Once upon a time, your Netflix "watch later" list might've been a cute five-or-so shows long. The amount of content coming out of the service has since ballooned to unimaginable levels. A copious number of new series are added every month, each packed with multiple 40-minute episodes. RIP, our free time.
Cancel Your Weekend Plans: Netflix Shows Are Cool Again
Netflix is adding some great original content tonight, including the highly anticipated second season of Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. There's also the star-studded drama Unicorn Store, the historical epic Roman Empire: Caligula and a spiritual successor to David Attenborough's Planet Earth series; Our Planet. (And that's just the cream of the crop!)
With that in mind, here are a few great Netflix shows that probably fell under your radar. As the adage goes, choose quality over quantity!
Love, Death & Robots
The show's title already encapsulates everything you could ever want or need in a show but in case it's not enough, Love, Death & Robots offers more. An anthology series based on the title's words, the show certainly drives home the punk aspect of 'cyberpunk'. It's loud, it's brazen and it's only going to take around three hours to finish the whole thing... if you can.
Derry Girls
If what you've really been missing in your recently watched catalogue is a hilarious coming-of-age tale tinged with strong Northern Irish accents, Derry Girls is your fix. It focuses on the lives of teenagers as they grow up in one of the most tumultuous moments of in Irish and British history. (Technically, this one came out in 2018 but it's second season was released this year and it's just as shrewd and unfiltered.)
Street Food
Who doesn't love a good heartwarming story about street food? Luckily, there's a whole series about it on Netflix, aptly titled Street Food. You'll get to see the most delicious, successful street food outlets in Japan's Osaka, Philippines' Cebu as well as Taiwan's Chiayi City. Pro Tip: It's excruciating to watch on an empty stomach so make sure you've been adequately fed.
Losers
Bonding
Following the life of a woman who moonlights as a dominatrix and her ex-boyfriend, now an out gay man, who assists and bodyguards her, Bonding is the dark sex comedy you never knew you needed. It also features The Good Place's D'Arcy Carden, which is always a good sign.
