Summer has a funny way of slowing things down. Maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s the long, sun-drenched days—but I always feel a little more laid-back during these months. Even with my business to run, there are afternoons when it’s just too hot to be productive. That’s when I give myself permission to unwind and indulge in some good old-fashioned screen time.
I’m not a big daytime TV watcher, but in the evenings? That’s my time to relax. If you’re looking for something cozy, captivating, or just downright entertaining to watch while escaping the summer heat, here are a few of my personal favorites:
🍸 My Go-To Comfort Show: Mad Men
If there’s one show I watch on repeat, it’s Mad Men. There’s something about the mood, the aesthetic, and the character depth that pulls me in every time. It’s stylish, complex, and for me—totally rewatchable. I can put it on in the background or get completely absorbed in it. Definitely my number one binge pick.
🕵️♀️ Currently Watching: The Better Sister
I just started The Better Sister and it’s proving to be a total page-turner (or should I say screen-turner?). It’s twisty and intriguing—perfect for when I’m in the mood for a new story but still want that mystery vibe I love.
🎥 Favorite Movies to Rewatch
When I’m in the mood for a classic movie night, I gravitate toward mystery and suspense.
The Others (haunting and beautifully done)
Rear Window (the original—because you can’t beat Hitchcock)
I love old-fashioned thrillers that keep you guessing without over-the-top effects.
🏡 When I Want Wholesome Comfort
There are days when I just want something soft and nostalgic—especially after a stressful day. My wholesome picks:
The Waltons
Little House on the Prairie
Sometimes it’s nice to unplug from modern life and sink into simple, feel-good storytelling.
