In the first months of quarantine, chances are you went through most of your queue. With online classes, you probably still have time for enough TV to keep that social distancing loneliness at bay. If you’re looking for something new to watch, here’s some shows we love on Netflix.
The Good Place
Genre: comedy
Vibes: good vs evil, dry humor, sarcasm, sensational
Info: 4 seasons
After you die, there’s only two options: the Good Place, or the Bad Place. But what if you get put in the Good Place…accidentally? This show is forking hilarious, if a little weird (I’m talking flying shrimp, massive sinkholes, and all-knowing robots). Constant laughs are guaranteed, the plot never gets stale, and the ending of season one has one of the best twists on television.
Gilmore Girls
Genre: comedy, drama
Vibes: cozy, emotional, romance
Info: 7 seasons
Gilmore Girls follows a mother-daughter pair as they navigate through heartbreak, coffee cravings, and Friday night dinners with the grandparents. This warm and cozy show is all small towns, big hearts, and constant laughs. You’ll fall in love with the characters and wish you were living in adorable Stars Hollow.
Broadchurch
Genre: crime drama
Vibes: mysterious, tense, psychological thriller
Info: 3 seasons, British tv show
David Tenant and Olivia Colman star in this serial crime drama about the murder of a young boy in a small British town. Each season centers on a different mystery in the same town, so you really get to know each character. It’s tense, mysterious, and seriously intriguing. The series is known for its powerful writing, cinematography, and character development – you don’t want to miss it.
The Circle
Genre: reality competition
Vibes: connection, diverse, thoughtful, silly
Info: 1 season, Netflix original
If you’re looking for something fun and easy to watch, go no further than The Circle. Players are quarantined (fitting, right?) in their own separate apartments and can only interact with their competitors through social media. There’s catfishing, backstabbing, and everything in between. One of the best things about this reality show is that the cast is so diverse you’re sure to find someone to root for!
Ozark
Genre: crime drama
Vibes: dark, family, drugs
Info: 3 seasons, Netflix original
Money laundering, drug cartels, lake resorts – Ozark really has it all. This dark and captivating series follows a man and his family as they become wrapped up in a criminal scheme. The writing is intelligent, the production is beautiful, and the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat.
