The sibling superheroes are trying to reunite to solve the mystery of their father’s death and the threat of an imminent apocalypse. The Umbrella Academy is full of drama and suspense, and it is no surprise that it has a fourth season which is its’ final.
Money Heist
One of Spain’s most popular shows, Money Heist, or La Casa de Papel as it’s called in the country, was written by Álex Pina. The story revolves around a band of robbers who want to seize control of Spain’s Royal Mint to create their own currency. In a parallel world, it is easy to try and imagine a world where getting away with a financial crime is possible. In this television show, a team of nine criminals have planned the biggest, probably most insane heist ever and are determined to pull it off, but something has to go wrong. In their case, their mastermind might be at fault. Money heist is everything an action series requires; plot twists and tension-filled. Be careful, though; the six-season Netflix series is enough to keep you glued to your television for days.
The Queen’s Gambit
Whether it is a game or the real world, life is about survival, and the Queen’s Gambit precisely portrays that. You can watch an orphan chess prodigy with drug and alcohol issues try to win duels with Russians in Moscow. The Queen’s Gambit is the stylish and gripping seven-part Netflix series that would have you trying to learn the art of chess playing if you don’t already know it. The gratifying nature of “The Queen’s Gambit” is primarily due to the character Taylor-Joy presents to the screen: a charming, beautiful freak who delivers her words with a chilly, wintergreen snap and never really reacts in the way one might expect.
Orange Is The New Black
This Netflix original series was adapted from a book with the same title. The series shows a white, middle-class Brooklynite jailed in a low-security women’s jail for a crime committed about ten years before. With her power suits replaced by prison orange, Chapman navigates the prison system and learns to adapt to her new environment, eventually making friends with some of the most bizarre inmates imaginable. The show’s use of flashbacks in exploring life in prison made it a hit that spawned seven full seasons. Orange is the new black is a compelling comedy series that would have you staying up late for days.
