What to Watch on Netflix?

Netflix has become one of people's favorite weekend home stays, I am one of those people who would rather stay home and watch a good show than go outside to spend money that I don't have.


One of the main advantages of Netflix is its convenience. You can access the platform from various devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and laptops, allowing you to enjoy your favorite shows anytime, anywhere. Netflix also offers the flexibility to pause, rewind, or fast-forward through episodes, giving you complete control over your viewing experience.


Here I have gathered my favorite shows I have watched to their completion. Because a good show you must recommend for others to enjoy too. Let's start with 30 going down.





What to Watch on Netflix?


30. My Life with the Walter Boys: When a tragedy disrupts her life, a teenager moves in with her guardian's big family in a small town and learns lessons about love, hope and friendship. I love the unexpected twist at the end of the season. If you love a love story you will enjoy this show.


29. The Night Agent: Low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland works in the basement of the White House manning a phone that never rings - until the night it does, propelling him into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office. The show had me hooked the entire time, Especially Peter :). This is an action show - if you enjoy action and love, this is for you.


28. You: What would you do for love? For Joe, an intense young man who frequently becomes smitten with beautiful, smart women, this question is put to the test. A charming yet awkward crush becomes something more sinister when love turns into obsession for Joe. Using social media and the internet, he uses every tool at his disposal to become close to the women of his dreams, even going so far as to remove any obstacle -- including people -- that stands in his way of getting to them. Even though I don't find Joe attractive at all - I do believe he is crazy. I really this series. After the first girlfriend that he kills - all the other ones are more crazy than him.


27. Virgin River: Seeking a fresh start, a nurse practitioner moves from Los Angeles to a remote Northern California town and is surprised by what -- and who -- she finds. I swear to you, this is the happy and sad show you will ever see. Mel character is super sweet, even though she has suffered a lot she keeps going no matter what. I can't wait for season 6. This is a series that always put me in tears.


26. The Lincoln Lawyer: Idealistic lawyer Mickey Haller runs his practice out of the back of his Lincoln Town Car, taking on cases big and small across Los Angeles. If you are into law this show is for you. I learn so much watching Mickey - This show is super funny too. Don't get discarded it has tons of action too and love.


25. Outer Banks: A teenager enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father's disappearance. I loved this show! I've always been a fan of the coming-of-age and murder mystery genre, so when you bring the two together, it makes for an outstanding and thrilling watch. What truly stood out about this show was the brilliantly executed suspense and unexpected plot twist incorporated throughout the plot. Several intense and action-packed scenes had me on the edge of my seat, filled with excitement as the show continued to unfold.


24. The Diplomat: Amid an international crisis, a career diplomat juggles her new high-profile job as ambassador to the United Kingdom and her turbulent marriage to a political star. I started this show out of boredom, But the supporting cast is great too. Michael McKean plays a Biden like president with humor and a quiet ferocity. Ato Essandoh as the Deputy Ambassador is funny, intense, and very believable as the political careerist tired of running campaigns. It does have one of those convoluted plots involving an attack on a British Navy ship that may or may not have been done by Iran. It's twisty enough with plenty of big speeches that I'm not always sure I understand what's going on, but I expect that from a show like this. If you're looking for your next prestige show to binge, this is it.


23. The Watcher: A family moves into their dream home, only to be plagued by ominous letters, strange neighbors and sinister threats. If you like mystery fiction then this is for you. I was intrigued by who wrote the damn letter.


22. Ginny & Georgia: Teenage Ginny and her family yearn to put down roots in a picturesque New England town after years on the run. I identify so much with Georgia the mother (wait I have not done any single thing of that what she did) But as a mother, I feel for her.


21. The Witcher: The Witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world in which people often prove more wicked than beasts. I love this Drama play by Henry Cavil - It has lots of mystery and ugly creatures. I don't know if I'm going to like the new season with the new author - because I don't like when the author gets changed.


20. Black Mirror: A series of stand-alone dramas -- sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales that explore techno-paranoia -- "Black Mirror" is a contemporary reworking of "The Twilight Zone" with stories that tap into the collective unease about the modern world, particularly regarding both intended and unintended consequences of new technologies and the effect they have on society and individuals. Each story features its own cast of unique characters, including stars like Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help"), Alice Eve, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Tom Cullen and Jerome Flynn ("Game of Thrones"). Joe Wright, Dan Trachtenberg, and James Watkins are among the featured directors.


19. Manifest: When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. But in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years -- and after mourning their loss, their friends, families and colleagues had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they're all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible. I love this show from start to finish. You will not get bore with this one. I highly recommend it.


18. Dark: When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.


17. The A List: A teenage girl expects the summer of a lifetime at an idyllic camp, until a mysterious newcomer challenges her status as `Queen Bee' and dark secrets begin to turn her dream summer into a nightmare.


