So, you’d rather stay in tonight? It’s easy to get lost in the plethora of films ready to stream at our disposal. The movie world is our oyster, and, having already settled into the fashionable choice of Chinese take-out alone on a Friday evening, it may be difficult to narrow your options down to just one.
This is where I come in! Having spent plenty of nights myself enjoying the peace of solitude, I’ve had time to go through the endless titles that Netflix and Hulu Plus have to offer. So, each week I’ll be posting five films, television shows, etc. that I believe would befit your couch potato needs.
Here’s just a television version for those of you who are currently on winter break and need something productive to do:
The It Crowd: This is easily one of my favorite shows and also one of the funniest. The show never tries to bridge genres; it’s strictly comedy and it’s good at it. Chris O’Dowd, Richard Ayoade and Katherine Parkinson play three IT department employees who are either actively trying to pretend they don’t care about what the rest of the building thinks of them or trying to earn their respect. With pop-culture references, a fantastic use of visual comedy (but more on that with one of my later picks) and actors who are game for anything, the show has a lot to work with. “Work Outing” makes me laugh every single time I watch it, and I’ve watched it a lot.
