Death Games
My all time #1 fave show!!! So enticing, watched all of S2 in one day haha! The characters, plot, graphics, everything are all soo amazing. S3 coming out soon! This is a Japanese show and Kento Yamazaki has a wide range of roles!
Watch Alice in Borderland
This show… is so strange. I loved it, it had a great plot, was extremely unique, and characters were all so developed and different from each other. The set was also very cool. It’s just a very odd show, it seems like it should be frightening or inte...
Watch The 8 Show
One of my fave shows. Imo S2 kind of fell off, but hopefully S3 will get back on track! It’s interesting to learn about popular Korean celebs too since many were in S2.
Watch Squid Game
Interesting Concept
This is a Thai show I watched a couple years ago, not sure if more seasons are coming out. Interesting concept, the main character, Nanno, represents the devil and delivers karma to people by posing as different individuals.
Watch Girl from Nowhere
This one didn’t have my attention as much for sure, but was still a good watch. Sometimes a bit hard to follow along, but liked the characters. Zombie show!
Watch All of Us Are Dead
Very popular American show, featuring a very skilled cast. The concept is a bit hard to follow with all the creatures and lore, but it’s very plot heavy which makes it compelling. Very creative, and has manyyy seasons so it’s good for a long watch!
Watch The Umbrella Academy
Several seasons of money robbing action. Violence, but not super gore heavy, more of a focus on struggles and yes, there are injury scenes though. This series is so popular that they made versions from several other countries!
Watch Money Heist
This series was groundbreaking with its one shot per episode film style. No cuts, no scene changes, all a single, fluid take. Like live theatre, but on netflix! such a cool concept to see in play. Not to mention, the main actor is only 13 or so, so h...
Watch Adolescence
Classics
One of the most classic netflix series for sure! Long running, action heavy, and sentimental all at once. Tells the story of the Gallaghers, a troubled family with imperfect ethics, but good hearts.
Shameless (TV Series 2011–2021)
I mean come on, this is THE staple. I think this is the most popular series on the whole streaming platform, probably brought in the most money, too! Plot is very fantasy-heavy, in the sense that monsters and creatures take over lives. Lovable charac...
Watch Stranger Things
Very interesting, because each episode is a different story. The entire show plays different futuristic and messed up concepts, making it thought provoking and honestly, upsetting. Makes you consider what negatives technological advancements have in ...
Watch Black Mirror
Long running series with several characters, some who return and some who don’t. the plot is very content heavy, so sometimes it’s hard to keep up, but there’s never a dull moment. I think of this as the spanish version of euphoria, with the “high sc...
Elite (TV Series 2018–2024)
