Feb. 15: Bold & Bougie Season 1 – WEtv

Just because these ladies of a certain age have lived a life full of experience, it doesn’t mean they know how to avoid drama.

This show will make you thankful your mom just spends her time watching HGTV and playing slots at the local casino.

If you want to travel, but are still a little hesitant about it, “The Amazing Race” is a fun way to do it from the comfort of your couch.

March 17: 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?: Season 8 – TLC

Despite the messiness of “90 Day Fiancé,” it does occasionally work out. Of course, those stories still have plenty of drama, which is the reason the title ends with a question mark. Nothing makes you feel better about your relationship than this series.

April 6: Say Yes to the Dress: Season 23 – TLC

Some shows are made for binging. You start by watching one or two episodes of a bride desperately searching for the perfect wedding dress, then next thing you know six hours have passed and you’ve wasted an entire day of your life.
