This Docu-series experiments on a random sample of 100 humans with a wide range of demographics from all over. Each episode revolves around a new theme as they partake in tests to prove/disprove theories. Some themes include which age group seems to be happiest, battle of the sexes, law of attraction, and much more.

Simple, a group of girls and a group of guys date in "pods" and can't see each other until they've agreed to get married. The group starts off at 40 - 50 people and they begin to narrow down over a period of 10 days dating in the pods. It sounds nuts but believe us, it's actually pretty fun to watch how it all unfolds.

This show is a WILD ride from start to finish. Without giving anything away, it basically revolves around a couple who loses their baby at only 13 weeks old. Unable to cope with the trauma, the mother begins to use a doll to cope with the loss. Although that sounds weird enough as it is, it gets stranger when you realize the mother sees the doll as her actual child. Then to top it ALL off, the mother hires a nanny for the doll when she has to go back to work after her "maternity leave." It's definitely a binge-worthy series that you won't be able to take your eyes off.

Chef David David travels the country visiting restaurants while interviewing their owner's chefs and A list celebrities. Nothing crazy to say other than you'll finish every episode hungrier either wanting to use your pots and pans like you're in a professional kitchen or on Postmates spending money on food... We prefer the latter.

Disney heard we were stuck in our homes and immediately saved us by releasing Frozen 2 on Disney+ three months in advance. In Frozen 2 the town on Arendale is in danger from a magical force that is turning nature against it. Elsa and Anna set out to find the truth and try to save the town. This film is a great way to spend a quarantined Saturday night, especially with all of the Olaf content.

Season 17 of Keeping up with the Kardashians is now on Hulu and this season is naturally full of drama. This seems to be Khloe's season with all of the Tristan Thompson drama and her newly single life. Oh, that and some more salad eating while someone gets yelled at through speakerphone. Has Kris done it again or is no-one wondering how the release of this season on Hulu lined up perfectly with the #stayathome movement? The devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder...

This series is definitely one that you have to be super involved in to understand. Every detail is CRUCIAL and if you look away for a second, you might miss something super important. It follows two parallel stories– The first involves Nazi hunters in 1977 as they discover that there are Nazi's living in America preparing a fourth Reich. While the second involves Operation paperclip, an operation where the U.S relocated several german scientists to the U.S that just so happened to be Nazis. So is you're looking for a show that will make you think, this one is the show for you.

Enough said. Go watch.
