Here are a few shows that I’ve been watching over the past couple of months that I think you’ll like. I hope you enjoy!
- Euphoria
Now just a fair warning, Euphoria is not for everyone. It contains graphic scenes such as nudity and drug use. Viewer discretion is advised!!!! One of the things I love about the show is that it’s completely authentic. Even though it may be considered raunchy, it’s real. It perfectly encapsulates what a drug user goes through, how they affect the people around them, why they continue to use and what causes them to use. Euphoria handles a vase majority of topics such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, family issues, sexual orientation, and toxic masculinity. The main character Rue, who is played by Zendaya (A QUEEN) tries to find her place in the world after OD-ing and being sent to rehab. She faces a multitude of adversities during the show and we get to see insight into not only her story, but other character’s stories through her narration. The cinematography is amazing and the character development is a 10/10… which is also what I rate this show!
Rating: 10/10
- YOU
YOU is a tv show on Netflix that has grown immensely popular within the past two years. The story is based on a man named Joe who lives in New York City. He comes across a woman named Guinevere ‘Beck’ who he falls head over heels in love with. However, this is not your average love story. He ends up stalking her to get to know her and win her over. This show is so creepy and will make you question your morality. The main character, Joe, is a villain who we shouldn’t root for, yet we continue to portray him as an “Anti-hero” simply because he does good deeds. Overall, the plot is enjoyable even though the characters may not be as likable as you hope they’d be. P.S! Some scenes may contain nudity and/or graphic imagery. Viewer discretion is advised.

- On My Block
This coming-of-age TV show is set in central Los Angeles. The main characters are four young teenagers who are starting their freshman year of high school. Their Community is full of drugs, violence, and gang activity. Throughout the story, They are learning how to stay together despite the obstacles that they face in their everyday lives. This show provides humorous elements as well as incorporating realistic examples of how kids in inner cities deal with crime and violence. It takes a couple of episodes to become fully invested in the show, but once you start, I promise, you won’t wanna stop watching.
Rating: 8.5/10
- The End Of The F***ing World
Alyssa and James are high school students who hate their life. Their home life causes them to connect and they then decide to run away together. On their journey, they do something that will change the course of their life forever. The characters have inner monologues in every episode, which I like because it helps you understand why they are the way they are and it further enhances their character development. This show is on the darker side, but still has that layer of Comedy that softens it up a bit.
Rating: 9/10
- 90 Day Fiance
This reality TV show is so light and fluffy compared to the rest of the shows on this list. 90 Day Fiance follows couples who have applied for the K1 Visa and have 90 days to get married to their partner or else their partner will have to move back to their country. This show is heavily scripted and unbelievably dramatic, but I live for it!! it’s interesting following different couples and their stories. Some of the storylines are goofy asf so if you need a laugh, watch the show.
