Netflix

We've been a fan of YOU since the beginning and Season 4 drops this month for the first half of the season and the remainder will continue on Mar 9th! We continue to follow along with Joe (Penn Badgley) as he starts a new life as he tries to find love while also living the life that he feels he needs. After Season 3, we saw how he finally found a way to leave Love (Victoria Pedretti) and other portions of his life.

If you have yet to watch the previous seasons, you definitely need to binge these episodes. For those who are caught up, we won't spoil what takes place this season, but we meet an entirely new cast of characters and a few of Joe's ghosts! But true to Joe's ability to adapt in any environment, we see how he gets into a number of issues and finds ways to get out of it.

Not everyone who runs a town and has the ability to connect others in an official capacity. Mike McClusky (Jeremy Renner) was formerly incarcerated and since being out, has worked in his brother's business which helps those in the community to get things done when the proper channels aren't available to him. For those that have yet to see the 1st season or need to catch up, you'll see how Mike works whether it's interacting with Kingstown's gang groups, the police and more.

Mike is in constant fixer mode and in coming off of last season, there continues to be unrest as the city tries to heal itself and put order back on the table while also making peace with the gangs as well as those that are still in jail.

Although Mike always seems like he's moments ahead of everythign falling apart and on the cusp of deals falling through, he always finds a way to make things come together to fight another day. The Mayor of Kingstown is yet another Taylor Sheridan (1883, 1923, Sicario) series that much like Yellowstone's universe as well as Tulsa King, looks at the intersectionality of communities, the players who run things and the need to see who is on the verge of trying to become the one that grabs the power to create a new kind of order.

We love a good true crime story, it takes on another level when someone whose job it is to investigate crimes finds themselves in the midst of a scandal. In Stolen Hearts, we meet a police officer who falls in love with a man who treats her like royalty. It's only after she starts a family with him and meets his friends and enjoys his lavish lifestyle, where she learns that he's arrested for a robbery. In this podcast we hear how she learns about what he lied about, his real family and the implications of how this boyfriend has affected her job and has left her in a cloud of suspicion.

YOU

Netflix Original Series

Season 2 Premiers 12.26.19

Like many, we became fans of the stalker/ thriller YOU which began on Lifetime for its first season and starting on Dec 26th will continue as a Netflix Original Series. If you've yet to see the first season or need a quick refresh - we've got you. We meet Joe Goldberg (Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley), an owner of a bookstore in NYC who falls in love with a customer Guinevere Beck, (Elizabeth Lail) who becomes his girlfriend. We begin to see his increased stalking behavior as well as a number of things about his life to show that this is not his first time dancing with a deadly obsession. We also see how he interacts with her friends such as his relationship with Peach Salinger (Shay Mitchell).

We end the season realizing that his ex girlfriend Candace is alive and that he will be starting over in LA. We can't wait to do a proper binge of the second season during the holiday!

BLOODTIES

Wondery

We love when we listen to one show and we're given a heads up about another. As we transitioned from Thanksgiving to Christmas, we found out about Wondery's scripted show, Blood Ties a True Crime podcast where we meet Eleonore and Michael Richland (played by Gillian Jacobs and Josh Gad) as they find out that they have just lost their parents while they were on the way to seeing them for a visit.

The death of their parents is amplified when they realize that their world is forever changed and that the secrets of their successful father will not only come to light but ruin his legacy. As a renowned cardiologist and health care magnate whose sun is also a doctor, there is much at stake as they learn more about his life.

BACHELOR HAPPY HOUR

Bachelor Nation | Wondery

Spotify

Readers know that each season we enjoy tweeting along with you and giving our theories of who is going to Hometowns and who will be the winner of the next Bachelor/Bachelorette. Starting Jan 6th, ABC's The Bachelor is back with Peter Weber. This month, they have released this season's contestants so we can hit the ground running on this successful franchise.

This year, we're making sure that we listen to Bachelor Happy Hour, a podcast with Bachelor Nation and Wondery. Each week The Bachelorette's Rachel Lindsay (who is also host of MTV's Ghosted) gives insight onto what's happening in the house.

If you have yet to listen to the show or missed the latest episode, Rachel sat down with Becca (The Bachelorette) to talk about their first thoughts on the contestants that are entering The Bachelor. They also shared who they thought would have a good run in the house, who may not be there too long, Hometown selections and who will win ultimately. They also wondered about whether last season's The Bachelorette Hannah Brown, will come back to the house as well!

This is a great show to enjoy while you wait for new episodes of The Bachelor and to see who Rachel will have on as a guest as the season continues!
