We may be reaching summer but it’s pretty safe to say we probably won’t be jetting off on holiday this year. So how can you kill those long summer evenings? It’s time to take a leaf out of the introverts book – it’s Netflix marathon time! Here are some of the most popular shows and films that are trending on Netflix right now. Perhaps it’s time to schedule in a Netflix Party session with your friends?!
1. Dear White People
This show is an extension of the award-winning 2014 film of the same name. A comedy-drama that isn’t afraid to deal with real and very current issues centering around a group of black students in a predominantly white Ivy League University… We binged the first season in a day without even realising –and lucky for you there are now 3 seasons to watch!
