The One Where You Tell Me What to Watch Next

Okay, friends. Here's the thing. I would almost ALWAYS choose a book over watching any sort of show or movie. I didn't grow up with cable TV, so I didn't watch any of the things my peers did throughout childhood, and even when we got cable in high school, I hardly watched much.

I made it more of a goal throughout college and these last few years to "catch up" and have a handful of on-air I still consistently watch and some all-time favorites I revisit periodically, but I know there's SO MUCH MORE out there to be discovered. I'm trying to become more of a watcher of things, and stretch myself beyond what I'd normally gravitate to (as you can see, there are some themes among what I've watched and liked...) but want to make sure things are worth the investment first!

This is where you come in!

Here's what I'm thinking:

I'll tell you everything I've watched and loved (and maybe even some things I've watched and hated), and you tell me what you think I MUST watch next. Deal?

I don't have cable, so unless I can watch it online, current shows won't really work. I have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, so anything found on any of those is fair game! 

In general, I like things on the lighter side (nothing too scary, super intense, graphic, violent, etc) and with characters I can really connect with and love. I often don't find comedy things funny (I'm weird) so that category can be hit or miss for me.

Can't wait to hear what you all recommend!
