Okay, so in light of the terrible, terrible social afflictions brought about by some chick named Corona, a l o t of time has been spent on Netflix. And sometimes, it’s hard to find something to watch when it feels as if you’ve already watched everything. So, here I am to put you on some dope shows and a movie that I love and that I hope you’d love.
So, first. American Horror Story.
So, there is no secret that this is one of my absolute favorite shows in the entire world. And there’s so much diversity in this show. Like, honestly. Every season is something new and they all coincide. It is a horror show, though, so there are many different situations where it can get much. But if you aren’t faint of heart, then I genuinely recommend it. But do your research before watching it.
Second, Total Drama Island.
Now, Total Drama is a show for the ages. Originally Canadian, this animated series is a hilarious spoof of survival reality tv. It follows the 22 campers that have to endure insane and dangerous challenges weekly. It isn’t really rated for a younger audience, but a good recommendation for anyone 14+.
Up next, One Day At A Time (2017-)
One Day At A Time is a sitcom that follows the life of Penelope, a newly single Army Vet. and her Cuban-American family. Y’all…this show is so good. It kind of reminds me of the show Mom, but it’s different because, although it doesn’t cater to younger audiences, they can still learn communication skills and things of the such. Besides that, though, this show is so good at reeling you into the story so that you feel like a part of the family. Such a good show.
My third recommendation is Self Made.
Now, I haven’t finished Self Made and that is due to it being new to Netflix. But, from what I have seen, Nicole Jefferson Asher really popped off. This limited series chronicles the incredible story of Madam C.J. Walker, the first black, self-made millionare. With a cast that includes Octavia Spencer, Tiffany Haddish, and Carmen Ejogo, you already know the acting was top-notch. Overall, an amazing show thus far.
Last, but certainly not least, is Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower.
Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower is a 2017 documentary about a teen rallying thousands of kids our age to occupy the streets when China’s Communist Party breaks it’s promise of autonomy is Hong Kong. I personally really liked this one, not only because it documented a shift in history, but it shows what we, teens and preteens, can do. We are extremely powerful and Joshua is a testament to that.
I hope you watch these and get inspired to create, to evolve, or to change the world. Are there any movies/ shows that you really like? I’d love to hear them! Until next week. 🙂
One Day at a Time is such a good, wholesome show, and the Madam CJ Walker biopic was SO good. Thanks for sharing because Lord knows I’ve needed some new recommendations.
It’s funny because as soon as I saw this title, I was like yo. That’s azya’s post. and it was. But no, I really appreciate this because I am in desperate need of new Netflix shows so thank you:) I’m defiantly gonna watch the ones I haven’t already. (also right now my favorite Netflix show is All American lol.)
I loved these Netflix recommendations, agh, love American Horror Story. And Total Drama Island? A complete classic. Very good taste.
I have only heard of one of these shows: Total Drama Island. I barely even remember it, but I found it quite entertaining. But, yes, this is definitely a time for Netflix. Usually, I barely have time to even read, so I think I only watched Netflix twice this entire school year (before recently, of course). Now I am fully understanding its relevance. My current workload is not particularly light, but I somehow find myself watching a lot of television. Now I am resisting the urge to go through entire seasons in one sitting, ahhh, the terror. Thank you for fueling my developing bad habit. (:
