This pandemic has really helped me catch up on my Netflix queue. Who knew that all it required was eliminating my social life?

I figured I’d share the series I’ve binged over the last eight months – maybe you’ll find something new to watch! I’ve sorted them by network, but those with an asterisk I actually got on DVD from the library.

• Jack Ryan (Season 2)*
• Upload (Season 1) – recommended by a friend in book club
• Hanna (Season 1-2)
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maizel (Seasons 1-2)

Apple TV

• Defending Jacob
• Dickinson (Season 1) – I actually liked this more than the movie “Wild Nights with Emily” that had a similar concept/tone

HBOmax

• Westworld (Season 3) – fun fact: I watched this and a few months later I had forgotten I had watched it
• Raised by Wolves (Season 1)
• I Know This Much Is True

• Light as a Feather (Season 1)
• Killing Eve (Season 3)*

Netflix

• Anne with an E (Seasons 2-3) – I was watching this one when the pandemic hit and quickly finished it off…
• Tiger King
• I Am Not Okay With This (Season 1)
• Queer Eye: We’re In Japan!
• Alias Grace
• Schitt’s Creek (Seasons 1-5, and later Season 6) – recommended by a friend in my book club
• Ozark (Seasons 1 & part of 2) – heard a lot of good things about this one, but it started to get too dark for me
• Don’t F**k with Cats – Netflix recommended this after Tiger King. FYI this includes video footage of animals being killed. But I couldn’t stop watching until the killer had been found
• Arrested Development (Seasons 1 – 5) – I had already seen this series, but needed a palate cleanser after Don’t F**k with Cats. I also hadn’t seen season 5.
• Queer Eye (Season 5)
• Dead to Me (Season 2)
• Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich
• Community (Seasons 1-6) – I had also already seen a lot of this series, but hadn’t seen the later seasons. I just needed something quick and funny and familiar to watch.
• The Baby-Sitters Club (Season 1)
• Unsolved Mysteries (Volume 1 & later, 2)
• Outer Banks (Season 1) – recommended by my 13-year-old niece
• The Witcher (Season 1) – another rewatch
• The Umbrella Academy (Season 2)
• Hannibal (Seasons 1-3)
• Riverdale (Season 4)
• Orange Is the New Black (Season 7)
• The Frankenstein Chronicles (Seasons 1-2) – I had a streak of starting new series and not being interested, and this one hooked me. Reminded me a bit of Penny Dreadful
• Grace & Frankie (Seasons 1-6) – I watched this one a bit sporadically, when I needed a quick episode
• Down to Earth with Zac Efron (Season 1) – recommended by a coworker
• The Haunting of Bly Manor
• Unbelievable
• The Crown (Season 4)
• Cobra Kai (Seasons 1-2)
• The Good Place (Season 4)*

DVDs from the library

• Titans (Seasons 1-2)
• Brooklyn Nine-nine (Season 7)
• Cursed Films (Season 1)
• Eli Roth’s History of Horror (Season 1)

Well, that is a much larger list than I thought… and this doesn’t include all the standalone movies I’ve watched, nor the series I started and didn’t like. What series have you binged that you’d recommend?
