Happy Monday!
I have so many outstanding options this week for you.
My episodes this week will include an interview with the author of the oral history of Real Housewives (and my friend) Dave Quinn, and with Heather Gay from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Listen here.
The Bachelorette (ABC) premieres with Michelle Young as the 18th bachelorette. She’s a seemingly normal person who asked the producers to film during the summer so she could still go back to her teaching job. Tell me one other lead that would do that, and you can’t because none of them would have done so. (October 19)
Winter House (Bravo) is like Real World meets Netflix’s Friends from College, with some of Bravo’s Summer House and Southern Charm cast members and their friends. I really liked it, and I think you will too. (October 20)
Found (Netflix) This one is right up my alley. After DNA tests reveal them to be cousins, three girls adopted by different American families travel to China in hopes of meeting their birth parents. (October 20)
Four Hours at the Capitol (HBO) is heartbreaking, and a must watch. This documentary features never-before-seen footage and vivid first-hand accounts from lawmakers, staffers, police officers, protesters, and rioters who stormed the Capitol building where the electoral votes were being counted. One of my best friend’s husbands is a Capitol Hill cop, and we talked throughout that day. This one was pretty personal, but such an important story to tell. (October 20)
Introducing, Selma Blair (Discovery+) follows the actress as she reckons with the next chapter of her life after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. (October 21)
Home Sweet Home (NBC) Ava DuVernay produces this NBC’s unscripted series designed to connect a pair of families from diverging backgrounds. Each hourlong episode will follow those families as they essentially try to live the other’s life, encountering different perceptions of race, gender, identity, and faith. These life swaps close out with a conversation between both families as they talk openly about what they’ve experienced along the way. (October 15)
The Velvet Underground (Apple TV) This Todd Haynes-directed film charts the band's success from the streets of New York City to being the sound of the burgeoning experimental art scene movement of the 1960s. (October 22)
Happy watching!
