Lupin managed to ignore being a miss and turned out to be a very supportive show. What worked was the entire to the point, simple and effective storyline, which manages to encapsulate Paris in a rather beautiful manner. The heist sequence is remarkably shot inside the Louvre and looks convincing to a certain extent. Omar Sy, comes off as this 'gentle giant' and displays subtle and emotional shades of his character Assane Diop and showcases all his vulnerabilities and insecurities very well, in this French series.

Bridgerton

Bridgerton is a popular Netflix series that focuses on the Bridgerton family. One of the daughters, Daphne, is of age to find a husband and ends up 'pretending' to fall in love with one of England's most eligible bachelors, just so everyone will get off her back. However, as the story moves forward things go out of hand. Currently, the most-watched show on Netflix rides high on Regency romance, friendship, and passion! The series is absolutely enchanting. Gorgeous visuals and music, beautifully dreamy scenes, and strong acting.

In just 8 episodes, it drives you in and explores honor, hardship, indignity, romance, unrequited love, false love, scandal, parent problems, marriage, loyalty security, women, expectation, upbringing, status, family, tradition, suspense, trust, drama, loss, sacrifice, loyalty, parenting, heartbreak, and above all, true love. It takes you away from the present ongoings without being too unrealistic and that’s an art in itself. The quote “Just because something is not perfect, does not make it any less worthy of love.” by Daphne Bridgerton is the central theme of the show.

The Queen's Gambit

The Queen’s Gambit, revolves around an inspirational chess champion played by Anya Taylor-Joy, (who wants to watch hour-long episodes about chess?) yet the series is highly captivating. The very well-paced show, with its perfect runtime, is neither too long nor too short, while not being too little or a little too detailed. This show, while concise, is both compelling in its theme and is at the same time a directional masterpiece. Truly an exemplary series showcasing one of the oldest and most intellectual games in our history.

It managed the concepts of chess that could be considered too theoretical for theatrics, with its highly refined scriptwriting and directional melodrama, giving it both a technical and an emotional edge which Anya Taylor has consistently held herself up to and delivered. To sum it up, it is something one must try to realize how great it is. And it very much is, to say the least!

Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai is the sequel series to The Karate Kid. Cobra Kai is based over three decades after the events of the original movie and focuses on Daniel’s one-time karate competitor Johnny Lawrence reform his ways and re-open the Cobra Kai dojo.

The plot continues to be refreshing and entertaining with this time change in season 2. It portrays important themes that are quite relevant to today's current events as viewers are reminded that the diverse cast we love so much, face very different life situations in the '60s based on their differences such as sexual orientation or race, touching on the discrimination faced by these communities even today.

The writing is so refreshing, graphics are visually stunning with great production design, cinematography, and direction. The screenplay along with the editing could have been a bit tighter and crisp. Performance from all the actors is phenomenal & noteworthy. This show is a must-see if you want the dark side of comics.

Narcos

Narcos stars two DEA agents, Murphy and Pena, trying at nothing in the war against drugs. But they’ve met their match. Colombia is a country with dangerous people around every corner and it only gets worse from there. It is based on real personalities and events and that makes it more interesting. Generally, real-life stories become flat and shallow at some points but in Narcos, every single character is really interesting and well-shaped.

The show makes a point to show the consequences of that choice, an example being when the president choices to not negotiate with the narcos they soon seek reparations via kidnappings.

The show also features some brilliant performances. The cinematography is also consistently good using strong establishing drone shots over the slums of Bogata and using action shots that follow the charters through the conflicts.

Dark

How can you make so many connections and then start connecting them from multiple timelines and that too randomly, that's pure genius? Highly recommend to each and every individual out there to watch this show, you will blow your own mind. Dark is different from any other Time-travel movie or series it takes time as an element that nothing has used before it.

If you manage to understand the family trees in the show and get a basic knowledge of the Predestination and Bootstrap paradox, you won’t have a hard time understanding the show.

The show is completely outstanding and one of the best web series streaming on Netflix . All three seasons, from start to end, will never fail to make you thrilled.

Better Call Saul is one of the most clever shows. The performances, cinematography, the story, the writing, it's amazing. The acting is fantastic, with very powerful scenes already in the first two episodes, and the tone is dark, but often quite humorous with plenty of laughs throughout. Chicanery, Bagman, and Bad choice road are some of the greatest episodes in television history that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat for more. Without a doubt the best prequel and to be that of one of the world's most beloved shows.

