Quarantine Comforts: What to Binge on Netflix this Weekend!

Hello, hello,
Another weekend in the Lockdown! Since most of us are staying home, I thought I'd share a few movies and series that I've been enjoying recently, in case some of you are at a loose end in terms of what to watch!

1. The Baby-Sitters Club 

Whether you grew up reading the books or not, The Baby-Sitters Club (streaming on Netflix)  is guaranteed to make you feel warm and fuzzy and make you miss your childhood friends! 

Especially, for those of us, who grew up in the simpler times of the 80s and 90s, the bonds between a gang of girls and the simple things that bring them joy will warm the cockles of your heart! Seriously, this is such a wholesome (without being corny) and heartwarming show! Watch it! Show it to your kids! Just watch it!

2. Desperados 

In the mood for watching something hilarious? Look no further! Desperados on Netflix is a laugh riot!!! 

After Wes drunkenly sends an angry email to her new, perfect boyfriend, she convinces her two best friends to accompany her to Cabo to delete said email from her hospitalised boyfriend's devices! All kinds of comic capers ensue! 

This movie is so, so funny and even has some of our beloved actors from New Girl! Bonus! 

3.  The Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga 

What do you get when you take an unsuccessful band from a tiny fishing village in Iceland to the biggest music contest in Europe? Much, much hilarity!! 

This movie is so cute and funny! Plus, there are songs with really bad, hilarious lyrics, so that is a bonus! Will Ferrell is a laugh riot and so is Dan Stevens (the Beast from The Beauty & The Beast). 

4. Unsolved Mysteries 

We've already watched and raved about this series on Netflix right here. You simply have to watch this series and then call your friends to discuss suspects and theories! It is so interesting and well made! 

5. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Okay, so, watching something apocalyptic may not be the best thing right now, given the state of the world, but this latest instalment of Jurassic World is fast-paced and insane and will, at least, distract you from all pandemic-related concerns! 

Plus, wasn't something in the news recently about scientists finding a way to clone dinosaurs from their DNA? So, um, watch and be afraid? *grin* 

Also, if you haven't watched it already, may I also recommend Dark? The whole world is raving about it and it is a very gripping, intense show. So, if that is the kind of stuff you enjoy, then do give it a whirl. 

Have a great weekend, guys!
