To beat boredom, watch...
‘Watching series is one of my favourite things to do: Dexter, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Modern Family, The Good Place, Jane the Virgin, Schitt’s Creek, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Good Girls… gosh, I could go on forever.’ Cindy Alfino
‘Widow with Kate Beckinsale and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel – both focus on a strong, brilliant woman, which I love.’
Louise Carver
‘My husband and I binge-watched Ozark and Designated Survivor on Netflix. But, if you enjoy reality shows (and social media), The Circle USA and The Circle France make for great entertainment.’
Bailey Schneider
‘On Netflix, Queen Sono (obvs) is fantastic, but I also love Call My Agent!, a hysterical French show similar to Extras – but better! The Last Dance, an amazing documentary about Michael Jordan, and Ugly Delicious, a superb food show are both fantastic. On Showmax I’m all about girl power: Sex and the City, Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies.’ Kate Liquorish
‘Mindhunter, Ozark and Broadchurch if you’re into investigative thrillers and dramas; Easy and Atypical for lighter viewing.’
Jane de Wet
‘La Casa De Papel (aka Money Heist) on Netflix is fabulous. And I LOVED Big Little Lies on Showmax; the acting is just phenomenal.’ Rolanda Marais, film, TV and theatre actress, recently in M-Net’s Trackers
‘My favourite foodie shows on Netflix are Jiro Dreams of Sushi, Chef’s Table, Barbecue, Taco Chronicles, A Tale of Two Kitchens, Zumbo’s Just Desserts, Ugly Delicious, Cooked, The Final Table, Rotten, Salt Fat Acid Heat and Theatre of Life.’
Katelyn Allegra
‘My husband and I are watching Hollywood on Netflix, and I love Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in Grace and Frankie.’
Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp ‘If you haven’t watched
Tiger King... it’s a pleasure.’ Schalk Bezuidenhout
‘I don’t usually watch much TV but I’m loving documentaries at the moment – The Game Changers and Inside Bill’s Brain are great. I also just got started on the Serena Williams one, Being Serena.’
Rachel Kolisi
‘I am a terrible binger, but considering that I don’t drink or smoke, this is the least I can do. On Amazon, I love Transparent
(the more dysfunctional the family, the better) and Fleabag; on Showmax Barry, The Loudest Voice, Atlanta and I’m rewatching The Sopranos; on Netflix, I am watching The Kominsky Method and Better Call Saul.
Annika Larsen
‘I have just finished watching
Little Fires Everywhere [on Showmax from July] – it’s such an emotional series about love, sexuality, race and family. I enjoy a little information and education when I watch something, although sometimes I enjoy things just for pure entertainment like Too Hot to Handle on Netflix.’
