We’re all getting through this differently. One of my less-productive quarantine past-times is binge watching a few favorite shows! I would be lying if I said I didn’t always love a good binge session but I’m especially enjoying them right now because I have a little less guilt.Here have been ten of my favorites from Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.
// Orphan Black //
A Canadian science fiction thriller starring Tatiana Maslany, who is playing several roles– as clones! Try this show out if you wonder what ethical issues may exist around human cloning and how it effects identify! You can watch all five seasons of Orphan Black on Amazon Video.
// I’m Sorry //
This is a Netflix Original series created by and starring Andrea Savage, a comedy writer, wife, and mom experiences unexpected life situations. I thought the show was absolutely hysterical and blew through the entire series.
// Ozark //
This Netflix series released the third season. It’s about a finance Chicago based professional who must move his family to MO to continue laundering money for a drug boss. This is one of the few shows on the list that may actually appeal to you and your significant other!
// The Good Place //
This is an NBC show that’s available on Netflix through Season 3. The show gives you a look into afterlife as you evaluate what makes you a good person and how you can make it to “The Good Place”. I don’t want to give away too much, but it stars Kristen Bell so, enough said.
// Little Fires Everywhere //
This is a Hulu series based on Celeste Ng’s book, starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. It’s currently being released one episode per week with the first seven episodes are available now. This is one that I’m watching with my mom and sister and it’s getting somewhat mixed reviews.
// Marvelous Mrs. Maisel //
This Prime original takes you back to the 1950s in Manhattan. The comedy follows a witty Jewish girl who’s perfect life took a change that allowed her to discover her comedic value. This one’s been popular for awhile, but if you haven’t joined the cult– now’s the time!
// The Handmaid’s Tale //
This Hulu series is based on Margaret Atwood’s 2013 dystopian novel. The show stars Elisabeth Moss in a future that plays with questionable power, gender, religious, and political issues. Warning: it’s dark.
// Catastrophe //
In this catastrophic Prime comedy, an American visits London and life and mistakes play from there. Take a little time from your own mistakes and watch the stars of this show see that life can go different than expected.
// Schitt’s Creek //
This Candadian sitcom is a true cult-favorite. It aired on CBC (it’s last episode aired April 7, 2020). You can watch seasons 1-6 on Netflix now. Watch the wealthy Rose family go broke overnight and learn to adapt to their new lives in Schitt’s Creek. I will admit, it took me almost an entire season to appreciate the dramatic, sarcastic acting but I have loved it since then! Plus, Alexis Rose (played by Annie Murphy) is my fashion idol!
// You //
This Netflix original is based on Caroline Kepnes’ novel. The show stars Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl. The main character is a brilliant man who would do anything for love.
Thanks for checking out Colorfully Grey.
