My Top Five Favorite Non-MCU TV Series

You all know how much I adore any and all things in the Marvel Universe. But this week, I wanted to share with you all and talk about some of my favorite non-Marvel related projects! Specifically TV shows. I never used to be a TV person. Especially if there were many seasons to catch up on, I would always get overwhelmed about having some much to binge! But over the past couple of years I have been slowly getting back into watching some shows. Here is a list of my absolute faves!

5. Parks and Recreation

Parks and Recreation is one of those shows that once I started watching, I couldn't stop! I was no longer scared of having so much to binge--I never wanted it to end! Every episode was so hilarious and I fell in love with all of the characters so quickly, especially with The Office style filming they had going on. I still regularly quote so many of the episodes even though I finished watching it a while ago. My personal favorite? When Andy sneezes and hits his head on the wall by accident, giving himself a concussion. Oh! Or when they rent the basketball court for Leslie's campaign, but forgot it was still a skating rink. And of course, the "Treat Yo-Self" episode. There are so many good ones. I'll have to have a rewatch soon just to see Lil' Sebastian again, hahah!

4. Only Murders in the Building

Okay, so Only Murders in the Building has been out for a couple of years now, but I didn't start watching it until a few weeks ago. Another one that I binged, this one in literally a week. It was SO good! The murder mystery aspect of the show makes it so interesting, especially the way they went about it with the three of them meeting because of listening to the same true crime podcast. I missed seeing Selena Gomez on screen, so it was so much fun to have her back for this series, and Steve Martin and Martin Short's characters are both so interesting. I love the concept of the entire story and how many twists and turns are in each episode. I'm so excited for Season 3!! Hopefully it'll be ready for this summer <3

3. Shrinking

For those of you who may not have heard of Shrinking before, it is a new show that came to Apple TV a month or so ago! The first season has dropped, and I am patiently awaiting the second season (which has already been confirmed!). The show stars Harrison Ford and Jason Segel, who are both therapists. Jason Segel's character recently lost his wife, and he is dealing with his own grief as he helps his clients in some pretty unique ways. Don't let my synopsis fool you though--this is a comedy show! Every episode is filled with so many reasons to laugh, and is so heartfelt as well. I cannot wait for the next season, it has quickly become one of my all-time favorites!

2. Ted Lasso

You already KNOW how much I adore this show! Ted Lasso has quickly become a favorite in my household. It is easily one of the highlights of my Wednesdays. I didn't expect to like this originally--a show about soccer (or, football, since it's in the UK)? I'm not a huge sports person, so I wasn't sure if I was gonna like this one. But oh my gosh you guys, by episode 3 I was HOOKED. The characters are so lovable and Ted is so funny. I love getting to watch them slowly work together to bond as a team, and I can't wait for another Ted Lasso episode this week!

1. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

By far one of my favorite shows in the entire world is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Absolutely EVERYTHING in this show makes it my favorite. The fashion, the music, the plot. The way the camera shots are. It's like watching a live stage play, but on your screen. And the jokes are so funny. Susie and Midge are hilarious, and I am so sad that this show is in its last season right now. Getting to watch Midge's rise to fame as a comedy star has been so wonderful. I think I'm due for a rewatch of the whole series after this season is finished being released.

Do you watch any of these shows? And if so, which one is your favorite? Leave a comment below, or DM me on Insta! I would love to hear your thoughts!
