• Tech billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates wrote a blog post of recommendations for what to read and watch during summer 2020.

• His TV and film picks include a Netflix documentary series about fighting pandemics, acclaimed drama series "This is Us" and "Ozark," and a 2001 spy thriller.

Microsoft founder and world's second-richest person Bill Gates has been turning to TV and film to get away from the coronavirus pandemic.

In his blog post Gates outlined his summer 2020 book recommendations and threw in six TV shows and a film for good measure.
