I love the tv preview - making plans to smash many of these picks!! And as a current Houston resident who’s lived here most of my adult life, I accept our reputation for smog and strip malls, but am hopeful that the current season of Top Chef (which was filmed here!) is helping dispel any ideas that the strip malls aren’t filled with delicious global food choices!! (We’re the most diverse city in America, and of course the home of Beyoncé and Meg…and I guess now this pecan pie. People gift each other Goode Company BBQ pecan pies for Christmas, but otherwise I think pecan pie is more generally Texan/southern!)

Would love to hear your reviews/recommendations on any new stuff you watch this season!

Also, I almost apologized to my Houston family, but should also include you! lol! It's truly an amazing city, even if I only grew up visiting Spring.

Okay, unfortunately some reviews are now out. Let's see....

-Life and Beth -- I loved the pilot, especially the final scene, but then got bored halfway through the second episode and haven't picked it back up! But maybe I will...

-The Bubble. Apparently it is UNwatchable.

-Pachinko - YES

-Julia: haven't started but Hutton says it's great!

-First Lady comes out this weekend!
