Netflix, with its expansive library and time-consuming tendencies, is truly a blessing and a curse — which is to say, a little binge-watching every once in a while isn’t necessarily a bad thing. While you’re practicing social distancing, you may want to delve into some of these Netflix selections, in moderation, of course.

To start off, there are the comedies everyone tells you to watch but you never quite got around to watching:

• “Parks and Recreation”
• “The Office”

And some guilty-pleasure reality television:
