Last weekend I came down with the flu and was stuck in my room the whole weekend with my TV and my Kindle. The first day I reached out to friends and family for television show recommendations to help occupy my time when I wasn’t sleeping. With all the different sicknesses from COVID-19, the flu, the stomach bug and more going around, I figured I would make a list of shows and movies I watched as recommendations for others who happen to catch an illness.

For those who have Netflix, I recommend the new Addams Family show Wednesday; I watched the whole season in one day. It offers the perfect mix of fantasy and suspense and will leave you wanting more. It also just got renewed for a second season. Other shows from Netflix I recently binged and recommend include
- Firefly Lane
- Ginny and Georgia
- The Glass Onion
- The Recruit
- Echoes
- The Crown
On Hulu, I just finished The League … old but good. The show follows a group of friends that has a fantasy football league and will do anything to win a special trophy at the end of the season. I found The League hysterical, but it definitely appeals to a certain demographic and comedy type. Other shows on Hulu to watch are
- Abbott Elementary (originating on ABC)
- Home Economics (also on ABC)
- Bob’s Burgers (originating on Fox)
Moving on to HBO Max, I know The White Lotus has been blowing up on social media. I watched the second season as it was released, but I recently convinced all my friends to watch both seasons because of how much I loved it. I’ve also been watching
- Gossip Girl (the reboot)
- Sex Lives of College Girls
- Entourage
Hopefully no one else gets sick, but hopefully this list of shows will help you get through it.

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
