Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you 10
Netflix series that you need to binge watch now. If I'm not watching YouTube, then I am
most likely watching a series on Netflix and these are my top 10 favorite ones. So I hope
you like this because I think the best way to find out about the good series on Netflix
is to get recommendations from friends.
So I'm going to share with you my list. There's a very eclectic mix in this. There are some
gripping crime series. There are some light hearted easy to watch ones, some comedies
and also some documentaries that I love as well. So if you like this type of video, please
give it a big thumbs up and I'll know to make more like this. And if you're new around here,
I would love for you to subscribe, I'm Emily and I post three videos a week, on a Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm. I post about all kinds of different topics so I would love
to have you as a viewer. Without further ado, let's get into my top 10.
So the first series that you need to binge watch if you haven't already is The Sinner.
This is an eight part series in season one and it is gripping. I was hooked in the first
episode because in the first episode a young mother murders someone on the beach in front
of her family, just while she's having a nice day out. Then you spend the rest of the season
finding out why she did this, what happened, what's happened in her past to make her do
this. She also has no memory of doing this. She kind of goes out of her head to a different
place and that happens. So there's a detective and they spend time working out why this has
all happened and in the end it all kind of makes sense.
I think there's nothing more satisfying than when you're watching a crime thing and then
in the end, you're like, "Oh!" And it all comes together and it's really, really good
to watch. The lead in it is Jessica Biel who is just amazing and beautiful and she's just
a great actress. So I would totally recommend it. I've only watched season one, but apparently
there is a season two now as well. I think we finished it in a week.
The second series that you need to watch is The Handmaid's Tale. I have loved watching
this. I've just watched season one and season two and I'm now waiting for season three to
come out. It's amazing, but it's also a bit weird. Especially, the first few episodes
that I watched, I was like, "This is really uncomfortable to watch. I don't know if I
like this." As a mother it's quite hard to watch.
Basically, it's based on the best selling novels by Margaret Atwood and it's set in
the future. In the future, birth rates have fallen. Lots of women are not fertile anymore,
so the government in the U.S. becomes a totalitarian government. It's not a democracy. It's like
the opposite. It's really bad. They make them have babies for the powerful couples. It's
really weird, but it's also so amazing. So much happens in it.
The lead in it is such a strong character. She just wants to survive for her children.
Children get taken away from mothers and it is really hard to watch, but you're so wanting
her to get out and to survive. It's just really, really good. It's the kind of series that
has kept me up some nights, so see what you think. Watch the first three episodes before
you say, "I don't want to watch this," because it took me a little while to get into it.
But then I was totally hooked.
The third series is Big Little Lies. I watched this because my friends really recommended
it. I think I had to buy it but it was really good. The two main leads in it are Reese Witherspoon
and Nicole Kidman. It's set in California and it's like a murder mystery, but it's also
quite funny in places. So, the three main characters are basically all moms and they're
school moms together and a murder has happened and you try and find out why, what's happened.
Within that there's also lots of rumors, gossip, cheating, all kinds of crazy things.
The next series that I really wanted to recommend to you is one I just stumbled across. It was
a U.K. documentary. I just turned it on one day and I ended up totally loving it. It's
called Reggie Yates Extreme. Reggie Yates is a U.K. presenter and he goes around the
world tackling different issues like in Africa, or he does gay rights and violence, just all
these extreme different issues. It's just really interesting and it's real life.
I just really like him because he can be opinionated but he's always very fair with what he says.
I found the ones that he did in South Africa really interesting. He did one about the white
slums in South Africa and it was just really crazy because I sort of never knew about them.
He himself is mixed race, so you could really see how he was torn from either side because
he was talking by the white people then also the black people and he was kind of there
in the middle. I just found it was really, really good. So if you love a documentary...
He's gone to South Africa. He's gone to Russia. He's gone all over. So yeah, I really enjoyed
it.
The next series that I was surprised how much I ended up loving is called White Gold. This
is a comedy and it was filmed in Essex and it is based in Essex, which is where I live,
so that might be why I really enjoyed it. I don't know if it will be for everyone. It's
very British humor.
It's basically set in the 1980s and it's these three salesmen who are in a double glazing
showroom. They're selling double glazing to everyone and they will do anything for a sale.
