2. Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan

John Krasinski makes his television comeback as Jack Ryan, a CIA analyst. After many questionable bank transfers, Jack Ryan leaves his desk only to end up fighting terrorist all throughout Europe and the Middle East. Instead of watching your partner play fortnite, watch Jack Ryan together.

3. The Big Sick

As the highest grossing independent film of 2017, the Big Sick is one rom-com you can’t miss. Following the romance between Pakistani comedian, Kumail, and Emily, a frequent attendee at the comedy house, we watch this new couple overcome many obstacles. This movie is perfect for a date night, or when you want to laugh your head off.

Directed by the legendary Spike Lee, CHI-RAQ is a modern day twist on the Greek comedy “Lysistrata.” The women of Chicago threaten to go on a sex strike after a young girl is killed by gang violence. Starring Nick Cannon, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Basset, and so many more African-American actors. This movie exceeds all expectations.

5. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel takes place in New York during the late 1950s. Beating all odds, this upper East Side housewife becomes a stand up comedian. Emmy nominated, Mrs. Maisel is perfect for feminists, Gossip Girl fans and anyone who likes being surprised. This is one of the best Amazon Prime originals.
