Have seen or will try these. Thank youuu. You and your husband will LOVE The Night Manager (mini/limited series) starring Tom Hiddleston, Tobias Menzies, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Coleman. It was nominated: 2016 Emmy, Bafta and Golden Globe. Look it up on Wiki. It was on AMC. SO GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!
Thanks will give some of these a go whilst having to self isolate on my maternity leave due to me having asthma and mainly worrying about my 8 week old baby girl. Add The Stranger to your list if you havent seen that. Really good! Stay safe guys x
The Stranger and Locke and Key are a must watch. Also Apple TV + got some really good ones. The Morning Show with Jen Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell. See with Jason Mamoa and The Servant are my top 3.
The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez.. hard to watch but a must watch for everyone .. so that you always report something that is wrong .. Always .. I have 2 times reported animal abuse and got cussed out . and I called DHR for watching a women spank her little baby very harshly for just crying … Yes I did !!!

The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez was heartbreaking to watch. I just couldn’t wrap my head around a woman hating her child so much that she would do those things to him or allow someone else. :(
This is fabulous Kristy, thank you so much for the suggestions! My husband and I are always scrolling through and never can find anything! We ask our kids all the time! But this is wonderful…???♥️
I’ve been enjoying some of the foreign series on Netflix. I just finished Valhalla. It’s from Iceland, murder crime type series, really good.
The Forest, it’s another murder mystery from France. Also really good.
For a series, I loved Peaky Blinders, very well done.
Check out Schitt’s Creek if you are looking for something on the lighter side. There are 5 seasons streaming on Netflix. Sometimes we all need a little funny in our lives at times like this especially. Stay safe and healthy!?
I love watching all the food shows! Currently binging Somebody Feed Phil – which is a good show and travel show! He is the creator of Everyone Loves Raymond. And he is funny.
Others are:
The Chef Show
Zumbo’s Just Dessert-competition show in Australia
Ugly Delicious
Chef’s Table
I also just finished Schitt’s Creek and loved it!
My husband and I are totally enjoying watching Schitt’$ Creek. We’re almost finished with the final season (5) and so sad to have it be over. Great writing that’s both funny and smart, and not to mention amazing actors. Let me know what you think, if you decide to give it a try ??
Yes! Can’t believe Homeland isn’t on your list, Kristy! It’s our very favorite and keeps us up way too long saying…ok, just one more.
Also, The Trials of Gabriel Hernandez needs to be seen. A very important, although upsetting, story.
I loved watching “The Fall”. I’m not sure where you’ll find it in the US, I’m in Australia.
Also, a new series just started here on our ABC called “The Capture”. It’s shaping up to be a good one too.
Henry (my ragdoll) and I are enjoying spending a lot of time at home together. We aren’t “shut down”, but are asked to stay home as much as possible. Who knows what’s going to happen next. It seems to be changing every day.
Have you watched The Keepers? It’s a true murder documentary that won many awards and rated one of the highest produced anywhere. 97% or 9.1/10. The murder victim was a young beautiful nun and teacher Kathy Cesnik. So many amazing things about this true crime. Her female hs students are the ones investigating her murder close to 40+ years later after it went cold case for the police. It doesn’t focus heavily on religion if that would turn you off but it does on the mystery of her being missing, found, where, how and why. Hence the high rating of the documentary. Exceptionally good and still today unsolved to a point ..
Thanks for these suggestions?
Currently finishing up OFFSPRING…
Started off slow but on advice stuck with it. Didn’t take long till I was hooked…some nights up till 3:00..didn’t want to stop.
Australian….the fashions the two main characters wear are fab?
Just saw press about Self Made on Netflix with Octavia Spencer which looks really good. Also heard about Inside Bill’s Brain on Netflix, about Bill Gates. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
“The Tourist“ On Netflex with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp!
Very good movie! Romantic mystery- Angelina Jolie is very elegant and her clothes are so pretty in the movie!
Stay safe all! ❤️
Just binge watched “Tiger King” about a man who owned massive amounts of live tigers & It was crazy! If I hadn’t of known or watched real life footage of this guys personality & all the things he did & stuff that happened to all the people he was dealing with, I wouldn’t of believed it. A Hollywood writer couldn’t have written all the crazy things that happened in this documentary.
LOVE all those shows and movies just 3 shows that I absolutely adore but you don’t have there are Friends, The Vampire Diaries and Riverdale. Thank you and no need to reply.
We have similar tastes… So you will love Grace and Frankie, Schitt’s Creek, and The Stranger (also by Harlan Coben which I enjoyed even more than Safe).
Wasn’t that Wild Wild Country crazy? We used to live out in that area. Jon Bowerman went to our church, (Son of Bill Bowerman of Nike) nice guy, had a belt buckle that said “Jesus is my saddle partner” he rode & trained horses with his young wife. There’s allot of unusual happenings out there in that part of Oregon. Even had a cowboy shot off his horse, on the Six Shooter Ranch, (I think it was the six shooter) still unsolved to this day, Someone wrote a really good book about It. I’ll see if I can find the name & send it to you, it was an amazing read! It was kind of like the Wild West out there, but the scenery is gorgeous. Thank you for this great list!!!
Thank you for suggesting 7 Seconds. My son is one of the writers on that show. His episode is Episode 9. The fabulous Regina King is in it and it is a wonderful depiction of race in America.
The first season of Sweet Magnolias was really good! It reminds me of a cross between Gilmore Girls and Steel Magnolias. I thought it was really good and I hope they come out with season 2.
You’ve got to watch Bloodline (on Netflix).. One of the stars is Linda Cardellini from Dead to Me! I didn’t see it on your list, SOO Good!! Thanks for posting your list,..OHH
& Hart of Dixie (chick flick but also SOO Good)!! XO B.
Thanks for the ideas?
Another good show is, “Imposters”. It’s a drama/comedy about a female imposter, the trail that she leaves behind, and those seeking closure.
A good Movie on Netflix is, The Night Clerk.
It’s about a special needs clerk at a hotel, who is accused of murder.
A great series the we just discovered, but has been around for many years is, Homeland.
Fantastic show!! We were hooked at the first episode.
:) Does anyone REALLY get overwhelmed opening up Netflix:)
Everyday life is overwhelming, especially for so many people these days.
Please don’t give Netflix credit/blame for people having to make difficult decisions on the daily.
Love your blog!

