Shows Like Too Hot to Handle

Siesta Key

MTV's Siesta Key is the perfect antidote to quarantine. Inspired by Laguna Beach, the show follows a group of friends who spend each summer in Florida's Siesta Key, where they party, date, and generally get into trouble. I think it's overtaken Dawson's Creek as my favorite show of all time, no word of a lie. WATCH NOW
