Being in a long distance relationship for most of the time, my boyfriend and I bond over watching TV series and movies online. This has been a really great way for us to spend our time together whether we're together or miles apart.
If you're looking for your next big series to watch, you might also love our top three so far and the reasons why we're obsessed with them!
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
This was the first show that we watched together and our absolute favourite as a couple. The show, if you haven't seen it yet, is about a group of friends in New York City trying to figure out adult dilemmas like money, dating, children, family, among others.
Some people say that Friends is a bit too much and the characters are exaggerated but...aren't all fictional characters exaggerated in their own ways? We actually think that one of the things that made the show very interesting is how the characters' quirks and their situations are exaggerated. This show made us laugh in almost every episode - except for the Rachel-Joey situation.
Our favourite characters would be Chandler and Monica. Chandler used to be that one guy who could never commit but it turned out, he was just chasing the wrong people after all. He changed and was able to commit more than any of the other characters in the show when he finally fell in love with the woman he was meant to be with.
Friends is the kind of show that you might not like at the beginning but give a few more episodes a chance and just like us, you'll fall head over heels in love with it! The show in most countries is available to watch on Netflix and in Canada, you can catch in on Crave.
Modern Family
Now, this is the show that I found through Tiktok. This is guaranteed to make you laugh from the very first episode. It is about three families in three different modern set-ups: a typical large American family, a family of an immigrant and her much older husband and a family of two gay dads who adopted an Asian baby.
Not only does this show made us laugh, the characters are depicted in a much more realistic way that my boyfriend and I actually found ourselves relating some situations we come across to the characters in the show.
We both love Phil and Claire's family most especially Phil Dunphy. He might be a very quirky and weird at times, but he is definitely a very good father and husband. His character always bring fun and light to any situation that the family face. He's equally positive and realistic and extremely funny which makes his character very likeable and never annoying.
Modern Family is currently on Netflix.
Wanda Vision
My boyfriend has this goal not to miss storylines related to Dr Strange's Multiverse of Madness before its release on the big screen so he's watching tons of Marvel series on Disney+. Out of all the ones he dragged me to watch, this is the series that we both enjoyed a lot.
Wanda Vision is about a community that Wanda has "created" or isolated from the world and turned into an old school television show setting. In that world, Vision is alive and they are married. They tried to live their normal lives as a married couple but soon enough, the world catches up as Wanda loses control of everything.
At first, I found the setting a little dull but I eventually got so hooked up in it. If you're a Marvel geek like my boyfriend, I'm pretty sure you'd love this show from the very beginning. We both give this series a two thumbs up so if you're looking forward to Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness, be sure to catch this one on Disney+!
