Bored of LockDown already? Here is a list of mind-blowing movies/series on Netflix & Amazon Prime to cheer up your Quarantine.
The world has been having a hard time combatting the COVID-19 and the most suggested way to contain the virus is Self Quarantine! I’m are sure most of you are already missing your ‘Monday Blues and Thank God, It’s Fridays’. So, I have compiled a mix of most mind-boggling Netflix and Amazon Prime series and movies. (Honest insight — These are my personal favorite).
Let’s take a look -
The handmaid’s tale (Available on Amazon Prime)
This show is an adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s book the handmaid’s tale. This series is set in Gilead, an ugly, shocking tale of a totalitarian society where women are treated as a state’s property in order to tackle the declining fertility rate in the US. This series will make you think about position women around the world and how they are being treated. This show will surely give you a lump in your throat. During quarantine, this might be a good option to watch as it will mess with your mind while warming your heart.
The Kominsky Method (Available on Netflix)
If you are ready to watch a clever and humorous scenario for a change from other boring series, this is the show you need. Brilliant Comedic performances by Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin. Both actors convey their dialogue perfectly in sometimes subtle, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes flat out in your face ways.
This is a story of two old men who’ve completed 50 years of friendship together, they both deal with their own separate kinds of issues but often lean on each other for advice. If you haven’t watched this show, do so. Switch on your Netflix right now to witness these two actors in action.
Marriage Story (Available on Netflix)
This Oscar-nominated movie is a 2019 movie from Netflix starring Scarlett Johanssen and Adam Driver and Written/directed by Noah Baumbach, the master at capturing dialogues realistically and naturally. This story takes us to a dark place of an Unhappy married couple sharing their lives with each other. This is one of the most truthful and real movies of a marriage.
The movie shows us the struggle, pain and how the couples put themselves to their extremes when they go through a divorce with a little touch of comedy. One should definitely watch this movie during this lockdown and appreciate the brilliant acting done by Scarlett Johanssen and Adam Driver.
Rick and Morty(Available on Netflix)
This show is not only absolutely hilarious but also has a philosophical discussion regarding the social-political climate using scientific theories. This show is an addiction with just a 22-minute run-time and a total of 36 episodes so far this show is always a must-go for a binge-watch day. It’s a great show to binge-watch during the holidays.
Village Rockstars (Available on Netflix)
A 1h 27min film on Netflix by Rima Das, An Assamese lady one-in-all guerrilla film director, producer, editor, screenwriter, cinematographer, production. This film is absolutely natural and beautiful. This film depicts the story of a young girl and her mother from a small village in Assam. This film shows us a positive approach to life. The film might be difficult for few to understand the language but if you are ready to watch something beautiful, this is it. I appreciate the beauty of nature while staying home.
The office (available on Amazon Prime)
Nearly half of the population is working from home, so why not watch a show about office experience? The office is the perfect show to watch if you are bored with staying home. A comedy show around workers working in a paper sales business called, Dunder Mifflin. It is a fictional documentary series. The creators worked hard on making the characters of the show seem realistic.. The office has quirky humor and very endearing, memorable characters. One should definitely watch the office for a good laugh. Feel the environment of your office at home while binge-watching the web series ‘The Office’.
The Haunting of Hill House:
If you are ready to watch something horror but with a proper storyline, this is the show for you. This show won’t give you a jump or cheap scare but it will surely scare you. The story is simply based on a haunting house and a family. This show has raised the bar & expectations for any horror movie or series that has to offer now. Wear your pajamas, bring your popcorn and ask your family to watch this horror series because you can’t watch it alone.
Fleabag (Available on Amazon Prime)
Brilliantly written by PHOEBE WALLER BRIDGE, the best TV writer of our generation. This show is a breath of fresh air to all of you staying home. Fleabag is an absolutely perfect series, I dare you to find a flaw. This is a show about phoebe who is loud, Unashamed and embarrassing and the best part of this show is, it lets you in on the protagonist’s thoughts and backstories. Enjoy the loungewear while you can.
Stay home-stay safe and watch fleabag.
