7 Great Netflix Series To Watch If You’re Not Leaving The House This Weekend

It’s been an absolutely horrendous week on the weather front and it doesn’t look like things are going to get much better for the weekend.

Our recommendation is to light a fire, lock the door and embark on the ultimate Netflix marathon.

While there are plenty of great films on there, a good series is the way to go for a lengthy binge as each episode will autoplay and you won’t have to get off the couch for HOURS.

Sold? Here are some of our favourites…

The People V O.J. Simpson

You probably know how it ends but it doesn’t make this drama any less gripping. Cuba Gooding Jnr is great in the lead role but unfortunately we just can’t see David Schwimmer (who plays Robert Kardashian) as anyone other than Ross Gellar. Still, it’s worth a look.

Wolf Hall

If you like your period dramas, this series based on the books of Hilary Mantel is a great choice. It won Best Miniseries at The Emmys, which is always a good sign, and has been praised for its historical accuracy.

Backstrom

One for those days when you want to switch your brain off completely and have a good laugh, Backstrom tells the tale of a “smart but obnoxious cop who heads up Portland’s Special Crimes Unit”. If you liked Brooklyn Nine Nine or Monk, you’ll like this one.

Ultimate Beastmaster

This addictive series see elite athletes from six countries pitted against each other in an intensive obstacle course. Once you get over the shame of watching it while eating a whole tube of Pringles, it’s brilliant.
