Best Netflix Binge

We are going to switch things up for our Hot Spot of the week! Since we are all social-distancing and self-quarantining we are going to be bringing you different things each week to help keep you entertained. This week we are focusing on Netflix shows! A good Binge-a-thon can be a great way to take your mind off of things and help you relax. Here are our favorite shows that you can currently find on Netflix listed alphabetically.

If you are able to buy gift cards or do takeout to support your local businesses, please do, we really want to see them on the other side of this!
