Netflix Quarantine-tips!

To start with a real Viking recommendation, you can’t miss the series Vikings! Vikings is the successful series of History Channel, about the conquests of Ragnar Lothbrok. The series was so successful that it was brought to Netflix and you can watch all six(!) seasons here, so you can definitely entertain yourself for some time.

It goes without saying that the series take place in the time of the Vikings. The story is about the simple Viking, Ragnar. He leads a number of risky raids in Great Britain, causing him to slowly rise in the respect of the combative Vikings. Ragnar eventually becomes the leader of a great Viking empire, but his sons also plan to establish their names. Entirely in Viking tradition this happens with a lot of bloodshed, conquests, exciting battles and you also can’t miss out on a bit of Viking humor.

This is one for the list 'Viking, don't do this at home'. When Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson climbed California's Dawn Wall, the news almost went viral on the Internet. The film, The Dawn Wall, tells this story. It was the climb of the decade that held a global audience in its grip for almost three weeks when two climbers made their way up the world’s toughest wall climb. Through moving interviews, Redbull's documentary explores the inspiration of Caldwell that led to the seven-year project. A depression forms this dark motivation that eventually leads to the greatest achievement of his life.

This is not just a documentary for the 'real climbers'. The Dawn Wall includes interviews with Caldwell's parents, Jorgeson's mother, friends of the climbers and John Branch of the New York Times to provide an external perspective on this phenomenal climb.

Ragnarok is a Norwegian fantasy drama by Netflix that premiered on January 31, 2020. The series takes place in the fictional Norwegian town of Edda in western Norway. The city is plagued by climate change and industrial pollution caused by the factories of the local Jutul family, Norway's fifth richest family.

The Jutuls are actually four Jötunn, pretending to be a family. In Norse mythology Jötun are humanlike or beastly entities of unimaginable size and they are gifted with divine power and strenght. The giants are often in a fight with the gods. They are challenged by Magne, a teenage boy who is surprised to learn that he is the embodiment of Thor. Het starts a battle against those who destroy the planet.

This documentary shows that it is not always fun and games in the event industry. The young and charismatic Billy McFarland plans an over-the-top luxury music festival on a beautiful exotic beach on the Bahamas. His goals is to generate more publicity for the entertainment app he developed together with his business partner, rapper Ja Rule. To promote the spectacular event, Mc Farland enlisted the help of international models and social media influencers to generate buzz and an air of exclusivity around the festival. Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and others posted photos and videos of themselves on the beautiful beach on the private island owned by the drug lord, Pablo Escobar.

The Fyre Festival offered the best destination for rich, hip, young Millennials. With the desire to join this elite, thousands of people bought expensive tickets for the festival. The promotional material suggested that there would be top musical acts, private villas, alcoholic beverages and generous meals. McFarland's great imagination and overpromise, along with his awful management style, hiring inexperienced, naive and gullible staff, turned the festival into a complete disaster. A disaster mainly due to the alleged lies and incompetence of McFarland.

After watching this documentary, at least you know how an event should not be organized!

Now there are nearly eight billion people in the world, as expert Dr. Dennis Carroll, director of USAID's Emerging Threats Unit, warns in Pandemic: "When we talk about a new flu pandemic, it's not a question of if, but when". In addition to the loss of life, the virus has caused widespread disruption to financial markets, workplaces, flight patterns and food production - effects predicted and investigated in a pandemic with great flair, detail and drama.
