I highly recommend marathoning "bestdressed", every character in it is wholesome. My personal favorite is "Editting ashley". All in all, you can feel the effort and heart the writer put into it, pushing through her mental struggles to make her audience feel a warm sense of companionship which is sorely needed in this cursed corona times. I just discovered you less than a week ago and im so glad i did. May your life be blessed with more serotonin good ma'am

Anne with an E is a literal gem. Almost every episode had me in tears. Since Anne is an orphan, she has to deal with so much internal conflict and trauma. It’s a beautiful journey watching her find herself. I strongly recommend it.

I really recommend Avatar the last Airbender. I'm not sure if Ashley has seen it but it's one of those shows that has had a lasting impact on my life. It's on Netflix and even though its target audience may be children, it has complex themes of war, sacrifice, duty, and love.

[@bestdressed]

i grew up watching every episode of avatar!! i remember loving it, although i think i was too young to fully understand what was going on lol and i just wanted to own a fluffy flying bison and be an earthbender. i wanna rewatch it soon!

Avatar: The Last Airbender is to this day one of my favorite shows. The character development is excellent and the universe they created is wonderful. It deals with big issues like blind patriotism, indoctrination, war and its consequences, morality, growth and grief. And its characters are just super loveable.

[@polarisscale7030]

Iroh is the best character hands down

[@Szzzzx]

[@ninebustarhyme4709]

I'm literally in the process of rewatching it now, and I'm still so amazed at how incredibly complex and realistic all of the characters are portrayed. It's just such a beautiful story about how relationships can heal and strengthen you. It shows realistic conflict situations and how trauma patterns are broken through different parental and platonic relationships. It's so empowering to minorities and has genuine representation of what societal practices do to perpetuate injustice and inequality.

[@corab4045]

BOJACK HORSEMAN IS THE BEST SHOW EVER PERIOD. And that‘s coming from someone who never picks favorites. It is funny, real, tragic, smart, philosophical, and somehow the most human show ever despite the fact that it‘s about a talking horse.

Jade Hsin in my experience people need to watch a couple of episodes to really get into it, the creators of the show themselves have said in the past that they felt like they had to ease people into the concept of the show which is why it only really takes off after a couple of episodes.

"Killing eve" is soooo goddddd. The clothes are amazing and the characters are written so well. Even though pheobe doesn't write season 2, her dark and cynical tone still feels present. Season 3 is interesting... Also "the end of the fucking world" is so cute and has such interesting characters and cinematography. The show "crazy ex-girlfriend" is so well-written and has really interesting commentary on mental health and feminism that is voiced through cheesy musicals that inevitably makes you think but also is just fun. We love fun.

[@asialanzi5471]

I know you filmed this like 3 times, so I just wanted to let u know that we appreciate your hard work! I also know that u didn’t feel the best while filming this, so pls don’t force yourself to produce content if u don’t want to! It’s okay to take a break sometimes! sending all my strength and love to you! anyway I honestly absolutely admire you! your videos are always so well shot and edited! so refreshing and so incredibly special! your videos always make me feel better and they hold a special place in my heart! you actually made me overcome my fear of starting my own youtube channel! so I just wanted to thank you so much for being such an inspiration

[@TheLittleFangirl]

THIS THIS THIS!!!

[@beril9539]

[@madelineneely3238]

!!! we love you ashley! we would still love you even if you need to take a break 😘

[@asialanzi5471]

beril I wish!!

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodsm4708]

All I’m gonna say is AVATAR AVATAR AVATAR. I don’t know if you’ve watched it yet but if you haven’t, it’s on Netflix now. WATCH IT. It goes from a good show to absolutely fantastic

[@scrivspo]

Omfg YES. I just finished watching it as an ‘adult’ and it’s actually incredible. It’s #1 on imdb’s top tv shows of all time lol

[@toma8406]

I was gonna suggest it too! I loved it as a child and recently rewatched it, it's my favourite show ever!

