TOP 10 TV SERIES TO WATCH IN NETFLIX

First of all, before I will give you the top 10 Netflix tv series to watch during the quarantine, I would like to send my prayers to those who are affected by the pandemic virus, COVID-19. May we find our will to just keep on fighting no matter what will happen to us this year. Since the outbreak, I have been struggling as much as everybody else. The panic buying, classes suspensions, restaurant and hotels closed, airfare cancellations, lockdowns and social distancing has been vigorously affecting us all. I hope each one of us will continue to strive for our betterment of the future and may our Mother Earth heal us and united us as one.

Anyway, without further ado, I will give you my favorite top 10 TV SERIES in NETFLIX which are worth watching and are definitely worth your time. Since I am working in a hospitality management, I have been busy at work, splitting my time working at the restaurant and also working as a server at the banquets.

During my day offs, Netflix is one of my favorite things to watch just to relax and unwind. I am that kind of a girl who does not really go out and drink as much as often when I was still in college (things changed when you get older, you know). If you're like me or not, then I recommend you watching my top 10 lists in Netflix as part of your bucketlist during the COVID-19 Quarantine:

Here is my fave 10 TV SERIES in NETFLIX:

10. The Flash - Oh yes! I am a big fan of Grant Gustin who played Barry Allen a.k.a The Flash, who was also a guest star in the tv series Glee. Grant is not just a great actor, I love him because he is good in dancing and singing as well.

The Flash is an American superhero television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is actually a spin-off from Arrow, existing in the same fictional universe. The series follows Barry Allen, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities.

9. Riverdale - One of my friends during my childhood had one of those comic books of Archie, so since I found out the release of Riverdale in Netflix, I know I should watch it, basing the story surrounding the characters in Archie Comics though the series is darker and more complicated, the series itself is lovable by fans!

The series features an ensemble cast based on the characters of Archie Comics, with KJ Apa in the role of Archie Andrews; Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper, Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge, and Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones, the series' narrator. The cast also features Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom, Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy, Casey Cott as Kevin Keller, Charles Melton and Ross Butler as Reggie Mantle, and Vanessa Morgan as Toni Topaz. Other characters in the series include the parents of the main characters: Luke Perry as Fred Andrews, Mädchen Amick as Alice Cooper, Marisol Nichols and Mark Consuelos as Hermione and Hiram Lodge, and Skeet Ulrich as FP Jones.

8. American Horror Story - Sorry guys, I know not everyone is into a horror genre but I am one of those girls who are not just in chick flicks but also a hardcore horror fan. It's an American anthology horror television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk and each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries following a different set of characters, settings, and a storyline with its own "beginning, middle, and end." Some plot elements of each season are loosely inspired by true events as well. Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, and Sarah Paulson have returned most frequently, all appearing in nine of the ten seasons with Frances Conroy appearing in seven and Kathy Bates appearing in six. Other notable actors such as Denis O'Hare, Jessica Lange, Emma Roberts, Jamie Brewer, Angela Bassett, Adina Porter, and Finn Wittrock appear in five of the ten seasons.

The first season, retroactively subtitled Murder House. The second season, subtitled Asylum, takes place in Massachusetts, during 1964, and the third season, subtitled Coven, takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana, during 2013. The fourth season, subtitled Freak Show, takes place in Jupiter, Florida, during 1952, the fifth season, subtitled Hotel, takes place in Los Angeles, California, during 2015. The sixth season, subtitled Roanoke, takes place in North Carolina, during 2014–2016. The seventh season, subtitled Cult, takes place in the fictional suburb of Brookfield Heights, Michigan, during 2017, and the eighth season, subtitled Apocalypse, features the return of the witches from Coven as they battle the Antichrist from Murder House in an attempt to prevent the apocalypse. The ninth season, subtitled 1984, takes place outside of Los Angeles, California, during the titular year, 1984.

