My Top Show and Movie Recommendations
Studying remotely has left me with a large amount of time on my hands. I figured I might as well watch some new shows and movies! This is my list of recommendations for some shows and movies I have watched and loved, what I’m currently watching, and what I plan to watch.
Already Watched
Lost in Space
Based loosely off of the 1960’s TV show, Lost in Space, this story follows the Robinson family as they travel through space to a planet on which people are setting up to be a colony. This is due to the terrible quality of air on Earth. Little did the family expect they would encounter alien life, let alone expect that the youngest Robinson, Will, would be developing a bond with a robot alien.
Set It Up
Two people with nightmare bosses decided to play match-maker and set their bosses up. As the assistants grow closer, is it their love story ... or their boss’s? If you’re looking for something funny with a little romance, this is a great choice.
All American
Spencer is a star football player in his hometown, and one day, a coach from another town spots him. He wants to take Spencer out of his town away from the gangs and help his career. Spencer hesitates but takes the offer. Learning the culture of the wealthier half, social drama and personal drama all follow Spencer to his new life. Overall, the first season was very good and was produced well. If you’re looking for a drama, look no further.

Crash Landing on You
This is a Korean drama about an heiress to a large South Korean company who accidentally lands in North Korea after a parasailing accident. She then is found by a handsome North Korean soldier. The two main characters fall in love despite their differences. The scenes in North Korea are based on accounts from a North Korean defector who was one of the writers.
Making the Cut
Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn host a design competition with a prize of one million dollars. The designers present collections in cities around the world. The winner of each challenge has their garment ready to be sold on Amazon. Heidi and the other judges can cut people from the competition with each challenge. This show is great if you love design competition shows or just want something interesting to watch.
Killing Eve
Eve Polastri is investing in a female assassin and her employers. The suspenseful and dramatic show has many plot twists and keeps the viewer in shock for most of the show. As both Eve and the assassin struggle with the consequences, their obsessions with each other act like a magnet between the two women. If you love a good mystery and suspense, I highly suggest this show.
Planning to Watch
