TV Club August 2016: Mindy Project, Stranger Things, New Girl... oh my!

So, I do a monthly book club because I love reading books and I spend a lot of time doing so. Another thing I do that I love and I do a lot is watch TV a.k.a Netflix and Hulu! So, I decided since I love watching TV shows just as much as I love reading books, I decided to start a monthly TV club as well!

This month’s TV shows include Mindy Project, Stranger Things, and New Girl.

Mindy Project is an awesome show! If you love shows with really strong female characters, you will LOVE this one. I started watching Mindy Project when it premiered on Fox in 2012. It is a charming show about a female OBGYN, Mindy, who lives with her hilarious heart on her sleeve. Basically, Mindy and her fellow doctors and nurses have crazy relationship issues and life issues that get played out on the show in a fantastically, hilarious way. I fell in love right away with the witty humor and the crazy characters. After about two seasons, I either forgot about it or I no longer had cable after I moved out of the dorms at college so I stopped watching. Just this past month I started watching it again on Hulu; I binged watched season three and season four (which was the first Hulu original season.) Season three and four had so many twists and turns; I loved how they portrayed Mindy as an extremely, strong independent women in season four (I don’t want to give anything away.) Season 5 premieres on Hulu on October fourth! Yay!

Stranger Things is an amazing new Netflix original; it reminds me of American Horror Story a bit but with a little less horror. The Netflix original, Stranger Things, is a remake of the 1980’s series Stranger Things. It is based in 1983 Hawkins, Indiana where shit basically hits the fan. A young boy, Will, goes missing and his mom, Joyce, launched an investigation with the local sheriff. Will’s three best friends also launch their own investigation and end up discovering a very strange little girl with supernatural abilities. They all go on a journey to find Will and the story unravels with many unexpected mysteries. The whole season plays out the entire story; you must binge watch this if you decided it, so plan a whole day where you just watch it (just kidding…… but no seriously, do that.) I am not sure if Netflix will make a second season of the show but if they do I hope they make it like American Horror Story where the new season is a whole new storyline and set of characters but has a similar feel.

The last show of the month is NEW GIRL!! This is my favorite show of all time and not to mention Zoey Deschanel is my role model and she plays the lead in this show, Jess! I started watching this on Fox when it came out in 2011. It is about a rag-tag group of roommates who are hilarious and loveable. Jess, Nick, Winston, and Schmidt are all roommates in L.A. who are trying to adult just like the rest of us. Each episode has a new hilarious adventure which leads
to crazy happenings in the loft. There are beautiful love stories, funny situations from trying to adult, and heartfelt stories about realistic lives. It is all I want in a sitcom! This month I binged watched all of the seasons on Netflix and Hulu again! I absolutely LOVE this show and I cannot wait for the new season which comes out on Fox on September 20th!

Let me know if you have any suggestion for next month TV club!

XOXO,
