Top 7 Movies and TV Shows to Watch During Lockdown

Money Heist This has been the best one I have watched since going into lockdown. It is a gripping, thrilling heist TV show which always keeps you on the edge of your seat. Although originally Spanish, it is dubbed, which you get used to after a while. The heist itself is one of the biggest ever heard of: robbing the Spanish Mint. The whole conniving plan is incredibly clever and the unpredictable plot keeps you guessing: what is going to happen next? This is definitely a must watch!

You The famous Dan from Gossip Girl takes on a different role in this show: Joe Goldberg, the stalker. The plot itself is sinister and twisted, which may sound off-putting, but there is a mysterious scheme in the mind of Joe that is never foreseeable, and hooks the watcher from the outset. This drama can be scary but that is what makes it so thrilling and addictive. This is definitely one to binge.

6 Underground An action-comedy filled with witty one liners and impressive action stunts, is a perfect way to escape from the lockdown. The movie is about 6 “ghosts” who aim to make their actions remembered - even if they personally will not be remembered. They are brought together by their leader, the hilarious Ryan Reynolds, all driven by the desire to erase their pasts and to take down a ruthless dictator. If you want a hilarious but captivating action movie, this is the one to watch.

Grey’s Anatomy This is already a well-known TV series but it needed to be on the list. For those who don’t know Grey’s Anatomy, it follows a group of surgeons through their journey from interns to attendings, with gripping events throughout. There are love stories, plane crashes, storms and shootings all stuffed into this intense, fast-paced drama. With most of the episodes based on true stories, you won’t want to miss this series.

Extraction Like any other action movie, there are intense fight scenes, a hero and a villain. Chris Hemsworth plays the brave saviour of a son of a powerful drug lord in India. The film sees Hemsworth and the son build a relationship throughout their dangerous adventure trying to escape a rival drug lord. It is action-packed and unpredictable, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. A real must see.

Midnight Sun In this romantic teen movie, Bella Thorne plays a character called Katie Price, who has a rare genetic condition, meaning she is fatally sensitive to sunlight. She has been kept inside and watched the world from her bedroom window. One night, she meets her crush Charlie, and her life changes dramatically. Although sad at times, this movie is great and, especially during lockdown, can take your mind off the situation and into the middle of a fantasy romance.

Ocean’s 11, 12, 13 Some of the greatest and most clever movies out there. The Ocean’s trilogy starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney, is filled with action, mystery, tension and a bit of romance on the side. The plots are based on heists and getting revenge on various slimy, rich men. It is wholly enjoyable and the witty one-liners from members of Pitt and Clooney’s crew really carry the movie home. A great binge-worthy trilogy.
