Docuseries
Tiger King
If you haven’t already watched one of the most notorious quarantine docu series debuts, you MUST watch Tiger King. This docu series takes a look into the world of big cat breeding and the unbelievable characters that play a role in a number of wild and bizarre situations. In the series, Joe Exotic is the self-proclaimed Tiger King. The most eccentric of them all, Joe juggles his life with two husbands and an ongoing feud with Carole Baskin, a big cat enthusiast whom he accused of murdering her wealthy husband. Drama mama. You cannot make this stuff up, it’s truly addicting to watch from start to finish and pretty much essential that you’re high.

Comedies
New Girl
If you’re a fan of Friends, you’ll definitely love New Girl. Zooey Deschanel plays Jess, a middle-school teacher from Portland who moves to Los Angeles. When she finds out her boyfriend cheated on her, she moves into an apartment with three men. With Jake Johnson as a nutty bartender, Max Greenfield as the highly confident businessman, and Lamorne Morris as a former professional athlete that is trying to find his calling in life, it’s hard not to become invested in the characters. Chaos ensues (in the funniest way imaginable) and although you can enjoy this sober, a high state of mind will give you a case of the giggles for 10 minutes straight. Enjoy all seven seasons available on Netflix!
Chewing Gum
A popular British comedy about Tracey (Michaela Coel), raised in a strict religious household and a 24-year-old virgin, spends most of her time figuring out how to have sex. The series navigates her extremely awkward encounters that will make you take a puff of your joint and light one up for Tracey because the girl needs it. What makes this show extra great is that this is a semi-autobiographical series about Coel’s own life and will probably be easy to relate to.. She makes sex so funny and takes the seriousness out of it, highlighting how ridiculous sexual encounters can be.
Parks and Recreation
An OG that can be watched over and over again. Parks and Recreation is the ultimate go-to if you’re looking for one of the best funny shows to watch high especially with many star actors like Amy Poehler as Lesli Knope, Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson, Chris Pratt as Andy Dwyer, and Rashida Jones as Ann Perkins. This show is a political satire sitcom that will have you rolling on the ground laughing for all seven seasons. Famous quotes like “treat yo self” or basically all of April Ludgate’s quotes are totally relatable and Instagram caption worthy.
Spanish Shows
Money Heist (La casa de papel)
Even if you are not a bilingual stoner, anyone will enjoy the rush of Money Heist, also known as La casa de papel. Based in Spain, the series covers two long and well-prepared heists on the Royal Mint of Spain and the Bank of Spain. A team of expert criminals is led by Alvaro Morte, aka the Professor, where the storyline spins out of control. The show does an amazing job of incorporating strong emotional characters and you can’t help but have a few favorites. You can watch the four-part series with an English voice-over, or if you’re feeling in the zone after a nice bong hit, try the original in Spanish with English subtitles!
Locked Up (Vis a Vis)
Orange Is The New Black has nothing on the Spanish version, Locked Up. The show starts out with Macarena Ferreiro (Maggie Civantos) who is being admitted to prison when she falls in love with her manipulative boss and ends up being framed for crimes he set her up for. Cruz del Sur is a prison full of strong, independent female characters that will not hesitate to take a life if it means saving their own. Macarena stirs up a ton of drama by just being herself and juggles her beautiful inmate girlfriend and handsome prison guard boyfriend while gaining an enemy out of Zulema, an absolute force to be reckoned with. Throughout the series, Zulema and the girls attempt to escape. The dynamics of a Spanish prison are absolutely fascinating to watch in this show and you’ll be hooked instantly. You’ll also notice a few familiar faces from Money Heist, so we absolutely suggest you toke up and watch both!
Elite
Categorized as a thrilling teen drama, this is anything but any ordinary teenage series. Las Encinas is an elite high school and the show navigates the troublesome intertwined relationships between the working-class students and the wealthy classmates. When a wealthy girl dies from a head injury, you’ll see that murder isn’t the only secret that’s being kept in this school. This show covers it all, from same-sex relationships, threesomes, pregnancy and abortion, drugs, extortion, you name it.
