So much to stream, so little time.
One of my must do’s over the holiday season will be to binge watch shows with my daughter. We got caught up on a few series last time she was home. We also watch those Hallmark holiday movies – they are a little silly but they do help set the holiday vibe for the next couple of months.
Here’s a few of the TV series I’m streaming:
1/ Shrinking – by the creators of Ted Lasso. The whole cast is fantastic, the sad/happy storylines very well written:
2/ Bad Sisters – Irish actors are phenomenal. If you’re a fan of black comedy, you’ll love this. I’m just getting caught up, as they’re releasing Season 2 episodes as we speak.
3/ The Diplomat – I’ve developed an obsession with Keri Russell, now that I found the Dear Felicity Podcast. She is such a wonderful actress. I still have to get to the Americans at some point.
The plan is to watch Felicity with my daughter – the four seasons cover four years of university. Like Felicity, I made a decision about post-secondary schooling based on a boy. Never a good practice. It worked out ok for me in the end (we did not stay together), but since we broke up during school, I do not have great memories of university.
It should be interesting to see if she enjoys the show as much as I did way back when.
Do you have any streaming recommendations? (Like a need more distractions to help me further procrastinate – I have major decluttering goals for end of the year…)
At a time 
I just started watching Bad Sisters recently, because I re-upped my AppleTV+ and it was at the top of the screen because the second season was coming out. I LOVE Sharon Horgan (have you ever seen Pulling? It’s amazing), and I’m loving Bad Sisters. I have a hard time watching because it can be stressful, and I’m bad at stressful TV, but I’m really enjoying it. I haven’t tried Shrinking Yet, but if I keep AppleTV+ for a bit I’ll give it try.

We love Shrinking, will have to give Bad Sisters a try. We watched season 1 of The Diplomat, but it didn’t keep our interest. Is the 2nd season better? I adore Allison Janney. Did you watch The Americans? My husband did, I kind of did but mostly looked at my computer while he watched. We just finished My Brilliant Friend on HBO (SO GOOD), and Industry (pretty good, but less good). I love to watch The Great British Baking Show.

We don’t watch shows on streaming. I’d like to watch Ted Lasso, but don’t have the right streaming thing. I keep wondering if it’ll come out on DVD. Maybe I can rent it from my library. I can get apple tv for free for a bit because I just got an iPhone. I’m hoping to do that over break, so I can watch something with my college kids. Thanks for the recommendations.

I really, really want to see the second season of The Diplomat, which means subscribing to Netflix. Something I plan on doing over the holidays too to catch up on binge watching.
