Theo of Golden

Warm, life-affirming, and a little magical, Theo of Golden has quickly become a phenomenon. When Theo, a mysterious stranger, arrives in a small Southern town, he sparks unexpected connections and quiet miracles.
Dear Debbie

If you’re in the mood for a twisty, darkly funny page-turner, Dear Debbie is a must. When an advice columnist snaps, the result is equal parts wicked and entertaining.

Shows to Transport You to a Summer in the City
Less into sandy beaches and sparkling waters? We get it. These shows romanticize a sweltering day in the city.
I Love LA
Streaming on HBO Max
Given Los Angeles’ year-round sunshine, Rachel Sennott and friends could be bopping around during the winter months, and we’d wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. This funny and cringeworthy ensemble comedy is one to watch.
High Fidelity
Streaming on Hulu
Zoë Kravitz took over for John Cusack in the gender-flipped TV adaptation of the cult classic movie (and book). Set in sunny Brooklyn, this one-season wonder is very much worth watching despite its cancellation.
