If its members vote to ratify the contract, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike is now officially over. After over 100 days of fighting, the studios finally agreed to what the actors were fighting for in this new world of streaming services and artificial intelligence. When I first heard of this strike, I was proud of them because when you hear of this industry, striking for this long is not something you would imagine; I just wish leaders and members of other unions across America such as my own would have banded together to do the same.
During this time many of us were left to search and scramble for shows to occupy our time in the home when we had limited options and/or lack of promotion to bring awareness to some shows and films. Today I am listing some of the shows I have enjoyed and have premiered between July 14th and November 9th when the strike took place. It will take a little time for the many shows we love to come back, so I hope you enjoy this list until then as the weather is getting cooler and their may be more time spent indoors.
