“[During this pandemic,] Netflix has entertained me and kept me from being bored,” Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School freshman Amaris Ruddock said. “It has [also] kept me happy and sane during these uncertain times.”

While we are still staying socially distant and are home much as possible Netflix is here to help with ten entertaining shows. Ahead are the 10 series and movies that Netflix fans in the United States are currently watching.
