10 shows you definitely must 'Netflix And Chill' !


Hello readers!! As truly written in my blogger profile details, I am an avid Netflix fan. There were months when I spent 800 INR because I could not find people to share with, but when I found like minded people there was no looking back.

I realize I am also a fan of lists so here is another one.10 Netflix shows/movies I recommend you should definitely watch if not yet seen.

1.The Queen's Gambit :The Story of chess prodigy Beth Harmon played by Anya Taylor Joy, and how she overcame her struggles and rose to become the queen in a game dominated by men in that era.(Seasons : 1)

2. Dead To Me : This tragedy cum comedy show marks the return of Christina Applegate , playing the angry yet grieving widow and her grief is marked with hints of sarcasm. Opposite to this is Linda Cardellini playing her sweet and always positive friend. A fun show of their friendship and a murder mystery.(Seasons : 2)

3.13 Reasons Why : A teenager, Hannah Baker, takes her life and leaves behind 13 tapes each pointing to individuals responsible. Heavy content, real life topics, yet emotionally unnerving as the seasons unfold.(Seasons : 4)

4. Ginny And Georgia : Smart and irresistible Georgia Miller, desperately wants to give her rebellious 15 year old daughter Virginia Miller a normal life in New England. But it is not all roses and very soon her past catches up and Georgia will go to any extent to save her family.(Seasons : 1)

5. Bridgerton : A superb period drama from the talented Shonda Rhimes ( producer of Grey's Anatomy and How To Get Away With Murder).Romance, drama, scandal all come together to make this a one of a kind show.(Seasons : 1)

6.Black Mirror : A sci-fi anthology series showing the dark side of modern day technologies and how our obsession with it is warping our sense of right and wrong. A thought provoking series with lingering after effects on what is the future turning out to be.(Seasons : 5)

7. Enola Holmes : A story on the teenage sister of Sherlock Holmes and her adventures on her mission to find her mother. Millie Bobby Brown is a delight o watch as she plays Enola Holmes whose sleuthing skills are almost at par with that of her brother Sherlock. Personally, I can never see anyone else as Sherlock but Benedict Cumberbatch , and the casting of Henry Cavill seemed quite different than what Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be. The star of course here is Millie.(Seasons : 0 , It is a movie)

8.The Irregulars : Again related to Sherlock Holmes, this is a British crime drama series on a group of teenagers known as The Irregulars who work or rather are manipulated to work for John Watson. The group lives together on the streets of London and encounter some supernatural occurrences on their search for Sherlock Holmes ultimately realize that all the happenings are related to him.(Seasons : 1)

9.Atypical : An amazing and refreshingly woven comedy drama on Sam Gardner, an autistic teen and his search for love, friendship and independence. It also brings forth the lives of each of his family member and how they grapple with all the changes in their lives along with Sam's. A feel good  family show  and quite different from the ones I normally watch.(Seasons : 3)

10.Pagglait : A hindi social drama movie, on the life of a recently widowed Sandhya and her discoveries on her late husband , Astik. Breaking down patriarchy, she turns this tragedy into an empowering beginning for her. Highlight of this movie is the music composed by Arijit Singh.(Seasons : 0 , It is a movie)

That's all folks!! My list may differ from yours so would love to know your choices and suggestions. The more to watch the better.
