Well, my friends, summer is coming to an end. And so we say goodbye to some of our favorite summer series (hope it’s not forever, Trial & Error), hello to some returning friends (yay, Molly and Issa!), and welcome some new shows onto our schedules (what’s up, Lodge 49?). This month’s quotes made us fall in love with rom-coms again (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, sigh) and completely freaked us out (we are still recovering from Sharp Objects).
Once again, we’ve polled our trusty TV team for their favorite quotes. And remember, if you hear a great quote, tweet me at @AmyTVGal or email me at [email protected], and you might see it here next month. One note: As we do with our weekly power list, streaming shows that debut all at once are eligible for six weeks.
Enjoy your last few days of summer!

“I’d always fantasized about falling in love in a field, but I just never thought it’d be the kind where you played lacrosse.” Lara Jean (Lana Condor).
Younger
