Top 20 Best
Netflix show to watch in 2021
A year after the pandemic began, it's March again. It might
feel like everything and nothing has changed all at once; you may think you've
watched everything there is to watch while you wait for the world to reopen
again. Think again, though, because there are always more good shows to watch
on Netflix, if you look hard enough.
Netflix is the best way to enjoy and entertain yourself when
you are free and bored. There are many shows on Netflix and other platforms which
are best in their class and must-watch shows for everyone. We usually know what is coming out on Netflix every
week because this is our job, and yet most nights, we still wind up scrolling
aimlessly for longer than we’d like to admit.
Here are the Top 20 Best
Netflix show to watch in 2021
- Murder among the Mormons
Perhaps the niche world of rare Mormon document dealing does not immediately come to mind when you think of criminals, bombs, and murder. But Murder Among the Mormons, a new docuseries from filmmakers Tyler Measom and Jared Hess, is an unbelievable tale of crime and deception that shook the Latter-day Saints Church in 1985 Salt Lake City, and it will undoubtedly shock you, too.
Lupin

A french-language thriller that was the talk of the internet following its
release, Lupin is based on the adventures of classic character, thief Arsene
Lupin, who wants to avenge the death of his father. The show is absolutely
captivating thanks to its style, daring heists, and Omar Sy, the show's
charismatic lead anyone would rob a bank for. There are few Netflix shows as
well constructed and bingable.
Firefly Lane

Want to totally absorb yourself in the story of two best friends—played by Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke—who met as teenagers and watch the way their lives (and their loves) have continued to be entwined well into adulthood? Those who firmly believe in the power of female friendship (and a good ‘80s flashback) will love Firefly Lane, which is streaming now
Bridgerton

Even a
casual soapy drama can be decadent if prepared properly. As is the case with
Bridgerton, the first fruit of the deal that Netflix signed with show-runner
Shonda Rhimes (Grey's Anatomy). The cleverly-written and beautifully-produced
series tracks Daphne, a young socialite debuting in the London scene. Each episode has an ending that will leave you clicking "Play" again, so
beware it's not the longest season.
THE MINIMALISTS: LESS IS
NOW

If
you’re looking to declutter your life, then this documentary is a must-watch.
The premise is simple—what stuff is actually essential? Friends Joshua Fields
Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus explore the concept “Less Is More” in this film centered
on minimalism. Not to mention, it’s only 53 minutes long.

In Pretend
It’s A City, the viewer traverses and discovers New York City with the
guidance of legendary writer and humorist Fran Lebowitz. In a series of
conversations with Martin Scorsese, the documentary serves as both a roast and
celebration of New York’s quirks, crannies, and foul smells with love and
honesty.
7.
Girlfriends

This
popular mid-2000s comedy follows four ambitious women as they seek love,
success, and more in Los Angeles. All close friends, these leading ladies face
common challenges and pitfalls in the funniest ways possible, always supporting
each other through them all. With the delightful Tracee Ellis Ross as one of
the four stars and eight great seasons to watch, this is the uplifting comedy
your March needs.
8.
Emily in Paris

If the eponymous heroine of Emily in Paris seems to talk, act and dress like a
millennial Carrie Bradshaw, there’s a reason for that — series creator
Darren Star also masterminded Sex and the City. Emily is a Chicago marketing
manager who scores a sweet gig in her dream city. Unfortunately, her new boss,
Sylvie and her co-workers are a nightmare. While Paris fashionistas are sneering
at the rom-com take on Paris and fashion, both Emily and the show are
irresistibly charming and fun. And we say “oui, oui” to the handsome eye candy
who prove Paris really is the city of lust, er, love.
9. The One

What
would happen if scientists were able to use your DNA to find the perfect
partner for you? This series explores what that future might look like… and
it’s not necessarily going to lead to fairy-tale romance. The One is
streaming on March 12.
1 Fate: The Winx Saga

