5 Shows for Parents to Binge Watch

The stay-home order has many families looking for fun ways to keep the kids occupied – and that means a lot of Disney+ binging is happening.

While this is great for kids, we bet you’re pretty bored with the same old animated flicks day in and day out, which is why we’ve compiled these five binge-worthy shows for grown-ups to watch, sans kids.

Space Force

You

This psychological thriller is based on a novel by Caroline Kepnes and follows the story of Joe Goldberg, a bookstore manager who falls in love with a customer named Guinevere Beck.

Dead To Me

A widow is searching for the driver involved in the hit-and-run that killed her husband when she befriends a bubbly woman at a grief support group – a woman who isn’t exactly what she seems.
