Netflix Recommendations
I am a big ‘TV-on-in-the-background’ person. I’ll put it on while I work, while I cook, while I clean, etc. As a result, I’ve accumulated a huge number of Netflix recommendations (and anti-recommendations), and I’m going to share them here!
This post is going to focus specifically on Netflix shows rather than movies just because that’s where my knowledge and expertise lie. I’ve broken up shows into categories for easier reading: casual/comedy, competition, reality, short series, and serious/intense. They’re also generally in order of most liked to least liked.
