Self-isolation isn't for the faint of heart and if it weren't for us having access to a few creature comforts (like wifi, streaming, and food delivery) I'm not sure I'd be able to take it for longer than a week. I mean, at first it was simply having to get adjusted along with the uncertainty of what distance learning was going to look like and now every day is on repeat with no foreseeable end.
I am going to preface this with the honest truth that I know how lucky I am to be in a position to be "bored" or need something to do during this pandemic. Everyone's situations are hard, and there are extremely hard moments for us at times. But, what keeps me sane and allows me to have a little "me time" has been the ability to watch a few of my favorite shows in between preparing videos, lessons, and materials for distance learning.
With that said, here are my favorite shows I've been binge watching, a few I need to catch up on, and some that I haven't watched yet but am curious about.
