After recovering from surgery, I did what any reasonable person would do—binge-watched an absurd amount of TV. In this episode, I’m breaking down my recent watchlist, from nostalgic teen dramas to crime shows I never thought I’d get into (*SVU, really??*), and of course, my many, many thoughts on *Squid Game* Season 2.

I talk about why character development is everything for me, how my opinions on certain shows (*looking at you, Seth Cohen*) have changed with time, and why I get way too emotionally invested in fictional people. If you love deep-diving into TV or just need something new to watch, you’re in the right place.

In This Episode:

- How I spent my recovery binge-watching my way through life

- Rewatching The O.C. and questioning all my past opinions

- Law & Order: SVU—how did I end up loving this?

- Squid Game Season 2—so many thoughts, so much frustration

- TV is basically therapy, and I have no regrets

If you’ve seen any of these shows, let’s talk. Did The O.C. actually age well? Do I need to start watching SVU in moderation? And what are we supposed to do with that Squid Game cliffhanger?

Listen now and let’s talk TV.
