Here’s what you can watch on streaming platforms today.
The coronavirus pandemic does not seem to show any signs of tapering down anytime soon. In fact, in India the cases are piling up dead in the summer when it was supposed to diminish away to nothing.
We, then, once again turn to TV shows and movies that, at least for a while, allow us to take our minds away from all the unpleasantness.
Though, the theatres are closed and it does not seem like they will open in near future (several months, to be precise), streaming services are releasing content that they had produced before the outbreak. Thus far, there is no shortage of entertainment, at least of the indoor kind.
