The kids can't go to school, partners can't go to work and it feels like we're living in a disaster movie! The Coronavirus has countries in total lockdown, and the only thing not in short supply is the number of movies and series to watch on Netflix.
However, you're still going to need plenty of recommendations to get through the coming weeks of self-isolation. On this page we take a look at the top 20 family friendly movies and series to watch on Netflix. These titles should be suitable for the whole family to watch together. Grab the popcorn (if you have any) and find a great movie or series you can all watch together.
You can read more about a movie or series by clicking on the links below. My personal favourite series for family viewing on Netflix is LOST IN SPACE. It's the brilliant reboot of the classic 60s Sci-Fi show, it appeals to all age ranges from 12 upwards.