There are no unbearable, awkwardly unnatural monologues. Exposition is all in the camera work. Everything you learn about the characters you learn through their actions, interactions, and subtle body language. If you have no patience for drawn-out scenes of mundane activity that do nothing to further the plot but which help you feel like you know the characters deeply, Better Call Saul is not for you. If you still haven't watched this show. Go watch it.

The writings, casting, acting,& execution of all 3 of this series seasons is top notch & an example for others to learn from.

Amazing Show, Jaw-Dropping action scenes accompanied by compelling characters and pitch-perfect casting daredevil is an artistic masterpiece in the MCU Netflix you just can't afford to miss.

Black Mirror packs in elements from every genre imaginable. The entire production is superbly crafted. The casting is sensational. The series is a curtain of futuristic and modern-day stand-alone tales that are perplexing and full of satire.

Each story features its own cast of enormous and mystifying characters. It's a refreshing look at how technology can turn on society when in today's world people feel like they're missing out on or aren't part of something bigger if they're not participants in social media. This anthology is really worth binging on. The 23 episodes provide us glimpses of the different outcomes as humans interact with advanced technology. The overarching theme for me is that technology has both beneficial and inimical effects on human behavior. The latter manifests itself in different ways of mind control.

Sex Education

A Netflix Original starring Gillian Anderson as Jean Milburn, who is a sex therapist, the series is based on her son, Otis played by Asa Butterfield. Unlike his extrovert, open, mother, Otis’ is a little backward in coming forwards, until he and his friends gather their own sex therapy clinic for their classmates. The show revolves around teenagers and how they journey into their sexual orientations, overcoming every possible embarrassing, hilarious, and sometimes traumatic experience; all of which helps them evolve into unique sexual personalities.

There is also light in the show; a very entertaining comedic aura is presented in every episode along with stellar costume and set design. It is very hard to find out any fault in this show, and any character you hate is of course intentionally made to hate, highlighting the amazing cast performing outstanding roles. The representation of each group of people from different cultures and how the show manages to represent all these different communities and do justice it's just hit the target right on point in this case.

The Crown

The Crown portrays the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the start of her rule up until the present day. This Netflix Original starts shortly before her Coronation, and up to its current season's end, which finds her at an interesting face in her role as sovereign and as wife and mother. To put it simply, the sets in this show are just gorgeous, but more than that, they are invaluable in helping audiences immerse themselves in the era and story. The Crown is the perfect example of how to tell a story in a way that is engaging.

The show is clever in representing each episode on the nation’s political highlight, which blurs the fine line of fiction and reality that the Crown treads. The show’s decision to replace the casts in their different stages of life provides us with fine acting from the industry’s finest. This show has everything to keep an audience glued to the screen. The cinematography and music are captivating.

Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders is based on the era of 1919, the series takes its name from a particular street gang that took hold of Birmingham, England shortly after the Great War. Peaky Blinders stands out from the other Gangster series because there is something soothing and peaceful about it. The cinematography is so amazing, it keeps you interested and on the edge, the entire time. It is beautiful because crime and killings are not the only things, it shows.

It also portrays top-class drama, making it all the more interesting. There is the climax and no boring episodes at all! The context is original, the actors are brilliant in their roles, the script defies time and history, and the charm of Cillian Murphy is beyond ordinary. Overall this is an adult series with a lot of darkness serious matter political agendas but a platter to those people who love stories and want to learn something from TV Series.

Sherlock

Sherlock is a spy crime thriller with cringe-worthy & captivating storyline & stellar performances is a must-watch. It has the thrill of the chase, the mysteries for all the world to solve, and the truth for everyone to see. It is not a show with just thrilling moments and acts of brilliance, it has the element of character flaws which both normal and extraordinary people have and how they complement each other to fight against the demons both outside and inside and develop an unprecedented bond which is just so worth-loving and awe-inspiring.

The best portrayal of what a modern-day Sherlock Holmes would look like. Each episode is about the size of an average movie with every minute worth it. It's a series full of suspense, humor, crime, thrill, and all essential elements we experienced in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's written books. Martin was the perfect choice for the role and Benedict was just supremely perfect for the role.

