Students are tuning in to a mix of streaming shows and major sports events — and what they watch says a lot about how teens stay connected with pop culture today.

After asking around, many students mentioned the FX on Hulu show Snowfall (trailer). The crime drama, known for its intense storylines and powerful characters, has caught the attention of many Northwood students through clips and reactions shared on social media. Even if they haven’t watched full episodes, students often reference memorable scenes or discuss the show’s dramatic moments with friends.
Another series that comes up in conversation is Landman on Paramount (trailer), a drama about life in the oil industry. While the show is generally more popular with adult audiences, Northwood students have still seen dramatic clips and quotes from it circulating on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. These short shared moments often spark curiosity and group chats about the show.

Sports are also a significant part of what Northwood students watch. NFL games are especially popular — many students follow their favorite teams, check out highlights, and talk about big plays with friends. Some students watch full games, but many keep up with the action through short video highlights that are easy to watch between classes or during free time.
NHL hockey also draws interest, especially given Northwoods’ strong winter sports culture. While not every student watches every game, big matchups and exciting highlight reels often get shared and discussed. For hockey fans at Northwood, goals, fantastic saves, and big rivalries are common topics of conversation.
At Northwood School, what students watch reflects both their personal tastes and the influence of social media — from gripping dramas like Snowfall and Landman to the thrill of Sunday football and hockey highlights. These shared viewing experiences help bring students together, whether they’re chatting between classes or hanging out after school.
