So much television, so little time…
We’re helping you plan your weekend by looking at the most binge-able new content that’s popping up on streaming services.
We’re Netflix-heavy this week, as the online streaming giant just keeps pumping out quality.
“Explained”
Netflix
A Vox Media docuseries, “Explained”, based on their informational podcasts, sets out to literally ‘explain’ deep and complicated topics. Clocking in with twenty 20-minute episodes, there is an enormous amount of content here to digest, but trust us, you’ll get through it really fast. From topics like cryptocurrency, relationships and custom DNA, educational doesn’t have to be boring, as Vox manages to make this series fun, funny and fascinating no matter the subject.
“The Break with Michelle Wolf”
Netflix
After her fantastic appearance at the 2018 White House Correspondents Dinner, Michelle Wolf really made her mark in political comedy. Now she has her own weekly late night talk show on Netflix, and the first episode comes out this Sunday. Its clear that now, with her own show, the gloves are off, and shes willing to say things that she wouldn’t have gotten away with in her previous gigs. Mixing interviews, discussion about current events, stand up comedy and sketches, Wolf’s intensity and enthusiasm is always front and center.
“The Toys That Made Us”
Netflix
Season 1 of Netflix’s docuseries “The Toys That Made Us” was a surprise hit when it dropped late in 2017, and we’ve been demanding more episodes ever since. You may this its hard to top its first episode about Star Wars toys, but season 2 has equally fascinating stories about the origins of beloved toy lines like LEGO and The Transformers. Despite the fact that its a show about toys, “The Toys That Made Us” is actually aimed at an older audience, as sentimentality and nostalgia are what drive the show. But, even if you didn’t grow up with these toys, its still a great history lesson.
