Gen Shimizu founded Yama Mountain Gear to cater to long distance backpackers. He has completed the Appalachian Trail, rode the Great Divide Route – on a unicycle! – and is chipping away at the Pacific Crest Trail. His philosophy on learning what each trail has to teach a hiker, and to just enjoy nature is a great lesson for all of us to learn.

5 reasons why ‘Adolescence’ on Netflix is a must-watch

The series is told in four single take episodes that feel like real time

The cast of Adolescence.

Netflix makes it difficult to tell which shows are worth your time. New shows pop up every week, and discerning the good from the bad is nearly impossible. Sometimes, though, something breaks through all the noise on the server and reminds everyone what great TV can and should look like.

Adolescence, which hit the streamer on March 13, is one such show, and it's one you should definitely make time for. The series, which is just four episodes long, follows a family who find themselves confronting the unthinkable after their 13-year-old son is arrested for murdering a schoolmate. As they attempt to reckon with the fallout, they learn more about exactly what their son is accused of. Here are five reasons you should make time for this show:

8 power-packed shows like Succession to add to your watchlist

Family dramas and sarcastic societal critiques that are just like 'Succession'

Brian Cox as Logan Roy

Succession finished in 2023, but many TV diehards are still searching for an adequate replacement. This Jesse Armstrong-created drama carried HBO's legacy of quality programming for a quartet of iconic seasons. The Roy children battle inner turmoil and traumatic family relationships when their wealthy father decides to start trying out replacement CEOs for his business. Succession's gorgeous set pieces and dense characters make it feel like a Shakespearean experience updated for a modern audience. Talented actors like Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, and many others brought a supreme script to life.

If you're like me, you miss the family drama, backstabbing, and political commentary used in Succession. In that case, you should check out these dramas and black comedies that incorporate more than a couple of the show's elements into their arsenal. Not every show on this list has three Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, but in my opinion, all of them are fantastic. You'll love these shows like Succession if you're a fan of great TV.

Love an immersive crime drama? Here's what you should check out

Kaitlin Olson stars in High Potential

The thrill of watching people solve crimes for our entertainment never seems to go out of style. Anytime a TV executive wants to find the next big hit, expect them to craft a plot about cops, detectives, or even everyday people debunking the big questions. Crime dramas let fans live vicariously through the fictional characters without having to be involved in the stress of actual murder in the real world. Not many streamers have more crime dramas to indulge in this fantasy than Hulu.

The best crime shows on Hulu feature great characters, unique mysteries, and a ton of creativity. Hulu has also served as a fantastic hub for network shows and forgotten crime dramas from yesteryear. These shows are all on the more serious side of the genre, so if you're wondering where Only Murders in the Building is on the list, you're not going to find it. No comedy here, just drama. Time to dive into Hulu's expansive crime drama library for an addicting, binge-worthy weekend of TV.
