What was the last show you watched?

A recent show I watched was "Abbott Elementary," which was nominated for an Emmy. I love this show so much! It is so refreshing to watch something that is not buried in trauma, but shines a light on the amazing work teachers and school professionals do. This show is so wholesome and hilarious. I can’t wait for season two.
