Bryan and I binged Hijack in one day, and I’m not gonna feel shame about that. I blame the chemo. When it ended I was like, “Did we just watch tv for seven hours straight?!” 😂

They got the formula down for this show. Insane!

great piece, Beth! I definitely want to check out Jury Duty. That’s high on my list. I gave up after one and a half episodes of After Party season 1. I just didn’t find it funny, despite many of my favorite actors being on the show. Unless the writers strike goes for another year, I likely won’t be watching season 2. And i made the mistake of putting on Hijack two nights ago around 11pm and couldn’t fall asleep for 3 hours! Sure, there are cliches aplenty but it sucked me right in! Now I know to watch it much earlier.

I completely understand the compulsion to keep watching Hijack even though it’s probably not the best show to watch prior to sleep. You have to give “The Afterparty” season 2 a try!

I just put The After Party on my watch list and now your rec has me even more anxious to start it.

Also, sick bingeing is special. I usually tend toward some kind of exposé kind of show - watched one of the Hillsong docs yesterday when I was feeling under the weather. But yeah, some kind of docuseries is my sick go-to.

Docuseries are made better when they are fictional imo. Yes watch The Afterparty s2 and tell me your thoughts!

Additional recommendations to explore, especially given the rainstorms on the East Coast today :) What better way to honor a rainy day than to hit the sofa and binge entertainment -

Only Murders in The Building - Season 3 Episodes 1 & 2 are now streaming on Hulu. I can't wait. Dark Winds, Season 2 - episode 2 which released on Sunday. It's a really fine entrant into the 70s crime noirs - very real and gritty and takes place on a remote outpost of the Navajo Nation.

Physical Season 3. First two episodes have already dropped and I need to get back on that wagon.
