There’s nothing like sitting by a roaring fire in your woolly socks on a cold, windswept winter night than NETFLIX and CHILL! You’re wrapped in a blanket and holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate with a fountain of marshmallows on the rim, ready to spill over the lip and into your lap at any moment. We’ve got you a list of must-watch Netflix shows this season.
Growing up, the one thing most of us lacked was Sex Ed. That is a big part of why kids, and even adults, have trouble figuring out who they are. Netflix’s Sex Education, which is certainly one of the best shows on the service right now, may have changed that and sparked a discussion on some serious gender and sexuality-related issues. Its honest portrayal of sex and relationships makes it a must-see, even if you just want to learn something new.
The fact that the main character’s mother is a sex therapist kicks things off in the show, making a lot of normally uncomfortable topics easy and even natural in the series! The show is tremendously diverse, as well as extremely inclusive, which is something that we appreciate. It doesn’t approach sex from a ‘sexy’ view, but rather through a more realistic and accessible lens.
The sitcom follows three working-class teenagers who enrol at an extremely exclusive private school, which has recently been renewed for two more seasons. It’s a ‘guilty pleasure’ show with a sense of mystery, and the reviews have been tremendously good.
The show explains how the adolescents’ ambitions and wants finally lead to the murder of one student and the disappearance of another, making it a captivating teen drama with a mystery twist. While the mystery is the show’s backbone, it also allows it to address more common concerns of coming of age, such as how far one will go to fit in, the struggles of being gay in a conservative household, and the drawbacks of living in the age of social media.
NEVER HAVE I EVER (2020)
This snappy, humorous, and touching coming-of-age drama is exactly what we need right now. Never Have I Ever is a film co-created by Mindy Kaling and influenced by her own background. It follows Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), an Indian-American high school sophomore striving to have a regular American teen experience.
BRIDGERTON (2020- )
Bridgerton, a sensual and artistically appealing picture of London’s Regency Era, was an instant hit and soon rose to the top of Netflix’s best series list! Because Gen-Z enjoys powerful visuals, the candy-coloured backdrops and lavish costumes played a big role in creating excitement surrounding the presentation. You can bet on the steamiest scenes as well as characters repeatedly shattering the patriarchy.
SCHITT’S CREEK (2015-2020)
This show’s unusual name may have made you pass it up anytime it appeared on Netflix’s ‘trending’ list, but if you take a risk on it, you will not be disappointed! Not only did the sitcom win multiple Emmys and a Golden Globe, but it also won our hearts.
The writers discovered a way to pull numerous laughs and lesson points from a narrative about a wealthy family losing everything and having to live in a motel. That isn’t even the show’s main selling point; the characters and the show’s progressive concept make it well worth your time. The way this top Netflix series portrays LGBTQ relationships and doesn’t make a big deal out of them is a highlight, along with protagonists like Moira, David, Alexis, and pretty much everyone else!
