As the call to socially isolate increases, businesses close, and working from home becomes the new norm (once a rare excitement, now a roadblock separating me from my work besties), my urge to fill the void of a busy, interactive schedule has grown. In the short amount of time I’ve been hanging out with my bad self, I’ve tackled feats I didn’t think I was capable of: I’ve deep cleaned my apartment, organized my closet by color (which was quite easy, considering neutrals make up 90 percent of my wardrobe), played hide and seek with my cat, and changed my letter-board six times, finally settling on the ole “good morning to everyone except the Coronavirus” bit.
If there has ever been an excuse to binge-watch an entire TV series in one sitting, this COVID-19 quarantine situation is it. While I’m normally one to re-watch The Office over and over, I can finally admit that after the sixth time of watching Dwight’s fire drill, I’m ready for a new series to sweep me off of my feet. If you are in the market for a new show to stream, consider adding these binge-worthy series to your to-watch list to help you through every up and down of your quarantine woes.
