Free Solo, but kinda wished there was more water and risk of drowning involved? Then you’re going to LOVE 100 Foot Wave. This six-episode docuseries follows big wave surfer Garrett McNamara, who is fearlessly (and often recklessly) chasing his dream of surfing a 100-foot tall wave.
In his pursuit of said ever-elusive, record-breaking wave, McNamara and his wife, Nicole, are credited with putting the small Portugal fishing village, Nazare, on the surfing map, drawing other big wave surfers to the destination known for its massive waves.
100 Foot Wave has been renewed for a second season — meaning, despite his repeated life-threatening injuries, McNamara plans to paddle right back out in search of the big one.
And I, for one, can’t wait to nervously cheer him on in Season 2. Watch it on HBO Max.Featuring the first sketch series cast made up entirely of Black women performing sketches dreamt up by a writer’s room made up entirely of Black women, A Black Lady Sketch Show will undoubtedly fill a void in your comedy lineup.
