Bridgewater, Va.- With the colder weather coming in, students share their suggestions for their favorite movies and shows. With these recommendations, students can bundle up with their pumpkin spice lattes and enjoy themselves.

What’s New:

• Junior Karis Dryden shared that her favorite show is “P-Valley”. The show, which first aired in July 2020, tells the story of a group of exotic dancers in the fictional Mississippi city of Chucalissa.
• “It shows the type of lifestyle and the harshness of life,” said Dryden.
• Junior Kerissa Brandon shared that her favorite show is “Grey’s Anatomy”. The show first aired in March of 2005 and focuses on the titular character, Dr. Meredith Grey, and her coworkers’ personal and professional lives in the medical field.
