If you need a dose of friendship in your streaming queue, shows like Firefly Lane will do the trick.
We've just reunited with our favorite KPOC duo, but things have gotten off to a tense start in Firefly Lane season 2: everyone's asking, "What did Tully do to Kate?" now that their bond is seemingly shattered. (Truthfully speaking, we're having a hard time contending with the rift.)
But a broken friendship is just one of the struggles facing the characters and their loyal following: Do Johnny and Kate get back together after their messy split? Does Kate die in Firefly Lane? Does Tully? Needless to say, emotions are high.
If you're looking for something to marathon after watching Kristin Hannah's book-turned-series on Netflix, allow us to give you a few suggestions. Firefly Lane season 1 and season 2 part 1 are currently available for streaming. For those asking, "When does Firefly Lane season 2 part 2 come out," we've got you covered there, too.
