The Farewell (2019)

So. You’ve been quarantined. For many of us in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, we find ourselves locked in our houses, with not much to do. We can’t report to our jobs, or our jobs are being done remotely, or our ability to work is vastly restricted. And with all of this free time we have on our hands now, this is the perfect time to catch up on all of those movies we’ve been continuously putting off for a “rainy day.” Well folks, it’s pouring outside, so let’s watch some movies!

These picks are all based on my own subjective opinion, but I’ve compiled a list of different films of different genres across Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, and Hulu that I think everyone should watch. If you’ve already seen them, watch them again! These are the movies that, in my opinion, can’t steer you wrong.

With so many binge-worthy TV shows floating around and new ones constantly being released, I have compiled a list of some more recent TV shows that rank high on the diversity scale for both the cast and crew. This list contains mild spoilers and is in no particular ranking order.

Without further delay, here are 10 TV shows with diversity to watch in 2021.

Awkwafina is Nora From Queens is a TV show that is not only diverse in the cast, but also in the crew. With a writing crew consisting of mostly women, Awkwafina is Nora From Queens is a charming American comedy television series that was released in January of 2020. The TV show stars Nora Lum, known professionally as Awkwafina, who is best known for her role in the 2019 film The Farewell, which earned Awkwafina a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, as well as her voice acting in Disney’s 2021 animated film Raya and the Last Dragon.

Awkwafina is Nora From Queens follows Nora Lum, a young woman who is raised by her father (BD Wong) and grandmother (Lori Tan Chinn), alongside her cousin (Bowen Yang). The comedy series depicts Nora Lum as a woman in her 20's navigating her way through young adulthood in Flushing, New York - with humor, awkwardness, and heart throughout.

I’ve compiled a list of movies (dramas, musicals, comedies, documentaries, etc…) that take place around the world so that you can safely “travel” from home. They are set in different countries and show off the country’s natural landscapes, culture, or picturesque cities. If you think of any other ones, please let me know! I’ve categorized them by continent to make it easier.
