Binge Watching Made Easy: A Quarantine Movie and TV Show List for Every Taste
With the world in lockdown, many of us have found ourselves with an abundance of free time. Binge watching has become a popular way to pass the time, with many turning to streaming services for entertainment. Over the past month, here are the shows and movies I’ve been enjoying, alongside recommendations from friends and family.
TV Show Recommendations
The show recommendations come from a diverse mix of genres, ranging from classic series to newer discoveries. For the dedicated fans among us, 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul' are an absolute must-watch. The intricate plot, deep characters, and no commercials make these series stand out.
Another long-running hit, 'The Walking Dead' has been a mainstay for many viewers during quarantine. The newest addition to the lineup, 'Game of Thrones', I couldn't recommend it enough. I've watched 65 episodes in a month, and it’s full of twists and turns that keep you guessing.
Historical dramas like 'Vikings' and 'The Last Kingdom' have offered a change of pace for me, with 'The Office' being a lighter, more humorous option. For those who love commentary and social issues, 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' and 'Drunk History' are thoughtful and often hilarious.
For those seeking a bit more adventure, 'Lost', 'Malcolm in the Middle', 'The Sopranos', and 'Shameless' have kept me engrossed. 'Dexter', 'Six Feet Under', and 'Hi Score Girl' are some of the newer titles that have caught my eye for their unique storytelling and unconventional heroes.
Another show that’s been thoroughly enjoyed by the family is 'The Tin Man'. This series has been praised for its engaging plot and character development, making it a standout choice for those looking for something different.
Movie Recommendations
The array of movies I've watched has ranged from favorites like 'The Lord of the Rings' series, which was a thrilling adventure, to the more obscure 'The Platform', a film that offers a dark and intense narrative. Other films that caught my attention include 'The Matrix', 'Sky High', and the action-packed 'Star Trek'. 'Scooby-Doo' and 'Batman' with Christian Bale added a nostalgic and thrilling flavor to our movie nights.
Taking the movie list a step further, we’ve also watched classics like 'Jack Reacher', 'Minority Report', 'Oblivion', 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters', and the musical 'The Greatest Showman'. Additionally, 'The Mummy' with Brendan Fraser brings a mix of action and horror, making it a riveting choice for entertainment.
Film and Show Variety
Throughout this quarantine, the family and I have been indulging in a variety of series and movies that cater to diverse interests. 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' provides a laugh every time, while 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' captures the charm and humor of Korean films.
Other Korean gems like 'One Spring Night' and 'Crash Landing on You', along with some of our favorite English language TV series such as 'NCIS', 'Chicago PD', and 'FBI', keep us gripped with their compelling plots and relatable characters.

In conclusion, it’s clear that there is no shortage of entertainment during these uncertain times. Whether you prefer dramas, comedies, or thrilling suspense, there's something on this list for everyone.
