Not going out or partying this weekend? Worry not, for the Lord has given us Netflix and a bunch of mini-series that we could finish in these 2 days. 

1. Altered Carbon

This is science-fiction at its best. Based on the novel by Richard Morgan, the story is set in the future where everybody’s consciousnesses have been downloaded into stacks and can be transferred into sleeves or bodies.

2. Seven Seconds

The show revolves around the death of an African American teenager. The 15-year-old is run over by a white cop and is left on the road to die. The show throws in heavy racial politics into its scheme of things and gets incredibly messy and brutal.

6. The Punisher

If you loved Frank Castle from Daredevil‘s season 2, this is the show you have been waiting for. The series revolves around Castle’s time in the army and the murder of his family and the conspiracy to hide the grander scheme of things.

7.  Wet Hot American Summer

The Netflix parody series sees 40-year-olds  playing high school kids in a prequel to a film where the same actors in their 30s were playing teenagers. It’s like an inside joke inside an inside joke.

8. American Vandal

The synopsis for this show will most definitely sound stupid and juvenile to you but once you watch it, you will understand that it is a very smartly written and well-directed show about suspects and conspiracy theories and the mystery about who spray-painted dicks on every car in the school parking lot.

9. Atypical

This is a coming-of-age sitcom revolving around an 18-year old with autism. Now that he is at an age where he wants to date, the show covers his awkward encounters with various women among other things.

The show isn’t fun or relaxing but is expressly binge watch worthy. It sees a money launderer and his wife move from Chicago to Missouri to clean $8 million in 3 months or have their family killed by a drug cartel.
