It’s Monday morning at the BrightSevens editorial meeting, which means two things are guaranteed: a fresh pot of coffee and a lot of spirited conversation about what we’re all bingeing. At this point, our informal “what are you watching?” chat is as vital as planning next month’s content calendar. It keeps us connected (and fills our downtime with excellent TV recommendations).

This week’s lineup? A mix of comedy, drama, reality TV chaos, and even something that made us all break into heated debates. Grab your remote and a cup of coffee, because here’s what the office crew can’t stop talking about.

1. “The Bear” (Hulu)

Editor-in-Chief Sarah: “Carmi Berzatto is the culinary genius we didn’t know we needed! Watching him juggle a makeshift kitchen crew, his family drama, and the pressure of running a chaotic restaurant had me on the edge of my seat. Tell me nothing else on TV captures stress like this.”

Deputy Editor James: “Are you kidding? I had to pause every five minutes just to breathe! But yeah, it’s great. The food shots alone made me want to quit my job and become a chef… until I remembered what Carmi goes through.”

Content Writer Alex: “Don’t sleep on the ensemble cast. Marcus’s cake montage in the second season? Instant goosebumps. The Bear is raw, hilarious, and a little too real for anyone who’s worked in a pressure-cooker environment.”

Why Watch: You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll probably need to order takeout. This award-winning drama is perfect for anyone missing a show with heart and hustle.

2. “Only Murders in the Building” (Hulu)

Social Media Manager Liv: “I mean, where else are you going to see Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez solve ridiculous apartment murders while starting a true crime podcast? It’s the cozy whodunit I didn’t know I needed.”

Assistant Editor Grace: “Yes, but the real MVP is Bunny’s wardrobe. Can we talk about the parade of brooches in Season 3? Iconic.”

Liv (rolling her eyes): “Yes, because her brooches are what made you watch…”

Editor-in-Chief Sarah: “Uh, if we’re being honest, I’m in it for Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep this season. Adding them to the cast... chef’s kiss!”

Why Watch: It’s funny, it’s charming, and it might just satisfy that inner detective in you. Perfect for curling up on the couch with a cup of tea.

3. “The Real Housewives of… Every City” (Bravo)

Grace: “Look, I don’t care what anyone says, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is art. The diamonds, the drama, the dinner parties that never end well? Perfection.”

James (rolling his eyes): “I’ll never understand how watching rich people scream at each other is entertaining.”

Liv: “Are you serious? It’s because they’re rich and screaming that it’s entertaining. RHONY (Real Housewives of New York for you newbies) is my go-to. There’s something about watching Countess Luann write another cringe-inducing cabaret song.”

Content Writer Alex: “How is Salt Lake City not the consensus here? Mormons, snow, and illegal telemarketing schemes. It’s chaos on another level.”

Why Watch: If you’re into drama mixed with luxury real estate and over-the-top lifestyles, the Housewives franchise has plenty to offer. Viewer discretion advised… you’ll get hooked.

4. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” (Prime Video)

Sarah: “If you didn’t already know I’m a sucker for teen drama, consider this my confession. The love triangle! The beach town setting! The angsty music! It feels like a warm, nostalgic hug from my youth.”

James: “Where do you find these shows, Sarah? The Summer I Turned Pretty made me feel like I was eavesdropping on a group of kids at the mall.”

Liv: “Don’t judge. The soundtrack alone is worth the watch. It’s a Taylor Swift-heavy masterpiece.”

Why Watch: Think summer flings, emotional growth, and a beach backdrop that makes you wish you owned a summer house. It’s feel-good escapism with a heart.

5. “Suits” (Netflix)

Alex: “Okay, how did we all collectively forget this show existed? I started watching it again because Netflix added it, and now I can’t stop. It has everything! Sharp dialogue, drama, and Meghan Markle before she was a royal.”

Grace: “But can we talk about Harvey? He’s like Gordon Ramsay without the restaurant tantrums. That man knows how to command a room.”

Sarah: “My husband actually jumped into this one with me. It’s so fun revisiting an oldie that feels fresh again.”

Why Watch: If you missed Suits the first time around, now is the perfect excuse to catch up. Perfectly bingeable with a side of wit and a whole lot of drama.

6. “Love Is Blind” (Netflix)

Liv: “The pods! The crazy reveals! The completely toxic relationships! Love Is Blind is peak reality TV, and I refuse to pretend otherwise.”

James: “Do you actually like any of these people, or is this just about watching the dumpster fire?”

Grace: “It’s kind of both? You tune in because you’re curious, and then you stay because of the chaos. It’s the reality show equivalent of eating an entire bag of chips in one sitting.”

Why Watch: Want to feel better about your own love life? Love Is Blind has got you covered. It’s fun, mindless entertainment that always delivers surprises.

7. “The Bear Grylls Channel” (YouTube)

James: “If no one else is going to bring up Bear Grylls, I will. Watching him run wild while teaching you survival skills is genuinely life-changing.”

Liv: “Did we fall into a time warp? This is your top pick?”

James: “When society collapses, you’ll be glad I know how to make fire. Just saying.”

Why Watch: Equal parts thrilling and practical. If you’ve never watched Bear Grylls wrestle survival with the wilderness, you’re missing out.
