Fate: The Winx Saga
The Winx Club was an animated series on nickelodeon about a bunch of teen girls who attend the wizarding school together. These girls battled monsters by night and leaned to control their powers by day. Fate: The Winx Saga is Netflix’s adaptation and it certainly does justice to the original show.

Shadow and Bone
A new fantasy series on Netflix adapted from the Shadow and Bone novels does a surprisingly good job of doing justice to the original novels. The series might be a little too complicated for newcomers into the franchise but the learning curve is worth the payoff.

This is a fictional show represented as a documentary. A perverted twist on the true crime genre, Sons of Sam follows the narrative of a journalist called Maury Terry came up with when investigating the Son of Sam murders.

Sweet Tooth
An adaptation of Jeff Lemire’s novel by the same name, and produced by Robert Downey Jr. takes place in a post-apocalyptical world where “the sick” have taken out almost everyone. The children that are born are chimaeras and things get pretty weird from here on out.
Lupin
Assane Diop is a gentleman thief just like the original Lupin. The show is about a series of heists carried out by Diop in his attempt to expose an evil villain masquerading as a philanthropist. He does all of this to be able to clear his father’s name. This series was a pleasant surprise, not gonna lie.
Heist
Heist is the retelling of the three grandest heists in US history. The series takes place all over the country, including Begas and it has all the hedonistic tropes you can think of. However, the most interesting part is that the series is narrated by the same people who pulled off the heists.
Clickbait
Probably one of the best shows to come out of Netflix in recent years. Clickbait is the story of Nick Brewer’s kidnapping and murder. The story has more twists and turns than a theme park maze. The story is told brilliantly through the ambit of all family members. There are so many surprises throughout the show that no one can predict where it will go. A must-watch for everyone.
