Some shows aren’t just stressful—they’re spiritually destabilizing. Here's what we’re spiraling over this week- and what you should be watching this weekend:

🔸 Ginny & Georgia (Season 3)

Teen mental health, abortion rights, toxic family love, and a courtroom twist that came swinging. This season? Nobody’s well. Ginny’s becoming her mama, Georgia’s more scandalous than ever, and the little boy? A menace in the making. Add friendship betrayals and drama like confetti, and whew—why are my emotions fighting for their lives?

🔸 Straw (Film) 

A slow-burn Black girl rage story that quietly builds to something terrifying. Stylish, still, and then—utterly shattering. Still Number 1 in the US today! We SEE WHY! Go Taraji!

🔸 Blindspot

A woman wakes up in Times Square with amnesia, a body full of mysterious tattoos, and zero chill. Each inked clue leads to another explosive case—and her own past. It’s giving Bourne Identity meets Scandal, but with more chaos and trust issues. You will not sleep.
