Meg Mansell’s binge-watch guide: Three NEON shows I'm obsessed with

You're gonna want to get these on your watchlist ASAP!

It's a surprise to no one that I'm a bit of a homebody. My IDEAL night is my daughter happily asleep in her bed, my husband and I on the couch, low lights, some sort of snack and drink and a good show or movie. You literally can't make it better for me. Here are some of the movies and shows that we have been watching together for indoor date nights.

Wonka

Okay so it took me far too long to watch this, I wasn’t too sure what to expect because I didn’t love the last remake but it PROVED ME WRONG!

It became an INSTANT family favourite in our house. Timothee is a fantastic Wonka and the whole movie oozes cosy charm. 

Sweetpea 

My husband Guy and I have just started watching this, and it's absolutely gripped us from ep one. Great acting and a bit of dark comedy goes a long way.

Small spoiler alert: Even though the main character is a murderer… you end up completely siding with her!

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

I'm a HUGE Hunger Games fan and was apprehensive about this prequel without my beloved Jen, but it was awesome. 

There are so many little easter eggs giving nods to the Hunger Games movies. 

They did this so well casting Tom Blyth as Snow. I loved it so much, I’m probably going to watch it again this weekend - 10/10 would recommend
