During these dark times, we all need something light-hearted to brighten up our day. Since we have to stay inside, the activities we can do are limited. As a result, streaming sites like Netflix have become more and more popular. I have come up with a list of three shows that are entertaining and will generate a laugh during these hard times.
Tiger King
Tiger King is a docu-series released on March 20, 2020 that focuses on Joe Exotic. Exotic is a collector of big cats that he keeps in his zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma. The series looks at all aspects of his life from his cats to his arrest. You are immersed into a train wreck that you just cannot look away from. If you feel that you are not normal, watch this show and you will feel perfectly normal compared to the wild characters.
The Office
The Office is an award-winning series that was released in 2005 and went off-air in 2013. The Office is a comedy mockumentary about everyday life at a mid-level paper company. This series will provide you with a light-hearted laugh from beginning to end. The mindless humor is a perfect way to brighten anyone’s day. When watching this show, you find yourself laughing and sometimes even crying at the heartwarming back story. The Office is a quarantine must-watch.
Parks and Recreation
Parks and Recreation is another classic show that stays high on the list of Netflix offerings. Parks and Rec is a political satire sitcom created by the creators of The Office. The show focuses on the Parks and Rec department in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana. Throughout the show, the viewer is immersed into the antics of the public officials and the heart-warming backstory that the characters go through. Just like The Office, this show will make you laugh and cry sometimes at the same time. This is a perfect show to watch to get away from the negatives of the outside world.
