Transparent An Amazon Original Series
Transparent is an Amazon Original Series that was recently renewed for its 3rd season.
Transparent follows a Jewish Family who's lives are turned upside down when they learn that their father is transgender. Jeffrey Tambor plays Mora (Born Morton Pfefferman) who is a retired college professor of political science who is finally able to be her true authentic self. She's raised her kids, she had a successful career, shes been married but all as a man, and now she wants to be who she was meant to be.
But as she is finally living out her true self, her family is crumbling around her, and this is a story of overcoming hardships, overcoming the past, and trying to become the best version of yourself.
The whole cast is stunning, the story lines will tug at your heart strings, and in the end you might feel like your life is going pretty well compared to some of things that happen to these characters.
Sarah Pfefferman is played by Amy Landecker who is the oldest sibling. She is married and has two children. Things turn very complicated for her when someone from her past re-enters her life.
Jay Duplass plays Josh Pfefferman, the middle sibling. A successful music producer who has rough relations with the woman in his life.
And my favorite of the siblings is the youngest sibling, Ali, played by Gaby Hoffmann. She is a complete mess, and we get to see her try and go through life.
Shelly played by Judith Light, is Maura's ex-wife and the mother of Maura's children. She is struggling to keep the family together, and to patch up old wounds.
This show is like nothing else on TV-its funny, dramatic, inspiring, and is only available on Amazon Prime. So Check Out The Trailer And Clear Your Calendar because you are going to want to binge watch this show. Winner of numerous awards and a show not to be missed.

Jane The Virgin on the CW
Jane The Virgin is currently in its second season on The CW and is the show you should be watching!
The show stars Golden Globe winner Gina Rodriguez as Jane who just so happens to be a Virgin. Which is odd because she ends up having a baby. How might you ask? You should watch and find out!
This show is sexy, full of drama, and light comedy (mostly by Jane's Dad) who her mother has hidden from her for most of her life. Janes dad is a telenovela star who struggles to come back down to reality because he's such a star-at least in his head.
Jane finds herself in a love triangle, between two very sexy men, Rafeal played by the hot hot hot Justin Baldoni, who is a rich playboy who ends up owning his own hotel. One problem is he was married to a pretty horrible woman Petra played by the wonderful Azie Tesfai, and she is not going down with out a fight.
Jane is also engaged to Micheal who is a detective, and determined to bring down Rafeal.
Everything is complicated by Rafeal's family, because Rafeal's sister Dr. Luisa Alver is responsible for Jane's Pregnancy. How might you ask? You Should Watch and Find Out.
Jane The Virgin Season 1 is on Netflex, and the current season is running on the CW. This show is top notch television, and everyone of my friends who has watched it with my recommendation has loved it. 5/5 Stars.
And Spoiler Alert:
Britney Spears Makes A Great Cameo In Season 2.
Some of season 2 episodes are on HULU Click Here To Watch
If I still haven't convinced you check out the trailer for the first season.

Lucifer on FOX
Lucifer is a new show on Fox, which is a dark, sexy, and a bit odd. But there is nothing wrong that! The main character played by Tom Ellis, is what really makes the show. From his accent to his looks, I can't stop watching. Great casting, sexy cast, and a intriguing premise make quite the show!
The show focuses on Lucifer Morningstar who is played by Tom Ellis, who's is the Lord Of Hell, but is bored and unhappy playing that roll. He abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles where gets his kicks helping the police punish criminals.
In the opening episode, a young woman whom Lucifer once helped getting into show business-which proved as harmful to her as helpful-is murdered in his presence. Seeking to punish the person behind it, he imposes his assistance upon police officer Chloe Decker, whose resistance to his manipulative abilities intrigues him.
I am excited to see where this show goes, and hopefully it will just get better and better. The big question at hand is if the devil himself will see the good in the world and turn from evil to good. Lets see what happens! To catch up-you can watch the show on FOX or CLICK HERE
And if I haven't convinced you to tune in maybe the trailer will. CHECK OUT LUCIFER On Fox.

Zoe Ever After
Zoe Ever After is a new show on BET starring Grammy Award Winner -Brandy Norwood, who you might remember from the show Moesha and a little more recently on Dancing With the Stars-Movies-I still know what you did last summer and the songs Have You Ever (My personal favorite)-Full Moon-Right Here-Put it down-I wanna be down-The Boy is Mine with Monica. I am basically saying this girl has had a career and if you don't know her you should!
Brandy stars as Zoe, a newly divorced mom of one. Zoe is starting her own business and the show follows her journey of trying to find the balance of her old life with her new life. Her Ex-Husband is a famous boxer, and she struggles to get him out of her life and too move on to new men. The show is funny, cute, and Brandy kills it as Zoe. Its like watching Moesha all grown up. With a gay best friend and a girlfriend who bring in some major comic relief. Moesha has moved away from all of the old friends and family. Changed her name to Zoe and is doing her THANG.
I have to be honest I was scared to watch the show, because I didn't know what to expect. But I am happy I tuned in and you will be too! With each episode the show is getting better and better! Tune In to BET to catch this great new show!

Younger-TV Land
Younger is a TV-Land Original and has an amazing cast, the main character is Liza
Miller played by Sutton Foster who is in her 40’s and also recently
divorced. Her teenage daughter Caitlin
(Tessa Albertson) and is studying abroad in India.
We follow Liza on her journey of a newly single women who
wants to get back to what she was going to do before she became a
housewife. Which is to be in the
publishing. What she didn’t anticipate
was the ageism she would face, which made it impossible for her to get a job in
the industry.
She bumps into a handsome man named Josh, played by the sexy
Nico Tortorella and he believes that she around the same age as he is. Keep in mind he is 26. Liza goes along with the lie, and realizes
that she might be able to start career back up if she plays along and pretends
to be 26.
This works for a while and it seems like she has everything she
wanted, but when the second season starts, you really see how hard it is for
Liza to keep up the lie.
I love seeing Hilary Duff back on the screen, and she plays
one of Liza’s co-workers Kelsey Peters, who is an actual 26 year old. The relationship here has been built but on a
bed of lies, and you really see the opposite of what Liza was dealing with,
because Kelsey is fighting to be heard, and taken seriously. Because she so young, the people in the
industry do not take her seriously.
The show is produced by Darren Starr, The Creator of Sex and
The City and the writing is smart, funny, and the show just seems to be growing
episode by episode.
Younger has already been renewed for its 3rd
Season. Which is amazing and shows TV Land’s commitment to the program. They renewed the show for the 3rd
season, before even the first episode of the second season aired.
Younger is on TV Land CHECK IT OUT!
Here is the Trailer
Second Season
Also CHECK OUT Hilary Duff's New SONG Little Lies, which is used as the shows THEME TUNE for season 2!
This show is fun, sexy and one you should be watching. From the cast to the writing, there performance's are refreshing because its something different, and that's never a bad thing!
