Netflix Binge List

With practically the entire world on lockdown, this time of isolation has spawned a new routine: wake up, go to class, binge Netflix, repeat. With events postponed, festivals canceled, and movie theaters closed, many have found themselves relying on their screens more than ever for entertainment. Amid our once-in-a-lifetime situation (fingers crossed!), perhaps it’s finally time to get through that Netflix binge list:

Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) – This Spanish drama depicts the themes of mystery, crime, and action, focusing on the “perfect” bank heist carried out by a group of robbers. Led by “The Professor,” the group dons red jumpsuits and signature Salvador Dali masks before stealing billions from the Royal Mint of Spain. A go-to if you are looking for an engaging drama that makes you feel a bit better about procrastinating on that Spanish homework. 

Outer Banks – This popular new production follows four teenagers — the “pogues” — living on the poor side of an island in coastal North Carolina. When one of them discovers a secret message from his father, who was presumed lost-at-sea, the group heads off on a thrilling, and possibly deadly, treasure hunt. This show is sure to hook you, offering a break from those quarantine blues and a glimpse of those breezy summer vibes.

All American – After high-school football star Spencer James is recruited to join the team at Beverly Hills High, he is forced to scramble between the two worlds of his haunting past and his present life. This inspiring drama explores themes of classism, racism, and bullying. 

Gilmore Girls – This show is a lot closer to Choate than one might initially think. The series focuses on the relationship between Rory Gilmore and her young mother, Lorelai Gilmore, taking viewers through the ups and downs of Rory and Lorelai’s lives, including Rory’s years at Chilton, a fictional prep school based on our own school. This hilarious, heart-warming show won’t disappoint.
