Binge-Worthy Bulletin: 8 Reasons We're Obsessed With 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'
Dec 05, 2018
Western lovers, there's finally a brand new show for us to obsess over! (And to add to our rewatch lineup of 1923 and When Hope Calls). Season 1 of Ransom Canyon premiered on Netflix April 17 and if you're still thinking about THAT ending, then you're not the only one. Here's everything you need to know.

The last episode of Ransom Canyon immediately picks up the emotional fallout of the previous episode. Yancy learned Cap is his grandfather...right before Cap dies, leaving Ellie to think he just stood her up. Lucas is reeling from his brother Kit's arrest relating to Staten's son Randall's death in the pilot (and the fact Kit signed Lucas' emancipation papers without a second thought), while Lauren's shoulder injury means she might not be able to leave Ransom Canyon after all.
Um, not to mention the fact we finally learn Lauren's mom Margaret is the one responsible for Randall's death. (Chat, I don't know if I'll ever get over that one).
Each of those moments is enough to form a whole episode around, but Cap's death really got me (especially when way more people than Ellie invited show up to his memorial). And I'm not the only emotional one. "I think I had a lot to do in the second year," actor James Brolin told EW. "Even if I had a grandson that was going to take over. I liked my relationship with Jack Schumacher [Yancy], and I liked the girl that was almost like a surrogate daughter [Ellie], Marianly Tejada. We worked so well together, and we like each other so much. So that I'll miss." We'll miss you too!

Elsewhere, it looks like Quinn and Staten have a very bright future, but Davis just can't stop messing with their lives. Quinn learns the investment from Austin Water & Power really was too good to be true, and that they're going to take legal action on Gracie's Dance Hall if she doesn't start making payments...that week.
Their relationship feels even more stress when Quinn tells Staten the New York Philharmonic offered her a six-month stint, news he doesn't react well to. And then at a dance at Gracie's Dance Hall, when Davis makes a really horrible comment about Staten's late wife, the two men finally come to blows, leaving Quinn disappointed, hurt, and resigned to leaving Staten alone.

The real culmination of the episode — and the season — comes at Gracie's Dance Hall. The town comes together, not knowing that the hall is in danger and that Ellie will be its future co-owner.
After Lauren tells Lucas she's not ready for a serious relationship and runs off, Lucas hops onstage at the dance to confess his love for her in front of the whole town. "You got a bum arm and a broken heart, and I can only fix one of those" is MODERN POETRY!
Ellie's evening is also looking romantic considering Yancy is waiting with a preacher, and lots of candles, for them to get married...until a woman shows up claiming to be Yancy's wife, and you can just see Ellie go into shock.
Sheriff Dan Brigman shows up and arrests his wife Margaret for Randall's death. Lauren and Dan embrace, as do Lucas and Kit, who finally comes home.
And the season ends with Staten looking out on the truly gorgeous land of Ransom Canyon before the screen fades to black. And I literally thought to myself THAT'S HOW THE SEASON ENDS?! Looks like we'll have to hope Netflix renews the show for a season 2.
The Ransom Canyon ending is definitely cliffhanger with plenty of shocks, but that final shot of the canyon gives both the viewers and the characters a few moments to breathe and to process. It also left me feeling hopeful about what's to come.
Anna Kooris/Netflix
Yes, all 10 episodes of Ransom Canyon are on Netflix now. Here's the full list:

We haven't gotten an official Ransom Canyon season 2 announcement yet, but creator April Blair hopes this isn't the end of the story. “My favorite feeling is when a show ends, and you don’t want it to end, and you just want more,” she tells Netflix. “It makes you feel warm and familiar, and you don’t want to let go. That is how I hope people feel. It’s how I feel about the show watching it.”

We've all heard the saying, "Never meet your idols," and in the past, it might've sounded pretty dramatic. It assumes that the people we once looked up to will forever be altered in our minds after encountering them because, somehow, they'll disappoint.
Well, that was until one TikToker named Jordan recently posed an intriguing question that garnered some pretty unbelievable responses. On her account @idkjor, she asked people to divulge their craziest celebrity interactions.
"I don't mean, 'I got a selfie with so and so.' I wanna know who was rude, who was a flirt, you hung out with them all night, etc.," Jordan wrote.
Her TikTok, posted on April 5, has amassed 9.2 million views and over 976,000 likes. Plus, nearly 45,000 users opened up about their encounters with celebrities. Here are some of their most jaw-dropping celebrity stories (and thankfully, they're not all negative).

"I met Daniel Radcliffe and told him he smelled nice, and he said it was his Listerine. Then, he breathed in my face so I could smell it. 100/10 experience. He's the best. Loved every moment."

"Robin Williams was a regular at my mom's restaurant. He always came in disguise. She knew it was him, but never made a big deal of it. So, he would tip his glasses down and say, 'See you next time.'"

"I saw Steven Tyler at the grocery store, and I said, 'Excuse me,' to him to get past him, and he said, 'I'm sorry, I don't want to take any photos.' I said, 'That's fine, you're just blocking the cheese section.'"

