Top 15 Best Netflix Original Series to Watch Now! 2019
Hello everyone and today I thought I would make a series suggestion list, of the shows
I honestly think are currently the strongest on Netflix that
don�t necessarily agree with what Rotten Tomatoes-says. And
as Netflix has so many series to choose from, I decided to go for 15 shows instead of 10.
As 10 doesn't quite do the service-justice.
However to keep things simple I'm going to be avoiding shows which have exclusive international
distribution and what I mean by that is a series that was originally created on another-network.
So for example Peaky Blinders and the Sinner both
originally aired on another Network such as BBC 2 or USA
Network therefore will not me making an appearance. And for those of you new to this-channel,
I�ve made this list in NO PARTICULAR ORDER, therefore while I
think these are the top 15-series, I consider all of them -the cream of the crop- and all
equally binge- worthy.
1. Dark Netlfix orignal series When children start disappearing from a small
isolated town next to a nuclear power plant. This brings
light to affairs, double lives and the dark past of four families living within the area.
Linked between the past and present the series follows Jonas,
a teenager struggling to cope with his father's recent suicide
and a police officer whose brother disappeared under similar circumstances 33 years earlier.
Not a TV show for everyone Dark's main mystery unfolds at a very slow pace, so I can imagine
your average viewer growing impatient with it quite
quickly. However this series is both tense and terrifying,
as well as very gloomy- so for those of you who love strange and atmospheric series then
this is the show for you.
This fresh, creepy and innovative drama has, not only great filmmaking and sound design
but also has f antastic and realistic characters that are
only matched by their equally solid acting. I might also add that the Dub for this series
isn�t particularly good, so I strongly recommend that you
stick to subtitles as the alternative is pretty bad.
2. The Haunting of Hill House Netlfix orignal series
Is about five siblings who as children, grew up in what would eventually become, the most
famous haunted house in North America. Now as adults
this fragmented family is forced back together, to face
the ghosts of their pasts; confronting the memories of their old home and the terrifying
events that drove them from it.
Based on Shirley Jackson�s novel of the same name - The Haunting of Hill House is
an eye-catchingly creepy ghost story with an equally as satisfying
cast of characters. Each with their own tormented backstory that links them to their old home
no matter how hard they try to escape it. In my opinion this is the closest your going
to get to watching a perfect horror series: from the first rate
cinematography, editing, set design and story to the great characters and fantastically
eerie atmosphere. Not once does this show come off
as either cheesy or ciche - and apart from some okish
CGI The Haunting of Hill House does everything right.
3. Atypical Netlfix orignal series Atypical is a coming of age story that follows
Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, who in search
for love and independence- decides it's time to find a girlfriend. While on his journey
of self-discovery, Sam unintentionally triggers a set of life-changing
paths for his family that leaves them all asking the
same question, what does it really mean to be normal?
As an excellent depiction of Asperger's syndrome, A-typical is a series that really has gone
out of its way to make itself as accurate and realistic as
possible while still been entertaining at the same time.
With it�s great performances and an almost real-life interpretation of a family dealing
with the social struggles of having an autistic family member.
A-typical is a warm and funny show that leaves you ~the viewer~ always smiling learning and
reflecting with a greater understanding of this misunderstood
disorder.
But besides from that, all the characters have great rappaport, the story is very down
to earth for the most part and the comedy is evening spear
throughout- I�d say the series only problem is that the
episodes are only 30 minutes long and each season is only 8 - 10 episodes.
04. MindHunter Netlfix orignal series Set in the late 1970s, two FBI agents attempt
to create a new form of innovative crime science. That
incorporates psychology, sociology and anthropology as a method to reveal the motives for these
newly classified �serial� killers. Tasked with
interviewing these unusual �serial� killers our agents must fight
against the bureaus simplistic status quo of ~Means Motive and opportunity~ in order
to get to the truth.
Probably one of the best Netflix originals to date, Mindhunter distinguishes itself from
other crime thrillers with it�s excellent character
development and unique cinematography. With David Fincher producing and directing
most of the series it�s one of those rare and fascinating
shows that not only has fantastic acting, but also portrays real life serial killers
in such a fashion, that it�s hard to believe these types of people really
exist. A good watch that�s intelligent intriguing
and original, Mindhunter while a little slow paced at first is a
solid crime drama and a must see series. 5. Money Heist Netlfix orignal series
Follows a group of skilled criminals recruited and lead by an enigmatic character only known
as �the Professor�. United for only one reason;
to get incredibly rich. These ambitious robbers set out to do the
unthinkable, that is to successfully carry out the biggest robbery in history. With a
tight well thought out plan, can this combination of thugs and professionals
succeed or just fail. Full of drama, action and suspense Money Heist
has an excellent concept for a crime drama with some
truly gripping moments. As well as having many likeably and well developed characters
who are all interesting in their own unique way.
