My wife has to have surgery (kidney stones). She will be out of commission for about a week. She watches virtually zero tv besides Top Chef and the news before bed. Occasionally the food network and on Patrol live. 


She enjoys reality tv competition shows. I know she watched beast games on a flight so maybe could see if there’s more of that. 


Anyone else have some recommendations on something she can binge that won’t make me want to pull my hair out.

Deleted the duplicate thread, I need to add a block to prevent double clicking the button since it's a little slow.

99 to beat was good, and the floor is tolerable.

Only 8 episodes, but Million Dollar Secret was pretty good.  Traitors is similar.  Both more strategy/social games
