Modern Love

This is a show like no other! It takes viewers through the journey of love but from the experiences of different people in each episode. The show was adapted from a weekly column in the New York Times that talks about relationships, feelings, revelations, and betrayals. Why this show is so amazing is that each episode feels like its own movie where you’re able to see real love stories and relationships. Not only that but the stories behind each episode are real which makes it even more personable for the viewers. There are currently two seasons out on Amazon Prime Video.

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn host a fashion show competition like no other and it is a must-watch. Unlike any previous fashion competition shows, the winner gets to sell their designs on Amazon which is an amazing opportunity for us to actually wear the pieces being designed on the show! They also get one million dollars to invest in their brand. This is definitely worth watching if you are into fashion!