I�d say the series main problem is that it�s increasingly difficult to hold your
suspension of disbelief due to how some of the big events & twists, take
place in such an implausible manner that the story might
come off as nonsensical or contrived. However apart from the lack of logic and a
little bit of melodrama Money Heist on the whole is a very
watchable and highly entertaining show. 06. Castlevania Netlfix orignal series
After been provoked by an overzealous bishop, Dracula declares war on the people of the
world; unleashing a massive army of demonic creatures
to kill all human life. It�s now up to Trevor Belmont
~the last survivor of the Belmont family~ and his allies. To try to stop Dracula before
it�s too late. One of, if not the best video game adaptations
to date: Castlevania oozes quality with it�s fantastic
visuals, fluid animation and 1st rate voice acting. Surprisingly enough it�s a non-Japanese
anime made by an American/canadian studio, and if it wasn�t
for the default language been set to English I would have
easily thought this was made by a Japanese studio.
In addition- the action, story, characters and romance are all great. However the series
only main weakness, is that it�s episodes are short
and that season 1 & 2 combined are only 12 episodes long. I
know animation isn�t for everybody but this is one series everyone should check out at
least once. 7. Black Mirror Netlfix orignal series
Is an anthology series of stand-alone episodes that explore a hypothetical dystopian earth,
through the innovations of technology. Looking into a
future high-tech world from a paranoid pov where if things
such as social media were left unquestioned, how potentially, could this technology transform
our everyday lives via smartphones and computer
algorithms. A series that always leaves me asking the
question: does technology actually help mankind for the
better or is it just a hindrance? BLACK MIRROR is one of the most intelligent, chilling & original
television shows I�ve ever seen. Where each and every
episode through the setting of a worst case scenario leaves
you with a terrifying sense of unease about a very possible technology-driven future.
A show that instantly hooks its viewers Black mirror is a great mix of black comedy, satire
and sci-fi that transports those who watch it into a new technological
world of alienation. 08. Kingdom Joseon Netlfix orignal series
is a horror set in Korea�s medieval Jo-son period, that centres around the Crown Prince,
Yi-Chang, who is caught up within a political conspiracy which
forces him to leave the safety of his palace. In order to
counter this coup, the prince must investigate a mysterious plague, but unknown to him this
epidemic has already started to spread at an alarming
rate. Just when you thought the zombie genre has
been done to death, the Koreans yet again prove us wrong
with this fantastic and original series. Kingdom is a successful combination of location,
time period and awesome choreography that fits the
zombie genre so well, i�d expect that even the most skeptical of viewers would at least
appreciate the originality and creativity of this series.
Obviously if you�re not a fan of horror or subtitles then this might not be the series
for you- however if you want do see a zombie show that breathes
new life into this tired genre then Kingdom is a must see
series. 09. Daredevil Netlfix orignal series
Blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. "Marvel's Daredevil" is an action series that follows
attorney Matt Murdock, who after an accident with chemicals,
was blinded but also imbued with extraordinary senses -allowing him to become an amazing
fighter. With his own law practice in Hell's Kitchen, New
York. Matt quickly discovers that been a masked vigilante is a lot harder than he first thought.
One of the best superhero series to date: Daredevils cohesion to its source material,
high quality production and first rate fight choreography
are pretty much second to none. All that combined with its
gritty realistic and visceral action sequences, makes Daredevil a satisfying contrast to its
colorful cinematic cousins in the MCU.
In the interest of fairness it�s not a perfect series as does have its flaws such as some
of the main characters been a little bit on the irritating
side, but apart from that Daredevil is a show I would highly
recommend to fans of the comic book and MCU movies.
On an extra note- I would also suggest that it�s worth watching all the other Marvel
shows linked to this one, such as The Punisher, Jessica Jones and
Luke cage as they all fit in quite nicely together as a
complete package. 10. Altered Carbon Netlfix orignal series
Set in a future where society has been completely transformed by a single piece of technology:
The human consciousness can now be digitized and
stored allowing human bodies to be interchangeable; in
essence making all mankind almost immortal. The series follows a prisoner called Takeshi
Kovacs who returns to life in a new body and must solve
a complex murder to win back his freedom. With a cinematic quality you would expect
from a hollywood blockbuster Altered Carbon feels almost as
though its a movie and not a Netflix -series. But apart from the fantastic visuals the one
thing this series really excels at is worldbuilding where you
really do get a sense of the culture and history of this world.
And I have to say I�m pretty picky when it comes to sci-fi and Altered Carbon exceeded
most of my expectations.
I�d say it�s only main weakness is its lack of subtlety, where most of the series
solutions are resolved with over the top one sided action sequences-
that and the larger than life visuals are consistently filled
with bright colours, to a level that even the darker scenes are pretty, so when your
introduced to a gorgeous establishing shot, it loses quite
a lot of its impact. But apart from that Altered Carbon is a solid
atmospheric sci-fi with a kickass main character and
supporting cast that all takes place in an incredible world. Making it a must see series
for fans of the cyberpunk genre.