Thanks to the eternal popularity of Gilmore Girls, we all know mother-daughter shows are some of the best around. And if you ask me, Ginny and Georgia are totally the next Rory and Lorelai. If you're looking for a new series to binge while getting cozy this winter, then look no further than Ginny & Georgia. It's got intrigue, it's got romance, it's got drama — which is exactly why it's one of the Netflix shows you should binge on a break!
Brooke Palmer/Netflix
You can stream Ginny & Georgia on Netflix starting June 5, 2025.
Netflix
Ginny & Georgia follows the titular mother-daughter duo (plus Ginny's little brother Austin) who move from Texas to Wellsbury, Massachusetts after the death of Georgia's husband. But while a new town, a new school, and new friends can be complicated on their own, things get even messier in season 2 when Ginny discovers her step-dad's death wasn't an accident.
And at the end of season 2, Georgia's arrested for murder in the middle of her wedding reception. This was "always the plan," according to creator Sarah Lampert. "How we pitched season 1 and then how we ended our pitch of season 2 was, 'Then Georgia's married to Paul, they're having their first dance, and she's arrested for murder,'" she told People in January 2023.
"I'm blown away that the writers are still able to show us completely new sides of each character, and that's what you're going to see in season 3," actress Brianne Howey says. "You will see a lot of grit and hustle, but in an entirely new way. Georgia has to dig deeper into a part of herself we haven't seen yet. So, she has to use that grit in all new ways."
Netflix
Ginny & Georgia stars Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller, Diesel La Torraca as Austin Miller, Jennifer Robertson as Ellen Baker, Felix Mallard as Marcus Baker, Sara Waisglass as Max Baker, Scott Porter as Paul Randolph, and Raymond Ablack as Joe.

Georgia was 15 years old when she gave birth to Ginny. This is another detail that reminds us of Gilmore Girls since Lorelai was 16 when she had Rory!
Netflix
Ginny & Georgia season 3 is premiering June 5, 2025 on Netflix, which is where you can stream all 20 episodes of the show (10 in season one and 10 in season two). It's safe to assume that Ginny & Georgia season 3 will also have 10 episodes.

This summer, let your style superpower be nothing other than a cool pair of sneakers. Seriously – though this concept sounds fairly simple, it’s all you need to complete your most confidence-inspiring looks. This reigns especially true if you’re stepping into one (or a few) of these 5 iconic summer sneaker trends. Summer 2025’s sneaks are undeniably drenched in retro vibes, but many of the hottest silhouettes still range from classic to more-experimental. This means there’s a pair out there for any kind of personal style!
Vans
Retro, running-inspired sneakers don't have to stop at the expected Sambas – there are tons of sporty styles that go beyond what everyone's wearing nowadays.
Take the Vans Super Lowpro sneakers for instance: they've got a similar streamlined low profile, a lightweight feel, plus that signature side stripe for added flair. They're also ideal for summertime's warmer temps since they wear oh-so comfortably.
Alohas
Undeniably athletic (thanks to the cleat-esque rubber soles), this pair of Alohas sneakers is another fave for us when it comes to retro runners. The satin-y material definitely elevates them to be more fashion-forward than solely practical, which can be helpful if you want a summer sneaker to rock across both casual for more-formal 'fits.
Anthropologie
It feels like almost every fashion "it" girl has been spotted in Puma Speedcats this year. They obviously embrace the ever-trendy sporty style, but their suede construction makes them perfect for dressing up with slacks, maxi skirts, or mini dresses.
Larroudé
To take this summer sneaker trend a step further, go bold with a fun color! This pair's contrasting laces also add to their eye-catching effect.
Merrell
Pastels aren't just for springtime. This year, they'll be worn well into the summer for a subtle wash of color! Any shades, from greens and blues to purples and pinks, evoke a sense of calm and optimism with every wear, which is never a bad idea for whatever look you're trying to pull.
Since the gorpcore aesthetic shows no signs of slowing down, we're hooked on these hiking shoes from Merrell for the upcoming season.
Veja
While most of the sporty sneaks on the market right now draw inspiration from the soccer field, these purple cuties spawn from the volleyball court. They're quite simple in shape, so the pastel purple hue is where they really shine, especially to channel that lively summertime energy!
Zara
Ballet sneakers are essentially a hybrid between ballet flats and sneakers. We love this sneaker trend because it's yet another direct display of the how the sports world is influencing fashion right now – we can't get enough!
This shiny red pair from Zara exudes sporty vibes not only from the classic ballet flat silhouette, but from the playful seaming around the shoe.
Anthropologie
With an even more apparent ballet-inspired design (hello, laces!), these sneaks work wonderfully with feminine-leaning 'fits – think frilly white mini dresses for style contrast or basic black mini skirts paired with easy tees.
Gola
Metallic silver sneakers are the way to go if you wish your shoe game to be nothing but attention-grabbing. Fitted with a reflective effect, these Gola sneakers are easy yet oh-so fun to incorporate into summer outfits, especially if your ensemble's more color-forward.
Adidas
These sliver Taekwondo-inspired babies boast a cracked leather material for added visual interest, if the smoother feel isn't quite your vibe. Plus, you reap the benefits of street cred when you wear 'em, since they've got the signature Adidas side stripes! We also highly adore the laceless design of these, which makes getting ready in those hotter summer temps easy-peasy.

Your Friends & Neighbors has joined Apple TV's star-studded shows that keep viewers locked in and it stars one of prime time's favorite leading men: Jon Hamm (Mad Men and The Morning Show). Already renewed for season 2, the series will continue to follow his character's journey as an unemployed thief who's been discovering grimy secrets about the people he knows.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's like Don Draper stepped into the world of Fun with Dick & Jane and added his signature sex appeal to it. But I have an inkling season 2 is going to be even sexier now that James Marsden's chiseled face is joining the cast!
