The “Corona Dozen” Binge-worthy TV shows

One day…it’s been one day stuck at home and people are already losing their shit.

Come on!!!  We’re Americans!!

We know what we need to do in times of adversity, we sit on the couch and watch TV.  As a proud cord-cutter watching TV equates to Laptop/IPhone/Roku watching but you get the idea.  I’m not going to tell you to watch Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or the Walking Dead. We’ve all seen those or actively chose to be lame and skipped them.  I like my TV like my sex…a little unusual, you can be on the treadmill when it’s happening, and sometimes it’s better when you’re alone.  Here are my Top Oh Crap! Now What? Binge-watch TV show picks to get you possibly drinking a Corona instead of thinking about one.  We’re going to be here for a while so send me your picks and I promise if I watch it and it doesn’t suck you’ll get a true couch potato shout out from yours truly.

Hang in there everybody.

1 Stranger things – Netflix

It’s been called a love letter to the 80s, I call it an orgasm of easter eggs for anyone born in the 70s. It definitely got popular but some people missed it.  Definitely worth a watch.

2 Orphan Black – Amazon Prime

5 seasons, a shit-ton of clones, incredible acting and a pencil to the eye. One of my hubby’s favorites. Go down the rabbit hole as a con-woman realizes she is at the center of a global mystery.

3 Archer – Hulu

Yes, it’s a cartoon, but possibly one of the most inappropriate ones I have ever seen.  Super vulgar, everybody is screwing, and absolutely laugh out loud funny.

4 Buck Rogers/Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman – NBC App

Bell Bottoms, feathered hair and disco music.  Ahhh the Sci-Fi technology of the 70s and the 80s.  If you haven’t heard of any of these shows ask your parents.  It’s definitely worth a shot to at least see what we thought the future was going to look like.  I guarantee you there is not a single Tik-Tok reference in there.

5 Sense8 – Netflix

8 strangers around the world suddenly find themselves mentally connected and hunted by a shadow organization as they come to grips with their new reality.  Extremely adult, highly sexual with a strong representation of LGBTQ characters and action packed. This is definitely one to watch long after the kids have been put to bed.

6 Schitt’s Creek – Netflix

Full disclosure, I have not watched this but everyone and their mother is telling me it’s amazing.  A riches to rags comedy with Eugene Levy…sign me up!

7 I am not OK with this – Netflix

My 15 year old has fallen in love with this show.  A teenager navigates the complexities of high school, family and her sexuality while dealing with new superpowers; based on Charles Forsman’s graphic novel.

8 The Americans – Amazon Prime Video

Not getting your fill of Russian Spies from the news? Take a nostalgic trip back to the Cold War with a Washington DC family in the Reagan era as they navigate life, kids and relationships. And by the way…they’re undercover KGB spies.

9 8 Simple Rules – ABC App

A comedy with John Ritter – nuff said!  We could all use a little more of this in our lives right now.

10 Briarpatch – NBC App

To be fair, this show is still brand new but I was hooked after 1 episode.  A pulp fiction mystery based on the novel of the same name.  Rosario Dawson returns to her border-town home in Texas to find her sister’s killer. The cast is amazing!

11 Altered Carbon – Netflix

Sci-Fi at its best, my husband couldn’t turn it off.  Beautifully shot, lots of action, mysteries and firepower.  300 year in the future death is not the end.  A man dead for hundreds of years is brought back into a new body to solve a mystery.  Looking forward to the second season which was just released.

12 VEEP – Hulu

If you like a little more comedy in your politics, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the VP of a train-wreck administration. Think Madame Secretary (which gets honorable mention on my list) meets Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

13 Tiny house nation – Netflix

I do love them small…houses that is.  Don’t judge me, we all secretly like some reality TV shows and this one is my guilty pick.  A simpler lifestyle, a smaller footprint, and downsizing galore. It’s my future dream, the show is 5 seasons in but if it runs for another 10 maybe I’ll get my own episode.
