THE FOUR SEASONS

Netflix Original

Netflix

Over the past few months, there have been Netflix series that have not only been craveably binge worthy, but your fingers are crossed that there will be an additional season as you were so gripped by the characters and the storytelling. In The Four Seasons, we are introduced to a friend group that has maintained their connectivity across decades and the natural changes that take place in their lives. Throughout the episodes we catch them at various points of vacations that happen throughout the 4 seasons! With an incredible cast that includes Steve Carell (The Office, The Patient, Mountainhead), Tina Fey (30 Rock, Only Murders in the Building, SNL), and Colman Domingo (Euphoria, Fear the Walking Dead, Rustin) - to name a few. After watching this season, you realize that friendship is a choice and one that's about challenging, accepting, and continuing to evolve as situations continue to take place. You'll be pleased to know that the cliffhanger we ended on will continue into S2!

NINE PERFECT STRANGERS

Hulu Originals

Hulu

Nine Perfect Strangers is back with S2 and the wait was worth it without a doubt! We find ourselves back with the complicated, dedicated and extremely controversial wellness founder Masha Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman) who continues to push the envelope of getting people well with her program that pushes her clients to their liimt - but at what cost.

We pick up from S1 with her exodus as she is on the run in terms of practicing in her own facility and she has taken her show on the road to another place outside of the US to continue her work. We are introduced to new people eager to work with her and as was the case from the previous season, seeing the common connections that exist within a group of people who appear to be very disconnected from one another.

DEATH COUNTY PA

Wondery

Spotify

Over the past few weeks, we have been gripped by Death County, PA - Wondery's true crime podcast that introduces us to Lamont Jones who finally leaves the Dauphin County Prison for the last time as a free man who is willing to live his life. While he is looking ahead to his future, he finds out that his nephew who is also serving time, dies in the same jail and that the circumstances of his death is not only a mystery, but one that has happened before in the same system. Lamont's need to find out what happened connects him with a TV show coroner who claims that he does his work as a means to speak for the dead and to hold those in power accountable.

THE GENTLEMEN: A GUY RITCHIE SERIES

Netflix Originals

Netflix

We enjoy watching films or series from Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Sherlock Holmes franchise, The Gentlemen) as they're always action filled, have locations that draw you in, and the characters have interesting arcs that showcase the dualities that they navigate!

His latest series The Gentlemen follows this formula as we enter an an aristocratic world where a second born son inherits the family estate! This estate also comes with an enterprise that has no interest in leaving and that his brother, who feels that his birthright has been taken from him has his own issues that leaves him dealing with the underworld.

APPLES NEVER FALL

Peacock Original

Peacock

We had been waiting for Apples Never Fall which is a bestselling novel of the same name. If you are not familiar with Liane Moriarty's work, you need to read her novel Nine Perfect Strangers which is also a series on Hulu as well as Big Little Lies which is also an amazing series on HBO that we can't wait for an additional season as it appears to be in the works!

The books turned series are known for having incredible casts of notable actors. In this series, we get an intimate look at a family who is known for producing and facilitating elite tennis stars through their brand of excellence. They are adored by their community; however, their tennis excellence and social standing has cracks as we see how the family finds their place, we are privy tomurderous undertones, the importance of family, and what happens when we are forced to see our true selves when we are no longer playing the roles that we want others to see us as! This series is a perfect weekend binge whether it's all at one time or you opt to split it over a couple of days!

SHŌGUN: THE OFFICIAL PODCAST

FX

Spotify

If we have said it once, we'll continue to keep saying it! We love a companion podcast! We have been enjoying Shōgun which is set in Japan in 1600 where Lord Roshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) is fighting for his life while his enemies on the Council of Regents come together to ensure that he is no longer a threat to them.

But it is the arrival of a European ship that is found in a fishing village that upsets the balance of their plans which has war, passion, and power.

Shōgun The Official Podcast is hosted by Emily Yoshida who is also the show's staff writer. She talks with the creators, cast, and crew that bring the Sengoku Period to life in feudal Japan in a century-defining cival war. This podcast takes us behind that scenes as well as aligning it with historical references.
