city girl, Zoe Hart, finds herself working in a tiny town in Alabama when she inherits a medical practice. It’s the kind of show that gives you Hallmark vibes, but you don’t have to wait until Christmas!

Hulu

A Million Little Things, TV-14

The Good Doctor, TV-14

This series is a medical drama, with a twist. It follows the life of Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome.

As he is unable to connect with those around him, he uses his medical gifts to save lives and defy the skepticism of his colleagues.

The Rookie, TV-14

This show is a crime drama starring everyone’s favorite “Castle” actor, Nathan Fillion.

While some think he is just a walking mid-life crisis, John uses his experience and sense of humor to find success on the force.

Disney+

Amazon Prime

Friday Night Lights, TV-14

If you’re not getting your sports fix, this series might help just a little.
