7 Shows To Stream This Fall For A Cozy, Fun, Or Spooky Night In

It’s that time of year again when the weather has cooled and a night snuggled up on the couch sounds more appealing than ever. Maybe you want to enjoy a nice glass of wine, or something hot to drink or perhaps you are looking for viewing options on one of your many streaming services.

There are never-ending options of movies and series to watch if you have the time but if you want some help narrowing down where to start this fall, I have my picks for you. A few are family and others not so much, but all are entertaining and worth a watch. So here’s my list of shows to stream this fall.

7 Shows To Stream This Fall

Bodies

Four detectives in four different time periods of London find themselves investigating the same murder. - IMDB

You will be intrigued by the mystery and the how and why but you need to pay attention to keep track of timelines and investigations. Categorized as crime, drama, and history, Bodies, a limited series, is now streaming on Netflix.

The Fall of The House of Usher

To secure their fortune (and future) two ruthless siblings build a family dynasty that begins to crumble when their heirs mysteriously die, one by one. - IMDB

This Edgar Allan Poe-inspired series is dark, spooky, and sexy. With a strong supernatural element, each episode is named after and closely aligns with a Poe tale. For Poe fans, like myself, you will be intrigued by how each story is woven and connected to his classic work. Categorized as drama, horror, and mystery, you can watch all ten episodes of The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix.

The Morning Show

An inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning, exploring the unique challenges faced by the team. - IMDB

Season 3 just dropped on Apple TV and it does not disappoint. This show is binge-worthy, fun, and completely over the top in some of the best ways. The Morning Show is streaming now on Apple TV.

Goosebumps

A group of five high schoolers unleash supernatural forces upon their town. Now, they must work together in order to save it. - IMDB

Based on R.L. Steins work, this family-friendly spooky viewing. Categorized as adventure, comedy, and fantasy, Goosebumps can be watched on both Hulu and Disney Plus.

The Wheel of Time

Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it, a woman named Moiraine crosses paths with five young men and women. This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Based on the book series by Robert Jordan. - IMDB

Season 2 recently premiered after a nearly two-year wait, and it was worth it. It is beautifully shot, and action-packed. We meet new characters, both heroes and villains, and learn more about the world created by Jordan. Seasons one and two are available to watch on Amazon Prime.

The Golden Bachelor

Follow a new kind of love for the golden years, when a hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life. - IMDB

Yes, I know, this seems like an odd choice to be on this list but I just really enjoyed this show. It’s fun and sweet, and quite surprising. I highly recommend you give it a watch on Hulu.

The Midnight Club

The Midnight Club follows an octet of terminally ill teenage patients at Brightcliffe Hospice as they gather at midnight to share scary stories. - IMDB

Created by Mike Flanagan, the writer behind the Tha Haunting of Hill House and Black Mass. This is a dark show, for several reasons, and full of jump scares. You can watch all 10 episodes on Netflix.

I hope you enjoy my recommendations. Happy Fall watching!

Here’s What You Need To Watch In March

The great thing about streaming services is that there are endless options for movies and shows to watch. Whatever your mood, you have options. You want romantic, they got it. High drama, no problem. And of course, the dark and mysterious or chills and thrills are always an option.

Most of the shows on this list can be found on Netflix, but Apple TV, Hulu, and Amazon also have some great offerings. Here are my viewing picks for March.

Truth Be Told - Apple TV

A true-crime podcaster tries to solve the mystery surrounding a family patriarch's death. - IMBD

Starring Octavia Spencer, each season follows podcaster Poppy as she tries to solve a new mystery. There are currently three seasons of Truth Be Told available on Apple TV.

I have really been enjoying this show. Poppy is a meddler but aren’t all fictional mystery solvers?

You - Netflix

A dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by. - IMDB

Crazy Joe is back and as usual, he cannot seem to stay away from murders. All four seasons of You are available on Netflix. If you enjoy sexy, dark suspense you will not be disappointed.

Firefly Lane - Netflix

Tully and Kate support each other through good times and bad with an unbreakable bond that carries them from their teens to their forties. - IMDB

These two besties are complete opposites but have a wonderful sisterhood. Season two is now available on Netflix.

Jack Ryan - Amazon

Up-and-coming CIA analyst, Jack Ryan, is thrust into dangerous field assignments. - IMDB

Whether it’s Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, or John Krasinski, I love the Jack Ryan character. Amazon’s Jack Ryan series now has three seasons

This is a great, action-packed show, filled with nail-biting moments, and suspicions of everyone. I highly recommend it if you enjoy espionage-type drama.

