NJ Blizzard of ’26: Top streaming shows to binge now

It’s a full snow day in New Jersey. Not a coating. Not a slushy mix. One to two feet of actual snow. The cars are buried, the sidewalks are a project, and the only real plan is to shovel in shifts and then stay put.

After checking the latest Blizzard of ’26 updates on New Jersey 101.5 and making sure the driveway is at least passable, it feels like the right time to lean into it. Make coffee. Or hot chocolate. Or something stronger once the plow has finally come through. This is prime binge territory.

What to watch during a New Jersey snowstorm

We’re currently watching Landman on Amazon Prime Video, one of the newer dramas that’s been pulling strong ratings and steady buzz over the past few months. It’s big, confident, and built around power and money in the oil business. The performances are carrying it, and social media has plenty of opinions about every turn.

We just finished His & Hers on Netflix last night. Six episodes. Tight. Twisty. If murder mysteries and whodunits are the assignment, this one works. It’s new, it’s charting well, and people are actively debating that ending online. On a day like this, it’s easy to knock out the whole series before dinner.
