Let's be honest who isn't into Netflix. At the moment I love nothing more when I'm not reading is a series to watch... What is some of your best at the moment.

I'm loving Mind Hunter at the moment.

I came across a little series the other day whilst browsing (I was bored and didn’t want to get off the sofa 😂).

It’s called ‘Broken’ and has Sean Bean playing a catholic priest at a little community church. I’m not catholic myself but it’s a really moving story about him wrestling with his own past and beliefs while trying to support various members of the parish.

I should warn you, it has themes of sexual abuse, homophobia, racism, suicide, and violence. They’re all dealt with very well though and I’m amazed I haven’t come across more people who’ve watched it. Very well written and Sean Bean’s performance had me in tears at times!

Ohh this sounds so good. I watched a show similar afterlife. Which touched on these topics. I'll definitely have a go. I'm always on the look out.

Dirk Gently, Limitless and Lucifer are all very good. They are all detective shows, Dirk Gently is a wonderfully strange fantasy, Limitless is about a man who becomes very smart when he takes a drug called NZT and Lucifer is about the devil coming to Earth and learning how to be better. (It's worth a try)

Probably Violet Evergarden. If you're in for a feels trip in a ghostwriter's journey in a fictional post-war then go for it.

LOVE Mind Hunter... one of the best they've done! I also love Atypical and Dead to Me.

I really love "The Umbrella Academy", its second season is coming out later this year. I got into this show fairly recently, but was so impressed by it. While it features lots of cliches and tropes, they still manage to create an overall refreshing show, I like to think of the show as what would happen if Wes Anderson directed the X-men movies

Money Heist. I recommend this show to EVERYONE I talk to. It's in spanish, but subtitles never hurt anyone. There are currently 3 seasons, most likely going to be a fourth (since the 3rd ended on a cliffhanger), and each season is fast paced, packed full of action, emotions, twists, suspense. It's just a really, really great show. I'll be recommending it until the day I die.

Next in Fashion is a great fashion competition with Queer Eye's Tan France and Alexa Chung as hosts. My sister and I are OBSESSED.

It's so interesting to see all of the different styles for each challenge, and I love how the tone is positive and supportive instead of cutthroat.

Criminal Minds is so good. Also any of John Mulaney's specials are worth watching. Marriage story is also amazing.

The OA is so good! I really love that show. The second season isn't as good as the first one, but I still liked it. I'm hoping the third one comes out soon.
