• show recommendations because we're all trapped lol •

don't worry, i'm not going to bang on about what is currently going on in the world, just briefly mention it

hey kids

so, things are a bit rough right now in the world and we are living in unprecedented times

this means that we have a lot! of! time! on our hands now that most of us are at home, so i thought i'd recommend a bunch of shows in case any of you lot are already dying of boredom lol

this will hopefully cover a lot of platforms (not just netflix lol) and genres but there is a chance i won't mention anything that sounds good or that you have access to so i apologise lol

also i'm v bad at describing things so this could go south quite quickly OH WELL

ive pushed a lot of these before but this is the big boi list SO

1 | brooklyn 99 - netflix

SEASON SIX WAS ADDED TO NETFLIX UK THIS MORNING I AM VERY EXCITED

this show is a comedy set in the 99th precinct (duh) of the nypd. it has a bunch of cool characters, short episodes making it easier to binge and very hooking running threads. also there is lots of it! and more being made so DO IT

also it actually does focus a lot of the details of cases which i really like it is a very nice mix good good

2 | riverdale - netflix

LISTEN

L I S T E N 

i know it's trash

IT REALLY IS BUT the first seasons was much better AND more self aware. it has definitely gone downhill (the 3rd season was,,,, good lord) but i really quite like the current season and adore jughead and betty as characters. plus trash teen drama murder mystery is good for the soul and i stand by that

but fuck archie andrews

3 | the umbrella academy - netflix

the second season of this is still being produced and will hopefully still be out later this year!! so it is a very good time to watch it

this show is based on comics written by gerard way about 7 kids all born on the same day who have superpowers, and are adopted by a billionaire asshole

the dad dies, bringing back the squad for a nice family reunion! but shit goes down because the apocalypse is coming YAY

not gonna lie, i found the first episode or so of this a bit slow and hard to get into, but after that it only went uphill and it is really good if youre into action and character development woooo

4 | victorious - netflix

i'm not even going to defend myself on this one yes it is a kids show no i don't care because it is GOOD

if you haven't heard of it, victorious is set in a highschool for le arts and follows a group of TEENS as they have DILEMAS and GO TO CLASS and D A T E 

i don't really know what else to say about it it's funny without anything particularly deep going on cause yaknow

it's for kids

5 | sex education - netflix

talk about a u-turn lol

as an asexual i would like to say that despite having MANY MANY sex scenes there actually not that sexy? they don't have that vibe, a lot of them are quite funny actually lol

also i love the characters! and the plot! it is quite intense! eric is a fucking legend

for those who don't know, sex education is about a kid named otis whose mum is a sex therapist, and he gives out sex advice at his college even though he has literally no experience