[@jay-ts8ux]

There is no way that film major Ashley hasn’t seen Avatar

[@imsomeya]

unpopular opinion: I actually really like LOK. It's different from ATLA but it portrays a lot of emotions outside of how ATLA would have run the show. idk I cried on a lot of the scenes in LOK and I don't see why it gets so much hate. As the great Cole Sprouse once said "don't yuck other people's yums" :)

[@gabriellaprofetto4126]

Yes yes and yes! I grew up watching it as a child and I still watch it now sometimes, as an almost twenty year old! It's really good and I really recommend to watch it at least once

[@natalienicolechetty1870]

So I randomly stumbled upon this channel because of outfit options or something. But wow you have truly added so much to my days. You're incredible and relatable and so talented.

[@gabbybullock8894]

girl don’t downplay the fact that you graduated from film school!! it’s really valuable hearing what you have to say about movies and tv shows, be proud❤️

[@jodielouise3618]

ANNE WITH AN E - CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH, TACKLES FEMINISM, RACISM, SEXUAL ASSAULT, INDIGENOUS REPRESENTATION, CLASS, EDUCATION, HUMAN RIGHTS, GRIEF, LGBTQ+, FAMILY, ROMANCE....pretty much everything. And the acting and cinematography are to die for!

[@-d3088]

YESSS!!! It is one of the best shows I have ever seen, definitely worth a watch.

[@BrenoMoreru]

UP

[@alij1876]

Can really recommend Brooklyn 99 or The Good Place! They’re so funny, and are really cleverly written plus all the characters are amazing and don’t fall into stereotypes, they’re so fun to watch and I love them! Also THANKYOU for mentioning Jigsaw, it completely changed my perspective on relationships too and I’m so glad I’m not the only one!

[@allielee]

The Good Place is aa hilarious masterpiece!

[@snehapurswani8723]

Ashley should have a podcast where she would talk about different life experiences because it's so fascinating that she looks at the world so differently but is still truly relatable

[@moanabenice]

I highly recommend "Anne with an E", it's such a beautiful, special show. The cinematography is wonderful as well as the scenery and costumes, the dialogues are incredibly well done and the actors play amazingly. It's another one of those shows that makes you laugh and cry, think about life and challenges you to question yourself. It is so good. And some other shows I loved are "The Rain", "Atypical", "Over the garden wall" and "Everything sucks".

[@yourlocalavocado2948]

i love Anne with an E so much, as well as two of the other shows you mentioned! I guess I really gotta watch the other ones then :P

[@oliviasantarsiero2182]

Everything Sucks! WAS MY FAV omg

[@SchokoN]

Couldn't agree more! I love the show but not many people are watching it :(

[@mcxlii]

i think i spotted a lesbian, or am i just overreacting?

[@mils9495]

Also, it talks about topics such as racism, sexual assault, beauty standards, human rights, feminism, child abuse, foster care, lgbtq+ rights, and grief.

[@islaymaggie8167]

big little lies is honestly one of the most well-acted things i have ever seen! i watched it with my family and there were scenes, particularly the ones with celeste and the therapist, where you could literally hear a pin drop, we were so focused on it.

[@ll-gl8vy]

did you watch little fires everywhere?

[@islaymaggie8167]

l l no but i want to!

[@pomelocider]

this list is amazing and ily, it's just that it's in dire need of some "avatar: the last airbender" teehee

[@CassieG.]

YESS

[@vs-ej1qc]

she put it in her ig story! I wanted to hear her talk about it tho...

[@skrtii]

SUPERIOR show

[@DottieRenee]

No you're definitely right

[@unicornsquatbae7430]

I don't know what makes it so amazing, but YES IT IS THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE

[@veronicac347]

I truly appreciate you. I could listen to you talking about the things that you’re interested in for literally hours (and I never go over the 10 minutes long videos). I really like the way you can be realistic and objective but also include and express your emotions, thoughts and ideals. In the last few months I've come to find comfort in your videos and I am truly thankful for your existence here on the internet. I hope you find your true happiness and stability and that you never lose your passion for your work and all the things that you love

[@meganadele]

5:40 "If a movie has done something really well, why would you make it into a tv show..." THIS RIGHT HERE!!!! I feel like I've been screaming about this a lot recently.

