10 Franchises To Binge Watch While You're Home (And Their Viewing Orders)

5. The Hobbit And Lord Of The Rings Series

Arguably the greatest fantasy world ever created, Tolkien’s epic offers the kind of escapism all of us could use right about now. A world where there is a sure-shot way to overcome the great evil and save the day.

Combining both the original and Hobbit trilogies will offer you a fantasy marathon unlike any other. And by the end of it, you will have lived every bit of the journey of Bilbo and Frodo, as one becomes the first bearer of the Ring, and the other finally finishes the task by destroying it.

In between you will of course get the epic battles of the Five Armies, Helms Deep, Pelennor Fields and the Black Gate, complete with the bone chilling speeches that can rally your spirits under any circumstance.

Viewing Order:

I) The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

II) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

III) The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

IV) The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

V) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

VI) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
