Spotlight: Netflix Originals

I hope I’m not alone in my frustration with the seemingly infinite amount of streaming channels these days. Anyone here old enough to remember the days when you would order DVDs through Netflix to be delivered? HA! How far we’ve come. I used to consider just getting cable and canceling our streaming services but now so many shows and movies have come out that are site-specific that I can only let go of a few.

It felt appropriate to start with the OG; so here’s my top 10 list of shows and movies that are Netflix originals! 

*There’s no particular order – I loved these all for different reasons so they’re just listed by category.

  1. Movie: The Gray Man

Action, funny, Ryan Gosling.

2. Movie: The Unforgivable

Twisty, drama, Sandra Bullock.

3. Limited Series: Maid

Inspiring, emotional, heart-wrenching.

4. Limited Series: Anatomy of a Scandal

British, crime, gripping.

5. Limited Series: Unorthodox

Puzzling, interesting, motivating.

6. Limited Series: Keep Sweet Pray & Obey

Fascinating, documentary, unnerving.

7. TV Show: Sweet Magnolias

Feel-good, light drama, sweet friendships.

8. TV Show: Virgin River

Cheesy, drama, small-town.

9. TV Show: Selling Sunset

Reality, real estate, drama.

10. TV Show: Ozark

Dark, crime, sinister.
