Top 10 TV Shows Streaming Across All Platforms Right Now

Top 10 TV Shows Streaming

In this blog post, I want you to ride with me on a rollercoaster. Will you sit next to me and go on the ride? This ride goes straight up to the top. Expect exhilarating twists, twirls, and a big drop at the end.

Let’s Begin

It’s a beautiful Tuesday morning, evening, or night depending upon your location, and an absolute joy to be living. I don’t know what type of weather you’re dealing with but whatever the case is I hope you’re safe. Southern California received an unprecedented blizzard and the media can’t figure out what’s going on. 

When I wrote my last blog post, what’s happening now, I thought about my friends in California. Still, people are out and about smiling grins as wide as ever. In this world, nothing can really get you down. All you really need is a high definition television and you’re good. Seriously, it doesn’t have to be huge. 

What are your favorite modern day TV shows? Are they one of the top ones streaming right now? Let’s see. Why don’t we?

Countdown from 1 to 10

To enjoy the week I made a list of the top 10 TV shows to stream across platforms right now.

  1. House of the Dragon HBO Max 
  2. The Lord of the Rings: TheRings of Power Prime Video
  3. The Last of Us HBO Max
  4. Only Murders In the Building Hulu
  5. Euphoria HBO Max
  6. Ginny & Georgia Netflix
  7. How I Met Your Father Hulu
  8. Yellowstone Paramount +
  9. Mayor of Kingstown Paramount +
  10. Wednesday Netflix

Number 1: House of the Dragon is a spin-off of Game of Thrones. If you’re a George R.R. Martin and fantasy fan this new HBO Max TV series will entertain you for many seasons. They still say Winter is coming. Well, spring is near and you can watch the House of the Dragon while cleaning your home. Like the next show on the list, this is an expensive television program to make.

Second, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will also entertain you for seasons to come. It’s the most expensive TV show ever made largely because of billionaire Jeff Bezos’ involvement. When you’ve got the money, you can call the shots or not. Rings of Power deserves to make the list. It’s different from the original Lord of the Rings, yet still hasn’t lost the magical feeling. In other words, it’s magnificent and the family will enjoy every minute.

Another newcomer is the Last of Us, which is based on a video game. I can’t understate this show’s popularity. HBO Max seems like an ideal streaming platform having a wide range of selections. Check out this brief article about the Last of Us. Fourth, Only Murders In the Building on Hulu is a unique show starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. If you have a twisted sense of humor I think you’ll like this TV show. However, the show is rated TV Mature for a reason. Where are my Selena Gomez fans? Calm down, she’s in the building.

Fifth, Euphoria starring Zendaya is must-see TV. Also, on HBO Max, it has won her dozens of accolades. Now, going into the third season, who knows if there are three more left. Because of the success of the show, Zendaya is now the highest paid TV actress in the industry.

Sixth, Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia makes the list. It’s good stuff if you haven’t seen it already I highly recommend watching it. Seventh up, How I Met Your Father on Hulu comes in with a splash. I wanted to add a sitcom to my list and this is a great show starring Hilary Duff.

To finish it off, we have Yellowstone (eighth) and Mayor of Kingstown (ninth) on Paramount +. Finally, Wednesday on Netflix starring the beautiful Jenna Ortega absolutely completes the top ten. It’s only in the first season and has broken all types of records on the streaming platform. People simply love the young Hollywood star.

The rollercoaster is finished. I hope you had fun. That was my spin on things. Did any of your favorite TV shows make it? Is this the best top ten list you’ve seen in a while? Thanks for reading. I appreciate the feedback a great deal. Stay safe!

Alicia Keys Celebrities Emmys Entertainment Grammys H.E.R. H.E.R. Music H.E.R. Music Soothes Musicians R&B Saturday Night Live Music Singers SNL Musical Guests SZA

H.E.R. Music Soothes


Music serves as the backbone of the entertainment industry. Music artists earn good pay because they deliver priceless goods. Movies and T.V. productions need musicians to create soundtracks. Imagine watching a film without a soundtrack. Sometimes, a well-placed song is the only missing element in a film or TV spot. Good music never grows old.
    
Recently, at the Emmys and on Saturday Night Live, viewers received the chance to listen to H.E.R. I enjoyed listening to H.E.R.’s music. The 23-year-old has recorded phenomenal music. That’s why she’s won two Grammys. I expect more Grammys are on the way. Plus, the R&B singer’s performances are a joy to watch. Her laid back and smooth personality shine like a diamond.
    
I feel the singer generates a ton of buzz because she follows the formula. Her unique sound mixes with striking beats. H.E.R. is in her own category. How can I explain it? Her style is similar to Alicia Keys and SZA. 

H.E.R. Music Soothes

    
This celebrity’s music is not only catchy but also soothing. Many musicians cheat their way to the top. They give a good hook and strong beat, but their lyrics are choppy. Entertainment should give the audience something in return. H.E.R. gives great value to each album and single. That’s why she is successful and critical reception is high.
    
