Now is not the time for endless scrolling through Netflix
Photo: Rosley Majid/EyeEm/Getty Images With every week that passes in social isolation, it gets harder to know what to do with myself in the evenings after work. I know I’m not alone in this because of the number of people I see on social media asking for help deciding what movie to watch. In normal times, this is a reckless move: You’re likely to be inundated with all sorts of well-meaning but obvious and boring suggestions that continue long after your movie-viewing window has closed.
We started with Harry Potter, which I do recommend, though the final movie is terrible, and when we got to it we ended up putting it off for a night. We did watch it eventually, though, because this is a framework that only works if you’re faithful to it. Most franchises will have a weak point, or several. This is about mindless relaxation more than it is genuine enjoyment. When you watch a franchise’s better installments, it’s an opportunity to recognize a job well done.
