When I was sick I gave myself permission to binge through the latest season of Emily in Paris which continues to be trash but entertaining trash. I also cranked through the sweet Heartstopper. I typically save half-hour streaming comedies for when I exercise with my in-apartment bike pedals. Once I got that back in action I wrapped up the final season of Derry Girls, which was definitely a fun series. And a few new things hitting the radar.
