If you’re having a slow summer, the best way to remedy that is to embrace it and just be. And one way to be a relaxed homebody this summer is to crank the A/C up to a ridiculous degree, get cosy under a blanket, and binge some TV shows.
From the comfort classics to regional favourites, here are our picks of bingeable TV that will keep you entertained all day.
Dubai Bling
We’ve been itching to revisit Dubai Bling ever since Danya Mohammed appeared as our Issue 002 cover star. This show is all about chaos, drama, and absurd antics you cannot look away from, making it the perfect bingeable show to have on. This show is especially fun with community, so get your friends and have a binge party.
Catalog
If reality TV isn’t your cup of tea, how about something heartwarming? Catalog is a heartfelt series that tells the story of recently widowed Youssef (played by Mohamed Farrag) and the challenges he has to face. Set in Egypt, it explores themes of loss, grief, parenting, and Arab family life.
Gilmore Girls
Staying on the theme of shows about family, Gilmore Girls is the OG comfort show. This show is especially good if you’re already fantasising about the colder months and want to give your eyes a feast on 2000s fashion.
Next in Fashion
A competition show hosted by designer Tan France and model Gigi Hadid. In this show, we see designers compete with each other for the chance to win $250,000. It’s a fun show to watch and a treat for fashionistas.
The Residence
If you’re a fan of Agatha Christie and Only Murders In The Building, then this show will be right up your alley. A mystery comedy, you can finish this series in a day if you commit to it.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive
If you’ve seen F1: The Movie and are now interested in the motorsport, then this docuseries is a great binge-watch. With 7 seasons to watch, you get a real insight into the world of F1.
Finding Ola
A light drama starring actress Hend Sabry, it’s a show that captures your attention and you cannot help but binge! Exploring themes of women’s empowerment and the challenges divorced women face in society, put this on if you’re looking for something both funny and thought-provoking.
Thank You, Next
There’s something about Turkish dramas that we can’t help but binge. Thank You, Next is all about romance with plenty of fashion inspo on the side.
