QUARTERBACK S2

Netflix Original

Netflix

With the upcoming football season starting soon, we can get our fix by watching S2 of Netflix's Quarterback which follows select quarterbacks Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Kirk Cousins during the 2024-2025 season. We get to see them on the field, during practice, and when they are out and about living their lives. We enjoy being able to know how they see the game and navigate their lives as well as to work alongside their teammates. If last season was any indication, we know that this will be a quick binge as we get ready for a great football season ahead.

BALLARD

Prime Video Original

Prime Video

Avid readers of Athleisure Mag know that we have been a fan of Prime Video's BOSCH the flagship show as well as its first spin-off BOSCH: Legacy and now the latest, BALLARD! These Michael Connelly series are based on his books that allow us to follow a series of cases in the LAPD and to get to know those who are investigating even more. In BALLARD, we are introduced to Renee Ballard (Maggie Q) who we know left Homicide in the LAPD due to an incident and now helms an interesting team of Reserve Officers as well as volunteers to help solve cold cases.

As we watch her navigate getting justice for those that have been forgotten, we are reminded of our favorite characters from the BOSCH universe that even include Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) himself!

Like the other series in this universe, it is fast paced, there are multiple cases and twists and we're sure you'll find it as satisfying as we did. We're already looking forward to what S2 will involve to see how this story will continue.

EASY MONEY: THE CHARLES PONZI STORY

Apple Originals

Spotify

In terms of financial crimes, we are all aware of Ponzi Schemes as it has been attached to a number of downfalls that people have found themselves in. In Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story, we find out about the man, Charles Ponzi (Sebastian Maniscalco) who came to the US to live his American Dream and due to various choices that he made became the symbol that many people have been connected to that have involved swindling and other nefarious behaviors financially.

We trace Charles' story from being in Italy, coming to the US, attempts at making an ernest living, to figuring out a plan that wasn't fully formed but had to be moved upon.

It's doing this plan and continuing to add others to it in order to fund it that creates what we know to be the Ponzi Scheme that continues to pop up across industries in a number of ways.

BOSTON STRANGLER

Hulu Original

Hulu

In terms of True Crime, the Boston Strangler was a series of murders that many of us have heard of, and interestingly enough, there are a number of details that we're not aware of. In Hulu's Boston Strangler, we learn how 2 reporters, Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightly) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) broke this story about a man in 1960s Boston who strangled women with their stocking and tied them into a bow. We learn how they had to fight to be involved in the story, the blow back when the story hit the papers and then the revelations that have continued to emerge from this case and what we know about it now!

TED LASSO

Apple Original

Apple TV+

We've always enjoyed the good vibes that you get when watching Ted Lasso which brings us on a journey from an American football coach who goes across the pond to coach British footballers. Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) encourages everyone surrounding him to be their best selves by looking on the bright side of life and never giving up - even when you're going through tough times in your life.

Even when he isn't aware of how the game is played, his optimism and determination is one that leaves you rooting for him. It even makes the wins his team achieves even better. We also see how he brings the team and front office management together through his can do attitude.

This 11X Emmy Award winning show definitely gives you the giggles when you watch it and has great cameos of those that have been included in the show. Now in its third season, it's the perfect time to binge previous seasons to catch up or to rewatch some of your favorite memories!

We can't wait to see what happens to the AFC Richmond team and what one-liners Ted will share throughout the season!

MIRRORS

We enjoyed Season 1 of The Turning focussed on a group of women who joined the Missionaries of Charity, Mother Teresa’s secretive order of nuns. Minnesota-based producer and reporter Erika Lantz is back with Season 2 Room of Mirrors which looks at the ballet system that was created by choreographer, George Balanchine who was brilliant in his artistry, but also created a number of systemic issues for those that trained under him. Erika, a former ballerina interviews a number of people who worked with him to talk about their experience and where they are now.
