With most of my schoolwork out of the way for the year, I’ve had a lot more free time. In that free time, I’ve watched a lot of Netflix, since we don’t get any English TV channels here. So, I decided to share some TV shows and movies that have saved me from dying of boredom lately.
Once Upon A Time
Currently my favorite TV show, Once Upon a Time is a complicated drama with a bit of humor and lots of twists and turns. Put simply, it’s a show about all of the classic storybook characters. The Evil Queen casts a curse over the Enchanted Forest, sending all of the characters into our world, specifically a hidden town in Maine called Storybrooke. None of the characters remember who they are, and Snow White and Prince Charming’s daughter, Emma, is destined to save them all. HIGHLY recommend.
Kim’s Convenience
If you like comedy, this one’s for you! Kim’s Convenience follows a hilarious Korean family that owns a convenience store. Every episode is different and exciting, and the Kim family is full of personality. My friend Vanessa and I watch this show together whenever she comes over and we laugh the whole time!
The Perfect Date
Mom and I watch a lot of romantic comedies, and this is one of my favorites. The Perfect Date begins when Brooks, a teenager who dreams of driving fancy cars and going to Yale, creates an app offering to go on fake dates. I love all the Netflix movies I’ve seen with Noah Centineo in them so far, and this one’s no different. Plus, Laura Murano plays a girl with my name!😂
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
I watched this movie a while ago and really enjoyed it. Based on the best-selling novel, a young London journalist travels to the island of Guernsey in search of a good story about a book club that kept a group of friends together during World War II. She ends up finding more than what she planned to…
One Day at a Time
I’ll have to warn you, this one ended very suddenly, so there is no proper conclusion, however it’s definitely worth it. This one is based on the series of the same name that aired in the 70s and 80s. It follows a hispanic family’s struggles and successes. While it is a comedy, the show also focuses on the mother’s struggles with PTSD and depression after being in the military and the daughter’s issues with her father after coming out as gay. All of the characters are full of emotion and humor, especially the charismatic and stubborn grandmother, Lydia.
Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt
Kimmy Shmidt is a young “mole woman” who was found after years of being in an underground bunker, which she was sent to by her doomsday cult with a group of other women. After her rescue, Kimmy decides to stay in New York while the rest of the mole women return to their hometown. Kimmy gets a job working for a rich housewife and must readjust to life above ground, with the help of her roommate.
Hope you enjoy and have a great Sunday! And…
