A Netflix User's Guide to Feeling Better
I don’t know about you, but “these days” (read, pandemic times) when I sit down in front of the television, I want to watch something that makes me feel better. To escape the sadness and forever-ness of a world taken over by Covid.

Nostalgic
The wonders that were found in the wardrobe must now be hard to replace. From my sources I see many grownups look far and wide to replace what was once childhood wonder. Now their thoughts brimming with the horror seen on nightly news, or lived during some great sorrow. Most give up the idea that there will ever again be the feeling of joy brought by watching Harry Potter get his first letter to Hogwarts. As someone who loves magic and the wonders of "myth" it's obvious that many stopped looking for elves after the last lord of the rings movie. Yes, by adulthood most people seem to of given up watching movies that come from their own hearts interest. Eventually just giving in to watching whatever show on Tv or in theater that is most highly recommended by critics. No part of me is willing to say that this is the wrong way to find what show will steal your time but I think there might be a better way.

A christmas tale to a mini series
There is just something about Reece Whiterspoon that lights me up. On the outside, she’s got the appropriate, good girl look, but she often plays characters that have a bit of depth. In Four Christmases, she uncovers a more authentic version of herself. The movie is laid out in a Christmases of past like Ebenezer Scrooge. When we are able to view our lives and the different versions we could have explored, we are open to a whole new possibility of who we could be today. There is a comedy, and at times the almost too silly kind of comedy, that reminds me of the caramel that sticks to my teeth.

If this you would love that
I love TV. So I used to make determination on my type of day, date, buddies day, and or all three. For example, if it’s a buddy night which is 4 friends binge watching television. I would pick a series so it’s continuous. So my buddies fun night would never in. If it’s a date, than it would be a romantic comedy to lighten the mood. If it’s Halloween month, I would be ready to watch a horror movie or TV series.

Barney Stinson Fans Rejoice!
The How I Met Your Mother series created one of the most interesting characters in the history of television. The awesomely, always suited up bro named Barney Stinson captivated the hearts and minds of fans of the series. But he isn’t one of the most interesting characters because of his eye-catching, envious suits, his bro code or simply how awesome he is. He is one of the most interesting because he has a unique view of the world, specifically his cinematic tastes. Like many people, Barney was a fan of the hit nostalgia classic movie The Karate Kid. Unlike most people, however, Barney’s karate kid wasn’t Daniel LaRusso. The star of the movie in Barney’s eyes was Johnny Lawrence. If you happen to agree with Barney, then I have some great news for you. You can stop searching the depths of Netflix for your next series because I’ve got two words for you: Cobra Kai.

Singing Their Hearts Out: Watch This Show If You're Missing Julie and the Phantoms
I don't know if Netflix expected Julie and the Phantoms to become such a hit when it premiered on the streaming service in the fourth quarter of 2020. Helmed by acclaimed director (and choreographer) Kenny Ortega of High School Musical and Descendants fame, the show was based off a popular Brazilian series that showcased a talented young singer-songwriter and her three ghostly bandmates. The Netflix version is not too off the mark with each episode clocking in at about a half-hour over its first season of nine episodes. The eponymous Julie is joined by her three phantoms Luke, Alex, and Reggie—all of whom have vibrant personalities that mesh well with each other as they interact together and with Julie. Their antics on- and off-stage manage to be engaging and uplifting as they navigate their performances (usually at least one an episode) and their existential crises of the waiting afterlife.

Stalking in the Name of Love
I love to binge watch a great series! What qualifies a series to be binge worthy? Well, several factors come to mind! Suspense, unforeseen plot twists, not to mention a fascinating story line will hold my attention hostage. Dirty John did qualify, as I was hooked once watching the first episode. Created by Alexander Cunningham and centered around the life of John Meehan and Debra Newell. The show is based on a true story and illustrates the pitfalls of a love gone wrong. When curled up on my couch after a long week, I will read a brief description of the series or show before proceeding forward. Key words such as mystery, psychological thriller, strength, resilience, may activate my curiosity. Dirty John is a show that illustrates a man of many masks, who utilizes love to gain access. Deception, the foundation of this relationship enabled Debra the main target to become susceptible. Enthralled by John’s charms and consumed by innate desires for romance and love; Debra and family were propelled into a world of illusions. Dirty John introduced himself as a doctor and was not afraid to play dress up on their first date. Showing up late in scrubs and utilizing surgery as an excuse, initiated a windfall of upcoming lies. However, his dirty fingernails went unnoticed and served as one of many red flags. Dirty John, a con man preying on women with money, viewed Debra as an opportunity. This series covers quite a few themes surrounding trust, self worth, and discernment. Love, despite its infinite expressions, is utilized as a front in this case. Hence, enabling Dirty John to carry out his sordid intentions towards Debra.
