Hi guys! I had a couple of weeks where I watched a lot of TV shows. This has tapered off since school has returned, but I thought I'd write about a few shows you can binge in a day. Some people like finding shows that have a lot of seasons... I'm the opposite. I really like getting an entire show watched quickly, then that's it, it's done. Sayonara! Let's have a look at some of these shows!
MAN VS BEE
Where to watch: Netflix
Length: 9 episodes (10 mins approx each) = 1.5 hours total
This absolutely ridiculous but quite funny series stars Rowan Atkinson, of Mr Bean and Blackadder fame, as a dim-witted man, who becomes obsessed with a bee. This is a show where you just have to go along for the ride and try not to think too hard, or at all, because honestly, the stupidity of the main character will drive you nuts lol. This is the perfect show to watch with your kids. Each episode is super short and engaging, and there's plenty of laughs to be had.
I AM GROOT
Where to watch: Disney+
Length: 5 episodes (5 mins each) = 15 mins total
Totalling only 15 minutes, you can't ask for an easier show to binge! These episodes, based on the Groot character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, are an exceptionally easy watch, and again, kids would love them. Marvel fans would also enjoy these shorts, obviously! And even though Groot is only capable of uttering the words "I am Groot", the writers did manage to put a bit of dialogue in some of these, thank God.
THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GIRL IN THE WINDOW
{NO SPOILERS}
Where to watch: Netflix
Length: 8 episodes (22-29 mins each) = just under 4 hours
This dark comedy/murder mystery is a parody (the wordy title might give it away) that was panned by critics, but I kind of enjoyed it. If you're a fan of lead actress Kristen Bell, murder mysteries, or red wine, you'll have fun. Anna drinks a lot of red wine in this, and fair enough really, as she's mourning the horrific death of her young daughter, then she has a murderer to contend with. I liked this right up until the end, where it went batshit crazy. But no spoilers, so you'll just have to watch to see what I mean.
BAD VEGAN: FAME, FRAUD, FUGITIVES
Where to watch: Netflix
Length: 4 episodes (44-61 mins each) = 4 hours approx total
Bad Vegan is a documentary based on the life of vegan restaurateur Sarma Melngailis, and what happens when she marries a mysterious and charming man who claims he can make her beloved dog immortal. This is fascinating, and strange and beyond comprehension, but nonetheless quite an entertaining watch. If you enjoyed 'The Tinder Swindler' or 'Inventing Anna' you're sure to love this.
THE PREMISE
Where to watch: Binge
Length: 5 episodes (30 mins approx each) = 2.5 hours total
The Premise is an anthology series created by BJ Novak (Ryan from the US version of The Office). It explores timeless moral questions and topics such as gun control, social justice, identity, love, fame and revenge. I loved this! Each episode is a completely different story, with different actors (ie, an anthology), and even though the themes are sometimes serious, such as the moving 'Moment of Silence', there are also light-hearted episodes that are wacky and funny, like 'Butt Plug' and 'Social Justice Sex Tape'. There are only five episodes, making this the perfect show to binge in a day.
We loved "THE WOMAN IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GIRL IN THE WINDOW" and agree there is both a lot of wine and a lot of weird craziness. It is not listed as a comedy but there are some really funny bit, and character quirks. Kirsten Bell does this really well and in a similar manner to "The Good Place" which we also really enjoyed
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. it definitely was funny in parts. And The Good Place was amazing, watched it with my family and everyone loved it!
