The documentary follows the lives of seven female inmates, Yasmin, Noonie, Shawn, Monster, Drea, Baby Girl, and Tayler, as they try to live their lives from the comfort of jail.

Little, Tanner (TTH) Who Is America 10

Who Is America is the Satirist's Sacha Baron Cohen's most recent television series which aired on SHOWTIME. It features Sacha Baron Cohen (who you may know from Borat) as the lead actor and also the executive director. In this series he interviews with well-known celebrities and politicians disguised as different characters. Some of these interviews ended up becoming very controversial and some politicians even lost their jobs over the outrageous statements they made. Sacha Baron Cohen has a unique style of being able to get good reactions out of people by using satire.Sacha Baron Cohen is also known for having great disguises and being very hard to recognize. I personally really liked the series, however it is very offensive in some episodes and was hard to find a clip that was appropriate to show during class.

Ballew, Anna (MW) His Dark Materials 100

"His Dark Materials," is a TV show that can be found on HBO, a subscription-based platform.. The story was originally published in 1995 as, "The Golden Compass of North America." The show is in a visually captivating world other than ours. Like the original 1995 publishing, many aspects of the show are the same. The story follows the main character, Lyra Belacqua played by Dafne Keen. Lyra is a young girl who's daemon often takes the form of a white ermine. In this world, every human has a daemon from birth that can shift from one animal to another until they "settle" as one animal when a child reaches adulthood. The story follows Lyra through a dangerous world. She learns that trust is dangerous very early on. Her first lesson in trust kicked the show off to a riveting start. She entrusted a woman named Marisa Coulter, played by Ruth Wilson, who was not who she seemed to be. She was much more important than Lyra could have imagined. Protected and sheltered in adolescence, Lyra longed to join the world. Once she was thrust into the world, she found herself in many situations and in many plots with no answer in sight. Lyra never expected she would be as important as she was. The executive producers for this show are Jane Tranter, Dan McCulloch, Otto Bathurst, Carolyn Blackwood, Joel Collins, Toby Emmerich, Deborah Forte, Julie Gardner, Tom Hooper, Ben Irving, Philip Pullman, Ryan Rasmussen and Jack Thorne.

Carter, Jared (MW) Kidding

Kidding is a fictionalized dramatic, comedy following the life of Jeff Pickles, a Mr. Rodgers-esque children's show host. Jim Carrey plays Jeff Pickles, a kind, neurotic, child-like man who hosts the largest and longest-running children's program in the world. Kidding follows Pickles shortly after the tragic death of his 14-year-old son and from there devolves into a character study of a saint-like man who struggles to deal with his own mental health while maintaining a positive, unbothered image for his famous TV show. With great production, directing, and creative editing, this is a very compelling series that may not receive as much recognition because it streams on Showtime. However, Showtime has given much creative liberty to its executive producers: Dave Holstein, Jim Carrey himself, and Jason Bateman (star of Arrested Development and Ozark). The second season can be caught airing this Sunday, February 9th on Showtime's streaming service or cable network. (The full first season is also on Showtime).

Cohrs, Chandlyr (MW) Totally Spies 100

The animated series Totally Spies was one of my all-time favorite shows growing up. The characters range in diversity, and the colors and animation are great- able to captivate young minds and keep them entertained. The humor is there- adults who don't mind animation, could follow along and be enticing for the older crowd. There is action and adventure in every episode, going to different places around the world and dealing with "Spy Entail" and a fictional look into the life of undercover spies. The main characters, Clover, Sam and Alex remain consistent with their attitudes and nature/personality throughout each season and episode, while the settings offer great changes throughout each season and episode.
