Five Netflix Series to Binge-Watch


By Marilena Kagkaraki,

Netflix has really been a comfort to a lot of people lately and it is not without a reason. There are some good series that may be worth your while and help you learn, think and mostly enjoy the time spent on watching them. So, here are five suggestions on what series you can start binge-watching next:

Brooklyn 9-9

Officer Jake Peralta and his crew at the Brooklyn 9-9 Precinct of the New York Police Department are always up for tackling the challenges of the job. We are looking into how the crew manages their every day-to-day tasks and cases they have. Andy Samberg is great in the role which earned him a Golden Globe Award. A classic American sitcom with a light breezy atmosphere and funny well-rounded characters. It is very easy to watch and definitely something for times you just want to relax.

The Last Kingdom

In the times where kingdoms were thriving and countries still fought for land, a story unfolds. Uhtred Ragnarsson is a Saxon-born in the kingdom of Wessex in England, but was raised by Danes after they attacked his homeland. Now, while Danes and Saxons fight for territorial supremacy in England, he has to make choices as he is the best soldier in these lands. Through his story we watch the battles as they unfold, we witness the power games and gain an understanding of the hierarchy between kings and peoples. The series covers the historical background of the times with a focus on the main character and his story that has a lot of twists and a very intriguing plot. A good watch if you are into action and period focused shows.
