Welcome to Season 2 of 200 And Counting!!! 

On this episode, Tia finally gets into the most talked about doc of the holiday season, Netflix's absolutely terrifying online mystery: Don't F**k With Cats. The doc follows the story of a Facebook group who takes on the task of locating a kitten killer, and the madness that unfolds. It's thrilling but terrifying and you will definitely be left with some questions (and maybe some nightmares). Some MAJOR SPOILERS in this episode as well as graphic descriptions of violence.

Happy holidays!!! In honor of the holiday season, Tia dives into the African American culinary staple of soul food with Soul Food Junkies. It's all about whether or not soul food is healthy (technically, no), its impact on the African American community (in many ways, good), and it features several mentions of yams and/or sweet potato pie. It's a doc all about African American food, culture, history and how all that trickles down to present day.

On this episode, Tia dives into Three Identical Strangers, the documentary that tbh sounds like something out of a fairytale. It tells the store of three identical triplets who were separated at birth but find each other years later as adults and the twisted backstory that made it happen.

On this episode, Tia discusses the horrifying two part true crime doc I Love You, Now Die. It follows the story of Michelle Carter, who was given prison time after being charged with manslaughter in the suicide of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy. At the time it happened, it was crazy as hell. Watching the doc after the fact is even crazier. Tia talks just how messed up of a situation it was, social media relationships, and how embarrassing it would be to have people read through your texts (very).  

Warning: This episode discusses topics of suicide.

She's baaaaaack! In this episode, after a lil hiatus, Tia tackles The Seven Five, a gripping documentary about the 75th police precinct in New York City during the 1980s and Michael Dowd, the corrupt cop who ran the streets. It's a rollercoaster of emotion from start to finish and honestly, almost everyone involved is triflin.

On this episode, Tia talks about the film that's made her reconsider ever posting on Instagram again (not really who is she kidding lmao): Jawline. It's all about wannabe teen influencers, rabid fan girls, and how social media is even sadder than we all thought it was. The moral of the story? Don't drop out of school to be an influencer, it only works maybe 50% of the time.
