For those of you who don’t know, the UK is a third of the way (pretty much) through their second national lockdown. And if, like me, you’ve completely finished your List on Netflix, I’m here to find you some new options! Netflix comes out with new content pretty much every day and so I have some new gems, but I’ve written many of these before, and you can read them here:
- Bingeworthy Netflix Shows
- TV Shows to Bingewatch on Netflix
- Top 10 Netflix Shows
- Bingeworth TV Shows To Watch Online
And here are my latest favourites!
Enola Holmes
I feel like this is one of Netflix’s greats! And not only because it’s actually a really good film, but because it genuinely doesn’t feel like Netflix. You’ve got big names, it’s cleverly directed and it feels like a big screen hit. And I mean no offence to Netflix (because by God am I a fan of them), but if you’ve seen it you’ll know what I mean! It’s also nice to watch something that’s like 2 hours of your life and then done.
Set It Up
Effectively a work place parent trap, I am such a fan of this film. I’ve actually watched it 3 times. The characters are endearing and it’s a chuckle funny film! You’ve got 2 exhausted PAs who set their bosses up on a date…and then I’m sure you can predict how it’s going to end. But it’s a great easy watch!
Emily In Paris
Could I talk about a Netflix recommended list and not mention this show? Probably not. This is such a bingeworthy TV show. An American who works in marketing moves to Paris for work without speaking a word of French… and it’s just a typical chickflick tv show! It’s definitely a guilty pleasure… you want to hate it, but something inside you just loves it! Also, as someone trying to learn French… I can relate to pretty much every struggle she has!

Riverdale
Ok, sometimes this show does get a little insane (with Gargoyle Kings and Serial Killers galore), but there is something quite addictive about it. You follow the lives of a group of teenagers in a pretty messed up town solving riddles and getting themselves into unimaginable trouble!
Selling Sunsets
What a trash tv show! And yet I love it! I mean you’re literally watching a group of glamorous women sell ridiculously priced properties, BUT it’s somehow amazing! It’s effectively a reality TV show where you follow the lives of these real women.. and the cat fights! Owch!
The Umbrella Academy
So if you’re looking for something you can actually watch with your other half, this is it. It’s like a cool superhero show with time travels and ends of the world and everything you need … well for a superhero TV show. But it has some amazing characters in it from Five to Klaus!
Modern Family
Not a Netflix original, but it is on Netflix. This is one of those classic American TV shows where there are a million episodes and it doesn’t matter too much if you watch them out of sync. You follow the live of a family with all their quirks and arguments from the judgy Granded to the gay son to the grandchildren! Love this show!
Elite
So this show is strictly speaking dubbed, but it’s done pretty well! Set in Spain, it follows the lives of kids in a very esteemed private school where someone seems to be murdered every season and you spend the season unravelling whodunnit!
Dyansty
A remake of the 1980s show of the same name, this is a GREAT show! It’s effectively two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys, feud for control over their fortune and their children. And one of the main characters, Fallon Carrington, is just wonderful! Witty and intelligent… ah, love it!
What’s on your Netflix recommendation list?

Have only seen a couple of these but really enjoyed them both – definite soft spot for Millie Bobby Brown (not in THAT way but think she’s brilliant) so Enola Holmes was spot on but also think Modern Family is such a great series. Will have to look out for the rest!
It was great! Such a good film (especially for Netflix, but even if I’d seen it on the big screen)!
Great recommendations! I love dynasty and Enola Homes is a great movie! I definitely want to watch Emily in Paris as it sounds amazing!
Emily in Paris is great! A proper guilty pleasure, but still great! x
I’d add on there The Queens Gambit. Its not something I’d ever consider watching but me and my friend have been doing tv show/movie FaceTime dates and its soooo good. Would recommend!

I’ve been seeing it online and not known what to think of it, but maybe I should give it a go! x
We’re definitely headed for a lockdown in the states too! I’m loving the Queen’s Gambit right now! Emily in Paris is next on my list!

Hope you enjoy it (Emily in Paris… not a lockdown!)! x
Great suggestions, I’ve actually not watched most of these, but I love Dynasty. I’d add Sex Education to the list x
Sophie
Ooo loved Sex Education too! x
I’ve read a lot of good reviews about Enola Holmes… I really need to watch this asap. Emily in Paris sounds like a fun tv series to watch too. Thanks for the recommendations.
I’d really recommend Enola Holmes… it’s actually really good! x
I love Selling Sunset and Dynasty. Highly highly recommend! Dynasty was kind of a surprise for me, but I started to sympathise with the main character who starts off as the show’s villain. I’m all caught up with it, but I think no matter what Fallon does in subsequent seasons, I’ll probably still be biased towards her.
Thanks for sharing this list, all the best and stay safe in your second lockdown!
Glad it’s not me who really feels for Fallon! x
What a great list! I love Selling Sunset and I’m actually really tempted to rewatch it, as it’s such an easy watch, but so addictive. Emily in Paris has been on my wishlist for the longest time xx

I can’t wait for them to release a new season! And Emily in Paris is great! x
Some great recommendations! You just reminded me that I have to get back to Dynasty haha.

Hahah glad I was the reminder you needed! haha x
Ok. Apparently, I’ve really fallen off on my Netflix game because I haven’t seen any of these. But I think I’ll dig into The Umbrella Academy and Elite.
Emily In Paris is what I’m TRYING to currently watch and YOU since I just finished the audiobook!
I Love YOU too! x
Oooh I love your list! There are a few on here that I haven’t seen before so I’ll be adding them to my list. I love Set It Up – must’ve watched it about 5 times haha x

It’s such a good easy film! Love it x
I fancy The Umbrella Academy. I do tend to watcg Netflix films and series only by recommendations, instead of going for pot luck. Thanks for this, it looks really good.
Aww glad I could help! x
The last show I watched was Emily in Paris. Really liked it and am looking forward to season 2.

Ooo that’s been in the back of my mind for ages! x
Ooo these are fabulous recommendations. My partner and I literally devoured Emily in Paris within two nights! xx
It’s a proper bingeworthy tv show! x
I have heard of some of those names but haven’t seen any of them…I like more of the sci-fi/futuristic shows like the 100, Lost in Space, Another Life, 3%, The Rain etc. Was thinking to try the Umbrella Academy at some point!!
Ooo The 100 was a great show, I haven’t been past season 2 thought !x
I’m so obsessed with Modern Family at the moment! Also, adore Umbrella Academy – especially season 2 x
I have watched Schitt’s Creek 2 x now. lol. Also just finished the second season of Virgin River. Loved the Queen’s Gambit and My Octopus Teacher. Just watched the Fishermans Friends, though not sure this is your genre. YOU was good….looking forward to checking out Elite. Thanks for the recommendations!
Ooo thanks fo the recommendations, always up for finding new shows!
