Some of us go home, meet up with our families and spend the whole day with them for Diwali. But some of us like to spend the holidays under a blanket with the air conditioning on while binge-watching a whole season of their new favourite show. To each his own.
We’re here to help the stay-at-home celebrators with a great list of Netflix shows that will help you get through the holidays. Keep your bag of chips and coke ready by the time you’re done with this list.
Living With Yourself
Paul Rudd stars in this brand-new Netflix show. Rudd plays Miles, who undergoes a bizarre procedure at a spa and wakes up in the morning to find out he’s been replaced by a much better version of himself. What follows is a hilarious ride with great comic timing and subtle life lessons.
Broadchurch
Broadchurch deals with a much more heavy subject, but is a perfect choice if you were looking to completely engross yourself into a show. A child goes missing in the small, quiet town of Broadchurch, the pressure on the police department is mounting, but little dirty secrets prove that this town isn’t as simple as it seems.
Patriot Act
Lightening the mood up, Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act is comedy gold. The political comedy show will undoubtedly make you laugh, but most importantly, it’s going to make you think. Minhaj casually discusses important topics such as student loans, Narendra Modi, Donald Trump and a lot more with ease and humour without diluting facts.
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
David Chang is back and this time, he’s bringing a lot more food to the plate. A limited series, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner sees a Chang embarking on new food adventures with various celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Seth Rogen to cities around the world.
Peaky Blinders
Gritty, dramatic and action-packed, Peaky Blinders is a show you wouldn’t want to miss. It has five whole seasons so you can feel free to never stop and dedicate yourself completely to this story and its characters.
My Next Guest with David Letterman and Shah Rukh Khan
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction is legendary talk show host David Letterman’s rebirth and comeback to television screens. He’s hosted celebrities from all over the world, but his new episode features his first Bollywood star on his Netflix show. The episode gives Letterman a taste of King Khan’s massive fanbase, his lifestyle and his work while also introducing himself to SRK’s wit and charm.
