Netflix is seriously killing it with the tv shows lately. I mean, come on. Most of them are diverse with many people of different races, beliefs, and sexualities. They have super compelling plots and character arcs and awesome soundtracks. I didn’t expect for all my favorite shows/movies to be Netflix originals but here we are. Here are some of my favorites, along with some thoughts: (absolutely feel free to scroll past this - I dont know why I was so possessed to make this)
- Stranger Things -
The absolute BEST thing about Stranger Things is Steve Harrington, but there are a lot of other great aspects to the show. It’s one of those great shows that really keeps you on your toes, but still has quiet moments and LOTS of character development, which I am a total sucker for.
- A Series of Unfortunate Events -
This is also a really good show, but I think the reason I like it the most is because of the dark academia vibes that is present through a lot of it. The tone is more aimed towards kids, but I still enjoy it.
- Free Rein -
I’m a sucker for this show. Yeah, it’s not the BEST show on the list, or in general. But I the part of me that’s an equestrian loves it even if some of the horsemanship is bleh. I also have a crush on Gabby? If you want something slightly cringey but light-hearted with a healthy dose of horses, then I recommend this show.
- Greenhouse Academy -
Full honesty: I hate this show. I hate these characters, and the plots, and all the weirdness. It is very cringy. Everyone pictured above is an idiot. But still I binge watch every. season. I don’t know what this sorcery is, but it makes the list simply because despite my hatred, I can’t get enough. 10/10 for the black magic used.
- Chilling Adventures of Sabrina -
It is a bit Riverdale-y, which can be good or bad depending on who you’re talking to. But the storylines are much better and the spoopy vibes are fantastic.
- THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY -
This is my all-time favorite show. I could watch it over and over and over (and I have). It is a cinematic masterpiece. All of the 7 members are relatable and beautiful and really awesome with their respective superpowers (yes, Luther too - he just has a different way of dealing with his trauma. Klaus has drugs, and Luther has being a whiny dipshit with some anger issues). But anyways, this is a FANTASTIC show and I’m going to call in sick when season 2 comes out so I can BINGE.
- The Society -
Want to see a bunch of gen z’s try to form their own society? Yes, you do. There is feelings! There is democracy! There is ~murder~! What more could you want from a show? I have so many cinnamon rolls from this show.
- The Witcher -
The range of this show, I swear. You have a lovable bard singing catchy tunes and cracking jokes, you have a grumpy/smelly/dirty man who just wants to do his job in peace, you have a badass mage obsessed with power, you have a horse who might just have the most braincells of any of them… It’s fantastic.
- Spinning Out -
It was a great show! Very dark. Super dark. But great! I’m sad that it got cancelled :( But the first season is definitely worth a watch. This show is seriously underrated.
- OUTER BANKS -
This show absolutely deserves all of the hype it’s getting! I’m so happy that people are loving it, because I love it and I NEED more seasons!!! It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I really felt for each of the characters (with some exceptions, of course).
- One Day At A Time -
Probably my favorite sitcom! It’s really funny and also dealt with many important issues that a lot of other sitcoms are too nervous to cover. I wish there were more seasons!
- Daybreak -
It’s certainly a strange show. But there are some good characters, especially including my trash baby, Eli Cardashyan. The plot is also cool. You really have to watch past the first episode to get into it, and then it’s a wild ride.
- I Am Not Okay With This
This is a goood show. Sophia Lillis and Wyatt Olef? A fantastic duo. I can’t wait to see more of all of these characters!
- 6 Underground
This is very much an action movie. Don’t believe me? The car chase is 16 MINUTES LONG. Yes, I timed it. But somehow, in the midst of all the action, they spared time for lots of feels and character development and a beautiful found family dynamic. This isn’t the type of movie that I usually like, but I watched this one several times.
- Anne With An E
There are literal BILLBOARDS for the renewal of this show. That should tell you enough. Ryan Reynolds himself wants this show renewed.
Your takeaway from this list should be two things: Netflix originals are great and I watch too much tv.
Spinning Out: Glanz und Elend des Eiskunstlaufens
Spinning Out: Glanz und Elend des Eiskunstlaufens
Als Schulkind waren für mich die jährlichen Höhepunkte der Fernsehsaison ganz klar die Wettbewerbe im Eiskunstlaufen, die damals zu besten Sendezeiten im ersten oder zweiten Programm übertragen wurden. Mich faszinierte das Können der Sportlerinnen und Sportler, Kraft und Eleganz, die Musik, die Kostüme, und natürlich das ganze Drama der Wettkämpfe, ich kannte alle wichtigen Namen und Fakten, ich…
