… five hours, and I want a binge

‘Blown Away’

When to watch: Now, on Netflix.

Season 2 of this glassblowing reality contest show is just as kindhearted as Season 1 and just as easy to down in one big gulp: There are only 10 episodes, and they’re each a half-hour. Contestants make cool glass objects, the judges offer restrained and supportive critiques, and we all learn about techniques and artistry. Fun! Learn from me and do not start this at midnight, unless you, too, love Googling “glass classes near me after Covid” at 4:30 in the morning.
