The News recommends 17 shows to stream during lockdown

So it is likely that we are all starting to run out of things to watch on the various streaming platforms now available.

If you are stuck for ideas, here are a few shows that we here at The News are recommending that you add to your lists!

Too Hot Too Handle - netflix dating show but actually quite deep and you will cry. Also Portsmouth gal is on it.

Also the second series of Dead to Me is coming to netflix in May - dark comedy about two women who have killed each other's husbands by accident / on purpose and is very funny.

Both can be found on Netflix .

If you are looking for an engrossing mystery that you’ll want to gobble up in one sitting then why not try the new mini-series Devs on iPlayer.

It follows a young woman investigating the disappearance of her boyfriend who works for a mysterious tech company in the US. It has eight episodes.

If you are looking for something more funny - Netflix has just added all six series of Community. It is one of the funniest and most inventive sitcoms in recent years.

While for those looking for the ‘next Game of Thrones’ it is worth watching Kingdom, also on Netflix, it has zombies, political intrigue and incredible action.

Also Avatar: The Last Airbender is easily one of the great shows of all time and all three seasons are on Netflix right now - so perfect excuse to watch it (or re-watch it).

While stuck at home I'd recommend watching The Mandalorian; excusing the fact that I'm a huge Star Wars nerd, it's a fairly easy show to follow, highly entertaining and worth finding out what all the Baby Yoda hype is about.

The Mandalorian is exclusive to Disney+.

Ozark - three seasons - Netflix

Released in 2017, this nail-biting Netflix Original follows the highs (and gruesome lows) of a Chicago family whose lives are turned inside-out when they're coaxed into a money laundering agreement with a Mexican cartel.

At first the risk seems low, but a drug war edges closer and closer to their own doorstep as they battle to find bigger and better ways to clean cash, all while henchmen are breathing down their necks.

Series one can be slow, but series two gets better and, the newly-released series three, cements Ozark's position as one of the best Netflix Originals ever.

Sunderland 'Til I Die - two seasons - Netflix

Die-hard Pompey fans will know all too well the sinking feeling that comes when your beloved club looks to be spiralling into ruin.

Thankfully that era is over for football fans in Portsmouth, but at League One competitors Sunderland things look far from well as this documentary bares the ins and outs of the club's finances and footballing failures.

This show's two series will change laymen's perceptions about how a football club is run and, if you watch the whole thing, it'll bring back some great memories for Pompey fans who made that fateful trip to Wembley last March.

Something which got fully ignored by most people was Living With Yourself on Netflix. It stars the love of my life Paul Rudd and his 'perfect' clone... Bit of a dark comedy and easy to binge in an evening or two.

Also, we've been watching Race Across the World on BBC iPlayer - the people on it will drive you mad but it's an interesting concept and the second series (which finishes this Sunday!) sees five pairs of people travelling from the top of South America to the bottom for less than the airfare and the amazing views are helping me get over the fact I'm not going on holiday.

I'd highly suggest binging the first two seasons of Killing Eve on iPlayer before catching up with the new episodes of the new season. It's the best programme ever and Jodie Comer is FIT.

Also The Good Place on Netflix for more of a light-hearted easy watch.

Fionna Callingham, Local Democracy Reporter

I'm watching a Netflix original called Love, which is an easy to watch comedy about a couple navigating the early stages of a relationship while one of them is a recovering alcoholic and sex addict.

Lots of quirky characters and some properly heartfelt moments. Created by Judd Apatow who also produced films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Superbad, Knocked Up, Anchorman and Bridesmaids so it's along that vein of humour.

Also RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 which is now about halfway through - a new episode every week, but there's also the back catalogue of the previous 11 seasons on Netflix plus the UK series on BBC iPlayer.

Also Peep Show for the millionth time.
