Photo: ‘Pet Stars’/Netflix The Reality Show Netflix Needed If you’re anything like me and half of the accounts you follow on social media belong to animals, you’re probably going to be a huge fan of Netflix’s newest reality series ‘Pet Stars’. As we all know, Netflix is no stranger to a wide range of reality television shows— from shows about wedding planning like ‘The Wedding Coach’ to selling multi-million dollar Los Angeles homes in ‘Selling Sunset’, and wild dating shows like ‘Too Hot to Handle’ and ‘Love is Blind’, it was about time for Netflix to deliver audiences an adorably hilarious reality show all about animals. ‘Pet Stars’, follows Pets on Q, an animal media company and booking platform for the world's most talented, popular, and unique-looking animals.

I met Danielle Perez during an event for the podcast The Bechdel Cast, where she was talking about “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” It was my first few weeks of living in Los Angeles, and as a disabled woman who was bemoaning the lack of disabled people in the city, to see a disabled woman of color not just onstage but rocking it was amazing.
Since that time, Perez has blossomed into a regular face in the stand-up world, and has been writing for television — her latest job is on the Netflix series “The Wedding Coach” — as well as making regular television appearances like in Ryan O’Connell’s Emmy-winning series “Special.”
When it comes to a discussion of representation, Perez approaches it differently because she became a wheelchair user when she was 20. But she was already cognizant of how television viewed her, as she is Afro-Latina. “I knew I...

Photo: ‘The Wedding Coach’/Netflix I’ll start off by admitting that I love weddings and I love shows about weddings. I grew up watching reruns of 'Say Yes to the Dress' ‘Whose Wedding is it Anyway?” and ‘Four Weddings’, so when I heard about this new Netflix reality show, I already knew I was going to love it. Jamie Lee serves as host and executive producer of the show along with one of her famous comedian/actor friends she invites to co-host each episode and help her along the way. For fans of love and chaos, couples planning out their big day, and watching the family drama unfold with some tears along the way, this might possibly be your next binge-watch.

Netflix is the king of the streaming world until proven otherwise. But in recent months the streamer’s lists of new releases have looked relatively sparse as competing media conglomerates remove their titles from Netflix’s library. With its list of new releases for April 2021, however, Netflix appears to have its original production machine operating at high capacity once again.
There are plenty of intriguing Netflix original series and films this month. The one that appears to have the highest blockbuster potential though is the series Shadow and Bone on April 23. Shadow and Bone is adapted from Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha-verse trilogy and should bring another compelling sci-fi/fantasy universe to the streaming world.
