// JSONObject 'jsonData' was loaded from data.json

JSONArray jsonShows = jsonShows.getJSONArray("shows");
data.json 
{
    "name":"Netflix Playlist",
    "shows":[
        {
            "title":"Doctor Who",
            "season":8,

Alex;

Ooooh, you are close. You are attempting to load your JSON data from jsonShows, but the data object is named jsonData. Make that minor adjustment and you are good.

Happy coding,

Ken
