While we’re in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and many of us are now working from home, I thought I’d share a few things I’ve found that helped me not feel cooped up and isolated. This is what worked for me and you will have your methods that work better for you, do what makes you function best and makes you happy! Tomorrow, I will go into my pantry and share some tips on Instagram as well as here that will hopefully make your life easier while we’re working from home. Some of the English Language Shows A Few non-English Language TV shows
Toy Boy (Spanish/Netflix) – there is some crime and mystery here but with a name like Toy Boy, you’re not really looking for a deep story here. This show made by Salma Hayek is brilliant, I hope a season 2 comes out soon – watch Monarca (Spanish). Other good Spanish shows are Elite, Unauthorized Living, The House of Flowers, All my friends know of my obsession with Turkish TV shows, here are some good ones on Netflix – Gonul, The Protector, Black Money Love, The Gift, Winter Sun. One thing I love about Turkish TV shows, they always show what people eat and you get to see a lot of local foods (that I now want to learn and cook – the pepper bread is quite a popular topic that keeps coming up in Black Money Love). Eye candy alert! Nordic Shows (Netflix): Occupied, The Valhalla Murders, Rita (comedy), Ragnarok (This is the one that confused me about people who bathe in milk – do they wash with soap after? Milk fat will turn rancid on your skin, also this is too ridiculous of a beauty habit) French (Netflix): Black Spot (crime), The Break (crime, season 2 was not my favorite), PBS Masterpiece has a lot of good European crime shows (Lots of Nordic Crime shows in this list): Beck, Cover Story, Modus, Night and Day, Vanished by the Lake, Thou Shalt Not Kill, Innocent, The Lawyer, Thicker than Water, All the Sin, 35 Diwrnod (Welsh crime show, this is produced in a very interesting way, everything starts from the end). Italian TV shows (Acorn TV) – Sisters (the landscapes are gorgeous and so is the food that some times is shown and discussed but without giving too much away, the though process of the characters in this show got me annoyed at times), From Father to Daughter, Back Home. French TV Shows (Acorn TV) – Balthazar (eye candy crime show).
