This Week’s Binge 7.31.20

So weekly TV has come back and there have been some good things to watch.  I may not have binged much, but I am up to date on all my weekly shows.

• Real Housewives of Beverly Hills | What was teased for a long time is finally playing out on screen.  It’s so surprising to me that people think they can come on reality TV and keep parts of their lives a secret.  I’m not going to say who I think is telling the truth, but whomever it is, the truth will come out.
• Real Housewives of New York City | All I have to say is that I think Leah is having the best first season that I’ve ever seen.  So good.
• Perry Mason | Brand new series and I’m up to speed…I’m not going to review until I’m finished but it is one I’ve been watching every week.

I May Destroy You

HBO

I’m not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t this.  #1 – didn’t realize this takes place in England; for some reason thought it was U.S.-based.  #2 – thought it was a mystery trying to find the person who committed sexual assault; it’s so much more than that.

Michaela Coel, the creator and lead actress, humanizes sexual assault in a way I don’t think we’ve seen before.  She gives an inside look at what a survivor goes through, and also questions what defines assault.  Spoiler…assault can take shape in many forms.

I May Destroy You brings to light a really important conversation to be had, and it’s one we all should be having.

At the Bar Podcast

Lindsay Silberman & Kristin Smith

Co-hosted by one of my favorite bloggers, this is a new podcast by two best friends that manage to tackle serious topics in not a serious way.  Each episode is super digestible at around 30 minutes and in typical Lindsay Silberman style is no-BS.

Lindsay and her BFF Kristin created this podcast to highlight current issues and give tangible advice on how we can make a change.  And since they are real-life BFF’s the conversation is so natural and easy to listen to.
