Shows to Binge Watch

Like most people, we’ve been in a Netflix & TV wormhole. Spending most evenings in front of the TV isn’t how we usually like to spend our nights (especially when it’s warm) but since heading out has been a tricky situation, we’ve been delving into all these amazing TV Series and we’d love to know your thoughts too. Keep reading for recommendations and we’d love to hear what you’ve been loving!

Normal People @normalpeoplehulu

Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can't. Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there.

Dark @darknetflix

The series is conceptually dark, full of cheating spouses, ugly secrets, grotesque killings, and dead birds falling from the sky in a hail of limp, twisted bodies. But more noticeably, it's as physically dark as an early David Fincher movie, and it carries the same level of ominous weight.

Hollywood @hollywoodnetflix

In post-World War II Hollywood, aspiring actors and filmmakers will do almost anything to make their showbiz dreams come true. The series follows a group of aspiring actors and filmmakers in post-World War II Hollywood (1947–1948) as they try to make it in the film industry—no matter what the cost. Each character offers a unique glimpse behind the gilded curtain of Hollywood's Golden Age, noting entrenched power, challenges to that power, and biases of many kinds that continue to this day. The show is described as exposing and examining decades-old power dynamics, and what the entertainment landscape might look like if they had been dismantled.