The voice is meant to soothe the ears, not nag them. For the most part, singers, especially the good ones, use their voices to relax the listener. I like this music artist’s rhythm. The R&B singer makes music that not only expresses creativity but also a truth. Also, she doesn’t back down from making huge songs.
 
   H.E.R. is on my playlist for a good reason. She’s always been on top of her game. Plus, I feel that she is under good management. And she shows no signs of slowing down. The singer is one of a kind. I look forward to seeing H.E.R.’s career develop.

Emmys 2017 Recap

Did you watch the Emmys last night? The 2017 Emmys was exciting. All the stars gathered on the red carpet and then on stage.
It was truly a wonderful time. Are you going to watch the post show? In the meantime, read this recap.

Did you check out the fashion and styles? Who was the best dressed in your opinion? Some say Zoe Kravitz was the most fashionable. Apparently, risque is in and safe is out.
To begin with, glitz and glamor obviously filled the concert hall. Along with excitement, there was also a lot of humor in the room. However, Jimmy Fallon was noticeably absent. Still, there was so much comedy to behold.
The Emmys celebrate TV at its best. It is important to acknowledge the contributions of writers, actors, directors, producers and the crew. Making great television is a concerted effort.
The 69thPrimeTime Emmy collected talent like bottle caps. Did you see the opening montage? Stephen Colbert began the night singing and dancing like he was on a Broadway musical.
There were so many highlights of the show. What did you like the best? Maybe, you enjoyed every minute of it. Was this the best award show or what?
My favorite moment was the coming together of TV rivals James Corden and Seth Meyers. I also enjoyed the Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel drinking segment. They were “sore” losers. Again, where was Jimmy Fallon? How amazing would it be to get every last one of them in the same room at the same time?
More emphasis should be placed on the red carpet and after party. The Emmys should be shortened to make way for the red carpet and post show. Anyway, the presenters did a fantastic job.
And the Winners Are…
HBO, ABC, Netflix and Hulu were big winners. John Lithgow received the first award. Veep and Atlanta won multiple times. Sterling K. Brown won for This Is Us. Plus, Elisabeth Moss took home a statute for Handmaid’s Tale. 
Overall, it was Handmaid’s Tale’s night. It is unfortunate that TV’s number one show was ineligible for nomination. In fact, no Game of Thrones‘ cast members were in attendance. Who was your favorite winner? Were your favorite shows nominated?
To wrap it up, next year will be even more exciting.

Could you feel the good vibrations on the red carpet last night?

Hopefully, you got a chance to watch the Emmy Awards. In this blog, we will experience it again. In case you missed it, you’ll also appreciate my recap.

To begin with, the interviews set the tone for the night. There was a little something for everybody. Are you much into fashion and style? Did you enjoy seeing the actresses and actors strutting their stuffs?

We saw John Travolta and Amy Schumerarrive on the scene. Naturally, Amy said something inappropriate. And Travolta was cool like he’s been- for the past 40 years.

The Emmys literally started up their engines as host Jimmy Kimmel hitchhiked with TV and showbiz’s biggest stars. To start it off, he got a little Carpool Karaoke for us from James Corden. Of course, Jimmy was kicked out of the car because of his bad singing. Other celebrities including Julia Louis-Dreyfus kicked him to the curb.

Entertainment award shows are the highlight of an entertaining season. After all that hard work, talent is rightly rewarded by the Television Academy. There were tons of winners Sunday- too many to name everyone.

Jeffrey Tambor was the talk of the Tinseltown because of his performance in Transparent. It seems Transparent owned the night. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel handed Tambor an Emmy when the show first started.

Tori Kelly sang a beautiful Hallelujah honoring the memories of those we lost this year ending with Prince. Louie Anderson won the first award. Were fans pleased to see Mr. Robot take home an Emmy or what? Plus, Game of Thrones and Veep were recognized with multiple wins.

Moreover, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story won big. Courtney B. Vance and Sterling K. Brown took home Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. You also saw Key & Peele receive their respects they paid dearly for on the comedic side. It’s all about sacrifice.

To be honest, the Emmys were dull but enjoyable with coffee. I don’t fault the nominees because the TV shows themselves are incredible. I suggest more music and/or better clips next time. Otherwise, Everything was all good.

beauty Best Blogs Black Actresses Celebrity Emmys Famous People Guru Jay Hollywood Actress How To Get Away With Murder Movies Oscars Red Carpet Showbiz TGIT Throwback Thursday TV Twitter Viola Davis

If Loving Viola Davis Is Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right

BY: GURU JAY
Viola Davis is one of my favorite actresses.
On Twitter, there is a hashtag called #TBT standing for Throwback Thursday. You see Viola is a TBT because she’s classic and yet contemporary. Maybe, her schooling at Juilliard has something to do with it. Or maybe, her beauty just mesmerizes me.
Also, there is another hashtag on Twitter called #TGIT standing for Thank God It’s Thursday. Shonda Rhimes owns a block of ABC shows (Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder), which comes on one after another. Of course, Viola Davis works her ass off on #HTGAWM. The actress embodies passion and talent.
If loving Viola Davis is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Rest in peace Luther Ingram. I love the way Davis digs deep into her character’s soul. You sense a commitment to excellence in every element. She does the little things perfect, and the big things more perfect.