7.The Walking Dead - No doubt in my mind that this series is really indeed one of my favorites. It's kinda sad that some of the characters had to die and these characters are actually in fact our favorites (TWD fans agree to this) no more no less. To those who are not a fan and want to watch based on my recommendation, just to let you know, it's a post-apocalyptic horror television series based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. The series features a large ensemble cast as survivors of a zombie apocalypse, trying to stay alive under near-constant threat of attacks from the mindless zombies, colloquially known as "walkers". With the fall of humanity, these survivors face conflict from other living survivors who have formed groups and communities with their own sets of laws and morals, often leading to hostile conflict between the human communities.

6. Outlander - If you are into intense drama like - romantic back to the past history series, then this is for you. With so much love and romantic scenes in the series, it's one of my faves since reading the book Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight Saga" (I don't care if you are ANTI-TWILIGHT FAN, a lot of people do), and Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice". It's loosely based on the novel series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon. It stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, a married former World War II nurse who in 1946 finds herself transported back to Scotland in 1743. There she encounters the dashing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and becomes embroiled in the Jacobite risings.

5. The Witcher - To be honest, I am in love with Henry Cavill. This is the reason why I watched the series last December. I can't deny he has all the charm and his crazy sexy abs just makes me want to have sex with him. (Sorry but not sorry. It's what I feel.) Don't let your kids read this please.

It is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski and it's actually on the PS4 game. It is said to be set on a fictional, medieval-inspired landmass known as "the Continent", The Witcher explores the legend of Geralt of Rivia and princess Ciri, who are linked by destiny to each other. The show initially follows the three main protagonists at different points of time, exploring formative events that shaped their characters, before eventually merging into a single timeline.

4. Legacies - Talk about vampires, witches and werewolves, I have been into this kind of genre since the time of Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and of course let's not forget the Vampire Diaries and The Originals since Legacies is the Spin Off of both series just so you know. If you're into this swirl-wind of romance, drama and action just like the previous tv series that I mentioned above, then all of you should watch it.

3. Sex Education - Its completely hilarious! The series itself can relate to us in so many ways, sexually and awkwardly. (Like literally, we can relate, some of it). The first series follows the story of Otis Milburn played by Asa Butterfield (Space Between Us), a socially awkward teenager, who is ambivalent about sex, because of his mother being a sex therapist who is frank about all aspects of sexuality. After inadvertently assisting the school bully with his sexual performance anxiety, Otis sets up a sex advice business with Maeve—a confident but troubled classmate—to educate their fellow students in how to deal with their own sexual problems.

2. Stranger Things - Who wouldn't be a fan of ST, right? I really can't wait for the next season (no spoilers for the next season!). If you want to see kids exploring other dimensions in this sci-fantasy genre, then this tv series is definitely worth watching! Don't forget to follow their IG account, okay?! You'll gonna love it from hell to heaven! The series is set in the fictional rural town of Hawkins, Indiana, during the early 1980s. The nearby Hawkins National Laboratory ostensibly performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy, but secretly does experiments into the paranormal and supernatural, including those that involve human test subjects. Inadvertently, they have created a portal to an alternate dimension, "the Upside Down". The influence of the Upside Down starts to affect the unknowing residents of Hawkins in calamitous ways.

1. I Am Not Okay With This - I just recently watched it and it's really awesome! If you're into telekinesis - supernatural - thriller series, all of you should have time to watch the series until the end of the first season. You'll be getting thirsty for more! It's based on the comic book of the same name by Charles Forsman. The show has received positive reviews from critics two months ago after the released. If you have watch IT Chapter 1 and 2 (Remake), you'll be familiar with the actors who are taking part in the series as the protagonists; Sophia Lillis and Wyat Oleff.

The TV Series I mentioned are really the best of the best! I hope you all have a good day or two to watch every tv series in Netflix (but in reality it will be like 2 to 3 months to watch all of them) Haha! Thank you for reading!
