Shows to Binge During a Pandemic

   During the pandemic, there are limitations to what people can do to occupy their time. The only people we can be around are relatives. There are options like board games, video games and most importantly, television. 

Many new shows have come out over the past ten months, but sometimes it’s good to return to hidden gems.

   “I would definitely recommend F is for Family, written by my favorite comedian, Bill Burr. It’s absolutely hilarious and you don’t have to look into it too much, but you can still understand what’s happening,” senior Ethan Weller said.

  According to IMDB,  F is for Family is a show about the Murphy family in the 1970’s when kids roamed wild, beer flowed freely and nothing came between a man and his TV.

The show is currently streaming on Netflix and is rated TV-MA for nudity and strong language.

   “Grey’s Anatomy is a good show to binge watch because it can be heart warming and has a lot of drama. It can make you emotional and has surprises.” junior Jocie Calhoun said.
