My Netflix account has logged MANY hours since 2020. Currently I am in-between series and have yet to commit to a new one. Before diving into a new series with a plate of cookies, I wanted to share (maybe exchange) a list of Netflix show/series recommendations that I have really enjoyed.

Watched show List

Bridgerton

• Think Pride and Prejudice meets Gossip Girl
• In the first season, I will say that the main character has her moments and I wouldn’t blame anyone who accidentally tripped her.
• The first season was really good, the second was rather disappointing, but the third one had a nice little comeback

Cable Girls

• Takes Place in metropolitan Spain during the late 1920s
• Dubbed in English, would suggest watching with subtitles too
• Love, sex and your daily dose of scandal

Emily in Paris

• Love the concept, can’t stand her! As per the words of my uncle, “she’s the worst part of the whole show”. I rest my case.
• Think of it as a cheap knock off of SATC and Gossip Girl
• That being said, I watched the entire first and second season and will shamelessly watch the third one. I may be missing Paris… and Milan.

Gossip Girl

• Labels and love, nearly a Sex and the City prerequisite
• An upper east sider refresher for the upcoming HBO Reboot
• Blair or Sabrina?

Grand Hotel

• Situated in a luxurious Spanish hotel between 1905 and 1910
• Can only watch with subtitles unless you’re fluent in Spanish (I am not)
• Ruthless suspense meets passion + romance

Next in Fashion

• Unlike Project Runway, the designers are already established in their fashion careers
• Tan France makes up for the lack of Christian Siriano
• I would watch the third season if released

Peaky Blinders

• Begins on the cusp of the 1920s in England
• A little bit of everything: politics, war, family business, gangsters, gypsies, revenge, sex, gambling… even diamonds
• If I were quarantined back home, Dad and I would be watching this with JD

The Great Canadian Baking Show

• As co-host, Dan Levy is the cherry on top of season one
• Warning, you may crave cake or feel like an inadequate baker… or both!
• Would love if Netflix would also post the original British version

The Queen’s Gambit 

• The main character and her story is certainly intriguing
• Trust me, you do not have to be an avid chess player to understand what is going on
• Pretty much an underdog story, but with chess and an unexpected touch of glamour

Unwatched Show List

• The Crown
• Bonfire of Destiny
• Velvet
• Rebellion
• The English Game
• Charite
• The Last Czars 

If you have any Netflix favourites or recommendations, I’d love to read them in the comment section below. Please, stay safe and well.
