Over the past couple of months, I’ve dipped into everything from emotional docuseries and twisty dramas to podcasts that made me laugh, cry, and question what’s real. Whether I was winding down with a cozy show, diving into a mind-bending story, or just letting a podcast play while I cleaned the kitchen, here’s what’s been on my screen (and in my ears) lately. Some hits, some surprises—definitely a few I can’t stop thinking about.

  1. Nonna’s was so cute! I really enjoyed the 4 seasons too; even if was much sadder at times than I anticipated.

  2. Oh, thank you, thank you…we are desperate for something to watch!! Nonnas was cute. We both enjoyed it. Will check out Four Seasons and the American Marriage show. Have been watching trials on YouTube but they are slow going at times. Was looking forward to the Kohberger trial but he agreed to a plea bargain today. Guilty as sin.
