Wherever you live, there is some sort of Lockdown Order that is or was in place. It’s hard to say how long these orders will stay or go just yet, but one thing is certain…. we still live for entertainment.
During the last several weeks, we’ve asked our readers to tell us what shows they are watching to keep entertained. Overwhelmingly, the number one media service provider that came up was NETFLIX. So we asked what are the favorite NETFLIX shows or films you’re watching during the Zombie apocalypse. This was the feedback we got.
We listed them in alphabetical order, we added some commentary of the highest ranked shows and we even provided a few trailers. See where your show landed!

DARK
Dark is a German drama about time travel and confused teenagers. But if you were constructing a course about its themes, Item 1 on the syllabus would be the variable concepts of responsibility and free will; Item 1a would be multigenerational trauma.