Fate:
The Winx Saga is Netflix’s new teen drama series inspired by the Nickelodeon
animated series Winx Club. In it, fairies attend a magical boarding school
where they learn to master their powers while balancing their friendships, love
lives, and fighting monsters. You know, all the normal high school stuff. The
cliffhanger at the end of the six episodes will certainly leave you awaiting a
Season Two announcement.
1 The Haunting of Bly Manor

The
follow-up season to The Haunting of Hill House (totally
different story, lots of the same actors) is as compelling and layered as its
predecessor. It's scary, yes, but also has a lot to say about love and loss and
the traumas we carry with us.
PIECES OF A WOMAN

Just
when we thought Vanessa Kirby couldn’t top her performance as Princess Margaret
on The Crown, she took on a lead role in this powerful drama that center’s around a Boston woman who is grieving the loss of her
first child during a home birth gone wrong. If you don’t want to just take the word for it, Rotten Tomatoes gave it an impressive 78 percent.
Cobra Kai

Yes,
almost unbelievably, Cobra Kai — the Karate Kid spin-off show that debuted on
YouTube Premium and is now on Netflix — is great. The series stays rooted in
the original concept and characters, beginning with Johnny Lawrence re-opening
the Cobra Kai dojo as a way to try and right his erring ways. Meanwhile, Daniel
LaRusso may be thriving professionally, but he's still dealing with the absence
of Mr. Miyagi. Season 3 is so good that we're already looking forward to the
next batch.
The Eddy

This
Eddy delivered on the promise of its international caliber. Written by
screenwriting supremo Jack Thorne and with episodes directed by Damien
Chazelle, Houda Benyamina, Laïla Marrakchi and Alan Poul, This is a gritty yet
vibrant bop around the Paris jazz scene.
André Holland plays Elliot, the struggling manager of a Parisian nightclub.
However, his business partner owes some people some money, and things quickly
become even more difficult. And then Elliot's estranged daughter, Julie, shows
up. It’s one thing after another, but this music-enthused series grooves at its
own tempo, slowing things down for reflection and, of course, a few jam
sessions.
Queer Eye

There
aren't many shows that are able to make you cry every episode. Queer Eye
happens to be one of those. The reality show follows five men from the LGBTQ+
community as they makeover a different person – or, as they are called on the
show, "hero" – each episode. The Fab Five all have different
specialty areas (food, fashion, culture, design, and grooming) and very
different personas.
The Last Dance

ESPN's
Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance appeals to fans and non-fans alike
thanks to personalities that jumped off the screen. The focus may primarily be
on the battle of Jordan and Phil Jackson against the front office, but Dennis
Rodman's shocking personality (for that era) and disinterest in practice, and
Scottie Pippen's work in MJ's shadow are both entertaining aspects of the
series.
Unsolved Mysteries

Netflix’s reboot of the classic true-crime docuseries puts a slick spin on the original.
The narration may be gone, but the new episodes still tell fascinating,
spine-tingling tales of missing persons, murder, and even UFO sightings. In the
new Unsolved Mysteries, each episode focuses on one case, which makes the
narrative more compelling and the characters more fleshed-out. But warning: You
may have trouble sleeping — either because you’re so creeped out or you
fall down a Reddit theory whole.
How to Get Away with Murder

More
cautionary tale than a how-to guide, this addictive series (also from Shonda Rhimes,
for Bridgerton fans) follows a powerful lawyer and law
professor and a select group of her students as they become entangled with
various murders and crimes. Sometimes they're committing the crimes and
sometimes they're defending the criminals in court—all six seasons of this
series currently on Netflix keep viewers hooked.
Dear White People

If
you've wondered where the hilarious satire has gone, you may have let Dear
White People fly under your radar. The series focuses on race relations in
America, providing viewpoints from a college campus that has a terrible
history and is still not where it should be yet — much like this country
itself.