BoJack Horseman

BoJack is a reminder that yes, life is complex! And that you can’t choose where you come from but you can choose where you go from there. BoJack is hopeless and lethargic at the start, and seeing his journey from there to how he matured, understood his problems and mistakes, is somewhat a joy to watch. This show at its center is about forgiveness and the finale captures it very well. Just an amazing show in every aspect.

The writing is smart and quick, and the character arcs are very well done. BoJack Horseman has a gift for realistic serious narratives that make you think about human nature. When BoJack goes through the toughest time of his life he always has someone to pick him back up, all his friends are all very supportive towards how he can come back from what has happened.

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad portrays the story of how a chemistry teacher got transformed into a meth dealer and then spins out of control across five seasons, as the teacher in question, Walter White, slowly transforms from nice guy to antihero. All the while he hides his illegal shenanigans from his family, making for a slow-growing tension throughout the entire series. Once you start watching Breaking Bad from Season 1, it will feel a bit slow but gradually as the story progresses, it becomes strongly addictive just like any drug.

The ending alone is the most satisfying way it could ever conclude, this show will keep you up at night for hours reminiscing about how it all took place, and it will never leave your mind after watching it. Every single character is compelling to watch, even the lesser-known/less memorable characters such as Skyler and Gale. So many fan-favorite personalities have created from this show, Saul, Gus, Walter, Walter JR, Huell, Mike, Jessie, Gale. All of these characters carefully added to compelling storytelling.

'You' is the show that portrays the narration of a bookstore manager, Joe (Penn Badgley), who falls in love that later turns out to be a deep obsession with Guinevere Beck. Joe’s desire pushes him to a new level of stalking that will make you shake your head in disbelief. Joe’s role as a bookstore manager in New York stayed longer than I expected in my mind because of the mindful conversations he played in his mind while being a stalker to the girls he fantasizes about or wishes to date.

Guinevere Beck, an upcoming writer, broke as hell, sweet and sassy, fall prey of his words and first conversation they crack in his bookstore. Joe is definitely a psychopath who leaves no stone unturned in stalking Beck over social media to know about her whereabouts and obviously the next move. The core message here is boundaries and privacy - how private are we with social media and how do we use social media as a character-defining tool.

Mindhunter

This show will blow your mind without any mind-blowing twists and turns that we are familiar with.

This show is the epitome of the thriller genre. Cameron Britton is the heart of the show. He plays Edmund Kemper with such conviction. The narrative immerses the viewer inside the investigations and interviews. The series is pure and raw.

He only wants to be in power and to sustain it he can go beyond the law, beyond humanity, beyond conscience, and beyond every limit who says "if you don't like the table is set then turn over the table".

It's a great show to watch if you want to escape into a fun world and explore Paris while sitting at home.

Plenty of gut-wrenching monster killing is provided while at the same time not losing track of the plotline.

The show flows seamlessly and its setting is so smooth that it can perfectly immerse newcomers with no idea of any other prior material related to the plot.

Money Heist

A Spanish television series that gained worldwide popularity. After that Netflix acquired global streaming rights. It is full of drama, thrill, romance. The series is full of mind games and fine strategies. The most thrilling show with the perfect criminal play! Character development, credibility, direction, sets, all so well done. Supporting casts excellent.

Money Heist is indeed the best series to start watching (if you haven't yet) as one wouldn't just get addicted to it but would also fall in love with all the individual characters due to their rock-solid performances. Alvaro Morte does complete justice to the main characters of the Professor while Ursula aka Tokyo narrates the story across seasons in her voice while delivering the utmost acting skills. Once you start watching it there is just no point that would make you press that pause button on your devices because of its super intense storyline depicting how a group of smart people execute their plans for the biggest heists.

Friends

Whenever you feel stressed or overloaded with work and need a stress reliever, just watch one or two episodes & that's it! The series actually teaches us not to be too much serious in life, be simple, be cool and trust in ourselves. All the characters in the series have distinct qualities, everyone has got some weird habits and style but that's what it teaches us, no matter how distinct you look in the crowd you should value your own specialty and not judge yourself with others.

Altogether this is a great treat. Simplicity is what makes the series so great. You shouldn't miss this one! Joeys amazing pickup lines Rachel's loyalty and style, Pheobe's silly crazy humor, Monica's OCD, Chandler's extremely sarcastic jokes and Ross's dinosaurs is what the show is (mostly) about.
