Ciao!
It’s been a long time!
Because I love watching series, and right now
you can’t talk about good series without mentioning Netflix. In this post I
want to list all of original Netflix series I’ve ever watched completely till
their final episode and sort them by my own ranking! Here we go!
12. 3%
Genre: dystopia, young adult, drama
Origin: Brazil
It’s the first time I’ve watched Brazilian’s
series and because this series I just found out that they speak Portuguese and
not Spanish :D
If you enjoy reading dystopian novel or
watching dystopian movie like The Giver, Hunger Games, then you may like this
series. But The story is kinda different than any other dystopian series and
not that dark, because this story is more about survival in “exam” and it’s not
that cold blood hearted with many blood or killing and dying person (except for
the final part). Although there are many things that still unexplained about
this story’s world, I think this story is still okay for me with rating 7/10.
But the characters? I still can bear with them so 6/10.
11. American Vandal
Genre: young adult (high school life), mystery,
drama, comedy
Kinda similar to 13 reasons why, but it’s more
short and simpler version. Actually it’s like one of that documentary film
style thing. The main character is a student in school organization like
newspaper club (if I’m not wrong), he and his friend want to documentary the
investigation of the biggest vandalism’s culprit in their school. A mysterious
story with some cliché high school drama, but with some nice plot, so overall
it’s good. My rating, 7/10.
10. The OA
Genre: mystery, supernatural
I watched it long ago, so I kinda forget about
the detail but the story is about a girl who have been kidnapped with some
other person by a sociopath (?) guy. I forgot how she could escaped from the
kidnapper, but she will explain her kidnapped story to some her neighbors. And
later she knows why she escaped.
Actually, this series is weird, the most weird
Netflix series I’ve ever watched, maybe because there is some supernatural
thing in this story that I couldn’t understand what it’s all about. But
overall, I like this story. My rating: 7.5/10
9. 13 Reasons Why
Genre: young adult (high school life), mystery,
drama
Okay, do I still have to explain this series?
:D
It’s story about a dead Hanna Baker. A high
school girl who take her own life for some reasons. 13 reasons exactly. 13
reasons that she explained it herself in those tapes, the tapes that had been delivered
for every person that linked to her suicide.
I’m so glad it’s just a fiction so I can
comment my annoyed feeling for this main girl character. From the deepest of my
heart, Hanna is a little bit too sensational wannabe. Okay I’m sorry for her,
especially when those problems that still coming for her without any break, but
at some reasons, this girl is the one who messed up her own life. I mean how
can she date with some football players, and still can date or make any contact
with another one without thinking that those guys are same? So, if you like a
mysterious story and can bear yourself with some cliché suicidal high school
story. Here you go. My rating : 8/10
8. Dark
Genre: mystery, thriller, science fiction
My first time watching a Germany series.
I don’t know what to explain about this story,
but if you like Stranger Things, I think you gonna like this too. If Stranger
Things is about underworld, then it’s about time travel. But this story is more
twisted, and the characters are more darker than Stranger Things. Actually, the
plot is really good, it’s really thrilling but I hate the characters. None of
them is likeable. Especially for the main character’s Mother, how can she be so
depressed about one guy for many years. ☹ So
my rating : 8/10
7. Ozark
Genre: crime, mystery, thriller, drama
To save his life and his own family, a
financial advisor had to move with his family from Chicago to the lake region
of the Missouri Ozarks. He had a deal with the second largest drug cartel in
Mexico to do money laundry in Ozark. If you tired of sci-fi story, then crime
story is not too bad to try. But this story is different like many crime story,
there is no action, it’s purely about how cartel can make their money clean.
Overall I like it, it brings some new adventure and another knowledge to me :D
My rating: 8/10
6. The End of Fucking World
Genre: young adult (high school life), comedy,
drama
I’m just that kind of people who only wanted to
watch mystery, science fiction or thrill type story. So, when I see this series
’s summary, I don’t want to watch it. But curiosity beats me, so here we go.
This is the first British Netflix series I’ve ever watched (yes, I haven’t
watched The Crown yet). The story is simple, about a young out cast boy and a rebellious
young girl who want to runaway from their home. But for some reasons they made
a mistake, a huge mistake that make police searching for them.
I really love this, it’s so adorable and yet so
sad. If you love novel like Looking for Alaska, Will Grayson, and perks of
being wallflower. I think It’s perfect for you! It’s 8/10 from me.
