Everyone loves Netflix. From the most popular movies to their wildly popular original series like "Orange is the New Black" and the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," there's something for everyone. There's also a whole hidden world of shows and movies to be discovered. Here are 10 of my favorite shows on Netflix that do not get enough attention.
1. "Wentworth"
Similar to "Orange is the New Black," "Wentworth" is an Australian drama about a women's prison, but with a lot more drama and suspense. From prison staff corruption to a turf war on heroin, "Wentworth" is addicting. The characters are also so much more dynamic.
2. "Moonrise Kingdom"
A couple of twelve-year-olds fall in love and run away together. Set in the 60's on an island off the coast of New England, the movie features an aesthetic vibe that makes it hard to believe the movie is from 2012! An artistic film that is funny and so sweet.
3. "Hurricane Bianca"
When a new science teacher in Texas is fired for being gay, he comes back disguised as Ms. Del Rio, the sassy teacher who is here to teach the students science and acceptance. This movie stars Bianca Del Rio, the winner of season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race, and has other fabulous personalities like RuPaul, Margaret Cho, Shangela, William, and others.
4. "GLOW: Inside the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling."
You've probably seen the Netflix original series "GLOW," but have you seen the 2012 documentary it's based on? The documentary goes over the 80's phenomenon of women's wrestling, including the crazy costumes and slightly offensive personas.
5. "Grace and Frankie"
Their husbands have been having an affair with each other for years, and now they live together in Grace's beach house. This show is so funny, and it's really refreshing to see a show about 70-year-old women and their issues.
6. "The Keepers"
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS SERIES MORE?! "The Keepers" is a documentary series about the cold case of the murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, and the citizen sleuths who go into a church conspiracy to uncover what happened. It's riveting, wild, and unbelievable.
7. "Girlboss"
Another Netflix Original with not enough love. The series is based on the book by Sophia Amoruso, the CEO of Nasty Gal clothing. Sophia is ambitious and never gives up on what she wants, even if it means not having a steady job. RuPaul is also in this series as Sophia's weed smoking TSA worker neighbor, and he does a fantastic job.
8. "Blackfish"
In 2010, Dawn Brancheau, a trainer at Seaworld, was killed in an accident with Tilikum, the orca whale. However, Dawn was not the only person that Tilikum had killed. The documentary follows Tilikum's life and offers theories on his violent tendencies. It also goes in depth on the corruption and animal abuse of Seaworld parks.
9. "Paris is Burning"
The 1990 documentary covers the Harlem Drag culture, and it's a staple documentary for drag culture and queer theory alike.
10. "Jesus Camp"
Have you ever seen a cult gathering? That's pretty much what this documentary is. Children are sent to this extremest evangelist camp, and the results are pretty intense.
There you have it! The best things on Netflix right now that no one is talking about. Happy watching!
