Stores, towns, schools, cities, malls, and even some countries have shut down momentarily due to this Coronavirus. They even have officially named a Pandemic by WHO, and that implies we are all going to be home viewing lots of movies and TV shows. So, we decided it would be a great concept to help you attain some fresh content to watch while you are at home for the foreseeable future, thanks to our friend, the virus. Well, unfortunately, he (maybe she) will not be considered everyone's friend. Let us dive into the entertainment scenery a bit to take off some of that added anxiety we will be dealing with within the next couple of weeks or so: 


With the many streaming services available, there is going to be something for everyone. We grouped the movies and TV shows by streaming service, and almost all of these services offer free trials too. So you can binge-watch without spending a dime. That is good in this time of uncertainty.


Forget Netflix. Let us look at various other possibilities for instance, like, Amazon Prime Video:


Amazon Prime Video is free to those that have a Prime membership. Now if you don t have one, you can sign up for a free trial. It's -days and six months for students.


One of the more popular titles to watch on Amazon Prime Video right now is Carnival Row. This stars Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne, Tamzin Merchant and Karla Crome. The premise of this one is pretty simple after humans invade the exotic homelands of mythological creatures, the growing population tries to coexist. However, they are forbidden to love or fly with freedom. There are eight hour-long episodes of Carnival Row.


Another good title is BOYS. It stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr. It is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. 


If you are a Star Wars fan, then The Mandalorian is a really good option for you. It s a single season, with eight episodes. It stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Taika Waititi, Werner Herzog. And yes, this is the one with the Baby Yoda. After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the drudgeries of a solitary gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic.


Another good option would be High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. This is a Disney+ Original. Set at East High School, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series interjects members of the drama club, and their faculty advisers, as they work their way toward the opening night of their school s first-ever production of High School Musical: The Musical. 


Then there is Marvel. Just about every Marvel movie is available on Disney+ – except for the Spider-Man movies. So you can watch all of the Marvel movies from phase and, before Black Widow's movie comes out next month. If that one does t get delayed too.

Disney+


If you re into documentaries, there are a new docuseries available that is great. It s called Hillary. It s a four-part docuseries, each episode about an hour long. And it chronicles Hillary Clinton's life in public service. From her time as First Lady of Arkansas to her campaign for the Presidency. It s a critically acclaimed docuseries, and worth checking out.


Archer is a good show to binge-watch too, especially because all ten seasons are now available on Hulu. The suave, confident and devastatingly handsome Sterling Archer may be the world's greatest spy, but he still has problems with his friends and colleagues, who live to ruin and betray one another.


If you are looking for a couple of funny movies, then What Men Want is a good option. With T. Henson, and Tracy Morgan. A woman is boxed out by the male sports agents in her profession but gains an unexpected edge over them when she develops the ability to hear their thoughts.


Instant Family is another one, with Mark Wahlberg. It is one of those feel-good comedies. A couple who decides to start a family and adopt through the foster-care system, find themselves raising three wild kids who have no interest in being parented.


One last recommendation for Hulu is American Horror Story. In case the Coronarivus pandemic is not enough to scare you, this series certainly will. All nine seasons are available on Hulu, and that will keep you busy for a while. American Horror Story is an anthology horror drama series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The Emmy® and Golden Globe® winning franchise, are produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television. Hulu.
