Shows to catch up on while staying indoors

As we stay at home to curb the spread of the coronavirus, we finally have some time to catch up on all the popular shows that everyone is always talking about. From the classics you really should have seen by now to your friends' current favourites, treat yourself to the binge you always claimed you wanted, with these great shows on Netflix.

Peaky Blinders

Breaking Bad

The award-winning show, BreakingBad, is filled with shocking moments of violence and wry humour, portraying the rise and fall of Walter White and his conspirators. It is best experienced in intense, indulgent binges. With the acclaimed spin-off  BetterCallSaul and the movie ElCamino, which serves as an epilogue to the original show, there has never been a better time to take the dive into the fictional world of blue meth.

Breaking Bad

You

This show was a big hit when it arrived on Netflix, but you may have resisted it after you found that everyone on your social media feeds was hooked to it. While the subject matter is disturbing, the show is presented in such an over-the-top manner, that you wouldn't have any real-life concerns. It's compulsively watchable, without making you think too hard about anything.

BoJack Horseman

It's a goofy animated series unlike those that came before it – a middle-aged man (read: horse) consistently struggles to stay out of trouble while dealing with the downside of fame. Although you would be hard pressed to find a moment in BoJackHorseman that isn't a hilarious one, the series has some dark and emotionally ambitious moments that will hook you from beginning to end.

Peaky Blinders

This early 20th century period drama revolves around Thomas Shelby, a World War I veteran turned patriarchal crime boss who wants to up his family's social and financial status in England. The story is loosely inspired by the exploits of real-life gangs in Birmingham during the late 1800s to early 1900s. This one is a great pick for the history buffs.
