We all have those TV shows and movies that we never get tired of. Whether it’s a '90s sitcom or a cult classic blockbuster that’s found its way into your rotation, the cooler weather is making us want to rug up on the couch and turn on those comfort watches.
Luckily our mates at Telstra love their guilty pleasure shows and movies just the same and have a one-stop-shop for entertainment with Fetch. Curating your available streaming services, channels, movies and shows into one home display through the universal tab, you can swap, skip and jump to your next episode of Gilmore Girls or the current instalment of The Real Housewives with ease.
Here, our crew share their guilty pleasures—the shows they'll be binging from the couch this winter.
“Bob’s Burgers is such an easy watch. It has great characters, funny one-liners and every so often they surprise you with one of those episodes that makes you realise everything is okay in the world.”
—Dan, Commercial Director
The adult animated series Bob's Burgers has spanned over 13 seasons for a reason. Following the close-knit Belcher family and their restaurant, expect belly laughs, gasps and the occasional tear or two from this eleven-time Emmy-nominated show. Catch all 14 seasons on your Disney+ account with Fetch through Telstra. Don't worry about losing your place, as the 'My Stuff’ tab allows you to pick up right where you left off. Hot tip: we recommend having the tissues close by for season 13, episode 10.
“Ru Paul's Drag Race is 100% my favourite show to binge. There are so many seasons on Stan you could spend weeks watching them all."
—Emma, Commercial Content Editor
Racers start your engines, this drag queen competition and reality series on Stan hold icon status for a reason. First airing in 2009, the show hosted by Ru Paul Charles has created some of the most famous drag queens to date. With too many Emmy and Golden Globe wins and nominations to count, this all-singing, all-dancing reality show has continued to go from strength to strength.
Luckily for us, when signing up for Fetch with Telstra from 4 June to 1 July, you can enjoy 20% off Fetch Mini and Mighty. With access to your favourite subscription services, free-to-air TV and a voice-activated remote means you’ll be hosting Ru Paul's Drag Race nights with ease. Get it in time for the latest season of All-Stars. IYKYK.
“Somebody Feed Phil is my go-to sick day or cosy afternoon watch. Every episode takes me to some magical distant place (and more importantly to stunning delicious foods).”
—Renee, Lifestyle Editor
There’s nothing more comforting than cosying up on the couch to watch other people explore and cook food around the world, and Phil Rosenthal agrees. Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix follows Rosenthal on a feel-good journey with friends as he dishes up different meals that explore the local culture on a plate.
After you’ve finished salivating through every episode of Somebody Feed Phil on your Netflix account, Fetch can recommend similar shows and movies through the movies and shows tab, so you can keep the wanderlust and stomach grumbles coming.
“Any time I need a pick-me-up, I put on Gilmore Girls. It’s so heart-warming plus, such an easy show to have in the background.”
—Bella, Junior Commercial Content Producer
Following a uniquely close-knit mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory Gilmore in a small town with a lot of charm, Gilmore Girls one Netflix is stuffed with all the elements of a feel-good show. Spanning seven seasons and a reboot, the show has garnered a cult following for the mother-daughter duo for a reason.
Unsure which of your platforms to search it on? With Fetch’s universal search function, you can type or speak what you're looking for and find it across selected subscriptions in one place.
“Friends is my all time favourite show. It's nostalgic, hilarious and comforting at the same time!” —Bon, QLD Account Manager
It really needs no explanation: the cult-favourite TV show has been a guilty pleasure since its late-nineties release. If phrases like “pivot” and the lyrics to Smelly Cat ring through your brain as they do ours, you can catch every episode of Friends on your Netflix account this winter.
Now all that’s left is to decide if they were really on a break.
Don’t fear the remote—watch what you want, when you want it with Fetch. Find more information on how to nab Fetch deals through Telstra here.
