What to Watch on TV While Social Distancing: Celeb Recommendations

With the coronavirus pandemic at large all over the world, global healthcare officials recommend practicing social distancing. Ultimately, this means staying indoors at all costs (save for essential trips to places like the grocery store or pharmacy). Remember: There is currently no vaccine for COVID-19 and the elderly, immunocompromised and those with preexisting conditions are at much higher risk. With that, it’s time for you to do your civic duty by plopping down on your couch and watching some TV.

Here’s the thing, though, with streaming platforms like Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix and many more, it can be downright impossible to figure out what to watch! Thankfully, some of your favorite celebrities like Hailey Baldwin, Kourtney Kardashian, Ashley Graham and Amy Schumer have come to the rescue.

Before we jump into their movie, TV and YouTube series recommendations, it’s also important to acknowledge the celebrities using their platforms to spread awareness and issue warnings to their fans. Take Taylor Swift, for example. The “Lover” singer, 30, shared a powerful message reiterating the importance of social distancing.

“Guys, I follow you online and I love you guys so much and need to express my concern that things aren’t being taken seriously enough right now,” Taylor began. “I’m seeing lots of get-togethers and hangs and parties still happening. This is the time to cancel plans, actually, truly isolate as much as you can and don’t assume that because you don’t feel sick that you aren’t possibly passing something on to someone elderly or vulnerable to this. It’s a scary time but we need to make social sacrifices right now.”

Emily Ratajkowski

On April 1, the Inamorata founder, 28, revealed that she’s rewatching Pen15 on Hulu. “I watched the entire series when it first came out, but I’ve found it really nice to revisit these past two weeks,” she wrote. “It’s hysterically funny and serves as a reminder of how small our worlds are when we are in tweens and how real the emotions and experiences are at that age. Felt like you were in hell in middle school? You got through that and can even laugh about it now!”
