What to Watch During the Stay at Home Order

Just like most of America, our Lightbox team has spent a good amount of time at home falling victim to Netflix binge watching. We have been asking each other for recommendations, and we thought, why not ask our lovely Lightbox fam what they have been watching? After receiving recommendations from 50 individuals, we have compiled a list of 35 shows that are binge-worthy. 

LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE: The highest recommended show was Little Fires Everywhere. It was recommended by eight people!  You can watch this show on Hulu. It has an amazing cast, such as Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. It has one season with eight episodes. Are you looking for a book to read? This show was originally a book! 

OZARK: The second highest, which was recommended by six people, is a show called Ozark. You can watch all three seasons on Netflix. The show is supposed to take place in our local Ozarks. The cast is also amazing with cast members such as Jason Bateman and Julia Garner.

TIGER KING: If you have been on social media at all the past few weeks, I guarantee you have seen other reviews and memes about this bizarre show. You can view this show on Netflix, and it has just one season so it is very easy and quick to watch. Let us know- did Carol Baskin kill her husband? 

We had a tie for fourth place between three great series. With three recommendations, it was Shitts Creek, Gilmore Girls, and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. You can watch Shitts Creek and Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and they each have multiple seasons. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist has one season that you can watch on Hulu!

Also a tie for fifth place, with two recommendations each, is The Office, The Outlander, All American, and Grey’s Anatomy. You can view all four of these shows on Netflix.