Accused - Fox/Hulu

Chronicles ordinary people getting caught up in extraordinary situations, where one wrong turn leads to another until it's too late to turn back. - IMDB

Anthologies are great. Accused in particular, is unique because each episode starts off with the main character already in custody and facing a trial. The episode shows you how they got there and boy are there some twists and turns. The episodes do not wrap up nice and tidy but instead leave you wanting to know more, and asking, “what happened next?”

Will Trent ABC/Hulu

Special Agent Will Trent was abandoned at birth and endured a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta's overwhelmed foster care system. Determined to make sure no one feels as he did, he now has the highest clearance rate. - IMDB

Based on a book series, Will Trent is my new favorite show. Will is quirky, but still very likable, and kind of sexy. The character is very intriguing and so are his relationships with his on-again-off-again girlfriend and his new partner.

Somewhat procedural but it is worth a watch.

Dead To Me - Netflix

A series about a powerful friendship that blossoms between a tightly wound widow and a free spirit with a shocking secret. - IMDB

The Final Season of Dead To Mean premiered a few months ago but it is such a fun, dark, and touching show, I had to plug it. Christina Applegate and Linda Carellini are great together and represent an amazing display of friendship and sisterhood.

There are always so many viewing choices when it comes to network television and streaming services but I am here to help you narrow down your search for quality television watching. Enjoy!

Here's Your Fall 2021 Watch List For Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV

Fall is almost here. The weather will soon start cooling and the days will get shorter.

What to do when you just want to veg out on the couch or in bed? Binge-watch great shows are my suggestion. There are so many things to watch for sure. Too many choices almost, but I have six shows I recommend for this fall to keep you entertained as your fall hibernation begins.

My recommendations are See, Nine Perfect Strangers, Clickbait, Only Murders In The Building, and You. The shows can all be found on Apple TV, Hulu, and Netflix. Apple TV and Hulu release new episodes weekly but Netflix allows the full binge experience.

See Season 2

“Far in a dystopian future, the human race has lost the sense of sight, and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt, and to survive. All of that is challenged when a set of twins are born with sight.” - IMBD

There are now two great seasons of See to binge watch. Season 1 introduces us to Baba, his wife, and their sighted twin children. In a world where sight is looked upon as witchcraft and is illegal, Baba will do anything to protect his children.

Season 2 picks up right where season one left off, and that’s with a new enemy for Baba (Jason Momoa), his brother played by Dave Bautista. New episodes are available each Friday on Apple TV.

Nine Perfect Strangers

“Nine stressed city dwellers visit a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation. The resort's director is a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies.” - IMDB

Nine Perfect Strangers is full of recognizable faces and names, which brings some comfort as you try to figure out where this story is trying to take you. I have to admit that after six episodes I still don’t know where this series is going but I don’t mind the journey.

New episodes premiere each Wednesday on Hulu.

Clickbait

When family man Nick Brewer is abducted in a crime with a sinister online twist, those closest to him race to uncover who is behind it and why.” - IMDB

With eight episodes total, Clickbait is completely binge-worthy. I literally binged this show in a day. With Netflix, they drop all episodes at once which is awesome! Each episode is centered around one particular character but with the goal of moving the story forward.

There are some issues with the plot for sure but at the end of the series, I was still happy I watched. And honestly, there are some takeaways and lessons to be learned as well. Clickbait can be viewed now on Netflix.

Only Murders In The Building

“Three strangers who share an obsession with true crime suddenly find themselves caught up in one.” - IMDB

Only Murders In The Building is undeniably quirky and weird, but of course, it would be with Steve Martin and Martin Short, but I am still invested in figuring out the whodunit of it all. There are actually two murders to solve, one from the past and one from the present.

I for one cannot wait to see how it all plays out. New episodes premiere each Wednesday on Hulu.

You Season 3

“A dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by.” - IMBD

The much anticipated season three of “You” premieres on Netflix on October 15th. So if you need a refresher or haven’t watched the previous two seasons, you have time.

Joe and Love are starting a new life together and it’s looking like there is someone new to obsess about. Who is the mystery lady we glimpsed at the end of season two? We shall see. I’m ready for it.

Truth Be Told

“A true-crime podcaster tries to solve the mystery surrounding a family patriarch's death.” - IMDB

Although season one of Truth Be Told premiered a couple of years ago, I only recently watched season one. I was instantly hooked, as I am a fan of true-crime podcasts and can relate to the intrigue they create. True crime stories bring out the sleuth in all of us.

Season 2 of Truth Be Told recently dropped with a new mystery to solve and this one is closer to home for the lead Poppy. New episodes premiere on Thursday on Apple TV.

I think I have given you all some great choices of shows to binge watch across several streaming services. They are not documentaries or going to change the world but they serve their purpose. They entertain. Please give one or all a watch and come back and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
