2 . Four TV Shows to Watch on New Year's Eve
If you are finding yourself on New Year's Eve without any plans, or you just want to start the New Year with a show you haven't watched before, here are four great TV shows to stream. Click here.
Acapulco
Searching for light-hearted laughs and want a unique concept? Acapulco is the show for you. As we reported when the series first dropped, Acapulco follows the story of Maximo Gallardo, whose life changes when he starts working in a resort in Acapulco, Mexico. The series stars Julian Sedgwick, Rossana De Leon, Lobo Elias, Sofia Ruiz, and Eugenio Derbez.
The Shrink Next Door
This show will make you angry and anxious, but most brilliant shows do! The Shrink Next Door is based on true events that happened to a patient, Marty (Will Ferrell) who forms a close bond with his psychiatrist, one that the psychiatrist (Paul Rudd) took advantage of.
Ted Lasso Season 2
We have all heard about Ted Lasso, whether you've seen it or not. What are you waiting for? Stop being so stubborn and watch it! Ted Lasso is a gut-punch of emotions you won't see coming. It's a comedy and a silly one, but it doesn't pull any punches when it comes to hard-hitting topics such as mental health. And if you're searching for something that won't take all weekend, Ted Lasso is perfect!
See Season 2
I feel like See is a bit underrated (被低估的) and it truly shouldn’t be. The story is fun, as well as the action and characters, and season 2 does a great job at keeping us guessing and holding our interest. The world of See is set in a distant future in which humans have lost their sight after a virus swept the world. Humanity has adapted and having vision is only a myth.
