The Honeymoon Stand Up Special Netflix Original
Married (and expecting) comedians Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher take the stage for this unique special. They each do their own half-hour, then they come together to roast give advice to couples on love and life. It’s fun to hear their different takes on their marriage and becoming parents. And what I really liked is they don’t do the same old tired jokes about impending parenthood. They are both already hilarious on their own, but when they come together for the Couples Roast they really shine.
Mercury 13 Netflix Original
In the late 50s and early 60s, there was an incredible urgency to conquer space. This film tells the remarkable story of the women who were tested for spaceflight but were denied because of their gender. They were all pilots and they endured the same physical and psychological tests as the men NASA selected as astronauts. In some cases, they outperformed the men yet they were still turned away. It’s a compelling tale. These women were truly ahead of their time.
How to Get Away With Murder: Season 4
This is your totally bingeable pick. Oscar- and Tony-winning actress Viola Davis stars in this smash hit show as a tough law professor who is also a criminal defense attorney. Each year she picks an elite group of students to work at her firm and help her with her cases. But the students soon find out there is more to the job than filing and running errands. Dark secrets are everywhere.
Charité Netflix Original
This period series is a medical drama set in the late 19th century. A young woman must work as an assistant nurse to pay off her debts to the prestigious Charité hospital. As she works, she slowly befriends the talented doctors working there and learns firsthand how to treat the illnesses of the day. It has a very Downton Abbey feel.
