Here are some reality TV shows on Netflix to binge-watch while in coronavirus self-quarantine. Fans can immerse themselves in new shows and watch every episode in record time.
The entire world is staying home thanks to the quick spread of the coronavirus. Major television networks have made the decision not to delay production on popular shows, like CBS’s Survivor and The Amazing Race, as well as the Bravo network stopping production on multiple shows. Earlier this week, the World Health Organization announced that it had upgraded the virus to a pandemic. Many networks are struggling with the concerns and hesitation surrounding the quick spread of COVID-19.
If you are telecommuting or have been forced to self-quarantine, here are some great viewing options to pass the time. Netflix recently made a name for itself in the reality TV genre with the success of Love is Blind, but there are a lot of other magnificent reality TV shows on their platform.
GIRL INCARCERATED
For the viewers who enjoyed a show with a crime theme, these young girls will not let you down. The show is a mix between Locked Up and Annie. It has been nothing but a hard knock life for most of these girls as they struggle to get their young lives on the right path. The girls have been sent to LaPorte Juvenile Correctional Facility in Indiana, where fans will watch as they miss out on major milestones, fight one another over their jail girlfriends, and ultimately graduate from the program. The warden is a man who genuinely cares about the future of each young girl and does everything he can to show them that they can succeed. The show will open viewers' eyes to the idea that not every child has an easy upbringing and with already two seasons, you will have 16 full episodes to keep you company.
YUMMY MUMMIES
This gem comes from the land down under and follows around moms-to-be who live a posh life in Melbourne, Australia. The women are primped and never wear flats, even while nine months pregnant. Three of the women have formed their own group on Instagram, which gained notoriety with the fourth member, Maria, hailing from Adelaide, trying to break into their friend circle. For many fans, she was the hardest to watch, as her life revolved around everything designer, especially Versace. The opulent ladies show off their presents, which consist of a white Range Rover and olive-green diamond with their spending knowing no boundaries. There was even a horse-drawn carriage for a baby shower. Any new couch potato will love mocking them for an entire two season, 20 episode run.
NAILED IT
Nailed It is not where you go to improve your baking skills. Hosted by Nicole Byer and world-famous pastry chef, Jacques Torres the premise is to spotlight three contestants each episode who have not been known to be the best bakers by their family and friends and pick the best of the worst to win a $10,000 cash prize. Each episode has a great theme such as holidays, superheroes, or Donald Trump. The three lucky participants must try to recreate a baking masterpiece, which usually comes out very differently from the example. Who knows, maybe on the next season they will dedicate a segment to the coronavirus or the couch potato. This show currently has 32 episodes released so binging could start right away.
