In terms of True Crime, the Boston Strangler was a series of murders that many of us have heard of, and interestingly enough, there are a number of details that we're not aware of. In Hulu's Boston Strangler, we learn how 2 reporters, Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightly) and Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) broke this story about a man in 1960s Boston who strangled women with their stocking and tied them into a bow. We learn how they had to fight to be involved in the story, the blow back when the story hit the papers and then the revelations that have continued to emerge from this case and what we know about it now!

TED LASSO

Apple Original

Apple TV+

We've always enjoyed the good vibes that you get when watching Ted Lasso which brings us on a journey from an American football coach who goes across the pond to coach British footballers. Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) encourages everyone surrounding him to be their best selves by looking on the bright side of life and never giving up - even when you're going through tough times in your life.

Even when he isn't aware of how the game is played, his optimism and determination is one that leaves you rooting for him. It even makes the wins his team achieves even better. We also see how he brings the team and front office management together through his can do attitude.

This 11X Emmy Award winning show definitely gives you the giggles when you watch it and has great cameos of those that have been included in the show. Now in its third season, it's the perfect time to binge previous seasons to catch up or to rewatch some of your favorite memories!

We can't wait to see what happens to the AFC Richmond team and what one-liners Ted will share throughout the season!

Minnesota-based producer and reporter Erika Lantz is back with Season 2 Room of Mirrors which looks at the ballet system that was created by choreographer, George Balanchine who was brilliant in his artistry, but also created a number of systemic issues for those that trained under him. Erika, a former ballerina interviews a number of people who worked with him to talk about their experience and where they are now.
