What I’m Currently Watching on Hulu and Netflix

July 22, 2020 by Whitney 2 Comments

Shows to Watch on Hulu and Netflix

Along with my routine(s) and wardrobe, I’ve also changed what TV shows I watch. My main focus has been finding binge-worthy and light-hearted shows with a splash of drama. Nothing too heavy, too complicated, or too dark. I’m trying to laugh and enjoy as much as possible this season.

Since “being home,” I’ve been able to catch up on some of my favorite shows and become acquainted with some new ones. Back in May, I took advantage of the Netflix + Hulu + Disney+ package deal. For two TV-loving fanatics, this was a real treat for my husband and me. Plus, it’s gotten us closer to getting rid of cable.

Here are three of the shows I’ve been currently watching on Hulu and Netflix:

1. Insecure (Hulu + HBO)

I’m late to the party. I know. But thanks to Hulu, I could watch all four seasons of Insecure with a 7-day free HBO pass. I started watching on a Thursday and was done by the following Tuesday afternoon. I would’ve finished sooner, but I had to wait for my husband to watch. He became a fan of the show after episode three.

The show does a great job of exploring a friendship between two Black women, navigating through the murk and mere of everyday life. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two main characters, Issa and Molly, grow from season to season. My husband and I appreciated Issa’s obvious homage to the Black Los Angeles experience. And, thanks in large part to both musical geniuses Raphael Saadiq and Solange, the show features some delightful and refreshing musical content.

2. Greenleaf (Netflix + OWN)

I’ve been a fan of this show since its inception. The Greenleaf’s, a well-to-do Black family steeped in faith and plenty of mess, are trying desperately to hold onto their family home this season. With relationships ending and old flames back and up to no good, I’m glued to my seat week after week.

Lynn Whitfield’s character, Lady Mae, is definitely my favorite. Whitfield brings her A-game while portraying the role of Lady Mae, and her sly and cutting one-liners never disappoint. This show is a reminder that faith-filled churchgoers are still very human and imperfect, just like everyone else.

3. 90 Day Fiancé (Hulu + TLC)

My husband stumbled upon this show during one of his many Hulu scrolls. This reality television show follows couples who’ve applied for or received a K-1 visa. From there, they have 90 days to marry one another. The entire process and what these couples are willing to do and give up truly fascinates me. However, I believe some of these couples make less than smart decisions regarding “finding love.” All in all, the show is certainly entertaining.

I could’ve added so many other shows, but I wanted to keep this list short and sweet. I’ll be sure to share more of my favorites in upcoming posts. Let me know what you’ve been watching!

    I haven’t watched 90 Day fiancé. I may give that a try. I binged All American on Netflix. It’s the black version of 90210. I liked it a lot.

      90 Days will definitely have you laughing and shaking your head at the same time, lol! You’re the 2nd person to suggest All American. I’m going to start watching this weekend.
