Netflix has pumped out some amazing television this year. You might even say, “2015 is the year of Netflix”! Steadily building a strong network following that rivals any network on the planet. The Netflix format brought about the insanely popular term…
Binge Watching!Â
I am a big fan of binge watching. But sometimes, I’m so engrossed in a show, I’ll miss a lot of important stuff. I decided to go back and re-binge on my three favorite Netflix series. Here they are in no particular order.
1. Orange Is The New Black – Jenji Kohan’s comedy/drama is one of the best written series about women… ever! Smart, funny and an oddly moral center that helps you relate and gravitate towards the characters. Season 3 deserves a second viewing. Not that I’m biased, but I did get an amazing opportunity to go to #OrangeCon in New York City this past June and witness the series premier.Â
2. Daredevil – Netflix was given the daunting job of bringing some of Marvel’s most loved characters to the small screen. The first of these was Daredevil. Matt Murdock is a attorney by day and vigilante by night. Blinded in an accident as a child, Murdock uses his heightened senses to fight crime on the streets of New York after the sun goes down. Exciting and dark, Netflix carved out their own section of the Marvel Universe by crafting well layered stories. Daredevil also features some of the best action sequences of 2015 that are worth a second viewing
3. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - Ellie Kemper (“The Office,†“Bridesmaidsâ€) is one of the funniest and most lovable TV characters to come along in a couple of years. She plays Kimmy Schmidt, a woman who is rescued from a doomsday cult and starts life over as a nanny for a socialite (Jane Krakowski from “30 Rockâ€) in New York City. Armed with just a backpack, light-up sneakers and a couple of past-due library books, she takes on a world she didn’t think even existed anymore. The Reason I had to re-binge this one is because I laughed so hard the first time, I missed half the series! Also, the second funniest character on television is on this show. Tituss Burgess as Titus Andromedon is comic gold!
If you have nothing going on this week and a little extra time on your hands. Re-binge some of your favorite Netflix series, you’ll be surprised. There’s a lot of great stuff you might have missed!
