5 TV Series to Binge During Lockdown

Hey everyone!

Because most of us are going into a forced period of being at home, I decided to put together some suggestions of TV shows you can watch on Netflix right now.

These are all great shows that will keep you going through this strange period we find ourselves in.

1. Virgin River


While this only has one season out so far, I highly recommend this show as I couldn't stop watching it and can't wait for a rewatch soon.

Virgin River follows a nurse as she escapes a painful past to work in a small town in the middle of nowhere. While this show reminds me of Hart of Dixie and Everwood, I still found it captivating and loved the diverse cast of characters. It has plenty of romance, drama and mystery to keep everyone entertained and waiting for the next season.

2. GLOW


GLOW is one of those awesome series that completely captures the feel of the 80's. This one is about a group of down-and-out women who find themselves involved in a wrestling show. Each character has a great background story and this is definitely focused on them rather than flashy action scenes.

I love the whole cast and there was parts of this show that made me feel every emotion possible. This is not a fluffy, shallow watch and also not for the kids. There are now 3 seasons available.

3. Stranger Things


Another TV series set in the 80's, Stranger Things is very addictive and reminds me of the pulp horror books I read when I was younger (Think RL Stine and Christopher Pike).

If you enjoy monsters, quirky characters and things that go bump in the night, then I highly recommend this and each season is just as good as the last.

4. Aggretsuko


Retsuko is just you average office worker, trying to get through the days of working for a horrible boss and dealing with her co-workers. At night, however, she vents her frustration by singing metal Karaoke. And that is basically the premise of this cute and fun show by the creators of Hello Kitty.

Anyone who has been at the bottom of the corporate food chain will find something to relate to and don't be put off by the animation style as this is seriously not for kids!

5. The Dragon Prince


This was complete surprise and delight. A beautifully animated series with a rich story that will keep the whole family entertained.

This series focuses on two human princes and an elven assassin and they team up to try save their people from a terrible war. I love this series so much and it will certainly appeal to adults as the story is just so good. There are now three seasons which do have a conclusion of sorts./


I hope these give you guys an idea of series to try out! I am going to think of more recommendation lists to help keep everyone entertained and busy for the next few weeks.

Stay home and be safe!
