With all of us quarantined for the foreseeable future, you might be finding yourself bored and uncertain of how to fill the time.

The clock is ticking, time is passing by, and you are searching for something to do. 

Some people have enjoyed painting, a simple walk around the block, or baking during quarantine. 

Others might favor the idea of relaxing and binge-watching a television show while being snuggled up in a warm blanket.

Luckily, Netflix has tons of new shows and movies that are constantly being added every week. However, it can often be difficult to choose a specific show or movie to watch amidst the vast selection. 

I picked a selection of eight shows that I highly recommend to binge watch during quarantine.

“YOU” TV-MA

This Lifetime series arrived on Netflix in late December, easily making the top of the charts for one of the most watched shows. “YOU” is a crime drama and thriller featuring Penn Badgely, who plays the role of Joe Goldberg, a book shop owner who tries to win the heart of Guinevere Beck, who is played by Elizabeth Lail. Quite frankly, Goldberg will do anything for love in the most obsessive and compelling ways, using technology to his advantage. “YOU” will not let you down and will definitely grab your attention as you can never expect what is coming next.
