13 Reasons Why
If you love high school drama then this is the show for you. 13 Reasons why is a controversial show because of its strong theme about teenage suicide and depression and the show became a huge hit as soon as it dropped on Netflix. The show is about a young girl who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 reasons for her action. This is a good show for adults as it shows the struggles of high school kids but might be a bit destructive for school kids.
Narcos
The show has run for 3 seasons now, and it has been streaming since 2015. It is loosely based on real events as it explores the rise of cocaine in Colombia and its effect on America. For the first two season, it revolved around the story of Pablo Escobar, and then in the third season, it showed the rise of other Drug Cartels, when Escobar went down.

The story follows the mysterious vanishing of Will Byers from a small town called Hawkins. The show has revived the old school sci-fi genre and you will be surprised how entertaining it is. It has the best child actors you will ever see in a show and the plot is fast-paced and intriguing. There have been 2 seasons till now and the hype is real. This is a must watch. The second season totally ups the ante after the first season fills you with Goosebumps.

Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth is a treat to watch followed by Matt Smith of the ‘Doctor Who’ fame as her husband Prince Philip.

This show brought the team of Marvel’s street-level heroes together in the best way possible. We saw Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist band together, and the show provided an epic culmination of what the individual series of these heroes had been building up to.
