Surviving Chicago’s Polar Vortex: What to Watch While Staying Indoors

As the weather gets colder and the snow starts to fall, it’s the perfect time to cozy up on the couch and binge-watch some great shows. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Chicago, so it’s definitely a good idea to stay indoors and stay warm.

If you’re looking for some recommendations on what to watch during the chilly weather, look no further! Here are a few shows that I’ll be checking out to help me survive this Chicago polar vortex.

First up, there’s the Netflix series “Survival of the Thickest,” starring the hilarious Michelle Buteau. Based on Buteau’s book of essays with the same title, this show offers a comedic and detailed look at her life, which is sure to keep you entertained.

Next, if you’re into historical dramas with a modern twist, check out Prime Video’s “My Lady Jane.” This show takes a fresh look at the story of Lady Jane Grey, adding a contemporary spin that fans of shows like “Dickinson” and “The Great” will appreciate.

For something a bit more heartwarming, consider watching “Miss Juneteenth.” This film follows the story of Turquoise Jones, a former beauty queen navigating life in Texas, and is a touching exploration of family, identity, and tradition.

And if you’re in the mood for some laughs, don’t miss “Somebody Somewhere.” This comedy-drama follows the journey of Sam, a woman finding her place in her hometown and is filled with touching moments and plenty of humor.

Lastly, if you’re a Beyoncé fan like me, why not revisit the iconic Beyoncé Bowl performance for some musical inspiration and warmth for the soul?

With these great shows to keep you company, you’ll have no trouble staying entertained and cozy during the cold days of the Chicago polar vortex. Happy watching!
