Big Mouth - season 3

The third season of Big Mouth was the first to allow its characters to start on equal terms and the quality of the show has increased significantly. While the first two seasons found tension and humor in their characters, season three kicks off with all the monsters and hormonal ghouls out there having fun in the chaos that only a high school fully stocked with growing teens can cause.

Orange Is The New Black – Season 7

While it was clear that the women of Litchfield would never have a “happy ending,” creator Jenji Kohan used the show’s final episodes to do the best thing — bring home to each viewer the show’s central message of hope and change.

Facing anti-immigrant prejudice and the #MeToo movement in its final hours, OITNB stayed true to its ever-evolving relevance, bidding goodbye to the women who made this incredible show.

The Politician

This series shows what happens when the Netflix gives Ryan Murphy all the money in the world and tells him to do what's good. I mean, it's a good TV series. The unpredictable world of high ambition, low empathy and the occasional musical number seems to come from another dimension, where Ben Platt and Gwyneth Paltrow shine in the roles they were born to play.

The show's out-of-control beats and bizarre twists occur at a breakneck pace, which makes it both overwhelming and fun.

Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj

A Netflix may be known for popularizing the compulsion for new series and movies for content streaming, but one of the service's best original series is distributed in weekly portions.

Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj was created to make you angry. The good kind of anger. Each episode explores one of the many ills of our ailing society, filling it with information and arming you with the tools to channel your righteous anger in productive directions. This only works because of Minhaj, an electric presence who speaks with authority and peppers with enough humor to keep matters as dry as public transport problems and student loan anxiety continually interesting.

Tuca & Bertie

Tuca & Bertie it was the adventure we needed but didn't know we deserved. In May, cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt presented subscribers with the wonderful world of two best bird friends (voiced impeccably by Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wong), battling adulthood in the big bird city.

With the boyfriend speckle (Steven Yeun) by your side, bertie faced her anxieties and traumas as Tuca embraced responsibility and identity. It was an exciting, inclusive, and sex-positive delight that championed female storytelling and Hanawalt's unique voice and style.

Mindhunter – Season 2

Adapting the essence of the criminal world to the TV universe is a complicated matter. in the second season of Mindhunter, creator Joe Penhall shows us how it's done. Introducing the true story of the disturbing Atlanta child murders in the narrative relevance of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, Mindhunter uses the strength of its magnetic cast - including stars Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv - to shed new light on one of the most baffling court miscarriages in American history.

Appropriately sensitive and timely, Mindhunter season two examines our modern behaviors throughout the 70s with remarkable delicacy.

GLOW – season 3

This is the series of the ladies of American wrestling! The dazzling third season of GLOW delivered a bunch of adored things in this series: timing chic-smart comic, devastating dramatic twists, screen time for stars Betty Gilpin and Alison Brie, female-rich narratives, a bunch of flashy costumes – hell, we even got a wrestling-themed Christmas special and a guest seat. by Geena Davis!

GLOW proved its staying power every minute of its gripping third season, and we can't wait for more. If that doesn't say good TV, what would?

living with yourself

This series starring Paul Rudd (the "Ant-Man" of the Marvel Universe) that devastated the programming of Netflix in 2019, living with yourself it's unlike any sci-fi series you've ever seen. Yes, you can compare the cloning plot with Black Mirror ou Orphan Black, and creator Timothy Greenberg isn't breaking new ground on the existentialism front; still, the shiny Rubik's Cube that is this little comedy drama deserves our praise and attention.

Viciously baffling, the world of Miles Elliot, Miles Elliot and his wife (their?) Kate (Aisling Bea) is remarkable. With more twists and turns than most series see in their entire series, living with yourself It's a promising gem with even better fingers crossed to come.

Russian Doll

it would be easy to say that Russian Doll it's just a darker version of the classic movie “Time Spell”. But as simple as this may seem, this comparison also underestimates the excellence of this original from the Netflix in 2019. This time story starring Natasha Lyonne doesn't easily compare to anything else.

The formula of the Bill Murray classic has already entered the realm of cliché storylines, but in truth, the endless cycle of death and rebirth of each episode of The Russian Doll defies comparison. This is a standout role for Lyonne, whose performance elevates the series from clever idea to must-see TV.

When They See Us

project more culturally significant than the Netflix launched this year, When They See Us, by Ava DuVernay, revisits the famous case of Central park five in excruciating detail. Examining the wrongful convictions of five black and Latin Americans for the rape of a woman in 1989 – for which they would be exonerated more than a decade later – this moving and true crime miniseries offers a moving look at the failings of our justice system.

Not just a spectacular sight, When They See Us highlights the insidious prejudices that plague our society and the vulnerable people who are at risk.

Starring Henry Cavill, aka Superman, in the lead role, the series based on the books follows a lone monster hunter, who struggles to find his place in a world where people are often more evil than beasts.
