Top 8 Movies and TV series binge using Netflix Party
Self-isolation may be socially daunting but, lucky for us, Netflix has thought of a solution! As of March 2020, Netflix has introduced a party feature. This new addition has made it possible to watch a show with as many friends as you’d like while staying in-sync and live chatting in the sidebar. Netflix Party has revolutionised how we will be spending this isolation.

If you’re struggling to think of a show or movie to watch as a group, fear not! Here are our top 8 recommendations to binge-watch:
- The Good Place
If you like offbeat comedy and something that will keep you guessing then this is the show for you. The Good Place follows Eleanor (Kristen Bell) as she discovers she is now in the afterlife in a specialised place that can only be described as a paradise called The Good Place. It soon becomes clear that Eleanor is somewhat of a misfit, and in order to stay, Eleanor must suppress her past tendencies and try to act as though she belongs.

Where they lead, we will follow. This feel-good TV series is also one of the most wholesome! If you want to fall in love with the relationship of a mother and daughter who live in a quintessential small town, then look no further. The heart-felt content and realistic ways of coping through life challenges are led by Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) and Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) who take you on the journey with them.

- Sex Education
Navigating the world of high school is an entirely mortifying experience, so take comfort in the fact that you aren’t alone. Sex Education is a brilliant and entertaining dive into the struggle of being a young person grappling with family, friends and their sexuality. The series has us follow the life of Otis and Maeve as they strive to create a healthy environment for their peers to talk about their issues. The series is a hilarious way to approach the complexities of growing up.

- Shrek
For all of you Shrek fans out there, I’ve got some bad news. Somebody once told me that Shrek is leaving Netflix on April 11, so, you’ll want to watch it while you still can. If you don’t want to get left looking kind of dumb with an L on your forehead you might want to soak up all the time we’ve got left with the classic film. So much to do, so much to see, you’d better get a move on!

Look at moi, look at moi. Kath and Kim is calling for your attention.

Get yourself some ‘little baby cheeses’ to snack on and settle in to watch a quality TV series on Netflix Party with your friends now.
