Have you heard of that recent virus going around campus? The one where symptoms include Netflix-ing and chilling? Well, if you’ve been hit with this inevitable lazy-bug, here’s a list of 5 underrated treasures that you should already be watching:
1. Happy Endings
A sitcom that tells the story of six friends who get into mischief and mayhem in the heart of the big city. Sounds pretty familiar? This generation’s “Friends” has the same heart and hilarity, but its diverse cast adds that extra spunk to this meta-obsessed comedy.
MRW when you’re the only one in a conversation who hasn’t seen Happy Endings…
2. Harper’s Island
An Agatha Christie whodunit with a hot, young cast and enough blood and gore to keep any twenty-year-old satisfied. Need I say more?
See: “hot, young cast”
3. The Killing
Another whodunit that focuses less on the glam of gore, but more on the gritty and raw reality of political corruption and familial ties. Centered on a duo of investigators who give Mulder and Scully a run for their money, this one is a must-watch dark horse.
Vancouver, is that you?
4. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
If this movie doesn’t leave you dead from laughter, there isn’t much hope for you. A la Cabin in the Woods, this is a horror-comedy that bends all the scary stereotypes in the most gruesome and witty of ways.
“Tra-la-la la-la”
5. Snowpiercer
A film about an apocalypse that forces the rest of humanity to live on a class-divided train, this hidden gem is stylish and stimulating, that includes powerful performances by Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton.
Tilda Swinton agrees!
Not convinced? I’d tell you to get up and leave, but the lazy-bug has probably already numbed your body from any sensation. That’s okay, I’m on the same boat as you (or the same bed) as I type this.
