Medical Police
This is a Netflix original series. To be honest, it is quite stupid, but it might also bring a lot of laughter to those watching.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

I Am Legend
This is not a favorite movie of mine, but if you like Will Smith, then I Am Legend might turn into a real treat no matter what. He is playing the role of a scientist who is able to withstand a deadly virus that turns humankind into bloodthirsty mutants. But, even though he cannot be infected by the virus, he is still in danger of all the bloodthirsty mutants lurking around in his neighborhood. But, can he find a cure that will help people turn back into normal? Or will the bloodthirsty and virus-infected people get a hold of him first?

But, there is one person who was bitten by zombies that did survive, and he is the key to getting things back to normal. Now they have to bring him back to a laboratory in which they can extract and use his blood as a vaccine. But, that is much easier said than done.
You can watch Z Nation on Netflix everywhere. There are currently four seasons of the show available.
Why watch Z Nation during the coronavirus?
Because it has to do with a deadly virus and because people have to fight and be brave. Not my personal favorite, but still, it deserves a place on this list.
Rampage
Are you ready for some crazy action with Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson? Rampage is a movie based on the old classic game in which animals destroy buildings and more. Dwayne Johnson works with animals, but once an experiment in space goes wrong and a virus sort of thing lands among animals in the zoo where Dwayne Johnson works, those animals turn into giants. This is actually a quite amusing movie with fighting, action, big animals, excitement, and everything you need for a great evening in front of the TV. If you don’t like Dwayne Johnson, you might not fall in love with this movie either
You can watch Rampage on Netflix in Canada, in Germany, in India, in the Netherlands, in Switzerland, in Portugal, in Hungary, and in some more countries. Need help getting access to one or more of these regions? Follow the instructions here.
Why watch Rampage during the coronavirus?
Because it is action, it is fun, it is overwhelming, and it is not at all a serious movie, something that might feel good in these days.
Maze Runner
There are a total of three Maze Runner movies. The first one is amazing, the second is a disaster, and the third is somewhere in the middle. The first is fantastic, simply because it is great. The second destroys everything. Do you know why? Because that is when the zombies start to show up, and it just feels stupid. But still, this is a great series of three movies that will give you six hours in front of the screen. Even though the second movie isn’t exactly great, I would still say it is worth the time. Maze Runner was a big success worldwide, and it tells the story of a group of people who find themselves in a maze trying to get out (the first movie).
Above you can see the three different movies. The first two movies can easily be streamed on Netflix in Germany, and the last movie can only be streamed on Netflix in Canada.

Maybe you have lost your job, lost income, or something else? Is there still hope? If you feel at home in this description, you should sit down and watch the movie Overcomer on Netflix.

Contagion
This is the second-best option for those who want to look at something that reminds us of a coronavirus movie. It stars Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Laurance Fishbourne, Gwyneth Paltrow, and many other stars. In the movie, people are infected through touching objects and each other’s skin and hair, and it is very deadly. Matt Damon plays the role of a person who is immune to the virus which originally comes from a mixture of pigs and bats, but they are in a big hurry to find a vaccine, as it spreads rapidly.
Contagion is currently available on Netflix in Canada, Japan, and Israel. The movie lasts for about 100 minutes.
Why watch Contagion on Netflix during the coronavirus?
