Thursday Movie Picks: Freshman Series 2019

Thursday Movie Picks is hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves. It is a weekly series where a theme is provided per week and participants list movies or television shows corresponding to the theme. Every last Thursday of the month is dedicated to television shows, which this week is about freshman series. I recently decided to track the amount of television shows I watch. There’s a lot of content coming out year per year that it tends to be overwhelming, especially if you like a certain show and would want to be updated when the new season is coming out. Last year I did watch a couple of the new shows - I think. Here are my picks this week.

Dollface - The show revolves around female friendship, as the main character finds herself dumped by a long time boyfriend and has found that she had no support system because she alienated them in lieu of her relationship. This had her regaining their trust and figuring out what being a true friend is about beyond being in a romantic relationship. I do wish this has a second season because the cast is amazing.

The Unicorn - This has a single father navigating the waters of dating a year after his wife’s death. His friends label him a ‘unicorn’ because of him being a single father. I think this show is still finding its footing, but it is possible for it to swerve away from its premise as it’s becoming more about the group of friends and less of dating.

Shrill - Shrill is a body positive show that the world needs today. It is about a woman who wants to improve herself by fully living herself without sticking to the norm, especially about what a woman's body type should be. I found it relatable, and I cannot wait to watch season 2.
