Who knew I’d be home and out of work for so long? So here’s another installment of my “quarantine” TV quirks. Feel free to share your own in the comments!
A note on language: My husband and I like to watch shows in their original language. We just find the original actors’ voices much more natural. Also, I’m a total language nerd and I love to hear different languages and try to find sounds I recognize. But all of the shows I watch in a language other than English can also be watched in English, so you do you.
Bordertown – a Finnish cop show set in a town that borders Russia (in Finnish)
Cardinal – a Canadian cop show with Billy Campbell
Crazy Delicious – not our favorite cooking show, but we love Carla Hall
Documentary Now – a series of mockumentaries that spoof real documentaries, with Fred Armisen and Bill Hader
Fauda – an Israeli spy show (in Hebrew and Arabic)
Hinterland – a Welsh cop show with stunning landscapes
Lilyhammer – in which an American with mafia ties hides away in Norway with comedic results (in English and Norwegian)
Ramy – a dramedy about an Egyptian-American trying to find himself and his place in his religion and in his country (in English and Arabic)
Teen Wolf – TV series loosely based on the Michael J. Fox movie. Lots of hot shifter action.
The Alienist – a psychological detective series set in 1890s New York City
The Bachelor – Greatest Seasons Ever – I’ve gotta have 1 guilty pleasure dating show!
The Big Family Cooking Showdown – a spin-off of the Great British Bake-Off in which British families compete with their family-favorite recipes
