Fall TV Show & Film Recommendations

As the cooler weather starts to kick in, and the days of spending time outside without rain are

over, a cozy night in with some good entertainment is much needed!

Here are some fall movie and television show recommendations, all available on Netflix, that

you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch.



Enola Holmes

Rating: PG-13

Type: Film

Previous fans of Sherlock Holmes (in any context!), this one is for you. Travel with Enola, sister

of Sherlock, as she searches for her missing mother and rivals her brother in his sleuth

adventures. The piece, focusing on themes of individuality, equality and freedom, earned a

critics review score of 90%. The undertones of this movie are so important for teenagers: the

idea of ‘finding yourself’ that Enola portrays is not only heartwarming for us but relatable to a

degree. Starring Milly Bobby Brown, this mystery adds a new perspective to the beloved

Holmes empire.

The Good Place

Rating: TV-14

Type: Series

With new episodes recently released, you can stay binging for hours! This series follows 4

unlikely “friends,” all of whom have died, as they navigate the ups and downs of the afterlife. It may seem strange at first, but stick with it! If you’re interested shows that are fast-paced,

aesthetically pleasing, odd, intriguing, and full of major, unpredictable plot twists, this series is definitely a must-watch! With the witty banter of a sitcom, the plotline of a drama, tied in with quirky visuals, this series earned a 97% certified critics review score!

Social Distance

Rating: TV-MA

Type: Series

Released only recently, this series follows the narrative that we’ve all been living recently.

Filmed while in isolation, Social Distance is a TV show which highlights how people are striving to stay connected while staying apart due to COVID-19. Due to the fact that there are very few other entertainment outlets on this topic, this show sets a new genre for media to which almost everyone can relate to in some way. There are no critic reviews yet, however, the sentimental, emotional tone of the show will definitely tug on your heartstrings. If you’re into intimate, personal shows that depict truthful, hard events, take a look at season one today!

Our Planet

Rating: TV-PG

Type: Series

Our Planet is an 8-part documentary series, hosted by a prominent figure in many of our

childhoods, David Attenborough, exploring the depths of Earth. Dive into the deep seas, explore jungles, travel through deserts and more all from your own home. The captivating visuals of this series earned a critics review score of 93%. If documentaries are something that you enjoy, you are interested in exploring more of the biological world, or simply want to watch a bunch of animals do cool things for a combined total of 399 minutes, check out Our Planet, available on

Netflix.

Coraline

Rating: PG

Type: Film

While this is not a recent film, as Halloween grows closer, I wanted to include my favourite

‘spooky’ movie. Follow Coraline Jones, a young girl who finds an alternative universe hidden

right in her own home, and both the adventures and dangers to which it leads. Made almost

entirely using claymation, the aesthetics of the film are unique and the details are incredibly

intricate; therefore, it is such an intriguing film to watch. This is a children’s movie, so while it

can be enjoyed by a lot of ages, there are some themes that may be scary for some so keep that in mind! Overall, Coraline has a 90% critics review rating, and my stamp of approval for a great movie (possibly my favourite of all time!), but take my word however you want.

Trailer here!


That’s all for TV and Film for now! Hopefully, there was something listed here that seems

interesting; happy watching!