[@rileylovesbedcover]

What We Do in the Shadows did it really well

[@sophiewang4205]

i was thinking that too abt parasite! it just seemed like a white-washed way to milk more money from a four-oscar movie, but bong joon ho is in the project and he said himself that he had to cut some parts from the movie and he wanted to show them through the series, so i'm just glad he gets to do that

[@EliaMitzell]

Also the snowpiercer tv series... why

[@alishaaugustine1811]

Shows everyone should watch : - normal people - based of a really amazing book and portrays love between people who always have wrong timing but can’t let go - SKAM - a show about kids struggling with their own lives/issues, each season is a different character so it’s not overdone and it comes in a variety of versions for each country ( I recommend the OG SKAM which is Norwegian)

[@an-ti9vw]

SKAM is amazing and sooo underated

[@miranda8682]

I agree

[@sarahe.4120]

Skam is my favorite

[@johanna25w]

Yeeeees Skam omg!!!

[@bethanyh3767]

SKAM IS THE GOAT

[@ameliayorkie9990]

literally no one: Ashley: god I would be such a good dad.

[@sabrinajnguyen]

But the baby eating tho

[@andy-nx4mw]

can she adopt me

[@claudiahockwin8929]

It's so amazing to see other people liking Fleabag, because I love the show and I always found the show so comforting. Unfortunately none of my friends watch the show or want to watch it.

[@VenoCenteno]

I love how we can clearly see how passionate you are about everything that makes these tv shows great. You can absolutely make me watch anything you describe.

[@maybevivi]

There's this kdrama called "Hello, my twenties" (on netflix) with 5 female leads all struggling with different issues. One has an abusive boyfriend, another is an escort, etc., but they start out as just roommates coexisting and you'll see them grow together. Many twists and turns as kdramas are but it's made me laugh and cry so I really hope you'll watch it too. And for any ashley stans who want a variety of female leads jammed into one wholesome show 😉, check it out!

[@fishi246]

i love that show !!

[@mathildesm954]

Such a good show! Loved it 💕

[@orsikocs]

I cried so much on the first ep and laughed too. It's such a good show. A rare gem from korea

[@sulwhasoo3550]

I love this show so much! the female friendships and characters in this show are so well-developed and so heart-warming

[@amoasiwaibrahim3762]

This is show is so wholesome and to a certain extent relatable as 20 year old females

[@ninatanlaven7154]

Dark on Netflix is severely underrated and I also like sense 8.

[@Lizbotytt]

dark is a true masterpiece. i fully agree. it's like a cooler more sci-fi stranger things and they actually try to explain the science behind the plot

[@jackie4771]

nina tanlaven YESSS. Sense 8 is amazing. I was so devastated when they stopped making it.

[@nabeelaudah5171]

YEAAASSSS

[@РинатНизаев-ъ7в]

=_ Юга00

[@turnipswillneverhurtyou3934]

YES FINALLY! DARK IS SO INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED ITS CRIMINAL, FROM THE STORY TO THE CINEMATOGRAPHY ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND WELL DONE, NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS SHOW

[@jwinkies3011]

I feel like you'd like Crazy Ex Girlfriend- it's a (sometimes dark) comedy musical that deals with stereotypes, mental health and turns rom coms on its head

[@AnjaliJangra10]

I know right. I really thought she would have watched it. Rachel Bloom is as good as Phoebe waller bridge.

[@bububaba3867]

If you enjoy shows to laugh AND cry to, i can only recommend Brooklyn 99. It might seem a bit "wierd" in the beginning, but it is a really good comedy. The character development is amazing and it actually has healthy relationships. It's also really diverse , without their sexuality or their race being their only character trait. It adresses some serious issues as well and the show's just really funny. It quickly became one of my favourite things to watch, so if you like that kind of show, you should check out. :) (Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language)

[@ell4332]

omg i love brooklyn 99 sooo much

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

“Hi, and welcome to another episode of Ashley Tries To Justify the Fact That She Spent Three Years in Film School™️” HAHAAAAA you are the QUEEN 😂

[@septemily]

“I would kill a small child for her” “I would eat a small child for her” *begins dialing 911*

[@Mariguzman98]

Also “I would kill children for most of these celebrities...” so weird. There are so many other things she could’ve said

[@fei7134]

Yeah, that is not a joke I support. Made me wonder why on earth she said that.

