Netflix was one of the best things that happened to all movie and series lovers. There has never been easier access to content and entertainment than today and consumers only benefit from it. This created an authentic race for streaming platforms and we now have a wide range of services to choose from with the appearance of Disney +, Amazon Prime, Apple TV +, etc ... Too much in my opinion, but let's not talk about it.
Netflix remains the most known and used service of this kind and it constantly presents us with high quality original content, so much that obviously some go unnoticed.
This list purpose is to recommend some of those lesser known and talked about shows that some people may have missed. So do not expect to find the super popular ones like Stranger Things, The Witcher or House of Cards for example. Although there may be some reasonably known shows here that you might have watched or heard about, the goal is to escape as much as possible from those.
So let's start:
Atypical (2017 - )
 |
| Atypical (2017 - ) |
Atypical is a family drama which explores the life of a 18 years old boy who has autism and the struggles he faces while entering adulthood.
It's not my favorite thing ever but it has some interest, especially if you would like to know more about this condition. Some scenes are pretty funny and heartwhelming.
The main problem I have with this show is the characters since I can't connect with any of them and don't find them likeable at all, apart from the main kid.
Anyway you should give it a try, it might be your kind of thing.
Big Mouth (2017 - )

| Big Mouth (2017 - ) |
Although Big Mouth is a series about kids, it is NOT a kids show!
It's a very sex-centric animated comedy, brutally honest and funny, about a group of pre-teens facing all the changes that come with puberty
I loved it! And if you are over 18 watch it. Because I'm sure it will make you laugh your ass off too.
Devilman Crybaby (2018)

El Dragon (2019 - )

| El Dragon (2019 -) |
El Dragon is a mexican series about a guy that was raised in Japan and has to come back to Mexico to take care of the family business, a drug cartel.
It's actually pretty enjoyable but don't expect mindblown action scenes or efects. It's very light and contained and has a very good mood and some cool characters. My favorite is the bad guy which is a very goofy man-child dude that works better as a comic character than an actual menace.
You (2018 -)

| You (2018 - ) |
Awesome series! I loved it! It's so smart and edgy... I just couldn't stop watching it!
I usually don't like shows or movies where the protagonist is the "bad guy" but this one is really really good.

Kipo and the age of Wonderbeasts (2020 -)

The most recent show on this list. Contrary to the other animated shows I mentioned, this one is truly a kids series. The animation is very good and It's a fun and enjoyable viewing for all family.
Dark (2017 -)

| Dark (2017 -) |
This one is pretty well known already but I guess a lot of people get turn off by the language. I know german is not the most ear-friendly idiom, but you'll get used to it.
You also have the dubbed version, but please don't do that to yourself, it's disrespecting to the show and it's cast. At least that's my opinion, I hate dubbing.
Levius (2019)

Normally I don't like CGI in Anime, so I thought I was gonna hate this one since it's totally digital animated. But it's actually quite good, at the end of the first episode I was already used to it and it didn't bothered me anymore.
The fights are awesomelly crafted and choreographed.
If you like boxing animes like Megalo Box or Hajime no Ippo, or if you simply like sports/action anime, I'm sure you'll find something that interests you in this series.
Sense 8 (2015-2018)

| Sense8 (2015-2018) |
Loved Sense8! Great diverse characters and cast, awesome action and narrative, and good acting.
The only complain I have is that they rushed the finale. But it's still great and worth watching.
Sex Education (2019 -)
 |
| Sex Education (2019 -) |
Probably the most known and well spoken show on this list. I liked the first season but didn't think it was nothing special. The second one though, was brilliant! I loved it and turned me into a big fan of the series!
A must watch for every teenager and a fun, interesting experience for everyone else.