She is a walking sculpture. The How to Get Away with Murder actress knows how to use her hammer and chisel. Moreover, the celebrity can make the most from the least. Viola has an active imagination and indisputable creativity too.
Viola Davis should play Oprah Winfrey in a movie. Oprah deserves only the best and that’s why Viola is ideal. We’re not only dealing with a veteran but a 4 star general here. 
The highly decorated actress won 4 SAG Awards. Plus, she earned 2 Tony Awards and was nominated for 2 Oscars. In 2015, Viola Davis won the prestigious Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Davis delivers dazzling acts time and time again.

Ever since The Help, the fine actress has finally received the recognition she deserves. Pay attention to anything involving Viola Davis. Trust me, you don’t want to miss her performances.

Celeb Blog Celeb News Celebs CMA Awards Emmys Entertainment Famous Singers Grammys Guru Jay Justin Timberlake Mirrors Music Music Gossip New Frank Sinatra NSYNC pop stars Sexy Back Showbiz Suit & Tie

Why Justin Timberlake Is the New Sinatra

BY: GURU JAY

Justin Timberlake was elected President of Pop about eight years ago. Apparently, he might be president forever. The popular singing statesman travels the globe representing Memphis, Tennessee.
You know Elvis Presley is connected to Memphis. Have you been to Graceland?  
Are you watching the CMA Awards tonight? Timberlake will perform and it makes total sense. This year’s award show takes place inside Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Luke Bryan is also in the lineup. Plus, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley return to host.
I predict Justin Timberlake will steal the show though. Justin expresses deep feelings with his music. When you give blood, sweat, and tears to your craft people take time to notice.

In total, the musician has won 9 Grammys. Additionally, he’s received 4 Emmys. He could go all the way and win an Oscar.
His Saturday Night Live appearances were exceptional. This is coming from an SNL expert.
The Tennessee kid’s been around the block. Almost anyone can appreciate his songs because they’re universal. He keeps to a familiar theme. That’s not to say he isn’t creative.
Mirrors, Suit & Tie, and Sexy Back display his originality. Justin Timberlake can teach Nick Jonas a ton. Few people command their voices better than Timberlake.

His stage presence feels magical.
Will NSYNC reunite for good feelings? When you’re reunited it feels so good. Don’t you wish all bands stuck together for the long term?
Justin Timberlake outshines the brightest stars. Some of these new singers should shine his shoes. What is more, his star power goes beyond music. In movies and on TV, this entertainer performs to the peak.
I believe Justin Timberlake is this generation’s Frank Sinatra. While I like Michael Buble, he’s a spitting image of the legend. Give Justin high marks on style and substance. Shout out to music teachers.

2 Broke Girls Actress Celebrity comedy Emmys Entertainment Funny Guru Jay Hollywood Hollywood Stars Lady Gaga Megan Fox Netflix New Girl TV TV and Showbiz Whitney Cummings Zooey Deschanel

Why Zooey Deschanel Deserves An Emmy

BY: GURU JAY

  
I began binge watching New Girl on Netflix this week. I firmly believe Zooey Deschanel is a top 5 TV actress. Also, she deserves an Emmy.
Deschanel recently announced that Megan Fox is filming episodes for next season. Can you picture Zooey and Megan on screen together? Who’s planning to watch New Girlseason 5?
The New Girllead actress specializes in comedic acting. I would like to see Zooey perform standup. Although she isn’t technically a comic, the brunette babe is funny. Maybe she could workout some jokes with Whitney Cummings, who writes on 2 Broke Girls.
From New Girl to New Mother
The new mother nurtures her craft. What is more, acting runs in her family. Her big sister/actress Emily walks around in big boots.
You know it is hard working on a popular TV show. In a way, it is an endurance test. New Girlcompletes about 25 episodes a season.

 

I like Zooey because she’s a sweetheart. The pleasing actress smiles freely. And she conducts herself well in front of an audience.
Plus, she sings her own theme song. She & Him is a nice side hustle. Back in the day, versatile entertainers were common.
Nowadays, most celebrities stay in one square. There are exceptions like Lady Gaga, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Lopez. On a side note, who could have predicted Lady Gaga would kill it on American Horror Story (pun intended)?
As Halloween approaches, can you guess your favorite celebrity’s costume? Should Zooey Deschanel dress up as Megan Fox and vice versa? Whatever they choose, they will look amazing in it.

To my main point, Zooey Deschanel deserves an Emmy because she’s the best at her job. As a comedic actress in the lead role, who beats Deschanel on popularity? New Girlattracts more viewers than Inside Amy Schumer and Veep combined.
