Life has been a bit of a whirlwind for me this last month and I am ashamed to admit that I am not watching a lot of new things on Netflix. My list, however, its looking pretty extensive. Today, I thought I'd share some of the cool programmes and films sitting on my watchlist, just begging to be enjoyed. Hopefully it'll give me the motivation to actually go and watch them, and maybe you'll find something new too!
"Sophia, a misfit, discovers a passion for fashion, becoming an unlikely businesswoman in the process. As her business grows, however, she as to learn to cope with her life as her own boss. This show is loosely based on the true story of Nasty Gal Founder, Sophia Amoruso" - IMDB
Quirky? Sassy? Fashion? Online business woman? I am so in. I've watched a few episodes so far and while I'm not hooked, I am enjoying it. Sophia may come across a little obnoxious and dramatic but she's also witty and creative which I find really inspiring, and lets face it, those more 'negative' traits are probably only seen that way, because we are not used to seeing such powerful and uncompromising business women on TV, but that's another debate for another time. Either way, I need to make an effort to find more time to fit this show into my life, after all Sophia's business is a success, so there must be some lessons for me to learn in her story.
"The Discovery"
"Science, suicide and the meaning of life weave together in this mind-bending mystery; it all comes down to love." - Netflix
Mystery, science, death, love, Jason Segel? Yep, I'm in. Even the trailer just looks so well put together. Give it a watch as I'm not sure what else to say besides the fact that I need to find a quiet evening to tuck myself away and disappear into this.
"13 Reasons Why"
"Follows teenager Clay Jensen, in his quest to uncover the story behind his classmate and crush, Hannah, and her decision to end her life." - IMDB
Let's be real, you've probably already heard of this, nay, watched it already. But I still haven't. I did watch the first episode a few weeks ago, again, wasn't hooked, but these things take time. I've heard so many great things about this series too that I feel like I am missing the zeitgeist if I don't get involved in a show that covers such a current topic.
"Iron Fist"
"Danny Rand resurfaces 15 years after being presumed dead. Now, with the full power of the Iron Fist, he seeks to reclaim his past and fulfil his destiny." - Netflix
This went straight on my list after enjoying Netflix's original "Marvel's Jessica Jones" series and absolutely LOVING it but I've still not actually bothered to press play yet. I did the same with Jessica Jones, it sat on my list for months before actually watching but then I was completely hooked once I started. I get the feeling I will be the same with this series, there's something about the Marvel universe that I really quite like, with all these extra-ordinary people colliding in each other's stories. Also the whole idea of having 'super powers' is a really cool idea to explore and thrilling to watch... Okay, fully convinced myself to watch this now, kthxbye.
Have you seen any of these? If you have please let me know your thoughts, I'd love to hear them!
