It’s a wild ride from start to finish!

Orange is the New Black focuses on the trials and tribulations of a group of women who are prisoners in Litchfield prison. With first-rate acting and compelling storylines, it is up there as one of the best TV shows. Ever.
Russian Doll
Russian Doll features Natasha Lyonne as a woman who keeps dying and reliving the same party. She finds herself in some wild scenarios as she tries to avoid the grisly deaths someone has planned for her.
Mindhunter
Mindhunter is set in the late 1970s and focuses on two FBI agents who aim to expand criminal science by delving into the psychology of murder and get a little too close to some of history’s most notorious killers in the process.

The End of the F—ing World
The End of the Fucking World brings a budding teen psychopath and a rebel hungry for an adventure together. They go on the run when a murder goes down. It’s a dark comedy done right.
One Day at a Time
There was outrage from viewers when this show was canceled, and for good reasons. It is a heartwarming tale of a newly single Latina mother who raises her children with the help of her mother. Thankfully, there are three full seasons on Netflix, but you’ll need to have Pop TV to watch the rest.
Dear White People
Students of color navigate the daily slights and slippery politics of life at an Ivy League college that’s not nearly as ‘post-racial’ as it thinks. It’s a comical series that will leave you wanting more!
Big Mouth
Netflix was looking for a flagship animated series, and it found it with Big Mouth. It’s all about adolescent teenagers who are trying to handle the pressures of being, well, a teenager.
The Haunting of Hill House
Horror TV shows generally struggle with poor plotting and weak acting. The Haunting of Hill House breaks the mold, with a genuinely freaky plot and horrors that will scare viewers so much they won’t be able to sleep.
