The Bagwell Team’s TV Show Recommendations

Keep reading to find out more about our favorite new shows, ranging from thrillers to sports documentaries. Hope you enjoy!
Evan’s Pick: Money Heist
Where to watch: Netflix
Genre: Thriller
With a robust cast combined with a thick plot line, this series follows along as an unusual group of robbers attempt to carry out the most perfect robbery in Spanish history: stealing 2.4 billion euros from the Royal Mint of Spain. **Viewer Discretion is advised**
Shannon’s Pick: Ozark
Where to watch: Netflix, Hulu
Genre: Drama
In a time where we are stuck inside looking at the same lovely faces every day, it is great to know that our friend Netflix knows exactly what I need to escape. Ozark is packed with lots of dark humor, excitement and corruption. In my opinion, each season is better than the last, so I encourage you to give it a fighting chance. If anything, Ruth’s crude, passive-aggressive character will entertain you along the way. Warning: If you are someone that enjoys movies with singing, dancing and frolicking in a field of daisies, this show is not for you. Also, if you do not want your children learning a new set of vocabulary words, it is best to keep them clear of this show too. Enjoy!
Johnna’s Picks: Little Fires Everywhere
Where to watch: Hulu
Genre: Drama
“Starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, Little Fires Everywhere follows the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. Based on Celeste Ng’s 2017 bestseller, the story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.” – Hulu
Johnna’s Picks: Mrs. America
Where to watch: Netflix, Hulu
Genre: Drama
Mrs. America is an dramatic American miniseries about the political movement that gave rise to the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.
Kyle’s Pick: Outer Banks
Where to watch: Netflix
Genre: Action
Great mix of action and mystery. Although there are many inconsistencies, it was based on our great state of North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Angie’s Picks: Dead to Me
Where to watch: Netflix
Genre: Dark Comedy, Drama
A hotheaded, heavy metal-loving real estate agent widow searches for the hit-and-run driver who mowed down her husband. At a grief group, she befriends an eccentric optimist who is not quite what she seems. This show is a thrill that keeps you guessing. Christina Applegate is marvelous, and Linda Cardellini does not disappoint.
Angie’s Picks: The Game Changers
Where to watch: Netflix
Genre: Sports Documentary
Meeting visionary scientists and top athletes, a UFC fighter embarks on a quest to find the optimal diet for human performance and health. The studies and science presented in this film made me rethink the way I eat and how I train for fitness. Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lewis Hamilton, James Wilks.
