Best Shows To Watch As A Couple 2020

So, you're stuck inside. With your significant other. Again.

Movie night has become…predictable, hasn’t it? Let's ditch the rom-coms (unless you both secretly love them) and dive into shows. Shows you can binge. Shows that spark actual conversation. (Maybe even a little playful arguing.)

The Unpopular Opinions Ahead

Prepare yourselves. My taste is… unique. I favor shows that are a bit odd, slightly dark, and guaranteed to prevent glazed-over, phone-scrolling evenings.

For the Love of Laughs (and Maybe a Little Cringe)

First up: "What We Do in the Shadows". Vampires! Staten Island! Need I say more?

It's a mockumentary about ancient (and incredibly inept) vampires trying to navigate modern life. Expect awkwardness, ridiculousness, and surprisingly heartwarming moments. If you both like "The Office", this is your next obsession.

Next, "Schitt's Creek". Yes, I know, everyone loves it. But hear me out! If you haven't watched it together, you're missing out on shared belly laughs.

The Rose family’s journey from riches to rags is pure gold. Plus, Moira Rose's vocabulary is a gift that keeps on giving.

Thrillers That Will Keep You Up at Night (But in a Good Way!)

Want something suspenseful? Try "The Haunting of Bly Manor". Forget jump scares. This is about atmosphere, dread, and genuinely compelling characters.

It's a ghost story. But also, it’s a love story. Get ready to discuss the meaning of life (and afterlife) until 3 AM.

If you prefer something a bit more grounded, "Ozark" is your pick. A family gets entangled in money laundering. What could go wrong?

The tension is palpable. The stakes are high. Just don’t start laundering money yourself after watching it. Please.

Something a Little Different

Ready for something truly bizarre? "The Good Place". It's a comedy about the afterlife. Sounds weird, right?

It’s hilarious. It's philosophical. It makes you think about what it means to be a good person. (No pressure!)

Finally, for those with slightly darker tastes, "Killing Eve". Cat and mouse games between an assassin and an MI6 agent.

It’s stylish, suspenseful, and surprisingly funny. Plus, the chemistry between the two leads is electric. But maybe, don't try to kill each other after watching.

Bonus Tip: The All-Important Snack Situation

No binge-watching session is complete without snacks. Avoid anything too messy (looking at you, wings). Opt for popcorn, chips, or maybe even a fancy cheese board if you're feeling ambitious.

And remember: sharing is caring! (Unless it's the last piece of chocolate. Then all bets are off.)

Embrace the Binge

So, there you have it. My (slightly unconventional) picks for shows to watch as a couple. Happy viewing! And may your couch cushions remain crumb-free (or at least mostly crumb-free).

Remember to compromise. Discuss your interests. And most importantly, have fun! (Even if you secretly hate each other's taste in TV.)

Now, go forth and conquer your watchlist! Just maybe not too much conquering.
