There are many hidden gems on Netflix, some of them being Netflix originals, while others are simply British television shows, here are 5 shows that I’ve seen that are absolutely a must for Netflix viewers.
1. 3%
If you followed the Hunger Game chronicles, 3 percent is definitely a show you would enjoy. It takes place in the future, and the concept of doing what you have to in order to survive is present in this show as well. When babies are born, there are signed up by their parents to partake in the Process, which is long drawn out series of events that candidates must go through in order to reach the Off Shore however, they are told at the beginning that only 3% of them that have qualified, due to the combination of being registered and reaching the age of 20, will only make it to the Off Shore (the utopia that everyone from the Inland aims to reach through the Process).
2. Black Mirror
This show has the suspense of a horror movie in each and every episode, and if that is your kind of thing, this is without a doubt a show for you. The greatest component of the show is that none of the episodes connect. They each purposely tell a story from beginning to end and when the next story begins it is a completely different story.
3. Stranger Things
Since its release, this television show has taken over the internet. If you have a Tumblr account, you most likely did watch the show out of curiosity and got hooked because it was just that good. The show is about a boy in middle school who life changes after one of his close friends goes missing and they must work together in order to find him and rescue him. His mother even begins to connect the dots about where he went and even eventually helps her son’s friends to find him.
4. Chewing Gum
This show tells the story of a 24 year old virgin who begins to think about the possibilities of changing that. Her family (especially her mother and sister) are extremely religious so has to keep it a secret. The man who she was dating for many years even begins to bore her due to the fact that he doesn’t ever show interest of taking things to a sexual level. Eventually she meets someone new who shows a lot of interest in her and she is more than open to seeing where thins unfold from there.
5. Orange Is The New Black
Last but definitely not least, If you have not taken the time to at least give this show a try, now is time. The show tells the story of a young women who’s thrill of past catches up with her and ends up sending her to prison. While serving her time, she meets interesting people who become her friend along the way, while also finding out more about herself than she ever noticed before. Eventually the truth comes out about how she ended up in prison and the women, who introduced her to the life earlier in her years, ends up at the same prison as well.
