Winter has hit us, and wouldn’t you rather stay in and Binge Watch everything you can this weekend whilst eating everything you can find from a takeaway? Well, November is possibly looking like the best time for that, with new shows emerging left, right and centre. What with the Presidential Election results, we could all use some cheering up this weekend…here are a few things you can Binge Watch to ease the pain.
Black Mirror
With appropriate topics that mesh eerily with reality (David Cameron Piggate and the 2016 Election are just two), Black Mirror has truly become the TV show of our time. Ruthlessly digging into our addiction with technology, it shows a slight dystopian if possibly true near future that we could be living in. Black Mirror is great for something if you want to be reeled in and second guessed at every turn. It’s definitely one you should get to watching soon and Binge Watch all day. Available on Netflix.
Westworld
A remake of the 1973 Michael Crichton movie, Westworld has gained a huge following already and is said to dethrone Game of Thrones with its futuristic story themes and plots. This is going to be your kind of thing if you like well-told stories to Binge Watch. Available on Sky.
The Crown
With Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip at its heart, The Crown is both luxurious, full of history and most of all, entertaining on all types of levels. Based of true stories, it explores the younger years of Queen Elizabeth II and the events that have shaped her life. Available on Netflix.
Humans
The new season of Humans has been running on Channel 4 for a few weeks now, and is quite rightly getting the attention it deserves. Humans focusses on a reality in which synthetic robots – which are used for most things nowadays – have human emotions and intelligence. Humans explores the relationship between humans and machines through the medium of a gripping TV series, just ready to Binge Watch. Available on Channel 4.
Peaky Blinders
The Brummie based series Peaky Blinders, set in the 1920’s is a cult favourite. The Peaky Blinders are the primary gangsters in Birmingham and their exploits are set to a symphony of explosions, violence, whisky and more. Peaky Blinders is the one for you if you like integral story plot lines, with a bit of action here and there as well. Available on Netflix.
