I don’t know about you but I love the Netflix original series. And the reason for that is all the episodes are released at once so you don’t have to wait a week for the next episode.
I love watching Netflix while I am cooking or working around the house. That’s why I have gone through quite a lot in the last few months and decided to share some good picks for you. After all sharing is caring. So here we go
1. Queer Eyes
A new Fab Five set out to Atlanta to help the city’s straight men refine their wardrobes, grooming, diet, cultural pursuits, and home décor.
I just love this show. The Fab Five do a fantastic job at helping people. The contestant are really deserving people and seeing their transformations is uplifting. The end of almost every episode leaves me in tears. Throughout the transformation process you get so invested that you feel with them. The perfect show to watch when you are feeling down. It will cheer you up instantly.

2. Patriot Act
In this weekly show, the former Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj brings his unique comedic voice and storytelling skill to explore the larger grim trends shaping our fragmented world.

3. Mindhunter
Set in 1977 the series follows two FBI agents who study the minds of criminals to understand what makes them do the horrible things they did. And start to develop a system to catch these kind of criminals.

At lunch Grace and Frankie are told by their husbands that they want divorces. The reason for that is the both men, who also work as partners have also been romantically involved for the last twenty years and now that gay marriage is legal they want to get married.

There are so many nerve raking moments when you think okay it is over now but they somehow manage to keep going. Do they get away with it? Well you have to see it yourself.

8. One day at a Time
Three generations of the same Cuban-American family living in the same house: a newly divorced former military mother, her teenage daughter and tween son, and her old-school mother.

9. Santa Clarita Diet
Sheila and Joel are married real estate agents in Santa Clarita, California. When Sheila dies and turns into a zombie their lives take a dark turn.
