If the current pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that OTT platforms are deserving of praise for providing excellent entertainment that has kept people diverted from the harsh realities of life. While there’s nothing wrong with binge-watching a whole season of Sense8, the majority of folks noticed their reading habits were suffering. We’ve compiled a collection of films and series based on books that you can watch to ease you back into the literary world with moving pictures.
1. Bridgerton
Bridgerton is the next blockbuster from Shondaland’s masterful world. The events of this series are based on Julia Quinn’s novels and take place in 19th-century Britain, but in an alternative reality where people of color are accepted into society and wield several aristocratic titles. This is an all-encompassing drama that you should not miss.
