When the first few cases of coronavirus came to light, nobody took them seriously. Mistaken as an outbreak of the common flu, which would subside on its own, it soon became a menace with its high transmission and mortality rate.

While the first few days indoors were seemingly fun, where we got to enjoy some downtime, staying cooped up at home now they are quickly becoming unbearable. With all recreational activities put on hold, like going to the mall, grabbing a meal at a restaurant, going to the theatre, not to forget meeting friends and family, the mind is at risk of going insane.

We have compiled the ultimate list of the top TV series and movies sure to keep you entertained in Quarantine.

So, that it. This should help you get through it all. It is unfortunate that the US did not respond to the pandemic sooner. The dire situation of Italy before us was an alarm bell that we could have easily listened to, but it was ignored.
We also did not pay heed to expert advice calling for self-isolation and social distancing to mitigate the crisis. It is not surprising that the number of people infected by the novel coronavirus has soared to 5.6 million.
Now that we are stuck in this horrendous situation, the only thing we can do right now is to quarantine ourselves in our homes. So let us give our best towards this task and while we are at it, enjoy some good cinema and binge on popular TV series. Your trusty RCN internet should be able to provide you all that you need and more.
