My Netflix Addiction

With my internship having ended this month and no university work for a couple of weeks, I’ve gotten really addicted to Netflix. There are just so many shows I’ve been binge watching whenever I get the time and what I’m mostly into are Netflix originals aka shows that haven’t been aired on normal television. I thought this would be a nice way for you guys to watch some new shows if you haven’t already or if you've been watching the same ones, we can discuss our favourite moments in the comments below!

1.Unbreakable Kimmy Schimdt: This one’s a huge show on Netflix right now and I’m quite sure if you stalk Netflix constantly, you have either watched the show or thought about it. It’s one of Tina Fey’s creations and that’s what drew me to it first but Two seasons later, I’m absolutely in love with it. I’ve missed having a goofy, innocent comedy on television which has not a lot to do with realities of life. Kimmy has the perfectly not-so-normal life and the most interesting characters as her friends which makes the show so entertaining.

2.LOVE: A very real and modern take on today’s relationships with added humour and crazy moments. Mickey’s ( Gillian Jacobs) character is just hilarious with her failed relationships, lifestyle and addictions. She is a very real character who is full of flaws yet makes it easy for us to fall in love with her. (Also, her style is just so on point.) I really like her style/stylist on the show. The best part about this show is it’s not predictable at all. Especially the dynamics between Mickey and the main character Gus, a nice guy as people like to think of him.

3.Open Heart: This isn’t a new show and I realized it’s not an original a few weeks after actually watching the series. It has aired on Nick before but I didn’t think of it to be very childish or anything. It’s a teen drama alright but it’s a teen medical/family drama and it’s a lot darker than any of the other teen drama shows I’ve watched before. It’s about a girl trying to solve the mystery about her missing father who has disappeared without any letter and her family is acting quite suspiciously unbothered about it. This has only one season and it’s quite different in the sense that the actors are all new and there’s no news about the second season yet but I hope they do come up with one because the ending was a cliffhanger.

4.Russell Peters ‘Notorious’ tour: This is an hour/ hour and a half long show from Russell Peter’s live show when he was on tour a few years back and it has been exclusively released on Netflix which got me all excited. I’m a long time fan and although it’s not for everyone because his jokes are well known for being racist and making fun of culture stereotypes but it’s all in good humour. If you love some good stand up, you’ll like this one and probably laugh till you have tears(like I did!)

5.F is for Family: This is an animated show(comedy) about a Family in the 70’s which has quickly become my new favourite in 6 episodes which were released a few months ago I think. They’re not perfect but they’re the quirkiest family in the neighbourhood. It’s fairly new and it’s great to see Netflix bringing back more animated shows(for adults) because it’s been ages since I’ve seen a good one since Daria and The Simpsons and this one has a very similar feel to those shows. Also, the 70’s culture has been incorporated in a very clever and hilarious way. Big thumbs up to this one!