11. American Vandal Netlfix orignal series Netflix�s true-crime mockumentary series
that follows documentarians Peter and Sam as they bring their
investigative skills to explore the aftermath of over the top high school pranks such as
the phallic vandalism of teachers cars or viral video
poop related pranks in school cafeterias. Hilariously original and quirky American Vandal
really accomplishes what it sets out to be- a realistic
mockumentary of �true crimes documentaries� with enough tongue in cheek humor to keep
you entertained for hours.
Sure the series content may be a bit silly and infantile at times, but that doesn�t
stop it from been a genuinely thought-provoking mystery which
really does offer an interesting plot with some highly
memorable characters. American Vandal manages to succeed at been
a comedy while subtly addressing some fairly serious
social commentary. 12. Ozark Netlfix orignal series
The series follows Marty Byrde, a financial adviser who lives in Chicago with his wife
and kids. Living relatively normal lives everything is the
status quo, that is until things go awry with a Mexican drug
cartel and Marty and his family have to quickly relocate to Ozark Missouri in order to launder
$500 million to appease a drug boss.
Underrated by critics, showing that sometimes they just don�t always get it right Ozark
is a highly satisfying crime drama with an equally complex
plot. The writing for this series really is spot on with
every twist and big event, especially for the 1st seasons finally where it just leaves
it�s main characters caught between a rock and a hard place.
Engaging and consistently entertaining with it�s tense and tight plot, Ozark is a must
see show for fans of engrossing crime dramas. In which their main
characters are constantly coming across these larger than
life problems and somehow able to circumvent them but at a heavy cost. Easily one of my
favorite series on Netflix, if you haven�t seen Ozark yet,
by all means check it out. 13. Narcos Netlfix orignal series
Netflix�s biographical crime drama tells the true-life story of the growth and spread
of cocaine drug cartels across the world during the 1970s.
The first two season look into the criminal exploits of the
Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar as well the point of view of an American agent sent
to stop him. And the third season focuses on the DEA against
the Cali cartel while Narcos Mexico looks into the birth of
the Mexican drug war in the 1980s. How to do a Tv series right, Narcos is a series
that boasts great writing, acting and high quality
cinematography. But I think what makes this series so good is that it evenly portrays
both sides of the law so your not just experiencing the story
from one perspective. That and it doesn�t glorify the
tyrannical drugs lords, instead it just reveals how ruthless these men were and what unethical
things they did, to get to the top.
Definitely a series you should watch if you are into this gritty crime thrillers, Narcos
is an excellent and realist show that highlights how power can
truly corrupt a person. 14. Sex Education Netlfix orignal series
This series follows a socially awkward teenager called Otis. Who is unsure & worried about
his sex life, despite his mother being a sex therapist.
After unintentionally aiding a school bully with his sexual
performance anxiety. Otis with the help of his friend Maeve, set up a sex advice business.
To educate their fellow students in how to deal with
their own sexual issues while making a tidy profit.
Sex Education really is a must see series for 2019 I mean this is one of those deceptive
shows that most adults aged 30 and up would probably never
consider watching. And if I�m honest I had zero interest in
watching this series. That is however until I watched the first 20 minutes.. And from
that point onwards I knew I would love this show! With it�s great
acting, funny characters and gorgeous cinematography. I guess one way to sum up sex education would
to describe it as a modern british version of a John
Hughes film. Sure some of the plot twists are a little bit predictable but that really
is a minor nitpick in the grander scheme of things. Season 2 has
been confirmed and I honestly can�t wait. So check out
season one if you want to see a fun and highly entertaining series with great characters
- and I promise you won�t regret it.
15. Stranger Things Netlfix orignal series Set in Indiana during the 80s. Stranger things
1st season revolves around, the sudden disappearance of
a young boy called-Will. Unfortunately for Will only a police chief, his mother and his
best friends think he�s still-alive- and together they must
confront a terrifying & mysterious force in order to get him-back.
But the more they search for answers, the further they are drawn into an extraordinary
mystery involving government experiments and one strange-girl.
Effectively a period piece that perfectly captures the U.S. during the early 80s, Stranger
Things is clearly inspired by the works of Stephen king and
Steven Spielberg, where right of the bat you know you�re
going to be in for one hell of a-ride. I think it�s the combination of the dark and creepy
introduction credits and location -- to the great child
acting and direction that gives this series such a strong
immersive start. I mean as soon you start watching it, it really
does hook you right in, where you just feel invested in
characters and story right from episode one. Now while I wouldn't say it�s 2nd season
is quite as tight as the 1st, Stranger things is meant to be at
least 4 season in length and with the 3rd season scheduled to be out this July lets
just hope it holds up to its 1st seasons impressive standards.
