My favourite series on Netflix


In today’s post I thought I could switch things up a little bit and talk about something that has nothing to do with books. I’m a self-confessed book lover and avid reader, I admit it, but I’m also passionate about a lot of other things and I particularly enjoy a good tv series. And that’s why today I want to talk to you about my top favourite Netflix series: 

“Grace & Frankie”. This one is my absolute favourite and it’s currently on it’s 5th season. It stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, together they are the funniest people ever. Their characters, respectively Frankie and Grace are very different and they’ve never gotten along, but something unexpectedly pushed them together: their husbands are in love with each other and want a divorce. This is exactly what brings the two very different women together. This series tackles a lot of serious topic but in such a funny way that you’re gonna love it too. Don’t be put off by the idea of not enjoying a series where the main characters are elderly, because you’re gonna miss out on one of the greatest series.

“The Crown”. Now do I even have to say anything about this one? Are there still people who haven’t watched it or at least heard about it? I’m a fan of anything related to the Royal Family, like many around the world, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out about the series. The third season should come out this year and the expectations are very high, considering how amazing the first two seasons have been. If you have never heard of it (even thought I highly doubt it) this series follows the life of Queen Elizabeth II, each decade of her reign corresponds to each season. I even own the book of the first season titled “The Crown. The Inside Story” by Robert Lacey which contains extensive research and additional material.

“The Ranch”. This one is structured a bit differently compared to the others, three seasons are currently available to watch but each season consists of two parts of ten episodes each, so it’s basically like there are six seasons. This series follows the life of the Bennet family, they live on a ranch in a fictional town in Colorado and they are for sure a very dysfunctional family. I have to say that the first four parts were mainly funny with some serious content here and there, but I found that the last two parts have been more and more serious and a bit less funny. Also to note: after the accusations against Danny Masterson, who played Rooster, Netflix removed him from the series so in the latest part he is not in the series anymore.

“Alexa & Katie”. I started watching this one because I was in need of something light and funny to watch, like some sort of comfort show. And this series provided that and so much more, thanks to the many serious topics that underline each episode. This series follows the life of Alexa and Katie (respectively played by Paris Berelc and Isabel May), two lifelong best friend and neighbours, that are about to start their first year of high school. But things aren’t smooth for these two, Alexa is diagnosed with cancer and they’re left navigating high school whilst dealing with this scary illness. 

Have you watched any of this series on Netflix? If so what did you think? And what are your favourite series to watch on Netflix?
