Curled up on the couch and mindlessly scrolling through the hundred of pages of media that are thrown at us, must be boring. The only alternatives seems to be cleaning the house up, that's starting to look like a hovel or studying. Both the most boring tasks of the century.

Quarantine comes with privilege. We must not forget that. The privilege to being able to afford food while cooped up, to protect yourself from a deadly disease, but also protecting others from getting it in the first place.

So here are my first picks, so you can enjoy the quarantine in peace. And staying home won't be too much of a hassle.

1. Money heist

A group of thieves takes the bank of Royal Mint of Spain hostage, hoping to be richer by the ordeal. Lead by magnanimous and genius professor we see these youngsters and adults alike, change the history forever.

By the end of the season 4, you'll be DYING to get your hands on season 5, totally in love with the professor, and wanting more and more. I enjoyed the fast-paced way the director put the plot. The story-line is extremely riveting and even though technically they are the very bad guys, but that won't stop you from routing for them to succeed. Do they though? It's all for you to find out!

2. The handmaid's tale

Chilling and haunting ''The handmaid's tale''on netflix keeps us on the edge with it's riveting story line. It is based off on Margaret Atwood's novel with the same name. Women are no longer free to work, and doused in a life where they are taken away from the children, and forced to bear child after child for the rich.

The handmaid's are a commodity for their ability to bear children, owned by their commanders, men who had helped throw off the America's democracy to appoint a hitler like environment, we are left asking ''What if?'' Who will snap first? Will the violated have their justice? Will these women ever be free again from Gilead's clutches? Watch to know!

3. The sinners series

Each season showcases a different mystery, a different murder to solve. You will never guess the ending. The seasons seemed to be getting better and better, and we are left on the edge of our seats, always.

Seemingly innocent people are not who they seem to be. Or are they? It starts out with a woman and her husband on the beach in season 1. Something is off, something is about to happen and it does. Somebody gets murdered and we are left asking WHY? I loved the tension the director seemed to put in the story line and I'm sure you will too! Hopefully.

4. YOU

It all starts with Joe and his disturbing tendencies to follow one un-assuming, innocent girl. The story-line is riveting from the start, and we are left asking. What is wrong with Joe? I personally loved season 2 more than season 1 though!

5. The derry girls

You'll be left laughing your heads off as you follow the derry girls. Four girls and one accidental guy who ends up in the right place at the wrong. If you're tired of all the dystopian shows and needs a laugh, the derry girls season 1 is the right place to go. I simply loved the show, shot in new england. They are at war, but the derry girls are struggling with their crushes and fitting in. You won't regret watching it!

6. DARK

Two children go missing in a small town, and it's residents are left wondering whether it's sinister past has something to do with it? We see devastated families grapple with the change as businesses are lost and families are torn as they look for solace in a world that has suddenly shifted for them.
