Need a little distraction? Fancy procrastinating in front of your laptop for a few hours? Oh boy do I have some Netflix recommendations for you!
Community
I have such a sentimental place in my heart for Community. The fast moving, witty comedy centred around a study group of misfits at a Community college, is now well into its sixth season which means you have so much to binge watch if you haven’t gotten into the show yet. Full of ridiculous storylines and humour to keep you laughing for days, Community is a fantastic show to add to your ‘To Watch’ list and will remain a classic for years to come. With it’s 20 minute episodes and laid-back story arcs, it’s also an easy show to hop in and out of and a great one to pick up at any point.
White Collar
Another long running series centred on the ever charming and oh-so-handsome Matt Bomer. White Collar follows the story of Neal Caffrey (Bomer), an conman who escapes federal prison after serving a four year sentence. He’s captured again by Peter Burke, the FBI agent who caught him four years ago, but instead of sending him back to jail Burke has a proposal…earn his freedom by working for the FBI’s white collar crime unit, where Burke will utilise Neal’s ‘special skills’ in high-end crime and forgery to help catch some notorious criminals. Caffrey agrees to the arrangement and the two embark on the most unconventional ‘buddy cop’ drama on screen.
If you’re a fan of Catch Me If You Can, this is basically like a 21st Century version of that. Despite the crime-drama premise the storylines are good fun and both Neal and Peter definitely don’t seriously. It’s also a brilliant peek into the glamourous world of high-end crime.
