What We’re Watching
How To Die Alone on Hulu
This show is amazing. It was created by and stars Natasha Rothwell, who’s best known as Kelli on Insecure and Belinda in the first season of The White Lotus.
How to Die Alone follows Mel, a broke, fat, Black JFK airport employee who’s never been in love and forgotten how to dream, until an accidental brush with death catapults her on a journey to finally take flight and start living by any means necessary.
These episodes will take you on a ride of all the emotions. It’s funny, sad, and introspective, sometimes all at once. The Thanksgiving episode was 🤌🏾.
Check out the trailer below, and for those of you who have watched it, let us know what you thought about it in the comments.
