Where’s the Remote at?
Raise your hand if you have Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, or Amazon Prime (or all of them). I see those virtual hands being raised because there’s no way (unless you’re an old person who just needs CNN or Fox News to be happy), you don’t have at least one.
We all love TV and tend to put on our favorite TV show and sit back and relax on the couch, especially after a long day. Sitting down and tuning into our favorite drama or sitcom is the best way to unwind and settle before going to bed. We can even call it self-care 😉
Can’t think of what to watch next? That’s what I’m here for – to recommend some shows you haven’t watched or might want to re-watch! Time to get to vibing with a new program (I sound like an old lady, I know) that tickles your fancy!
Cheabae’s Top 10 TV Shows to Watch or Rewatch
- One Tree Hill (Hulu) – the perfect drama (my all time favorite) if you love small-town vibes, sibling rivalry, love triangles…all the teen soap tea in one show. I recommend watching it with your closest gal pals next time ya’ll get together! With characters like dreamy writer; Lucas Scott, sassy and funny; Brooke Davis, or tough and artistic; Peyton Sawyer, you won’t be disappointed.
- Cobra Kai (Netflix) – No Mercy! If you loved the original Karate Kid movies, well…this one’s for you then! Danielle LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence are back at it, rivaling against each other with their competing karate dojos. It’s a must-watch with your family, and you can easily finish a season within a day or two with a total of 3 seasons to check out!
- WandaVision (Disney Plus) – Calling all Marvel fans! With a total of 9 episodes so far, you can expect the mini series to keep you on the edge of your seat! Set three weeks after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Wanda and Vision are living their best lives in the charming, suburban town of Westview, NJ while they keep their powers hidden from neighbors and friends. As each decade passes in their dreamy sitcom-like atmosphere, things begin to unravel, showing it’s not all fun and games for the couple.
- Dawson’s Creek (Hulu and Netflix) – *Sings I don’t want to wait for my life to be over (real loud).* Brief overview: A wannabe filmmaker and his friends, explore and try to find more of themselves in the late 90s to early 2000s in the lovely town of Capeside. It’s the perfect coming of age show that is certain to make you laugh and cry and have you rooting for Pacey and Joey to end up together and for Dawson to become a successful film director, making his role model; Stephen Spielberg, proud.
- Beverly Hills 90210 (Hulu) – Donna Martin graduates! Brenda, Brandon, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, Steve, and David, a.k.a., the West Beverly gang, provide you with drama, 90s vibes, and shopping on Rodeo Drive. The main focus is rich teens who deal with relationships, rape, drugs, teen pregnancy, racism… all the heavy topics in one place. Believe it or not, you can learn valuable life lessons with characters we love and hate, making for the perfect show to binge-watch the next chance you get.
- Glee (Netflix) – if you love endless singing/musicals… Will Schuester, Sue Sylvester, and all the members of glee club will entertain you with all your favorite songs and high school drama along the way. Expect to hear the classics (“Don’t Stop Believing” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”) to some Britney Spears tunes and other popular jams from 2009 – 2015. One minute Rachel Berry is stealing the show and the next, Sue is doing everything she can to destroy the glee club. Never a dull moment at William McKinley High School!
- Good Girls (Netflix) – A crime-comedy drama with four seasons, three besties (two being sisters) who struggle to make ends meet and need money fast, rob a supermarket where one of them, Annie, works at. First, they rob the supermarket and then before they realize it, they’re in way too deep and working for crime boss; Rio, making money and fearing for their lives at the same time. Three suburban moms living a life of crime… yeah, I think you can definitely call the plot original and far from boring!
- Imposters (Netflix) – You have con artist, Maddie, and her squad, Sally and Max, working for “the doctor,” who go around lying and stealing money (including hearts) from the rich and splitting the profits. When three former victims, Ezra, Richard, and Jules decide to get even and track the scammers down, THE DRAMA UNFOLDS. No joke, Maddie spends months of trickery with a fake name (sometimes a fake accent), different hairstyle and personality, and so forth, and breaks her victim’s hearts when they least expect it, with a cruel goodbye message and all their money 110% gone (with Sally and Max’s assistance, of course). Sadly, there’s only two seasons of this incredible, edge of your seat kind of show, but it’s still absolutely worth checking out (thanks, Lydia for recommending it)!
- Firefly Lane (Netflix) – Katherine Heigl (need I say more) takes the lead role in a story about two best friends and how they navigate through the ups and downs of life from their teen years in the 1970s all the way through to their adulthood in the early- 2000s. Based off the book (same name), written by Kristin Hannah, you’ll appreciate Tully’s (played by Katherine Heigl) spunky and outgoing personality and adore Kate’s sweet demeanor and quirkiness. Ten episodes of tears and laughter (more to come), you’ll LOVE every second of it along with hearing classic songs like “Dancing Queen,” “Love is a Battlefield,” and “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” in each episode.
- Gilmore Girls (Netflix) – Coffee and Gilmore Girls, yes, please!!! WE ALL WISH WE HAD A TOWN LIKE STARS HOLLOW (everybody knows your name, and Luke’s Diner is the place to be ). A cute show with mother-daughter goals for sure! You’ll love Lorelai and Rory and their quirky personalities and the tight bond they share, along with Luke, Kurt, Taylor, the rest of the town, and of course, Rory’s grandparents. So much laughter and speed talking (they all drink too much coffee) in one place and endless shenanigans- a must-watch for comic relief with fun, goofy characters.
Now that you have some shows to check out, go ahead and choose one from the list and cozy up on the couch with your favorite blanket. And, eat some popcorn while you’re at it!
