It certainly has a way of drawing in its viewer to the intensity and tumultuous series of events that are featured throughout.
The Queen’s Gambit
A Netflix original series, The Queen’s Gambit is a more coming-of-age focused series based on the novel by Walter Tevis. The cast has a handful of recognizable faces and follows the story of a young girl in a 1950s Kentucky orphanage. It’s a take on females fighting to be recognized in male-driven sections of society while also having an interesting subplot going on of the struggles of addiction.
Gabby’s Dollhouse
If you or a loved one have a young child (around preschool age) that you want to expose to television in a fun way or cautious way, Gabby’s Dollhouse is a popular show on Netflix for that purpose. It features cute characters and plenty of colors to attract little ones’ attention. In this show, the focus shifts from room to room of the dollhouse on different adventures and with cute cat characters that your kid will love.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Expanding on a loved series, the show Chilling Adventures of Sabrina follows the ideas of Sabrina the Teenage Witch in a new horror-themed direction. The plot is thick with conflicts, success, and ongoing battles for Sabrina that pull in the audience for every episode. It’s never-ending action in an interesting and spooky way that any fan of horror or witchy films and shows will certainly find interesting or enjoyable to watch.
History Of Swear Words
If you’re looking for something off the rails, funny, and not your typical showing; History of Swear Words is the place. This show just launched in January 2021 and is hosted by Nicholas Cage. The title well sums up this show, it’s an interesting and profane exploratory series discussing the origins, usage, and impact of many different popular swear words. History of Swear Words might be worth a peek if you’re bored of the same television genres and shows.