Btw I still didn’t believe the final scene. wth
☹
5. Altered Carbon
Genre: action, science fiction, mystery
Set in the future where humans can be immortal
as long as their consciousness that stored in “stack” hasn’t been damaged. If
their own body no longer been able to use, they can use another body called
“sleeve” with moving their “stack” from the old body to the new one. After
being hibernated after 250 years in prison, Takeshi Kovach, the latest former
elite warrior a.k.a Envoch, being woken up to another “sleeve” by a wealthiest
man in the world to find out who murdered him.
Overall In my opinion, this story is good, I
enjoyed it. Also the main character is good looking anyway, even though it’s
not his real face hahaha. So if you like watch movie that take a place in kind-of-creepy-dark
future world with some action, then I recommend it for you. My raring: 8.3/10
4. Travelers
Genre: drama, mystery, science fiction
To prevents disastrous future of humanity,
human in the future finally discover how to send consciousness back through
time. They send their consciousness to 21th century at the peoples who just
about to died. These persons called “Travelers”, they worked as a team and
together they must complete the mission to save the future.
Thankfully because of writing this review I
remember I’ve watch the season 1 of this series, and just discover there’s a
season 2 and haven’t watch it yet :D . But overall the season 1 is good and the
story is cool too. So if you like watch some science fiction movie with a good
plot, here you go. My rating: 8.3/10. (may gonna edit it after I’ve watch the
season 2)
3. Money Heist
Genre: crime, action, drama
It’s one of the most unique robber crime story
I’ve ever watch. There is Professor, a mastermind of this whole robbery idea,
he recruited some famous criminal to his group. They spend a lot time to learn
and prepare for their robbery, but it’s not really a robbery actually. They
robed a museum with some students, visitors and employees, but they not
stealing any money, instead they created it with money-making machine in that
building. Actually it’s good idea :D but the problem is to make their perfect
escape plan they need some days. And no matter how prepared are you, anything
can goes wrong.
At the first time I watched this, shit I think it’s
gonna be masterpiece. But when first episode ended, I just made a What-the-hell
face. I know people is not perfect and they absolutely can do something wrong,
but I think the characters in this story are too careless and not too
professional. They did their own job well, but because of some shitty drama
like love or bla bla, they mostly messed everything up. Even though they are
criminals, actually they are good peoples, they only want to make money then
runaway without any bloody corpses, and they treat their hostage well. So,
overall, they are likeable characters. The plot is interesting too. If you love
some crime robbery story and can bear with some drama (that sometimes can be a
little bit too annoying), here you go, Money Heist. 8,3/10.
2. Stranger Things
Genre: science fiction, mystery, drama
Okay, do I still have to explain this series?
:D
First, when I watched the Season 1 of Stranger
Things and afterward found that this series is so fcking popular, I think it’s
overrated. Don’t get me wrong, I like this series, it’s my taste. The mystery
and thrill sensation are good, especially when they added some science fiction
explanation. But I didn’t like the characters nor hate the them neither, okay
these little boys and Eleven are cute, but just yeah okay to me. And the teens?
So fcking cliché. But when the season 2 come, this story become more good and I
can feel the character’s bond, it’s not as swallow as the first season, especially
Steve, He is so cute :3 I really like him when he helps the boys fighting the
Demogorgon. So, overall, it’s really enjoyable story like most people said, my
rating is 8.5/10.
1.
1.Sense8
Genre: science fiction, mystery, drama
The story is unique, I never watch anything
like this before. It’s about a group consisted of 8 peoples from different
countries all over the world who happened born at the same time and with some
other reasons they can visit another person’s body and mind in that group.I
think It’s the most beautiful Netflix series that I’ve ever watched, not just
because the story, the thrilled feeling sensation (how they had to be more
clever than the antagonist or even how to deal with their own problem) but also
the characters ‘s bond. One thing I felt lack about most Netflix series is
their character, but this one? They are not annoying, they are not perfect, but
they show us about friendship and their beautiful bond. No matter how different
they are, what country they are from, what life they did for living, every main
character is just perfect on their own. And yeah I really love the Germany guy,
his expression is funny :D
So, If you like series with mystery and thrill
sensation, with some drama that not too annoying (actually the drama is good,
it showed us many different feeling like how hard life it is for LGBT’s people,
how hard the situation is in Nairobi (Africa) and many more) then this series
is perfect for you. my rating is 9/10.
My fave quote from this series:
“nothing venal, vile, or vainglorious. Rather a
vital vertex of virtue, valor, and virtuosity in the name of veracity”
Congratulations! Because you read the whole list then I want to give you a reward, a perfect song when you just ended a series
