Hey, {{first_name | friend}}!
I recently finished His & Hers on Netflix. Not a home run overall, but the twists genuinely caught me off guard, which is always fun. It got me thinking about how much I love a good limited series. It’s the sweet spot between a 2-hour movie and a 6-season hostage situation where you’re still watching out of obligation, long after losing interest.
We’ve had a stellar run of limited series lately, and another highly-anticipated one drops this week. Plus, some returning favorites and a nature documentary in honor of Earth Day. Let’s get into it.
Yours,

Grab one of the resort's vintage cruiser bikes and the city is yours to explore—mid-century architecture, art galleries, casinos, clubs, and a walkable stretch of restaurants all within easy reach. Back at the resort, a temperature-controlled pool, spa treatments, and a fire pit are waiting.
