Netflix; light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul, my lockdown lifeline.

Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, we’re all spending a lot more time at home (read: all of our time at home), which means that we’re burning through our Netflix watchlists like nobody’s business. Whether it’s must-watch TV dramas like Unorthodox, true crime documentaries like Tiger King, or horror films like The Platform, there’s something on there for everyone – which is why it’s so interesting that one of the most-viewed films on Netflix UK right now is a retro classic from 1988.

I’m talking, of course, about Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice. And it’s easy to see why it’s captured our imaginations all over again, isn’t it? After all, it’s one of the streaming platform’s most relatable watches.

Don’t believe me? Allow me to explain.
