Episodes: 10 Ryan Murphy does it again. I wasn't so on board with reliving the salacious event that is the Monica Lewinsky scandal but I'm a sucker for a good limited series based on true events. I knew the main facts and players involved but seeing the dates and events being acted out was interesting. … Continue reading Impeachment: American Crime Story
Episodes: 6 So many actors, so much sepia, so much going on. You will watch episodes and then wonder what you're watching but it's only six episodes so just hang in there. It follows a guests and staff of a Hawaiian beach resort for a week. Like Lost with their violins, there is an excessive … Continue reading White Lotus

As a Christian, it will … Continue reading The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin
This is a multi-episode expose to different events/people of the sporting world and its past. Needless to say, it was phenomenal. The episodes include Caitlin Jenner's decathlon, Christy Martin's boxing career, and the infamous squabble between the Pacers and Pistons in 2004. All episodes are well done and include all of the key players in … Continue reading Untold
Episodes: 8 The best advice would be to start watching this show without knowing anything about it. It's an all star cast going to a mysterious and luxurious spiritual retreat, complete with a crime. Do I have you intrigued? You can also see Nicole Kidman embrace her inner guru and (kinda terrible) Russian accent. Your … Continue reading Nine Perfect Strangers
