Netflix and chill is no more a phrase, it’s a lifestyle. Many will agree that they cancel their weekend outdoor plans just to catch up on their favourite series.
Couples today fight more over betraying each other’s Netflix needs than anything else. If you’re new to this lifestyle, we can help you pick the right shows to catch on the digital medium.
Here’s looking at shows you can enjoy watching with your bae:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Quite literally the best cop show currently, Brooklyn Nine Nine is a great mix of comedy, romance, friendship and more.
Starring the likes of Andy Samberg, Melissa Fumero, Andre Braugher and Stephanie Beatriz. The show has completed five seasons till now while the wait for the sixth continues, this is the best time for you and your bae to sit back and catch up on this funny series. Nothing better than sharing a few laughs with your loved one.
Queer Eye
Currently one of the most popular shows on Netflix, Queer Eye is a unique show where the Fab 5 – five gay men give advise on food, styling, interiors and more as they help men improve the different elements of their lives.
From helping the introverts to socialize and gays in coming out to their family and friends, the fab five are doing some great community service.
The stories are emotional yet fun and could make up for a fun watch with your bae as you discuss things that affect your lives on the side.
After a successful first season, the boys are back with the second.
13 Reasons Why
Some high school drama is always a good option. Although 13 Reasons Why is no regular series revolving around high schools in America. With a wider narrative that throws light on mental health issues, suicides and America’s gun problem, there’s more to read between the lines.
One of the key selling points of this series is the way it builds up its story. After a 17-year-old girl named Hannah Baker commits suicide, she leaves behind audio tapes of 13 reasons that led her to kill herself. As people around her listen to them, they have their own versions of Hannah’s stories.
Watching it with your bae could open up some interesting discussions. The romantic bits in the series and especially the lovely music will surely make you have some of your special moments too.
Rick & Morty
If you and your significant other are into animated series, you probably already know Rick and Morty.
This one’s a pick for those couples who are into science fiction. The series follows the misadventures of alcoholic scientist Rick and his grandson Morty.
With three seasons already available on Netflix, this should be your next pick for binge watching.
BoJack Horseman
BoJack Horseman is a cleverly written black comedy that traces the story of a humanoid horse who was once a Hollywood star but is now drowned in alcohol and self-loathing in his LA home.
The content is perfectly suitable for adults as sex and drugs are regular references. If you’re the couple who likes comedy but with a dash of wit in it, this show is your pick.
If all else fails, you can always go back to your good old sitcoms such as Friends, How I Met Your Mother and Fresh Prince of Bel Air for some nostalgia.
Pick your weekend binge now!
