List #86 - 5 tv shows worth bingeing that will make you feel smarter

We love an “intelligence hack”, and these are my top five shows (will forever be an expanding list though!) that make me feel smarter even though I’m technically just watching tv.

1. The West Wing

   Competence porn at its finest. If you don’t feel inspired to get more informed and elevate your brain after watching President Bartlet and Dr. Abby Bartlet spar, I can’t help you.

2. Paradise

   Let’s talk about how the most powerful person in this fictional post-apocalyptic world is a brilliant woman AND a mother.

3. The Pitt

   Doctors working through problems and maintaining their cool through trauma. What could deliver more perspective?

4. Yellowstone

   A little bit of an outlier, but really when it comes to this show I’m talking about Beth Dutton and her mouth. Killer.

5. Scandal

   I’m putting Scandal and Shonda Rhimes in here because if you’re not immediately inspired by Olivia Pope, again, there’s not a lot I can do!
