Lesser known binge watches for Netflix

How are you all doing? The world is going through a pandemic and all the countries are taking required measures to bring COVID-19 under control. I hope you all are staying safe. With all of us quarantined, be it in our own home, a hospital or a foreign country it becomes quite difficult to pass time. But this is essential and soon it will pass. I cannot stress how important it is for everyone to stay quarantined. If not for your own health stay back for the sake of the health of your loved ones. Your system might be immune enough to fight but what about those who are already fighting other health battles or those who are too young/ old to develop a strong immune system.

I have been in self-quarantine for about 10 days and with each passing day the search for a new movie/ series to binge watch on intensifies. I have put a list together of movies and series on Netflix that I have already watched or am planning to watch. There is no specific genre to it, just a few things I enjoy. Scroll down!
