Best Netflix shows to watch

Worn Stories

The new Netflix series Worn Stories is a documentary chronicling people’s favorite articles of clothing.

It’s amazing to see how many people become attached to articles of clothing. The items become part of you, a definition of you. The stories will touch your heart.

If you are like me and the people featured in the series, you have at least one article of clothing that is the piece you will never let go of. Each of us has our reasons, and this series takes a deep dive into the meanings behind the clothing or accessories.

Big Time Rush

You may remember Big Time Rush from Nickelodeon in 2009. This boy band series is a fictional account of an actual band.

The real band consists of Carlos Pena Jr., Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, and Logan Henderson, and they play fictional versions of themselves, only changing up their last names. This series is a teen comedy that is sure to delight more than just teens.

All four seasons of the series are available to stream, and the movie Big Time Movie as well. The series also features a long list of guest stars that you are sure to recognize.

Nailed it! Double Trouble

If you are a fan of the series Nailed It! be sure to check out the new twist in the spinoff Nailed It! Double Trouble. 

This competition series will feature teams of two who are trying to impress the judges to win $10,000. The teaming up of bakers might not be the greatest idea, as you can see in the official trailer.

It looks like the teams idea might be hurting the competition as they seem to be fighting against one another. But, it also adds some more comedy to the series.

It looks like a fun one to check out.

The Serpent

This Netflix original, The Serpent, is based on true events that took place in the 70s by serial killer Charles Sobhraj (Tahar Rahim).

This limited true-crime series looks at the horrifying crimes that Sobhraj committed. He preyed on the hippy kids who were searching for adventure in Asia. He would befriend them, then rob and often times murder them. He then travels using their credentials and traveler’s checks, allowing him to stay under the radar.

The story is told from multiple perspectives, including Sobhraj, his lover Marie-Andree LcClerc (Jenna Coleman), his victims and Herman Knippenberg (Billy Howle), a man obsessed with making sure Sobhraj pays for his crimes.

Stranger Things

This is series that most people have watched, but it always a good one to come back to. Stranger Things has an amazing nostalgic feel to it, and the storyline gets better each season.

One day, we will get a new season, so you should re-watch to keep the story fresh in your mind.

This series combines coming of age, horror, conspiracy theories and adventure to create a unique story with a multigenerational appeal. If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend you do.

Have a great weekend, and check Netflix Life next weekend for our next list of suggestions for Netflix shows.
