Netflix, you’re too good to us.
You have no plans for the long weekend. Don’t act like you do.
You’ll be either sitting in, sitting out your back garden, or sitting in bed waiting for a Chinese to arrive lamenting the fact that you can’t hang out with your mates.
But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom, lads. We could make the most of our time at home.
We could take up new skills. We could reignite our love of cooking. Or we could rewatch every single episode of New Girl and the first seven seasons of Modern Family.
Whichever.
Netflix added all episodes of New Girl and the first seven seasons of Modern Family today (May 1), so if you were on the hunt for something decent to switch off to for the weekend, we got you.
Starring the wonderful Zooey Deschanel, New Girl details the life, love, and friendships of Jess, a teacher who moves into an LA apartment with three lads.
The series was rather popular during its seven year run, receiving several notable award nominations and being all but responsible for the careers of Max Greenfield and Jake Johnson.
Elsewhere, Modern Family has also enjoyed massive success since first airing back in 2009.
Spanning an impressive 11 seasons, the series was fairly groundbreaking in terms of its portrayal of LGBT relationships and diversity, representations that were essentially missing from TV before.
While all 11 seasons are not currently available to stream on Netflix, seven should be enough to keep even the binge-iest of us busy for a long weekend.
Hopefully.
Also added to Netflix today are the iconic Labyrinth, The Cat in the Hat, The Rugrats Movie, and You’ve Got Mail.
Spoiled for choice, the lot of us.
New Girl and Modern Family are streaming on Netflix now.