We loved Bloodline with Sissy Spacek. Grace and Frankie Love your list! Thank you! Stay well!!
Bloodline is my all time favorite! Wish there was another season.
Thank you so much for these recommendations. I highly recommend Shitts Creek and Jane the Virgin
Velvet: about a fashion house in Spain in the 1950’s
Money Heist is addicting, The Invisible Guest is a great thriller, Dirty Money & Rotten are great documentaries. Happy Binging ?
Schitts Creek
Palm Trees in the Snow (movie)
Formula 1: Drive to Survive
Season 1 & 2
As I mentioned before, Christian Horner – the Principal of Red Bull Racing looks like your Jeff!?
The Ranch, it is a series that has Ashton Kutcher in it. It can be light hearted and serious.
The Stranger, UK series which you can binge watch. A woman tells people things only they would know. Highly recommend.
Thank you, for this fabulous guide!
Thanks will give some of these a go whilst having to self isolate on my maternity leave due to me having asthma and mainly worrying about my 8 week old baby girl. Add The Stranger to your list if you havent seen that. Really good! Stay safe guys x
Just started “YOU” …. totally hooked!!!!
The stranger on Netflix
The Stranger and Locke and Key are a must watch. Also Apple TV + got some really good ones. The Morning Show with Jen Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell. See with Jason Mamoa and The Servant are my top 3.
Happy Binge Watching and stay safe and healthy!

The Kominsky Method
Check out Schitt’s Creek if you are looking for something on the lighter side. There are 5 seasons streaming on Netflix. Sometimes we all need a little funny in our lives at times like this especially. Stay safe and healthy!?
Netflex – The Kominisky Method (series) with Michael Douglas and Alan Akrin is awesome.
Amazon Prime Video – Goliath (series) with Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt is OUTSTANDING!
Have you seen the documentary Q Ball on Netflix? It’s amazing!!
I love watching all the food shows! Currently binging Somebody Feed Phil – which is a good show and travel show! He is the creator of Everyone Loves Raymond. And he is funny.

Season 6, the finale season, of Schitts Creek can be seen on the network Pop. I just streamed it :)
Schitts Creek
Wealthy family falls on hard times. Mindless funniness (is that a word?) ?
Kristy, Jeff & Maggie,
Thank you sweetheart for sharing your wonderful list of go to movies. Actually thank you for keeping us afloat with laughter. Stay healthy and safe.
Deb ( nanaalwaysandforever)
Homeland. The best US series we’ve seen in a long time. It was originally on Showtime and now it’s on Netflix.
Yes! Can’t believe Homeland isn’t on your list, Kristy! It’s our very favorite and keeps us up way too long saying…ok, just one more.

You should watch
Unorthodoxed
Self made
Velvet (series)
Just finished The Last Kingdom on Netflix, so so good
The Night Manager – (might actually be on Prime)
Call My Agent! – Set in Paris. It’s in French with English subtitles, so not a show to watch when you are sleepy. We LOVE this show!!!
Schitt’s Creek
The Great British Baking Show – I’m sad we’re already on the last season. I’m addicted to this show!!!
Master of None – if you like The Office and Parks and Rec, you’ll find this funny.
Greenleaf (series)
Greater
Containment (series)
Thanks so much Jeff and Kristy for these awesome lists!.. I realise how much time and research went into making these up! Xxx
Money Heist was awesome and full of action! Tiger King is a train wreck of a show but makes you really appreciate the life you have.
Just started Hell on Wheels last night! A friend told us to watch it. Takes place in 1865 just after the Civil War. We watched 4 shows in one night!
Michelle Obama’s Becoming. So uplifting.
Unorthodox is a very good series as well. There are only 4 shows. Hope they have a season 2!

Hart of Dixie
Billions
Succession
Yellowstone
on my block, all american, riverdale, jane the virgin, lucifer, locke and key, atypical, anne with an e are just a few of my favorites!
Longmire is a great series to watch with the husband. We both really enjoyed it; so much, we now attend Longmire Days in Wyoming.
I love that show too! So good.. One of our friends lives in Wyoming. It’s so incredibly beautiful there. :)
Check out….What if? On Netflix
Thank you for suggesting 7 Seconds. My son is one of the writers on that show. His episode is Episode 9. The fabulous Regina King is in it and it is a wonderful depiction of race in America.
Netflix “Alone” phenomenal survival show.
Thank you sweetheart for your list.

You Must watch Fauda and Unorthodox, which is the most watched series of the quarantine!
The first season of Sweet Magnolias was really good! It reminds me of a cross between Gilmore Girls and Steel Magnolias. I thought it was really good and I hope they come out with season 2.

All American
