WATCH: Suzelle DIY reviews her favourite TV shows
You can picture it – Suzelle and Marianne in their dressing gowns and fluffy pantoffels with a large spread of melktertjies and droewors getting ready for a moerse binge-watching session.
But what does South Africa’s First Lady of the interwebs like to watch when she’s not making braai pies? Check out this video where Suzelle reviews some of her favourite shows, and there are probably a few that you haven’t seen before.
She even gives a shout out to Tali Babes from Tali’s Wedding Diary. The two of them must’ve been separated at birth, because it’s crazy how similar they look.
Here are the shows that Suzelle DIY was talking about in her video.
Younger

First on Suzelle’s list is Younger, which was created by Darren Star, who also gave us Sex and the City. It’s a rom-com series about a 40 year-old single mom who pretends to be 26 to get a sweet job at a publishing company. It’s hilarious. Watch it now »
