Tina's Netflix Survival Kit

As Gar-Bear would say, it's time to hunker down.

Winter is coming & there's only one thing we can do - get under the covers and never leave our beds again.

Series:

1. Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is new to Netflix & is just 4 episodes. If you're obsessed with murder & serial killers like the rest of us, this is for you!

2. Bodyguard

A British mini-series staring Richard Madden, a.k.a. Rob Stark, a.k.a my future husband. 6 episodes guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

3. The Assassination of Gianni Versace

This is brand new to Netflix. Darren Criss, who plays killer Andrew Cunanan, just swept every major award for his role. This is what I'll be binging!

4. The Great British Baking Show (a.k.a. British Bakeoff)

THIS IS MY FAVORITE! There is beautiful baked goods, humor, friendships, a tent, British people, rain, Paul Hollywood and the dreaded technical bake! What more could you need to keep you entertained!? 6 seasons.

5. The Good Place

Binge seasons 1 & 2 on Netflix and then get caught up on the current season! Don't sleep on this show!! The Good Place is one of the best shows on television right now!

6. You

If you haven't already watched the first season, you're behind the times. This CRAZY PANTS show will rock your world in just 10 episodes!

7.  Stranger Things

I think I've re-watched both season 1 & 2 about 5 times. Prep for season 3, coming this summer, by reliving the mayhem in Hawkins, Indiana!

8. Schitt's Creek

Do you like THICK satire, Eugene Levy & Catherine O'Hara?? (If you don't, we can't be friends) Than this show is for you!! 4 seasons

9. New Girl

Worth the re-binge. I think I might be the female version of Nick...

10. The Office (British version)

Because you've probably never actually sat down and watched it & it's hilarious. 2 seasons.


Movies:

1. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

I think this is technically filed under "television", but it's a movie and it will mess. you. UP. Plus it's hours of entertainment! Watch with friends for more fun.

2. FYRE documentary

This is on my binge list, so forgive me if you've already seen it and it sucks. 

3. Roma

Another film on my watch list! Roma is nominated for 10 Academy Awards.

4. Icarus

Do you like documentaries?? I do. Oscar winning Icarus exposes the Russian doping scandal... accidentally. You've got to see it to believe it!

5. To All The Boys I've Loved Before.

Noah Centineo. That is all.

6. Stardust

Cheesy romantic movie, but chances are you probably haven't seen it & if you're anything like me, you've probably been on the hunt for something new & I this is always a go-to for me.

7. Okja

You might have watched this when it dropped a few years ago, but if you haven't, it's worth the watch. It's hella weird, but has a really great message. 

8. It Takes Two

A Mary-Kate and Ashley CLASSIC & one of the only movies of theirs that we have access to. A staple of my childhood that has always made me extremely jealous I was never in a food fight.

9. The Truman Show

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES. It is important to me that you watch this movie. I have met FAR too many people that when asked, "You've seen The Truman Show, right?" they said "No." This hurts me. Please watch this movie. 

10. Somm

My all time favorite documentary! It follows four sommeliers who are studying for the Master Sommelier exam. You like wine? You think you know a little bit about wine? Wrong. Prepare for your mind to be BLOWN! Plus there is a squeal (see below).
