Down To Earth With Zac Efron (Netflix)
During a time when none of us are able to travel, Zac
Efron has generously offered to take up the task.
The result is his very chill travel show, Down to Earth
with Zac Efron, in which the High School
Musical actor shares his passion for exploring
the environment. Efron and his travel buddy, wellness
expert Darin Olien, journey across the
globe, seeking out different sustainability techniques
from Iceland to Puerto Rico. Efron can be a little too
bro-ey sometimes, but it’s always a charming,
informative ride, wherever he takes us.

The Umbrella Academy (Netflix)
On one day in 1989, 43 infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected
women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by
billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves, who creates the Umbrella
Academy and prepares his "children" to save the world. In their teenage years,
though, the family fractures and the team disbands. Fast forward to the present
time, when the six surviving members of the clan reunite upon the news of
Hargreeves' passing. They work together to solve a mystery surrounding their
father's death, but divergent personalities and abilities again pull the
estranged family apart, and a global apocalypse is another imminent threat. The
series is based on a collection of comics and graphic novels created and written
by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way.
