12 Binge Worthy Netflix Shows

So a lot of us are spending a lot of time at home right now. COVID-19 has got us locked up safely in our homes. So why not dedicate some of this time to finally getting round to those TV box-sets on Netflix you’ve said you’ve always wanted to watch.

Here’s 12 Netflix binge worthy shows to get you through quarantine.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad is arguably one of the best TV shows of all time – so why not put it in the number one position. A terminally ill chemistry teacher (Bryan Crasnton) makes an unlikely friendship with a former student (Aaron Paul) to make crystal meth in order to secure his family’s future. The series has since been followed up with the spin-off show, Better Call Saul, starring Bob Odenkirk which has received similar praise to the main show. If you want even more Breaking Bad action, show-runner Vince Gilligan blessed us with a follow-up movie called El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. More Breaking Bad than you could shake a stick at.

The Witcher

Got a Game Of Thrones shaped hole in your life? Well what if I told you there’s another show full of dragons, magic and mindless violence? The show follows Geralt (Henry Cavil), a witcher who struggles to find his place in a world in which people often prove more wicked than beasts. The show showcases amazing dialogue, phenomenal acting, and the best use of onscreen magic that I’ve ever seen.