It's really funny and two of the salesmen are two of the Inbetweeners, so if you enjoyed
Inbetweeners, you'll probably love them because they're really funny in this as well. The
main salesman in it, the main actor, is the guy who was Chuck Bass in Gossip Girl. I didn't
even realize that he was British, but he's very handsome. They're very cocky. They're
bad but it's really funny as well. I would totally recommend it especially if you live
in Essex. Check it out. I should probably say that it's called White Gold because the
white gold is the double glazing because it's basically just a piece of plastic but they
are selling it for so much money.
The next series is Call the Midwife. I love watching stuff like this. I love talking about
birth. I love One Born Every Minute, so this series was right up my street. Matt doesn't
ever want to watch it with me, but if he's ever working late, I will watch Call the Midwife.
It's set in the 1950s which is my favorite decade. It's also in the East End of London,
it's in Poplar, which is not far from us at all. It's really interesting. It's basically
about a group of midwives that live in a convent and they go around delivering babies on their
bikes and you follow the women's stories who have the babies. It's happy and it's sad and
it's funny and it's just really, really good. I would totally recommend it as a girly watch.
The next series is called This is Us. This was a really easy to watch series and I really
enjoyed it. It was the kind of series that I could be editing on my laptop and have it
on in the background. There's not like a massive plot line that you have to follow and watch.
I just really liked it. I think it's based in the 60s or 70s. It's about this couple
who have triplets and then their triplets lives. One ends up being an actor, one's a
businessman. They're all so different and they all do different things. I really liked
it. The lead in it is Mandy Moore who is actually an amazing actress. I did not expect her to
be so good but she was brilliant in it. It's funny. It's nice. It's all about family.
Next up, I have another documentary for you. This one is just the most remarkable story.
It's called Twinsters. Basically these two identical twins were born in South Korea and
separated at birth. They were both adopted to different families. One in France. One
in America. Then 25 years later, the one who is French is studying in the U.K. and she
saw her twin sister in a YouTube video. It's obviously just like looking at herself, so
then she looked up her name, did a little bit of research and worked out that the girl
that she saw on YouTube was born the same day as her, in the same city as her, in Korea.
She's like, "We must be twins." So she reaches out to her on Facebook and they just connect.
One of the girls, the YouTuber is an actress, so she decides to document the whole experience.
It's amazing. It will make you cry. It's just amazing that they found each other through
the amazing world of YouTube and the internet.
The next series is called The Let Down. It's a funny Australian series that I just came
across randomly one day. It's a comedy. It's about this woman called Audrey and she has
her first baby. It's about her finding her way through motherhood and all the challenges
that we go through. She goes to a mother's meeting group and it's all the different characters
that you yourself have probably come across, like the competitive moms and all the different
types of moms. There's some quirky characters in it and it also goes through how her and
her husband's relationship changes. It's just really funny and loads of the things in it
if you're a mom, you will relate to so I really recommend it.
The last series that I wanted to recommend to you guys but I feel like a lot of people
have already seen this series is Dexter. There's eight seasons in this. I've watched them all
and I really enjoyed it. Especially the first season is just amazing. I loved it.
It's based in Miami. It's about this guy who works for the police as a splatter blood expert
on crime scenes, but he himself is a serial killer as well, but he only kills guilty people.
So he only kills bad people. It's really weird to watch because you don't like that he's
a murderer but you do like that these people are being brought to justice. Then in the
end, there is a reason why he has this urge to kill and it's just really cool. It's the
kind of series though that will keep you up at night. If I would watch it, that night
I'd be like, "What's that sound? What's that noise?" It did make me a bit scared. It is
scary but I really ,really enjoyed it so I wanted to recommend that one as well.
I was going to say Breaking Bad as well. I know its so old and I'm sure so many people
have seen it, but Breaking Bad was such a good series. I really loved that, so if you
haven't seen that, go and watch that as well, but I'm sure loads of you have already seen
that.
Right. So that is it for this video. I really hope you enjoyed it. If you want another one
like this, let me know because I do have another ten that I could also recommend to you guys.
I would of course love to hear your recommendations in the comments below because I'm always on
the lookout for a good series to watch.
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you on my next one.
Bye guys.
