My Personal Picks (and Why You Should Care)

So, you're wondering why my opinion matters, right? Well, I’m a self-proclaimed Netflix connoisseur. (Don't judge; it's a pandemic-era title.) I've seen it all—from the absolute best to the absolutely worst. Trust me, I've wasted enough time on terrible shows to know what's worth your precious weekend.

I'm choosing shows based on strong plots, great acting, and that elusive 'unputdownable' quality that keeps you hooked until the very last episode. And if a show also manages to stir up some emotions—whether it's tears, laughter, or that delicious mix of both—it's automatically elevated to next-level brilliance. Let's just say I have pretty high standards. But you deserve nothing less, don't you agree?

Top 5 Shows That'll Make You Forget About Real Life (For a Few Hours)

Choosing just 5 is near impossible, but here are some personal faves to get you started:

1. "The Watcher": Prepare for a slow-burn thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. It's tense, it's creepy, and it will definitely have you looking over your shoulder. (I watched it alone, and nearly jumped out of my skin several times)
2. "Queen Charlotte": A beautiful period piece that takes you to a different world entirely, filled with romance, intrigue, and more than a little bit of scandal. If you love historical dramas, this one's a must-see.
3. "Beef": This dark comedy will have you laughing and cringing in equal measure. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy shows that push boundaries, this one is a definite win.
4. "Wednesday": If you're a fan of the Addams Family, you'll fall head over heels for this quirky, macabre show. It’s visually stunning and full of witty humor.
5. "Outer Banks": A high-octane teen drama filled with mystery, adventure, and enough romantic tension to fuel a thousand ships. This show is full of action, adventure and twists you just won't see coming!
