We have never been so acquainted with Netflix as we have been for the past few days. Not sure where you are in the world right now but the Dutch government has asked people to play stay at home unless it’s absolutely necessary to leave, which means we need ways to entertain ourselves while we follow the rules. While there are definitely bigger problems in the world right now than what series to watch, I wanted to keep things light and decided to share with you my favourite series to watch during the Covid-19 social distancing. I have watched everything under the sun and while I have a lot of favourites, I wanted to narrow it down to 16 series I would (and probably have) watch more than once.

There is quite an overwhelming selection of series out there these days and I have quite high standards when it comes to my binge watching. This is why I made a huge list of everything I have watched & loved and narrowed down to the series above.

I am a HUGE fan of thrillers, mysteries, dramas, etc -as you can see-, so most of my suggestions are leaning towards those genres. However, I also added a couple of light and happy series because who doesn’t feel better the moment Friends goes on TV? And Grace & Frankie cracks me up every time.

If you have any series suggestions, please do share them on the comments below!

Stay safe and sending you lots of love.

  2. Love these suggestions!! And in-line with the suspenseful genre, (as I also thoroughly enjoy), I would highly recommend the first season of True Detective,The Killing, Sleeper Cell (this is older but AWESOME), and although not in the suspenseful genre, I loved loved loved Band of Brothers!
    Happy quarantine ;)

    1. For some reason I don’t like Elite. I watched the first season but the second bored me so much :(

  3. Bates Motel and Game of thrones, my favorites :)
    Nowadays I am watching eg. the italian series: Baby (2018, based on true event in Rome´s quarter), Medici (about the rulers Florence in 15th century) + Gomorra (mafia of Napoli, Roberto Saviano), or I like Skam (youth problems, Norway) and the criminal story of Weimar Republic – Babylon Berlin (I’m so absorbed in that “noir” atmosphere!)