16. The Society: Busloads of Connecticut high school students head off for an extended camping trip, but a storm forces them to return home. Upon their return, the teens realize that all of the town's adults are gone in this modern take on "Lord of the Flies." Their newfound freedom is fun at first, but it quickly becomes dangerous. While they struggle to figure out what has happened to them and how to get the town back to normal, the teens must establish order and form alliances to survive.


15. Tidelands: Cal McTeer is a young woman who has returned home to the small fishing village of Orphelin Bay after 10 years in juvenile detention. Upon returning to her hometown, she discovers that it is shrouded in mysteries -- the biggest of which is the commune of outcasts who live in a hidden pocket of the bay, the Tidelanders. She hopes to blow the lid off a generations-long conspiracy of silence around murder, drugs and Sirens.


14. Echoes: Identical twin sisters Leni and Gina decide to swap their lives. However, there are dire consequences when one of the twins goes missing, causing both of their lives to rapidly fall apart.


13. Keep Breathing: After her private plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness, lone survivor Liv must battle both an unforgiving cold and past personal traumas to stay alive in the harsh environments.


12. Locke & Key: Following their father's murder, three siblings move into a house filled with reality-bending keys; from the comics by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.


11. Into the Night: When the sun starts to kill everything in its path, a plane full of passengers must travel at night in an attempt to escape its destructive power and find some place safe


10. Maid: Single mother Alex turns to housecleaning to make ends meet as she escapes an abusive relationship and overcomes homelessness to create a better life for her daughter, Maddy. Another mini serie that put me in tears.


9. Greenhouse Academy: Students at elite Southern California boarding school The Greenhouse must work together to conquer challenges after uncovering an evil plot.


8. Bloodline: From the creators of "Damages," "Bloodline" is a dramatic thriller that explores the demons lurking beneath the surface of a contemporary American family. The Rayburns are hard-working pillars of their Florida Keys community, but their past contains dark secrets that they hope remain buried. Paranoia and mistrust build as lies pile up, alliances are shattered, and an unthinkable crime takes place. The tight-knit family's formerly harmonious relationship deteriorates, and good people are forced to consider doing very bad things.


7. The Queen’s Gambit: Chess has never looked as exciting as it does in The Queen’s Gambit, Scott Frank and Allan Scott’s ornate adaptation of the novel by Walter Tevis. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy whose skill at the game results in her competitive ascension throughout the ’50s, even as her dependency on prescription drugs and alcohol grows more severe. The series is as much a look at the mind of a tortured genius as it is a reflection on trauma, anxiety, and how failure to address personal demons can get in the way of a person’s dreams. It’s a great showcase for Taylor-Joy, but The Queen’s Gambit’s excellent supporting cast also includes memorable turns from Moses Ingram, Marielle Heller, Bill Camp, and Harry Melling.


6. Midnight Mass: Mike Flanagan’s name has become synonymous with the horror genre — he previously entertained and terrified us with The Haunting of Hill HouseThe Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Midnight Club — but the ruminative Midnight Mass feels like a special gem, even among other great entries in the Flanaverse. Set on a remote island shaken up by the arrival of a magnetic young priest (Hamish Linklater), the supernatural series acts as a study of its characters and an exploration of faith. While there are a number of solid jump scares, the show prefers to establish an eerie slow burn, which only becomes more unsettling the longer it goes on. But don’t let its thoughtful approach and moody imagery fool you: Midnight Mass has plenty of bloody tricks up its sleeve.


5. Suits: It says a lot about Suits’ enduring popularity that the show has been at the top of Netflix’s most-watched charts despite ending four years ago. The series follows the unlikely partnership between prominent attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), and a brilliant con man, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams). Harvey is so impressed by Mike’s legal knowledge that he hires him on the spot to be his associate despite knowing full well that he never went to law school.

Harvey and Mike’s efforts help the firm win several high-profile cases, even as Mike’s secret threatens to emerge. Meanwhile, Mike catches the eye of Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), an ambitious paralegal with her own plans to advance in the legal world.


4. Never Have I Ever: After four seasons, Never Have I Ever wraps up the story of Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and her high school trials Season 4 picks up with Devi in a weird and awkward space with her sometimes boyfriend, Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison), before she potentially finds new love with Ethan Morales (Michael Cimino).

Devi also has to deal with her efforts to get into the college of her choice, find emotional closure for her time in high school, and move past the death of her father. This is where Devi has to choose who she wants to be and what it will take to make her happy as she finally becomes an adult.


3. Imposters: OMG this is literary one of the best Netflix shows. Supported by a team of fellow thieves, a con artist lures her targets into matrimony and then absconds with their fortunes in this darkly comic series. I don't want to spoil for anyone but the fact they married the same person with a different name is incredible.


2. Jane The Virgin: After vowing to remain chaste until marriage, Jane Villanueva learns she's pregnant due to a medical slip-up and has to rethink her future.


1.Velvet: In 1950s Spain, the heir to a fashion house romances a beautiful seamstress who works for the company, despite the objections of his family.


These shows offer a diverse range of genres and are guaranteed to keep you entertained! I'm open to any recommendation, leave me your suggestion in the comments.
