Hello beautiful people!
I hope you are taking walks, practicing social distancing and staying healthy. I know we’ve all been getting pretty antsy. Today I rounded up 5 Netflix shows you can binge-watch to pass the time.
Self Made
The TLDR an African American woman becomes the first self-made millionaire. This is a four-part mini-series. This is inspired by Madam C.J. Walker a pioneer for the black haircare industry. This series talks about her overcoming sexism, marriages and the road to being a successful businesswoman.
Schitt’s Creek
The TLDR is a rich family that finds themselves broke and has to move to a small town they bought as a joke. The long version is this show is a comedy written by Dan and Eugene Levy, whose expressive eyebrows alone are reason enough to watch. His wife is an ex-soap star from the 80s. She over the top language and wardrobe confuse and fascinate the members of this small town. Their adult children Alexis and David move with them since the town is technically owned by David, whose is father bought it for him as a joke. Alexis is a socialite who has traveled her entire childhood and loves to share stories. David was a failed art gallery worker and fashionista.
When They See Us
The TLDR 5 teenage boys are tried for a crime they did not commit. This is based on the true story of 5 teenage boys who were tried as adults for the rape of a girl in Central Park. This show will make you angry, sad and completely change your viewpoint on how flawed our media and justice system still is. There are only four episodes, so it is a quick watch.
Are there any shows you recommend watching?
If you liked Schitt’s Creek you would like The Ranch! I am on the last episode and am so sad about it. It’s super funny and an easy, mindless show to put on when doing other things.
Thank you for the recommendation I just finish Schitts Creek last night and was so sad 😂! I will. Check out the Ranch!
I can’t believe I’ve not seen any of these! Everyone at my work tells me I have to watch When They See Us so I’m definitely checking that out next! Xx
It’s so good! The director had the actually men come on set as consultants for each character so it’s as true to life as possible.
