(Note: I did not receive any compensation I just randomly chose Netflix for this post.)
Who loves Netflix? I will admit I have had a lot of time on my hands lately, so I decided to give myself a fun little challenge recently. For a lot of us, we don’t really want to be outside right now {it is SOOO hot!} and need something we can do indoors. One of the things that I do to occupy my time is to watch tv shows and movies.
Over the past few weeks, I have challenged myself to find some new things to watch and if they turn out to be binge-worthy then that would be even better. I picked various new and old things to watch. At first, it was only going to be a list of shows I heard people were watching, but that’s no fun. So, I decided to pick a little over a dozen various shows/ movies off Netflix and watch at least the first episode (of the shows) and decide if I thought they were binge-worthy (in my opinion).
Where to begin? My take off the first viewing alone…
Shows/ Movies
- The Witcher – Starring Henry Cavill, based on a series of fantasy books, there is also a video game. I’m going to say I would watch more episodes because well… Henry Cavill!!
- The Crown– not gonna lie I’m already hooked! It follows the lives of the British Royal family since the early 1900s. Very riveting.
- Tiger King– I missed the boat when people were talking about this all-over social media. I saw one episode and it is definitely something. I don’t think it’s a show I NEED to see, but just for fun ya sure.
- Dark– Is interesting… a German tv show that is voiced over in English. From the first episode it seems like a mystery/drama with a touch of time travel. Seems like something to dive into if you have the time.
- Stranger Things– I remember people talking about this show all the time and I never got around to watching it. After the first episode I gather it’s a little science fiction/mystery. I always liked Winona Ryder and I curiosity is piqued.
- Bodyguard– starring Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden (swoon), as a war veteran who is assigned to protect a politician in this action/drama. If you learn anything about me it’s I will watch anything with a dreamy leading man! (Haha).
- Unsolved Mysteries– a reboot of the original series. This caught my attention from the beginning. A must watch!
- Space Force– something on the funny side. Starring Steve Carell, a spoof of the latest military branch.
- The Babysitters Club– a show for the kids. I don’t know about you but as a kid I used to love reading these books. About a group of young girls who start a babysitting business. I plan on watching this show with my daughter.
- Dead to Me– starring Christina Applegate, seems like a comedy/little bit of mystery. A widow searching for the hit and run driver who ran down her husband. Might give this one a try just based off Christina’s comedic banter with her costars.
- Desperados- a Netflix movie perfect for a girls night or even a date night. Starring Nasim Pedrad, Anna Camp, Lamorne Morris, a crazy romantic comedy.
- Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga- a ridiculously funny movie especially when you have stars like Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams. A hilarious musical comedy.
Other movies worth mentioning.
Extraction- two words… Chris Hemsworth!
Wine Country – Girls night type of movie!
Plenty of older movies like The Karate Kid, Indian Jones, Twister, and shows like Gilmore Girls, Glee, Parks & Rec.
I haven’t decided which to binge first. But I have a pretty good start. Which shows have you watched or want to start watching? Any I should add to my list?
