    Classes are getting busier and students all over campus are feeling the late-September burnout. Check out what the Lariat editors have been watching to help us decompress and take a break when everything gets too overwhelming.

    Gilmore Girls (2000) | Selected by Madalyn Watson, Editor-in-Chief

    The 2000 comedy-drama “Gilmore Girls” is near and dear to my heart. The series focuses on the mother-daughter relationship between the independent, former wild child Loreali Gilmore, her studious teenage daughter also named Loreali (Rory) and her strict, wealthy mother Emily.

    The series starts out with inn manager Loreali finding out she must revisit her estranged parents to ask for a loan so her daughter can attend the private high school of her dreams. “Gilmore Girls” is a classic for all close mother and daughters that are more like best friends as well as every headstrong aspiring female journalist.

    Watching “Gilmore Girls,” you grow up with the characters, like I did since I have been watching the series since I was a child. Since the story is so sweet, heartwarming, and familiar, “Gilmore Girls” is my perfect feel-good choice to watch on Netflix.

    The West Wing (1999) | Selected by Matthew Soderberg, News Editor

    “The West Wing” is a dream. It’s a story of bipartisan cooperation and learning to care for other people that just wouldn’t take place today and, I’m not sure it would have 20 years ago, either. It’s a seven season show you can find on Netflix, and I’d purely recommend it because it makes me yearn for a time when the country was less polarized and more cooperative. It makes me dream that someday we can go back.

    Umbrella Academy (2020) | Selected by Tyler Bui, Opinion Editor

    The Umbrella Academy is different from anything that I’ve ever watched before. The show combines superpowers, actions scenes and love stories that make it unpredictable. I was skeptical in the beginning, but the more I watch, the more I become intrigued in the show. There’s over 8 main characters who live such different lives, so it’s exciting to keep up with their stories and see how they all end up connecting in the end.

    The Devil All the Time (2020) | Selected by DJ Ramirez, Sports Editor

    “The Devil All the Time” is about the closest I’ll ever get to enjoying an almost-horror story. Based on the book by the same name by Donald Pollock, Antonio Campos brings to life a masterpiece of a Gothic psychological thriller set in mid-20th century Ohio and West Virginia.

    Graphic, mature and beautifully dark, this film highlights the intersectionality of violence and religion that lurks in the underbelly of small-town America. Tom Holland is brilliant, serving as the story’s moral center. The only blemish on the film would be Robert Pattinson’s failed Tennessee accent, a slight taint on an otherwise chilling performance as an uncomfortably villainous and corrupt pastor.

    The Love Witch (2016) | Selected by Madalyn Watson, Editor-in-Chief

    The 2016 horror-comedy “The Love Witch” is a new underrated, feminist classic. After escaping her abusive ex-husband, Elaine uses witchcraft as a form of empowerment. Leaving a string of lovestruck men in her wake, the beautiful young woman struggles to find balance between her desires to be loved and society’s view on her femininity.

    The ’60s technicolor aesthetic, campy dialogue and purposefully stilted acting dissects the differing views of feminism without condoning or condemning opposing perspectives. The film is so unique it inspired me to start my own Instagram account dedicated to movie reviews. If you want follow me, you can find me here: @madsreviewsmovies.
