Mad Max

The last thing I ordered before going into social-isolation mode was the complete collection of the “Mad Max” films on Blu-ray. I didn’t consciously purchase this as a reflection of the current state of the world. Honest. It was just a really good deal.

That being said, if you’re looking for a series to binge during self quarantining, “Mad Max” is an excellent option.