[@myranguyen133]

I agree. I can’t tell if she was joking abt it bc she did said “LITERALLY”.......

[@trishagudeman1648]

I'm pretty sure she was joking. I don't take things like that to seriously and you shouldn't either. Just laugh and know that she is probably joking.

[@mkh1513]

I’m a big fan of best dressed but joking about killing children is disgusting

[@unrealmai]

Ashley you should watch 'After Life' - it's a dark british humour that you love about a guy who lost his wife to cancer and him grieving while trying to move on. Its really beautiful and both incredibly funny but sad at the same time. A beautiful mix

[@alyssumflowers]

Although it isn’t a tv show I really recommend watching The Half of It on Netflix. I don’t usually love the movies Netflix creates but this one is definitely going on my favourite movies list. it’s just so witty and unexpectedly heartwarming and has an amazing take on love. I’m just in love with the cinematography and cast and the director Alice Wu ugh I love it all!

[@allielee]

I LOVED IT

[@allielee]

I found out that Alice Wu went to my high school many years ago :') that just makes it even more special to me lol

[@AF-tl6ek]

this film had me bawling and I do bawl a lot but nonetheless BAWLING

[@meghna9479]

OMG IT IS PROBABLY MY FAVOURITE MOVIE OF THE YEAR. I love everything said through this movie and every character and considering the amount of hype To All The Boys and some other other shittier rom-coms in Netflix gets ( cough-cough kISsINg BoOtH) this one is criminally underrated and everyone should watch it

[@alyssumflowers]

Allie L. That’s so cool! After the half of it I’ll see any any movie she makes haha

[@rowana.7350]

I also have a mind-blowing relationship advice: “If someone gets to know you and chooses to leave , how can they be right for you ?"

[@brittneyriley2648]

Idk there’s a lot more variables when it comes to mature love. You can truly know someone and it’s not the right time in either of your journeys’ to be together. Life is very long and sometimes the best way to love someone is to walk away. Growing apart can bring you together and in a better way

[@airaprism6201]

That hit me sis💀✋🏻

[@lols2912]

I really needed this, another thing that i want to point out is the timing, like sometimes you watch/read a book/series/movie when you need it and that makes it soo much better. Also, Anne with an e is an amazing show. It’s basically a modernization of Anne of the green gables and touches soo many themes that are relevant to this day

[@ashantafernandez6452]

I loved BoJack Horseman, I’m glad you mentioned it because without you I wouldn’t have known how great it is. Sad that there won’t be anymore seasons.

[@akatanna]

you should do a "taking myself on a date in quarantine" like without leaving your house but having fun by yourself

[@AmberRoseanna]

I vote for this 100%!

[@ecv2g]

on another note: ashley, girl. UR EYE MAKEUP WE LOVE

[@kirinpatient5857]

this is my one and only flex: I know the girl who plays little Emma Stone in Maniac and I beat her in a Shakespeare competition

[@pwupzitos]

im not even interested on the shows i just want to listen to ashley talk cuz it gives me a sense of comfort

[@abbeyprendi]

The OA is one of the strangest yet beautifully written and acted shows I have ever watched. Definitely recommend it!

[@shiomara3349]

Deeply underrated

[@leah7610]

dude yessss. i love that show! season 2 was not my cup of tea tho lol.

[@soumil5794]

What is OA

[@stephaniev.7414]

@@leah7610 really? I honestly liked season 2 better than season 1. I recommend watching it again maybe you'll see it differently:)

[@sparkydoodle96]

It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced

[@cubone4]

Ashley: I had a crush on an Australian Me: G'day

Big recommendation for The Handmaids Tale. The storyline is so brilliant, the characters are interesting, I just find it so unique and incredible

[@haileynelson3058]

Kayla Borg I agree! So good

[@katreenarago7355]

i saw it was on netflix and i was like, “WHAT THE FUCK” and started watching it immediately

[@kggroom]

My sister is obsessed 😂

[@sasukeism6881]

i just finished season 4 of bojack horseman and i’m pretty sure it’s one of the most emotional shows i’ve ever seen, every character feels so real and it honestly makes me scared abt becoming an adult
