The 10 Most Underrated Shows On Netflix Right Now

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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
