You both have to watch Ghosts on Paramount+ would recommend they play pickle ball at one point in the shower and I was like oh so this is pickle ball 😂
My husband and I are rewatching lost because I never saw all of the seasons
The Witcher!
Shadow and bone Netflix This fool Hulu Panic prime Survivor paramount
Big Sky on Hulu is good. Alaska Daily is also another on I’ve been watching. Love you guys, I’ve even got MY husband listening to y’all❤️ I love it and he loves it🤣

You guys should watch sweet tooth on netflix if you havent seen it
I loved the first couple episodes of Dynasty of Netflix!! The last one wasn’t my fave but still good!
My boyfriend and I just binged a show called Why Women Kill it’s on Amazon video, only 2 seasons but so worth it!
Alice in Borderland!! -TV show recommendation
I love y’all’s podcast so much and it’s the only one i’ve found that i’ve loved. i listen to it on my way to school every other morning! I’m a junior in college at 18 studying criminal psychology and y’all’s podcast keeps me connected and motivated to help people like the ones in the stories y’all tell. I recommend looking into Grant Solomon’s case. The cops refuse to open a case but it’s more than likely that he was murdered by his father and this is very recent! His family has a lot to say about his death and some other related things! Much love - Victoria <3
Watch Black Bird on Apple TV and Yellow Jackets on Showtime!!!!! Those are my top two!
Garrett, have you seen Succession on HBO? The final season just started last night!
